Constant reverts in Meteor, Me 262 and Comet articles

Thanks Trevor. Bzuk 2:43 14 February 2007 (UTC).

de Havilland Comet

-Sigh, some people never learn...Michael Shrimpton comment: (starting to repair BZuk's vandlaism, he really is aviation illiterate, seems impervious to reason.)Bzuk 17:48 15 February 2007 (UTC).

Thank you again, that notice you have placed on the article will help eliminate the constant stream of additional unsupported and spurious commentary that complements the observations still present in the body of the material. BTW, Trevor, are you a writer yourself? I do need an article for our aviation trade journal on the trials and tribulations of an AirMed (MEDEVAC) pilot. Interested?

I award you the Aviation Barnstar in recognition of your knowledgeable contribution to aviation articles. -Bzuk

Engine specs

Hi Trevor - just a quick note about a quirk of {{aerospecs}} since I've seen you run foul of it a couple of times now. If you trim out the "eng2" parameters from the template, an extra "each" will display at the end of eng1 line, even if it's a single-engine type (see here).

When I designed aerospecs, I'll admit that I didn't account for people occasionally removing lines from the code (let alone some people who've made a systematic crusade out of doing so!) and what effect that would have on the output. I've got a more robust version in development, but for now, please leave the eng2 parameters in there, whatever else you trim out!

PS: I removed your addition of the genhide and perfhide fixes from {{aerostart}} - we so seldom need to use these that they're probably better added on a case-by-case basis, as required. --Rlandmann (talk) 22:40, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Moroccan airports

Tks for fast reviewing my edits/contr to the two Moroccan airports. For Ibn Batouta International Airport I removed the stub-template on the article page. But when I look on Talk it seems a C-class - or do I misunderstand the class-system. Also the classification of Al Massira Airport is said to be stub on talk.

Can you check what is correct - I don't want to change templates before I really know how they should be used. Tks again, --JanT (talk) 01:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: C-Class rating

Hi- @ User_talk:Brad101#C-class_coding you offered to make the project banner changes. WP:SHIPS will go with a C class rating only if items 3-5 are met and the B Class rating should follow the same as WP:MILHIST uses. If the checklist is not filled out the default should be Start even if someone tries to rate it B or C. Note that there was some changes made to our banner that made C default to start; this change was done a week or two ago. I also liked the idea that you did for aviation where a template, category or image would automatically assess. Our importance rating on those pages would be =NA. Would appreciate if you could make those changes. --Brad (talk) 17:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

misread the rating-request page, everything seems to be ok. --JanT (talk) 02:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Not sure exactly what you mean here. I notice that I can assign a B or a C without the checklist being filled out which doesn't meet what we were looking for. --Brad (talk) 02:21, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Kralizec! (talk · contribs) made the changes from the sandbox template to the active template and its working except that we lost our A class articles and I believe there are also problems with the NA class. Hopefully you might get a look at this before Kralizec! can. --Brad (talk) 01:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Be careful not to revert db-g7s.

Ji'an or Jinggangshan Airport

The Ji'an or Jinggangshan is same Airport . I know it very well. Because I live in Ji'an and studying medicine in Jinggangshan University. I have also visited the Jinggangshan Airport. So I would request to delete the Ji'an Airport article. Its original name is Jinggangshan Airport.--Kaish (talk) 15:35, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

WPAVIATION creator

I like it! Only one (small) gripe: the sources section presume using certain books. Might leave the title/location fields open. (Not that changing them is hard to fix...) If you leave it alone, I'd still use it. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 22:12, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I just copied Template:aerostart that User:Rlandmann uses. I'll remove the refs part. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 22:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Il-86

Thank you for looking at the page, helping with aspects of it, and most of all for reassessing it to C-class. I am baffled by the banner calling for more in-text citations. Surely, there is a huge number?! Also, in reassessing, you noted (I infer) that the article met four-fifths of the B-class checklist. I looked this up and it has six items... Please give me a pointer as to what I can specifically do to boost the rating through future edits and what you feel needs doing, regardless of ratings. I have plenty of material but am mindful of the 32kb limit which is reached as I write this; the more I add, the more must be tipped out. Question is -- what exactly to tip out..?78.147.163.83 (talk) 23:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:NASA Shuttle Transport.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:NASA Shuttle Transport.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:NASA Shuttle Transport.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Σαι ( Talk) 06:08, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
