Sink that Bismarck!
Thanks, but it was largely your work: Yeah, that to-do list didn't go down well did it :). I've made a note on the talk page because I still think the accuracy section needs some work. The war films task force was promoting this article as being in need of citation, which was how I originally came across it. I can probably take it down from there though as you quickly covered that issue. Thanks again.--Skittles the hog (talk) 17:41, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Capitalization
I would be pleased to edit according to any style guide that allows "Navy" to be treated as a proper noun when it stands alone. Can you find one for me? I am eager to be corrected. If not, I propose we write in standard English for the sake of clarity. Could we talk about this on the osprey talk page? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 15:18, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Main page appearance: McDonnell XF-85 Goblin
This is a note to let the main editors of McDonnell XF-85 Goblin know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 6, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/December 6, 2011. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director or his delegate, or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:



The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin was an American prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II by McDonnell Aircraft. It was intended to be carried in and deployed from the bomb bay of the giant Convair B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. The XF-85's intended role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptors, a need demonstrated during World War II. Two prototypes were constructed before the program was terminated. The XF-85 was a response to a United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) requirement for a fighter to be carried within the Northrop XB-35 and B-36, then under development. This was to address the limited range of existing interceptor aircraft compared to the greater range of new bomber designs. The XF-85 was a diminutive jet aircraft featuring a distinctive egg-shaped fuselage and a forked-tail stabilizer design. The prototypes were built and underwent testing and evaluation in 1948. Flight tests showed promise in the design, but the aircraft's performance was inferior to the jet fighters it would have been facing in combat, and there were difficulties in docking. The XF-85 was swiftly canceled, and the prototypes were thereafter relegated to museum exhibits. (more...) UcuchaBot (talk) 00:02, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Stable Version
As you are listed as one of the main editors of McDonnell_XF-85_Goblin, I wanted to let you know about a new template that was added to the talk page. The stable version template is used to mark a stable version of the article, as a measure that combats edit rot, the deterioration of formerly good articles after they stop being supported, and is as well an option for people to access a version of the page that is less likely to be plagued by vandalism and other problems. Feel free to check it out on the template page. This does not change how the article itself is viewed or edited, and as the article evolves and things change, the stable version may of course be updated by simply replacing the permanent link in the template (it is stable, but not fixed). Congratulations on making the front page! Falconus p t   c 19:10, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

JULY 1943 KILLS very unaccurate
Dear Bzulk, kak delà? :) I think that the table with the kills of Litvyak should be deeply corrected if not deleted at all. I have just published today the most updated book about Soviet airwomen, with the newest and unpublished data and information about Litvyak available on the market. There is absolutely - for instance - no evidence that Litvyak on 16 july shot down a German ace. That day the Luftwaffe Experten listed in the table belly landed for an engine failure subsequently an air fight. Now, this is NOT a kill. Moreover, there is only one source - Pennington, pag. 140 - that states that Litvyak that day scored a kill, while Cottam (Women in War and Resistence) writes that Litvyak that day had just to belly land. But there is absolutely no proof that anyway the German ace was hit by Litvyak, as there is not known any claims record on Litvyak side where is noted exactly the Planquadrat Koordinaten or the exact point of any of her air victory. Still, on 1st of August 1943, the Jagdeschwaders engaged along the Mius front had not aircraft damaged and Litvyak was not the one who "taran"ned Merkle, as no one of the witness saw and says that. So I propose to delete those unaccurate credited victories. --Gian piero milanetti (talk) 20:10, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Your File:North American XF-108-Rapier.jpg appearing on flickr...
Hi Bzuk; over in the German-language Wikipedia, a user noticed that this file is available here and on flickr with differing licenses and by apparently different uploaders, see there (in German, of course ;-) ). Here on Commons it's uploaded as your own work with a CC-zero license; on flickr, a certain james_gordon_los_angeles (a photographer from Washington DC, according to his profile) uploaded it using the restrictive CC BY-NC 2.0 license: http://www.flickr.com/photos/james_gordon_los_angeles/6473868677/ (so it seems to me that he claims to be the creator of the image, and, according to this license, would require attribution and only non-commercial use). I therefore suppose that james_gordon_los_angeles took the image from you, as your original upload in the English Wikipedia was on September 24, and james_gordon_los_angeles uploaded the image on flickr on December 7. As you licensed it under CC-0, of course everyone may use it freely and without attribution, but the flickr uploader wouldn't be entitled to tag it with a more restrictive license himself, I'd say.
