Range and Direction Finding (RDF)

I don't see what this new article adds to the information already at History of radar. "Range and Direction Finding" was just a code name for the airforce project that became RADAR; why does it need a separate article written about it? I suggest it would be better moved to Range and Direction Finding as a redirect to History of radar. Fences&Windows 23:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From the author: In many existing web pages (Wikipedia and others), there are references to the early British 'radar' systems being called RDF. With no further explanation, most readers would automatically think that this was for Radio Direction Finding. I am trying to provide a place that could be reached easily that corrects this. Raymond C. Watson, Jr. (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History of radar

The article is at 221,708 bytes (and counting?). It looks like a good article. Have you considered splitting some of the sections off to create other articles? You added a lot of material in a relatively short amount of time - which is good. Good job anyway. ----Steve Quinn (formerly Ti-30X) (talk) 06:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks

I don't understand why you delinked Russian Physical and Chemical Society at Alexander Stepanovich Popov so I have restored it. It is perfectly ok to have redlinks in articles, it means we think that an article ought to be written at that title some time in the future. My apologies if you really did have good reason to remove it, but please, next time, state the reason in the edit summary. Thanks, SpinningSpark 10:12, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Rocket City Space Pioneers Logo Vector CMYK.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Rocket City Space Pioneers Logo Vector CMYK.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Henry Earl Singleton

The existing (prior to 13 June 2011) article on Henry Earl Singleton contained far too many factual errors, incorrect information, general omissions, and missing references to be corrected by the normal process. I have, therefore, prepared and inserted a totally new article. Dr. Singleton was one of the most notable Americans of the 20th century, but none of the existing material conveys this fact. 22:45, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

July 2011

Hello Raymond C. Watson, Jr.. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Teledyne Brown Engineering, you may have a conflict of interest, or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. RadioFan (talk) 18:07, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correction to Teledyne Brown Engineering

The page is now correctly listed at WP:RM which you incorrectly attempted to do. I suspect that the page may have some issues that will need to be addressed based on the comments so far concerning your move request. An administrator will decide after a week or so if the move is warranted, based on the discussion of your request. Decisions are based on consensus of all of the editors involved.

Wolfgang Martini

Hello Raymond C. Watson, i'd found the a.m. article created by you and tried a translation to the german WP. Later on i found Wolfgang Martini been mentioned within the Neue Deutsche Biographie (here or there), which is regarded as reliable within community of german WP authors, many german WP biographies rely on it. The NDB's author describes Martini's after-war-career as an employee of C. Lorenz, not mentioning the fact, that you'd described in your article as Martini returned to high positions with the new Air Force in 1956, and later with NATO. So i would like to ask you, where you found his Luftwaffe or NATO-service mentioned, which doesn't show up in the NDB-article? By the way, he would have started his new military career aged about 65 years, which i wouldn't regard as impossible, but not too probable. --MachtaUnix (talk) 17:16, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your additions and corrections, it makes Martinis life a little bit less mysterious. i'll insert them in the german wp. It seem's allways to be an advantage, if one has good written sources accessable :-)). --MachtaUnix (talk) 15:09, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Wallace E. Kirkpatrick

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Wallace E. Kirkpatrick, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
