July 18

[edit]

Hi! There is no article about animal wheelchair on Wikipedia. Maybe someone could create one ;) 203.111.224.69 (talk) 05:47, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe you could add some information to the existing article. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots05:59, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We have an article about a company that makes them for dogs (Walkin' Wheels) but I'm surprised we don't have a general article on the topic. This, however, is not the proper venue for suggesting such. Please see WP:Requested articles and/or WP:Articles for creation for further help. You will likely also find that they are much more friendly to newcomers than some of the people who frequent this Desk.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 06:45, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • That someone, @203.111.224.69:, is you. See WP:BOLD. Nothing at Wikipedia ever gets done unless people who care do it. Since you care, there is no one better to do it than you. Just create an account (it's free and takes about 30 seconds) and create the article yourself. WP:YFA explains how to do it. --Jayron32 03:14, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can a KC-135 be called a Boeing 707.

[edit]

The KC-135 was built parallel to the 707, but they are still similar. So, is it ok to call the KC-135 a Boeing 707? D.M. Krol (talk) 19:46, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

is it ok in what context? AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:49, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, because they aren't the same thing. Our article on the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker are pretty clear that the two craft are different, functionally and structurally. The KC-135 is both shorter and narrower, for example. They are not interchangeable. Mingmingla (talk) 19:58, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
