"all the C&C boats, except two that we don't have refs for"[edit]
(→October 2018: this finishes basic articles for all the C&C boats, except two that we don't have refs for)
Which two? Ken Heaton (talk) 20:15, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

- Is any of the following of use for the C&C Custom Pilothouse 54?
- https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:698735/mmsi:512000065/imo:0/vessel:TARA_MOANA (this link will provide a photo but is slow to do so)
- There is a photo of a C&C Custom Pilothouse 54 at this link, in the section on cutters: http://www.jordanyachts.com/3745
- The following search will provide some information, length, width, draft, etc. for the only C&C 54 I could find in the United States Coast Guard Port State Information Exchange database. Using the Hull Identification Number (HIN), the first three characters are a MIC (Manufacturer Identification Code) assigned by the Coast Guard to the manufacturer, which for C&C Yachts is ZCC. The next two digits are the hull length (actually, these two digits are part of the boat's hull serial number but C&C always used the 4th and 5th characters in the HIN for the model, which was always the length). The next three digits are the rest of the serial number, in this case 001 (so Hull No. 1). the last 4 digits are M84F, so the hull was certified in January (F = Jan) of 1984.

- For the C&C 52 Custom, the same United States Coast Guard Port State Information Exchange search using a HIN starting with ZCC52 reveals a boat named SAPPHIRE, HIN: ZCC520011277, built started in December of 1977 for the 1978 model year. Length: 52.00 ft, Breadth: 16.00 ft, Depth: 7.80 ft, Build Year: 1978 Ken Heaton (talk) 23:40, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- A search on the United States Coast Guard's (USCG) vessel data base here: https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/st1/CoastGuard/, using the 667603 (Official Number (U.S.)) from the above search will reveal this boat used to be named 'Cadence". There is a photo of her here: https://www.dpreview.com/galleries/1566182196/photos/2449929/ another here: http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?/topic/123219-some-of-my-old-sailing-photos-2/&page=7&tab=comments#comment-3952877 on more here: http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?/topic/113336-some-of-my-old-sailing-photos/&page=5&tab=comments#comment-3051675 "Cadence" shows up here too: https://www.chicagoyachtclub.org/files/George%20Owens%20Clinch.pdf, as first to finish in both 1984 and '85 as winner of the Race to Mackinac First to Finish Trophy. I'll keep looking. Ken Heaton (talk) 23:53, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- Those are good efforts and prove that the individual boats exist, but they aren't going to make WP:GNG for notability for an article. They are kind of similar to basing a biography article on a phone book listing. We need at very least an entry on the boat type on sailboatdata.com or similar and more preferably a review in a magazine or equiv. - Ahunt (talk) 01:55, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Germanwings Flight 9525[edit]
I did not know about the consensus until now. There was a separate article of Andreas Lubitz in the Simple English version, so I thought I would be okay to make one in the regular English version. I should have known earlier, and I apologize. Tigerdude9 (talk) 15:51, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- Okay, well sorry you missed it. Most people would have tried to create the new article at Andreas Lubitz with no disambiguator and seen the note there about the AfD and also noted that that page is locked for editing to prevent anyone re-creating the article, but no matter, all fixed. - Ahunt (talk) 22:36, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
I don't know what to call this subject yet[edit]
You hate me (or you at least hate my editing but don't hate me altogether), don't you. Be honest. Tigerdude9 (talk) 17:37, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- Not sure what you are on about here. I just noted an existing consensus and fixed things as per that consensus. It is policy, nothing personal to it. - Ahunt (talk) 22:37, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Dominica DC-9 air disaster[edit]
For the second time, the articles’s title was changed to Dominicana flight 603. I did it stating the improperly sounding title (I forgot to state how the info box was reading Dominicana flight 603) however, William was unhappy about it even though I showed him the time table you found (I think the flight number became 603 AFTER the accident, but the airline may have kept it), so I had to move it back, and I changed the info box title as well. We need more information on that flight number. Until then, the article title stays the same.Tigerdude9 (talk) 13:25, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. The article you are referring to seems to be Dominicana DC-9 air disaster. I think you need to come up with a consensus on the name by starting a discussion at Talk:Dominicana DC-9 air disaster. - Ahunt (talk) 14:02, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Thank you - Edit CFB Chatham[edit]
Thank you for catching my error on the CFB Chatham page. Great eye. Mech1949 (talk) 17:53, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
Metrojet Flight 9268[edit]
The image of the aircraft involved (in its livery at the time it was bombed) isn’t displaying properly in the mobile app. The other one did though. I’m not the master at image editing, so how do I fix it? Or should I just revert to the older image? Tigerdude9 (talk) 14:37, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- I don't see anything wrong with the image file itself. It displays fine on the mobile version at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrojet_Flight_9268 and even at cellphone screen widths, at least on Firefox. I suspect it may be an issue with the mobile browser you are using. Have you tried another browser? - Ahunt (talk) 15:04, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- (I apologize because I should have been more specific earlier) I meant it was not appearing at the very top of the article on the mobile app, before the article starts. Anyways, the mobile browser I use is safari, and it also didn't display properly. I just tried using the mobile version of google chrome, at the same thing happened. Tigerdude9 (talk) 16:08, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. The page coding is all correct as far as I can see. It seems that the mobile version of Wikipedia does that for all articles. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Syrian_Air_Force_An-26_crash for another example. It seems to be part of the way mobile pages are intentionally displayed, to put the intro text ahead of the info box on cellphones. - Ahunt (talk) 16:16, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17[edit]
