Advice
While your contributions are certainly welcome and encouraged, a little greater effort to follow some of the various style guidelines could allow your contributions to be a lot more valuable. Spend some time reading through the links above. In general, I see too much of a conversational tone int he additions to radio controlled airplane, too much use of you (an encyclopedia shouldn't refer to the reader, and a bit too much enthusiastice writing (see the WP:NPOV policy), and finally not citing sources from good research (important for Wikipedia's credibility and verifiability). So I'm certainly not the policy expert, but some improvements in those areas will certainly make your contributions more useful. Thanks, and hopefully that's encouraging like I meant it, not discouraging. - Taxman Talk 20:10, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
