Black Cat (B-24)

Hi Bill, I moved the article to fit in with the vast majority of named aircraft articles (that I have come across), which use the name in italics, followed by the aircraft type in parentheses. I know there is no laid down strict policy, but if there is a majority of similar articles named this way, does that not count as concensus?--Petebutt (talk) 11:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

The vast majority of named aircraft articles don't use a disambiguator at all, as it's not needed. In Category:Individual aircraft, 16 articles with disambiguators use aircraft, airship, or helicopter, etc, while 4 use the type. In Category:Individual aircraft of World War II, 9 articles with disambiguators use aircraft, airship, or helicopter, etc, while 14 use the type. (I've not included Black Cat in the totals here.) That's 25 using aircraft, etc, and 18 using the type. Not a vast majority either way, but using type is in the minority. It does appear we need to address the issue to get a clear consensus one way or another. I'll start a discussion (or you can start it if you beat me to it!) at WT:AIR/NC, with notices about the discussion at WT:AIR and WT:AVIATION. - BilCat (talk) 14:43, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Co-nom for FAC

Hi BilCat, since you have contributed extensively to AV-8B, are you willing to be co-nom for its upcoming FAC? --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 08:56, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, but FACs are beyond my area of expertise on WP. Good luck in your effort to improve the article to FAC status. - BilCat (talk) 12:35, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Georgia

I have raised this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#Georgia. 183.89.118.75 (talk) 20:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Are you working on the College Football Wiki Project? How can I help? Myself and other classmates are studying wiki projects at the University of Washington, but we are all first time users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.135.6.65 (talk) 01:11, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Apologies for my absence

Hey Bill, how's it going? Sorry for being MIA for over 2 months, been very busy with the family matters as well as MI's 737 MAX program. Anything I missed? :) --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 06:15, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey Dave, welcome back! Always interesting stuff going on. You can check my archives, see if you find anything you like. ;) - BilCat (talk) 06:21, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Remember the "lost due to navigational error" fracas on the SR-71 page a few years ago? Check out Space Shuttle's history for the new version, by a presumably unrelated, though about as smart, user! - BilCat (talk) 06:28, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

• Again?!?! Wow... more than 60 days I was away and here I am, back to the same shit. Well, it is quite clear that someone's (or a lot of someone) been watching too much of afternoon reruns. Thunderbirds are go~! :) --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 18:04, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Accusations

In future, if you would like to make accusations against editors (such as calling me "sneaky" and "disruptive" and "pointy"), then I suggest you do so at user talk pages instead of article talk pages. In any event, I consider those accusations absurd and over the top. But as I said before, I am done with the article in question, because I have more pleasant ways to pass my time than trying to deal with such aggressiveness.Anythingyouwant (talk) 02:13, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
