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.

==Yes, back, sort of, anyway== |
|||
I'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. —[[User:SkipperPilot|SkipperPilot]] ([[User talk:SkipperPilot|talk]]) 04:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC) |

==Beechcraft Premier II== |
|||
Someone 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. - [[User:BillCJ|BillCJ]] ([[User talk: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. - [[User:BillCJ|BillCJ]] ([[User talk:BillCJ|talk]]) 03:55, 29 May 2008 (UTC) |

:From the pictures, this looks like the [[Eclipse ECJ]]. Is it? If they are basically the same plane, then we can just move it to [[Eclipse 400]]. If the 400 is going to vary to a maior degree, then a new article would be best. As above, I don't know enough about them to make a knowledgable decision. - [[User:BillCJ|BillCJ]] ([[User talk:BillCJ|talk]]) 00:44, 31 May 2008 (UTC) |

:No problem. The offer remains open, though - so if at some point in the future you feel you'd like to take up the mop and bucket, let me know and I'd be very glad to nominate you (or, you could of course nominate yourself).

== DayJet == |
|||
I 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!

== Specifications == |
|||
Noticed 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. [[User:MilborneOne|MilborneOne]] ([[User talk:MilborneOne|talk]]) 22:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC) |

:OK I find aerospecs easier to use a quick look at RU-38 and I suspect the lack of engine power upsets it. [[User:MilborneOne|MilborneOne]] ([[User talk:MilborneOne|talk]]) 22:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC) |

==Embraer MLJ/MSJ== |
|||
Adam, I need a spot-check when you can. Embraer has renamed the [[Embraer MLJ]] and [[Embraer MSJ]], per [http://www.domain-b.com/aero/aero_mfg/20080522_announces.html 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? |
|||
* MLJ - Legacy 450 |
|||
* MSJ - Legacy 500 |
|||
Thanks! - [[User:BillCJ|BillCJ]] ([[User talk:BillCJ|talk]]) 18:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC) |
|||

Seriously. 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.

== Leading edge slot == |
|||
Hi Ahunt. On 15 July I amended [[Leading edge slot]] to incorporate extra text. One of the sentences I added was: |
|||
:''Full-span slots and slats are not widely used because they usually necessitate long undercarriage legs that either cause high drag, or are longer than can be accommodated easily inside the airframe.'' |
|||
To support this sentence I added the following citation:<br /> |
|||
Kermode, A.C., ''Mechanics of Flight'', Figures 6.6 and 6.7 |
|||
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. [[User:Dolphin51|Dolphin51]] ([[User talk:Dolphin51|talk]]) 23:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC) |

== More Schweizer == |
|||
At 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? --[[User:Rlandmann|Rlandmann]] ([[User talk:Rlandmann|talk]]) 22:21, 6 August 2008 (UTC) |

==Image guidelines== |
|||
Good 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 [[User:Nimbus227|Nimbus]] ([[User talk:Nimbus227|talk]]) 17:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC) |

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.

== Recent [[Joomla!]] Page changes == |
|||
Ahunt - |
|||
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): |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
On August 18 2005, Andrew Eddie called for community input on suggested names for the project. The core team indicated that it would make the final decision for the project name based on community input. The name the core team eventually chose was not on the list of suggested names provided by the community. |
|||
</blockquote> |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
On September 7, 2005, the development team called for logo submissions from the community, invited the community to vote on the logo preferred, and announced the community's decision on September 22, 2005. Following the logo selection, |
|||
</blockquote> |
|||
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: |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
On September 1, 2005 the new name, "Joomla", was announced, which is the English spelling of the Swahili (Arabic:جملة ,and Urdu: جملہ ) word jumla meaning "all together" or "as a whole" [8]. Brand guidelines, a brand manual, and set of logo resources were published on October 2, 2005 for the community's use.[9] |

::Unfortunately, in a free software community, forum posts and blogs tend to be the source of authority. I do not know what else we would use for source documentation.

