Interested in expanding Navy article for a DYK?

Fnlayson, I wanted to see if you could expand Elliott Loughlin at all to go in on a joint DYK nomination. I'm a college basketball editor who found you via some Navy-related article's history page (you were a consistent editor on one of them). I know nothing about the Navy or its jargon, nor do I pretend to. I created the article because he was a consensus All-American basketball player at the Naval Academy in 1933 and needed an article. I've given the article my best shot (and hope that I was correct with what I wrote about his naval career), but I could really use a knowledgeable person's input and expansion on this. I'd like to make it at least 1,500 characters tor DYK eligibility. What do you say? (btw I pinged User:Neovu79 about this as well) Jrcla2 (talk) 04:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't have any sources to help with this. But I will look at it... -Fnlayson (talk) 18:14, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your intent to help, but User:JMOprof has assisted me with this and a revised version will be made soon. Again, thanks! Jrcla2 (talk) 20:12, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

• Hopefully you two can fill in gaps in his history. I'll check in on it later. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your review and insights. You've taught me a lot about Wikipedia. And while I still don't get which pipe characters are followed by spaces and which aren't ☺ , I'm savvy enough to know and follow good example. Would it be a trouble for you to look at Maurice H. Rindskopf to see if I'm on the accepted path? I don't want to impose, but do wish to do better. Thank you. JMOprof (talk) 16:20, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

• Glad you were able to pick some things from me. As far as I know there's nothing wrong a space before and after the pipe character (|) in templates. I like to have one before the pipe to help with reading on the edit screen. There are some other formatting things that are acceptable either way. I'll check that article later today.. -Fnlayson (talk) 17:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your time and improvements. I continue to learn. If you ever need help with submarine topic, please ask. I'm a served submariner, the son of another, and have rights to use a fine military library. World War 2 subs are my hobby. All the best, JMOprof (talk) 17:24, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

AW101

Hi Fnlayson. I was wondering, do you have any ideas for further work on the AW101? I've hit a roadblock trying to deal with the three remaining citation needed tags, and rather than getting too narrow-minded on that one issue, I thought to ask you on what you have been considering of the article's condition. I've noted your interest in the project, and although it looks unlikely to be made suitable for GANing with the aforementioned tags, it has been a fairly good refit of the article; have you got any thoughts on areas to address or key information/sources that haven't been incorperated into the article already? Kyteto (talk) 19:28, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

OK, I had not noticed the cite needed tags in the article. I'll see what I can find to cover them.. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:48, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

I added 2 refs. No cite needed tags left there now. I have only one print source with much detail on the EH101/AW101. That's the Eden Encyclopedia of Modern Military Aircraft book, which has 2 pages on it. So I don't know of any particular details that are missing. -Fnlayson (talk) 03:28, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Okay then, I think it is good to go for a GAN then. Thank you for your help. Kyteto (talk) 13:57, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Well done Kyeto! Sorry, I should have helped more, but did not care for the review. It seemed too focused on seemingly minor things... -Fnlayson (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Thanks. I try to do more in-depth work too, but often times the trash needs taking out first... ;) -Fnlayson (talk) 22:46, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Removal of my text

Hello,

The reason I am writing this to you is because you removed something I wrote without stating a proper reason.

I recently wrote a small paragraph about a recent incident on the article Boeing 777. You removed it stating it wasn't related and it had copied text. But, for your information I had typed all of it by myself and it was clearly about a 777 incident, so the reasons you stated obviously can't be legitimate.

Please state a proper reason for doing so. --Zahir (talk) 09:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I already provided reasons in my edit summary. Much of your text was copied directly from the source. That's a copyright violation. The comment about the armrests have noting to to with aviation accidents and incidents, which is only what the section is for. -Fnlayson (talk) 16:08, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
