[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte has been reverted.
Your edit here to Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/mauspic/ratte100.jpg) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 15:02, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

KV-4
[edit]I've responded to your question here on my talk page. To add to what Bushranger said, while in Computer games (and the like) certain aircraft or vehicles mahave a high profile - these appearances are generally never significant enough to merit mention in the article about the vehicle.

Civilization V: Brave New World
[edit]
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Civilization V: Brave New World. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
This is what a Civ V expansion article should look like: Civilization V: Gods & Kings. Not the collection of lists you keep inserting. This is an encyclopaedia not a gaming fan site. -Oosh (talk) 00:18, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Before Common Era / Before Christ
[edit]Hi GMRE,
As per WP:ERA I reckon we should stick with BCE in the article on Maya Devi Temple, Lumbini. See the talk page for discussion. Thanks. PhilMacD (talk) 18:05, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
Broforce and Angry Joe
[edit]Re: So Angry Joe isn't a reliable source for what Angry Joe has said? In short, no. If the article was about AJ and you wanted a self-published source on what AJ said, it could work, but as secondary source commentary about Broforce (e.g., giving it a score), Angry Joe is not a reliable source since the source has not shown editorial oversight. Feel free to argue it further at WP:VG/RS if you'd like, but please revert your edit for now. In the future, when you disagree, editors typically bring the proposed edit to the article's talk page instead of reverting the first revert. czar ♔ 19:35, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Prototype
[edit]You had removed this entry under the consideration that it was "something that's already established by the opening sentence of the article":
Prototype, any real object, system, business, etc. used as a basis for a model, especially in the hobby of model railroading
My reason for adding the item is because (1) it is a fundamental term in modeling hobbies and (2) to my mind its meaning is not actually covered in the opening sentence and, in general, actually the opposite of the sense of the other entries. Perhaps you can help me make the entry reflect this important sense that is presently missing in the list with the link to the article. From eBay "A Model Railroader's Glossary of Common Terminology":
Prototype - The actual subject upon which a model or replica is based.
In engineering, etc, prototyping is the process of making models of something that will or might be made real, but in modeling hobbies, prototype is the "real thing" (sometimes referred to as 1:1 scale) that is being modeled. The real box car is referred to as the prototype of the model boxcar meant to represent; yes, the model boxcar is "something that is representative of a category of things", but within the hobby it is the "category of things represented" that is called the prototype, not thing (model) that represents them. The term is so fundamental you see it used in glossaries without definition, it is used in this sense without definition multiply in the linked article. Perhaps it is just a word twist I am hanging up on here, I may be wrong there, but I don't think so. In engineering, we make prototype models to represent something were are planning on making real version of, in software engineering, we make classes as prototypes for instances of objects; but in model railroading, I suppose the prototype trains are the models for the "real" model toys we make. But, in engineering, the design models we make of real things we call prototypes; but in model railroading, the models we make of real things we do not call prototypes. IveGoneAway (talk) 13:04, 13 April 2015 (UTC) 14:58, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
- More to the point:
- Engineering: prototype is the model of the thing
- Model hobbies: prototype is the thing being modeled
- I've also done some model building and I've never head someone use that word in this context. Also, the wording seemed suspicious. In this full explanation it makes much more sense. I'll put it back. GMRE (talk) 20:29, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
