I'm not sure why you are copying the article at China Airlines Flight 611 to China airlines flight 611 since the existing article has the correct capitalization, but please stop. If you want to work on the the article, please edit the existing article. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:20, 21 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Siberia Airlines Flight 1812‎, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed.

Proposed deletion of Halifax International airport,

edit

Hello, Matthewa522. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Halifax International airport,, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Richard Yetalk 23:11, 21 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Redirects: something you might want to know about

edit

Hi Matthewa522, welcome to Wikipedia! I see that you've created many short article that seem to be variations on names of existing articles, like Jegu Airport. You might want to read this page, which will show you how to create redirects, so that the alternate titles you create will go to the existing pages. Hope this helps!
