June 2018

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:22, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft

Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 01:38, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Machine-translated text

Please do not insert machine-translated text into articles without proofreading and copyediting. You are free to put machine-translated text in your sandbox and drafting spaces as notes, but such text should not be in the article mainspace. If you need help writing articles and want someone to proofread your work, feel free to ask, but do not copy-paste google-translated text into articles. Thank you.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 16:57, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

PlanspotterA320, I insert machine-translated text as a base, so that we have the information, and then we can edit. The machine translated text was not intended as the final form. Erfson (talk) 18:22, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Then please put it in your sandbox, copyedit it, and then put it in the article. Because machine translated text often has lots of technical, grammar, and formatting errors. Other users don't have time to fix every single article you've inserted machine translated text into - by the time we finish fixing one article, three more articles have machine-translated text added, creating a growing mess. Your sandbox is a great place to draft articles. I appreciate your enthusiasm and look forward to reading the articles you write, but we cannot allow pure machine-generated text to say in the article mainspace due to the huge amount of innacuracies and flaws from machine translation.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 18:26, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Elizabeth L. Gardner

Hi Erfosn. A couple of things about this article.

The first one is that blogs, personal websites, and other similar user-generated content are typically not considered to be reliable sources for Wikipedia's purposes. The information contained on such sites might be true, but they cannot be used as citations in support of article content, except under certain conditions like explained in WP:NEWSBLOG or WP:SPS.

Next, you shouldn't copy and paste large blocks of content found on external websites or in reliable sources directly into Wikipedia articles because this almost always going to be seen as a WP:COPVIO and WP:PLAGIARISM; even WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE is not allowed. Even if you cite a source in support, Wikipedia's licensing requirements and the licensing of the source are almost always in conflict which means Wikipedia would in a sense be infringing upon someone else's copyright. Short quotations are often allowed, but only if they meet MOS:QUOTE.

Finally, generally only subject deemed Wikipedia notable are considered OK to have articles written about them. Whether something/someone is Wikipedia notable is bascially determined by whether it can be established that it/they has received WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources. I've asked about Gardner at WT:MILHIST#Elizabeth L. Gardner and so far the first response is not very positive; so, if you are aware of any old newspapers, magazines, books, etc. which have some substanial coverage of Gardner (not just a name mention in a caption or in a sentence), then please add those to the article as citations; if you're not sure how to do that, please see WP:REFB for some general information. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:38, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, the article was on a list of requested aviators for wikiproject:aircraft. Please explain why we should not have the article