I apologize in advance for anything in my recent edits that looks unnecessary. Look in the edit history, where I explain more. Again I apologize in advance if I messed up (which I probably did), I really do. UPDATE: I undid the edits myself. I decided not to take the risk. Tigerdude9 (talk) 17:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
- No need to apologize in advance for anything here. Let me have a look at the article history. - Ahunt (talk) 17:47, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
When you're adding a CN flag, use REASONS[edit]
I was going to fix this for you, but since you undid my edit instead of fixing it properly I'm not allowed to. Please be more careful when undoing legit edits!!!!!!!!
Like this, with a pipe character: (cn|reason=whatever the reason is) Ninjalectual (talk) 22:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
- I actually didn't add a citation needed tag, I restored one you deleted, which left the whole para uncited and not tagged. I provided my reasoning in the edit summary. Feel free to remove it and add refs if you like. - Ahunt (talk) 22:30, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
About my political views[edit]
I want to be more open about my political views (who I like and hate), but at the same time, I'm nervous how others will react, and I even fear vandalism. I will tell you more information: I'm a democrat. But what would be the best thing to do? Tigerdude9 (talk) 13:44, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
- Good question. It is up to you of course. I personally don't put political views on my user page because I think it might give the impression of bias or conflict of interest, even though I don't edit political articles (mostly aircraft, sailboats and software articles). - Ahunt (talk) 14:04, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
Browser differences[edit]
Just FYI, this edit makes everything line up on chrome, IE and edge. (At least on my screen.) Sario528 (talk) 14:45, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note here! It lines up on Firefox, but not on Falkon. Falkon shows the infobox as narrower than the two images, which is odd as it Falkon is "built on the Qt WebEngine which is a wrapper for the Chromium browser core", so ypu think it woukld render like Chrome! I guess the lesson here is to check several browsers when this comes up in the future! - Ahunt (talk) 16:36, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
Change the name of: Ixquick by StartPage[edit]
Good morning. I think that you should change the name of: Ixquick by StartPage. Since the name of: Ixquick is out of date. The updated name is: StartPage. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Notewiki2000 (talk • contribs) 05:50, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Interesting that you should bring this up, we are having a discussion on that that subject at Talk:Ixquick#Requested_move_27_October_2018. If you want to add your views there it would help us establish a consensus. - Ahunt (talk) 11:17, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Dead link on your userpage, but I found you an archive[edit]
I pulled up the two articles that you link to to encourage people to have references on wikipedia and one of them 404ed, so I found you a new link: https://web.archive.org/web/20100425165517/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/judges-rap-wiki-evidence-in-immigration-cases/article1542565/ 🙅🙅🙅ShAsHi SuShIlA mUrRaY😣😣😣 02:46, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 10[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited ICON Aircraft, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page COO (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:12, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
Photo request petition - please sign[edit]
Hi Ahunt! Can you please sign the petition to TASS and RIAN requesting them to release certain historic photos (many of them from WWII) for Wikimedia by adding your signature to the signature section? Also, please do spread the word to other Wikipedians. Thanks, - Samf4u (talk) 14:13, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- It is a good idea, but I have to admit that I don't read enough Russian to figure out the buttons on the page. I messed about with it for the last few minutes and couldn't figure it out. Is there somewhere to sign this in English? - Ahunt (talk) 15:05, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- Took me a while to figure it too. Near the bottom of the page next to the heading "Signatures" is 2 buttons in Russian. Click the right one, go to the bottom and below my signature add this: --Ahunt then sign with 4 ~ Leave an edit summary you know where and click the blue box to Publish Changes. Samf4u (talk) 16:27, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
THANK YOU!![edit]

Aeroflot Flight 821[edit]
Hello again Ahunt, I'd like to ask you about the summary of Aeroflot Flight 821. The edits I usually make on summarized accidents are the initial cause such as software malfunction and leading up causes such as loss of control or spatial disorientation. Anyways the pilot (captain) of Aeroflot Flight 821 had a high blood alcohol level (intoxicated) when flying the aircraft and I was asking if you could mention about the pilot being intoxicated when flying the aircraft in the summary? OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 15:34, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your question. The article states "Forensic examination found an unspecified amount of alcohol in the captain's tissue", so it does not seem to have been determined that this was a major cause factor. On that basis I wouldn't put it in the infobox. It is already mentioned in the lead section, though. - Ahunt (talk) 15:42, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
