Blohm & Voss BV 142

I've had a quick look at the article and its pretty much perfect. I speak german too and the translation looks quite good. There's always a need for people willing to translate articles; in fact there is a page with a list of requests: Wikipedia:Translation into English. It's certainly much better than most people's first articles, mine included! There were one or two minor changes that needed to be made to the format - there's no need to make a link for section headings, for example - but these were all very small.

In answer to your questions:

1. To create a link to an article in another language, add the country code and the article name in this format: ''country code'':''article name'' - for example [[de:Blohm & Voss BV 142]] . Put that at the bottom of the page.

2. Image uploading is quite complex, but a guide can be found here. This page deals more specifically with the 'copyright tags'.

The other important thing that you should note is that comments on talk pages should be signed. This can be done using four 'tides' like this - ~~~~ .

I'm surprised at how good the article was, to be honest, if this is your first time using a Wikipedia then you've picked up the basics extremely quickly! Robdurbar 21:25, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the last section of the page too. In general, content shouldn't really be in two articles at once. It's not really a big problem, but avoids too much repition. A 'see also' section is usually put at the end to direct users to related pages. Robdurbar 21:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

F.222

You are correct, the vast majority of websites on the Internet operate either under Fair Use or flagrant copyright violations. Putting a "copyright" noticed at the bottom of the webpage does not give one ownership of an image. - Emt147 ^Burninate! 05:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image requests

Hi Diego - I notice that you seem to have a lot of photos from the Museo del Aire. I wonder whether you have a picture (or could take one) of the Aerotécnica AC-12 and Aerotécnica AC-14 helicopters there? Cheers --Rlandmann 01:05, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your offer to help! The only other aircraft there that I know that we need soon is the CASA C.207 parked outside. --Rlandmann 01:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting these pictures! I haven't started work on the C.207 article yet, so please feel free to create one if you like. --Rlandmann 23:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for the AC-12 - because these articles are so short, I will probably trim down the photos when I get time. Also - did you actually do the drawings of these two aircraft yourself? If not, we can't use them under the GFDL.... Cheers --Rlandmann 00:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A mystery

Hi again Diego - I wonder if you or the Museum have any information on the CASA C-112? (Different, of course, from the C-212!!!) This was a side-by-side primary trainer in development at some time (definitely before the 1980s). I think the project must have been abandoned, because I can find no trace of it now. If you can find out anything, I'd love to hear about it! --Rlandmann 02:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful speedy work on the outlines of the helicopters! Amazing! Thanks for offering to check out my mystery - there is no hurry - just whenever you have the opportunity. And no, it's not the Ha.1112 unfortunately. All I know is that it was a basic trainer and that the student and instructor sat side-by-side --Rlandmann 04:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gliders and Gliding

In an effort to streamline the subprojects of aviation, and given the fact that the Glider task force has four members and a total of 51 articles tagged under its scope and the Gliding project has 7 and 56, I'd like to mere the Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Glider task force and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Gliding into one project, Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Gliding task force. Any objections? - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 19:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting opportunity to get involved!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis ^contribs 00:10, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Farman F.222.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Farman F.222.jpeg. 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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Farman F.222.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Farman F.222.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:UNIT

Hello @Diego Dabrio: having just edited one of your articles I see that you have placed horsepower or PS ahead of kW in articles. The manual of style states: Quantities are typically expressed using an appropriate "primary unit", displayed first, followed, when appropriate, by a conversion in parentheses e.g. 200 kilometres (120 mi). With the exception of strong national ties to the UK or the US, The manual of Style further states: In all other articles, the primary units chosen will be SI units, non-SI units officially accepted for use with the SI, etc. All of this can be found in the Manual of Style - Unit section (MOS:UNIT). I'm going to be editing some of your articles with no national ties to the US or UK to the correct Wikipedia format. Avi8tor (talk) 15:31, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
