ThanksAdam, thanks alot. Hope you and the family are well. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 20:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC). Thanks for your welcoming words.Greetings, I think I'll wait to create my own user page until (or if) I get my bearings. If were to, I'd probaly lean heavily on your suggestions and examples. There appears to be a possible error in the infobox for the deHavilland Chipmunk. The number produced lists 1075 with hot-linked reference. I went to the reference and added up the total number of the different models and came up with 1230. Am I missing something? In any event I have no idea how to edit the infobox. Aracfi (talk) 17:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC) Yes, back, sort of, anywayI'm kind of back, kind of never left. My schedule varies so much from quarter to quarter and year to year that my editing is always in fits and starts. I just sneaked in a little here in the past day or two, though I'm still otherwise quite busy and may not do very much of substance for some months to come. Always nice to exchange thoughts with you. —SkipperPilot (talk) 04:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Wikicookie Withdrawing from the projectBasically I've got fed up of the efforts of a few editors to bully their way past consensus - just look at the current state of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft. I thought it sensible to withdraw to avoid saying something I would regret.Nigel Ish (talk) 21:53, 23 May 2008 (UTC) CH-113 Labrador & CH-124 Sea KingGreetings Adam, Shouldn't these articles' titles be lead with the aircraft's manufacturer's names?Aracfi (talk) 07:17, 24 May 2008 (UTC) I assume you think your first edit summary was civil then?lol bud 72.0.180.2 (talk) 01:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Beechcraft Premier IISomeone just added info on the new Beechcraft Premier II to the Beechcraft Premier I page. My question is, are thes arecraft close enough that we should rename the page Beechcraft Premier, or should we make a Beechcraft Premier II page? I'm honestly asking, because I really don't know. I'm OK with either option as long at it best reflects the proper relationship between the I and II. Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 01:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC) OK, thanks. It seemed to me they were the same basic aircraft too, but I wanted to get a second, more-knowledgeable opinion, since you are more familar with the civil types than I am. As short as the existing page is now, I don't foresee it becoming too big in the near futrue, but ya never know! I'll move the page shortly. - BillCJ (talk) 03:55, 29 May 2008 (UTC) Eclipse 400[1].

TG-4This is what I have: Laister-Kauffman TG-4 - Military version of the Model LK.10 Yankee Doodle two-seat sailplane:
From John Andrade, U.S.Military Aircraft Designations and Serials since 1909, Midland Counties Publications, 1979, ISBN 0 904597 22 9, Page 169 and 170. MilborneOne (talk) 15:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC) RfAHi Adam - I was just wondering whether you'd be open to nomination for adminship? You've certainly been here long enough to have a handle on how things work and definitely have the right attitude. Let me know. --Rlandmann (talk) 21:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
DayJetI have removed the links and text and had a tidy up they appears to be SPAM and COI issues with the additions being made (the IP is from the same location as DayJets HQ!). I will add it to my watchlist and keep an eye on it. The article already has a link to dayjet.com and anything else is SPAM and being used for to promote a non-notable scheme! MilborneOne (talk) 21:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC) SpecificationsNoticed you are using Template:Aircraft specifications in your new aircraft articles, nothing wrong with that but I find the newer Template:Aerospecs a lot easier to use. MilborneOne (talk) 22:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Embraer MLJ/MSJAdam, I need a spot-check when you can. Embraer has renamed the Embraer MLJ and Embraer MSJ, per this link. The Embraer website now lists the Legacy 450 and 500, so we need to move the MLJ and MSJ pages to the new names. However, their site is unclear as to which models were the MLJ and MSJ, and the news story is a bit obtuse. An IP user tried to make some changes to the Embraer MLJ page a few days ago, but really seemed to have not known what they were doing. I don't want to make the same mistake, because it will be a bear to change if I move them to the wrong new names. Can you double-check this for me?
Thanks! - BillCJ (talk) 18:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC) Thanks! I'll move them shortly. - BillCJ (talk) 20:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC) UnFREEzAfD nomination of UnFREEz I have nominated UnFREEz, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UnFREEz. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? GDallimore (Talk) 22:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC) CT-134 MusketeerA long-time editor, though one I have not run into before, has created the CT-134 Musketeer page. It needs alot of work as written, infobox, etc., but I thought I'd run it by you first. - BillCJ (talk) 06:42, 28 June 2008 (UTC) Uh, I think it was my fault: I never removed the "Split" tags from when we discussed this last year! Oops! - BillCJ (talk) 06:59, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Tiger AircraftHad a tidy up at Tiger Aircraft it repeated itself and was full of non-notable info. Let me know if I have gone to far! The article on the aircraft could do with some of the non-relevant stuff taken out as well.

I have nothing displayed on the picture side of my Cadets boxes as protest against not being able to use the various cadet organization badges due to the overly paranoid fair use policy. And considering how I've heard that most army cadet corps don't do much out of their dress uniforms these days, a patch of CADPAT doesn't really seem appropriate, anyway. So I'm changing it back. --coldacid (Talk|Contrib) 12:11, 7 July 2008 (UTC) Hi, I appreciate what you did to the article, but it is really necessary to tag it like that? Couldn't you use e.g. one per headline, and not one for every single paragraph? It just looks weird. -- 77.12.203.225 (talk) 21:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC) Hi, you can find the reference in the linked article Night flying restrictions. It is common practise in Wikipedia to put the references into the linked article. Inwind (talk) 15:27, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Re:Avro VulcanHi, sorry about the edit, but I made it because it was suggested here Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Avro Vulcan. Sorry about the confusion.

