WikiProject: Aircraft
Hey, A75. I see you editing a lot of pages on Wikipedia that are a lot of the same pages I am working on. I was wondering if you were aware of the WikiProject Aircraft and the basic standards they have for aircraft articles and layouts. I remember that you said you are a fan of Aviation (on my "Talk" page) and would like to see you become a part of this team. It may also help you avoid conflicts with other editors on Wikipedia. (Born2flie 23:29, 15 September 2006 (UTC))


 * A75, I apologize for any disagreement I had with you. Like the Pirate Code in Pirates of the Carribean the WP:Air guidelines aren't really guidelines but rather ideas on how it "could" be if you have no ideas of your own. You have ideas, so those guidelines aren't really applicable to you. Again, I apologize for discouraging you. (Born2flie 15:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC))


 * Thanks, hey dont worry about it. I appreciate the thought though, wiki is quite a wild place. A75 16:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

List of military aircraft of the United States
Hello A75. I was the person who made some changes, including those about the T-48 to -50, to that article under anonymous IP 213.61.105.154. My primary source for these (and other) U.S. military designations are official nomenclature records of the US Department of Defense. My website is http://www.designation-systems.net/ (which has been listed for some time as an external source for the Wiki article) has some pages about new or "unknown" designations.

X-35 page
Good work on starting the X-35 page. I also have a version on Talk:Lockheed Martin X-35 that I have been working on, and I merged a few section together. The text on the talk page is wholesale from the F-35 page, but I included most of the development of the X-35 and JSF program from the F-35, with theintent of taking those parts out of the F-35 article, to allow it to concentrate on the fight itself. Feel free to chnage anyhting on the regular X-35 back to the way you had it. I adjusted the pics, but until we add more text, the placemant won't be right.

I am going to try to ubdate the specs to the aero-specs template. I need to know your source for your specs so I can include it in the template. Thanks. - BillCJ 23:52, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I only noticed the prior discussions about forking afterword- I see great wiki-minds think alike! I look forward to seeing new content onto the (currently) basic X-35 content. I think your additions are great- as for the specs, they are from a older (wiki) F-35 article so you might want to just start over. A75 20:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Japanese
Per all the JSDF links in Japanese you posted on the F-2, do you read Japanese? - BillCJ 04:19, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

T2V SeaStar
Just curious as to why you moved the page to T-1 SeaStar. GIven tha the aircraft left front-line carrier service in 1960, isn't it more appropriate to cover in under that designation? The fact that the Jayhawk is also a T-1 also agues in favor of using the unique designation. You can discuss on the Talk:T-1 Seastar if you'd like, but I thought I'd try a personal message first. Not trying to be argumentative here, just interested in your reasons, as they my be better thatn mine! - BillCJ 22:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Based it on total career time. A75 23:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I should add, either name (for the page) is fine with me. A75 12:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Century Series
Your change to the opening paragraph seems to be saying that "Century Series" is a generic term for any series of similar U.S. combat aircraft, not just specifically the F-100 to 106. In particular, the phrasing "stems from" indicates that the original meaning gave way to a different current meaning.

Is this so? I've never heard the term applied to anything but the original. If Century Series has been applied to other group, are there any examples? Otherwise, I think the original introduction is more concise and clearer. -- Paul Richter 07:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Helicopter template
Hi A75 - The template you've been altering is part of an group of templates that WikiProject Aircraft uses to provide navigation within designation sequences. The changes you are making are at odds with how these templates are organised. If you'd like to suggest some changes, you should first look here under "5.1 Designation Sequence Footers", and then take the matter up on the project's talk page. Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 23:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will leave that project stuff up to you though- I can only comment on what know about the designation systems. I am sorry for the stir, I have left my reasons on the template page there. Thanks for the feedback though. A75 (talk) 23:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. No-one's going to have a problem with you correcting links; but the Army and Navy sequences and the tri-service sequence all have their own templates since they're distinct from the US(A)AF designations, so these need to be removed. There's also no need to separate the R- and H- sequences, any more than we separate the fighter P- and F- sequences. --Rlandmann (talk) 23:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok I had a look at those table, it is quite confusing mess there! I think what I am proposing is having 1 template for the three, or at least correcting the sequences. For instance the under the 1962 Tri-Service system, there not 6 designations, but rather the 1962 redesignations, plus dozens more! A75 (talk) 23:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah I see what your getting at. Think about this though, not all of R series were redesignated with H, so it makes it easier to see which ones were. But it gets even more important for the 1962 Designations, because those follow a different designation format as well, and the USAF series ends at 43. So with this table, for something like the UH-1, then XH-40, HU-1, and UH-1 can all be blacked out and see at once on the same template. A75 (talk) 23:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