It's a difficult line to draw, but there is, of course, a difference between a quote from a personal blog with no oversight of community participation, and the postings of an official member of a project team on a forum with hundreds of thousands of participants.

Technological developments like the Crecy fascinate me, it had Bosch fuel injectors, still got them in my car 70 years later. Think it will be unflyable tomorrow so a day on WP ahead probably.

:::::Not very good at that, managed 10 yards on tow behind a Skidoo in Norway on TDY before falling over! Do you remember [[Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards]]? 10/10 for effort. He used to practise his body position by jumping flat on to the kitchen table.

::::::Birth town? Eddie was a national hero at the time, wonder what he is doing now. I am only about 50 miles from him. Got a long road ahead with the Crecy (but I like challenges), I've just had a good read through and it's not as good as I thought. Did you know that lean mixtures decrease the risk of detonation?! The article needs restructuring completely. Past bedtime here, on my way now (but might be taking a book with me!). Speak tomorrow, cheers.

==Continental Motors== |
|||
Adam (and Gary too), I just had a look at the [[Continental Motors]] in preparation for making a navbox for the company. Eeek! It looks like it was written by a car fanboy! the main section is a poorly written timeline, and then it lists brands of automobiles that have used Continental engines, but no engine types, either for automobiles or aircraft. There are several aircraft engine links in the article, but not many. I'll try to get a template set up after my sleep period, but I'll definitely need help filling it out. Thanks! - [[User:BillCJ|BillCJ]] ([[User talk:BillCJ|talk]]) 10:19, 19 November 2008 (UTC) |

:Thanks for the list on the company page - it helps alot. Also, I just had a look at [[Continental C85]] and [[Continental O-190]] - they appear to be near-duplicate articles, though there are some diffences. RL created the original C85 article 2007, then moved it to O-190 soon after. Five month later, an IP restored the original C85 page without trying to undo the move, or noting it at the O-190 page, and it apparently went unnoticed. The differences need to be reconciled, and one page made a redirect to the other. Any prefences on which is the primary page? I agree with RL that O-190 seems best. If you are able to time-wise, could you do the merge? Thanks. - [[User:BillCJ|BillCJ]] ([[User talk:BillCJ|talk]]) 18:49, 19 November 2008 (UTC) |

::Nice piccies Adam, the ultralight thingies have always scared me and anything that uses your legs as undercarriage has got to be risky! Looks like fun though. I think there is a Rolls-Royce/Continental tie-up (produced under license in UK?). Like Bill I thought I'd got the wrong article....'although they made some aircraft engines'......!! [[Rolls-Royce Limited]] has the same problem, have a look.

:::I suppose the text is Ok in the RR article but the number of car images is silly and not one aircraft engine image. I posted a note on the creator's talk page but was ignored (maybe he didn't want to go back in there!). Someone is sure to cry if an aircraft engine photo was posted. There is [[Rolls-Royce aircraft piston engines]] which could be expanded, I've got a couple of RR books on the way. Are you flying any GA at the moment?

::::I don't fly much now (used to do it full time), I do duty at the club glider aerotowing with Cubs, Pawnees and Robin DR400 plus dawn/dusk patrols in the Tiger Moth when I can. Have a friend in Germany, ex-F-104, F-4 and Crossair Avro RJ pilot who doesn't fly anymore. It is getting expensive in the UK, avgas £1.60 a litre. Be sure to let us know when your book is out.

:::::Well if you ever come to the UK I think you could cope with our Tiger Moth, any good at hand swinging propellers?!! Just had a quick look at Ruth's book, obviously a very clever lady. My son is autistic which is a different kind of disability but it's there all the time, causing great problems with schooling. I think he got it from me (organising lists of things into boxes?!) He loves reading WP, he did some 'freelance' IP editing once which was amusing, totally banned now (by me, not WP) and he abides by it. Had a little go at [[Continental I-1430]], just formatting tweaks, could do with some cites.