UBXP member list cleanupMight be a good idea to shuffle anyone who hasn't editing in over 6 months onto an inactive list or something, or even just comment out their names. –xeno (talk) 13:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lotI didn't know how to change the color of the text on the userbox so I left it. I figured vandalism and misuse was the only place to put it. I didn't know where to put it really I just put it where I thought was correct. One more thing, I don't think the licences for the picture isn't correct. I think it'll get deleted. Can you tell me what to do? Thanks a million. --Cond Leading edge slotHi Ahunt. On 15 July I amended Leading edge slot to incorporate extra text. One of the sentences I added was:
To support this sentence I added the following citation: On 23 July you deleted the above sentence, writing unsourced text removed, even though the sentence was supported by citation of Kermode’s book. Why did you do that? I am puzzled. You deleted the sentence, but you did not delete its supporting citation of Kermode’s book. The resulting juxtaposition of the reference to Kermode’s book, and the preceding paragraph about the Storch, Zenair, and the primary purpose of slots suggested Kermode’s book was the source for the paragraph. (That was incorrect so I deleted the reference to Kermode’s book until I could ascertain why you regarded my sentence as unsourced text.) I think the most likely explanation for the above is haste. I see you have added a reference to the Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms. That is good, but you have referred to staling angle rather than stalling angle. You are making multiple edits at intervals of 3, 4 or 5 minutes. Can I suggest you slow down, check your edits before saving, and get them right first time? Happy editing. Dolphin51 (talk) 23:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC) Thank youMany thanks - to be quite honest, I was a little nervous about what your reaction might be. At risk of indulging in a little mutual admiration here, I'd like to also just say that in the course of that work, I was really impressed by the thoroughness of your coverage of the Schweizer types. I'd been vaguely aware of these articles, but having read each and every one of them in turn, I've only now realised what a great corpus of work they represent. We need more like this! :) Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 21:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC) PeacekeepingWell done on that article, and thanks for quoting the Wales statement on removal of unsourced BS. Nice job. Dbrodbeck (talk) 01:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC) More SchweizerAt the moment, the List of military aircraft of the United States includes a short-lived (1960-62) designation letter of "S" for "sailplane". I haven't been able to verify this anywhere else, but since the two designations supposedly assigned (S-1 and S-2) were to Schweizer types, I just wondered whether you had come across this in your research on this manufacturer? --Rlandmann (talk) 22:21, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Integrated banner for WikiProject SoftwareGreetings,I have made a proposal for a integrated banner for the project here . I invite you for your valuable comments in the discussion. You are receiving this note as you are a member of the project. Thanks -- Tinu Cherian - 11:05, 7 August 2008 (UTC) Thanks..but remember it takes a lot of people, pushing and tugging at the same time.   FWiW Bzuk (talk) 17:01, 8 August 2008 (UTC).
Units etcIncidentally, you can easily do what I do. Just paste: importScript('User:Lightmouse/monobook.js/script.js'); into User:Ahunt/monobook.js. Once you have cleared your cache, you will get some handy tabs to use whenever you edit an article. Lightmouse (talk) 12:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Image guidelinesGood thinking on this proposal, I hope it gets implemented after it is thrashed out and everyone (or most everyone!) agrees. The info box edit warring in many aircraft articles is saddening, especially the recent removal of a fantastic image from Supermarine Spitfire after only one editors 'unique reasoning'. I thought recently about a solution involving voting for the info box image and once it is there it could not be questioned again. Probably a bit drastic but it would stop a lot of unnecessary typing!! Did you fly 'Hueys' at Goose Bay? I had two great trips in one in the early 90's whilst there with a Tornado Sqn for eight weeks, joy! Take care Nimbus (talk) 17:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC) Cessna 402I have added the Coventry accident back into the Cessna 402 page for the moment, as it is on all the news bulletins in the UK. I suspect if it is removed we will just end up deleting it every few hours. Certainly at the moment not notable from the BBC report but we can remove it later with reference the guidelines when it becomes old news. MilborneOne (talk) 18:09, 17 August 2008 (UTC) Can you not try that then?Do what's best for the page! Please help!--Editor510 drop us a line, mate 18:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:EuropaLogo.gif Thanks for uploading Image:EuropaLogo.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Recent Joomla! Page changesAhunt - Thank you for cleaning up the Joomla! page. I agree with the removal of forum post links. The forum posts were added in response to repeated (and continuing) allegations by Elamic (that he has not substantiated) to show what really happened at the time. Based on the changes you made, I request that you also consider removing the following due to A) a lack of relevance; and B) a lack of substantiation (which had been provided by the forum links):
Those additional corrective edits would then leave in place the following two statements about the name and logo choices. I believe that would provide adequate coverage of the event with clear statements in a neutral point of view:

PA-XX disambigsNo problem, my main goal this time was to make sure that XX ## and XX-## lead, somehow, to the congressional districts; having disambig pages works for that. :) This was just one man's strange crusade to get that done, I'm sure a lot of them can be dabbed better than I've done it. --Golbez (talk) 20:08, 19 October 2008 (UTC) BarnstarThanks!

I guess the laws here are different than the US, because here, you can use logos in any way as long as they are not changed/destroyed. Speaking of userboxes, do you think RV-8A and RV-12 photosAfter uploading my RV-12 photo I was reading information on adding an infobox Aircraft and by the time figured it out you had already added the infobox to the RV-12 page. :-)

After you'd decided to engage in quite a lot of argument over whether this was the case earlier this year, I figured you'd appreciate knowing the final score. I've written a new article on the subect, MinWin, which will hopefully clear up some of the confusion about the use and re-use of the word "MinWin" to describe a portion of Windows.