There's simply no need to combine the three, since there's no limit to the number of templates that can be applied to the one article, allowing the reader to expand or collapse as many (or as few) as they're interested in. Point taken about the tri-service designations; but each template should only show a distinct numerical sequence. --Rlandmann (talk) 23:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok fair enough, I will just work on each template then, so it has the correct sequence for its designation system. Thanks again. 00:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I sense that you are perhaps misunderstanding what the templates are intended to illustrate; which is the numerical sequence that the particular aircraft belongs in. They are not intended (demonstrably) to represent every designation issued under the system; they are intended to answer "if this is the FOO-4, then what were the FOO-3 and FOO-5??" Rather than altering templates so that they no longer match how the rest of our content is organised, a better solution would be for you to come up with better titles for the templates that you feel are problematic. --Rlandmann (talk) 00:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I am actually pretty happy right now! I can see your point about the standards. For instance I agree the three templates allow more flexiblity, and the R/F thing I can live with. The only thing I would like to see is the USAF series end at 43, due that being the last USAF designation and because the 1962 series have a different format. Its not very well known, but the 1962 helicopters series are supposed to have the modified mission prefix! Either way, I want to say thanks for taking the time to explain your position and having a discussion about this. A75 (talk) 00:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I am also warning you that you are now in violation of the Three-revert rule and may be blocked. I am requesting that you restore the USAF helicopters template to the state it was in before you last edited it, or better still, restore the sequence to how it was, but add a more accurate title to the template. --Rlandmann (talk) 00:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will try to fix this! A75 (talk) 00:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - and no arguments here about the inclusion of the MM prefix. Perhaps US helicopters is better titled something like "Helicopters redesignated under the 1962 tri-service designation system"? --Rlandmann (talk) 00:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I am a bit worried I will fix the wrong thing so here is what I will try to do. Right now, there is only 2 main changes- The "USAF template" goes up to 43, and the template "US helicopters" includes the Joint service designations past 43 plus the redesignation, plus new designations (such as those helicopters). If I understand you right, you want the post 1962 designations to continue on the USAF 1941-1962 template, so people can see the numbers (past 42)(and then make the titles fit). Ok, I will see if I can manage this! Thanks again for helping me work this out. A75 (talk) 00:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yep - that's about it! USAF helicopters should show (only) the sequence running from R-1 through to UH-72, and US helicopters (only) the sequence from AH-1/UH-1 through to OH-6; with whatever template titles and other explanatory notes you think will help. And it's no problem - thank you for your willingness to jump in and straighten out the MM- prefixes, and more, generally, improve these templates! --Rlandmann (talk) 01:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you, unfortunately I think I only managed part of it. I don't know how to do the second one, because 1-6 were not the only redesignations (check out (http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/1962redesignations.html). See, if I just have 1-6 it is not all the Navy or Army redesignations, but it is also not a new sequence either. The later numbers such as 13, 21, etc. were also redesignations, but any new helos were added on the end of the sequence (e.g 71, 72,..). So it won't make sense as a counting sequence (e.g. foo-1 foo-2), and it won't be all the redesignations either! The only solution I have so far is to leave 1-6 redesignations on the first template, and all the 1962 redesignations plus 46 and up on the second. Either we have really weird title, and exclude a few redesignations or think of something else. A75 (talk) 02:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Much better now! A few more nits on USAF helicopters:


 * 1) The closing note is superfluous: USN fighters doesn't point out that USAAC/USAAF/USAF fighters aren't included. The title you've supplied is quite explicit that these are only "air force" and tri-service designations; there really is no confusion here.
 * 2) The template still includes the AH-1/UH-1 through OH-6; so when you remove them, a better use of that closing note would be to revise it to say something like "those aircraft that received a redesignation in 1962 are not included". You can even link directly to the other template with Template:US helicopters rather than just to the article on the designation system if you like. --Rlandmann (talk) 01:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, I think I'll just take out that extra note on the first one and I like that idea of linking to the other template. However, I have not figured out how to handle 1-6 yet (check out other reply). Cheers. A75 (talk) 02:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I had the wrong link, is the one I meant. In the meantime I tried out that template link (looks pretty good!) A75 (talk) 02:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Simple: the AH-1/UH-1 through OH-6 designations were all-new designations created in 1962 to replace existing Army and Navy designations, as opposed to attaching a prefix to an existing Air Force designation. Actually, the more we talk about it, the more convinced I am that your approach is a better way to handle this. I'll modify the template a little - let me know what you think? --Rlandmann (talk) 03:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Problem there is that UH-1 to OH-6 were not the only all new designations either, the CH-46, CH-47, CH-48, CH-50 were also all-new redesignations (using new numbers as well as letters). A75 (talk) 03:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Better? I'm not married to the wording, but I think it gets the idea across - feel free to improve. --Rlandmann (talk) 04:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think we are headed in the right direction;I will take another crack at it. I need to fix the matter of the CH-46,47,etc. also being all-new designations, but I don't want move them so I think I may try a different split up. Here goes nothing! Cheers A75 (talk) 04:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I gave up trying to find a way to isolate the 1-6 and put the break between the joint service system and the old usaf ones. It loses some continuity, but it allows all the new designations to fit. Im going to take a break from this for a bit. Thanks again and good luck. A75 (talk) 05:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have left a message on the template talk about modified mission prefixes and why I think it is confusing to the user. MilborneOne (talk) 09:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Pearl and Hermes Atoll
Hi, I'm sorry to do this, but I intend to revert the changes you've made to the article today. The images you've substituted for the ones I placed are less informative/less clear than the originals (particularly the black-footed albatross and monk seal photos), and the sections you've added about red algae and the list of islets are redundant to information already in the article. If you intend to make more significant changes to the article, can we please discuss them first? &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:18, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I replaced them with actual images from the Pearl and Hermes atoll, whereas the previous images are from other places. A75 (talk) 20:21, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but they are less clear images of the specific animals in question, which is more important. We are not showing the user the scenery, we are showing them what the plants and animals look like. Lepidium bidentatum isn't mentioned in the text, but you're including a photo of it, which is confusing to the reader. If you have sourced content that discusses Lepidium bidentatum on the island, you should include it, and then we can discuss changing the image.

Recent Pacific Island contributions
Hi A75! I appreciate your recent contributions to articles about U.S. Pacific island territories. You seem to have a great passion for the subject. I have a couple of suggestions that might help improve your contributions in the future. I noticed that you provide references as Bare URLs. That's generally not the best way to cite sources. Have a look at Help:Referencing for beginners for a few templates you can use to provide a bit more information about the sources you've consulted. Also, please read over your contributions for spelling and grammar. Mistakes happen, but I've noticed that your contributions tend to have a high volume of misspellings and missing words. Leaving those errors makes more work for other people, so please try to proofread your work and correct mistakes before you move on to other articles. Thank again for having so much interest in the Pacific islands topic space. Happy editing! CoatGuy2 (talk) 18:08, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for stoping by, I will try to make some corrections later but it takes time hopefully the major issues can get sorted out in time. A75 (talk) 18:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Remember: There's WP:NOHURRY here at the Wikipedia. Taking time to ensure the quality of the text, including all words spelled correctly, when you write it the first time, will make for a higher-quality result and less work left for other editors.

Typos
Please slow down and check your content before saving. You are leaving way too many typos in articles you work on, particularly Wake Island. At some point, because editors get tired of having to do massive cleanups of others' work, they may begin starting discussions to remove your editing privileges. I asked nicely before, and now I'm insisting. Check your work before saving. And please read WP:CIR. Stefen Towers among the rest!  Gab • Gruntwerk 01:25, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes I have added a spell checker, but it does not always work on the large sections. I will take recommendations, I notice a lot use automated tools to fix things like this, part of the problem is I have to use either the edit source or the visual editor, but not all my automated tools work on both. The spell check does not work in the visual editor to add references, and the spell checker has to use small sections of the other one but does not have the automated reference. There is no need for others to jump in so quickly, part of how I ended up with so many edits is I have gone back to try to find spelling errors or wordings already. There is another issue is that many of the articles have glaring omissions of facts, which triggers the cycle anew. I think it is going to be possible to address these issues, as I have already been trying to get the typos under control. I will give the article a break for sure, unless it is a simple typo or image for example. A75 (talk) 12:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * OK I checked the article and I see, I would have corrected those spelling errors In the new section, I simply ran out of time. However, your note for "Clarify" I dont understand. It is clearly referring to the submarine Triton, which is described just a couple sentences prior. The Triton and Tambor were two submarines on patrol near Wake. I would also make a counter request, that from time to time add more content to the articles. One reason I was even editing is that many articles are extremely incomplete and have factual errors. For example, the article on the Wake rail, has for over a decade said there is no Rails on Peale, but there is even photos of them living on Peale. Thanks for your communications and corrections of course, and I am fine listening to some friendly advice. A75 (talk) 12:49, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (second request)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Amelia Earhart into Howland Island. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:07, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Broken link
Hey A75, can you double check the link you added here? I'm getting an error. Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 13:09, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The original link is ok but the automatic citation generator makes a broke link. The original source was here https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/museums/nmusn/explore/photography/wwii/wwii-pacific/us-entry-into-wwii-japanese-offensive/1941-december-8-capture-uss-wake.html I just used a different source, as its a common fact about these two ships. A75 (talk) 14:25, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Huh, I wonder why that happened. I always just type in the citation templates manually, but I've been doing it for 15+ years so it's second nature to me. Thanks for taking a look! Parsecboy (talk) 14:31, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
