Draft:Aerocon Dash 1.6 wingship
Hi, do you intend to add anymore information to Draft:Aerocon Dash 1.6 wingship? I believe the subject is notable enough for an aircraft article, but wanted to see if you had any more work left to do on it. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 21:10, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi BilCat,

Plenty more that needs to be added, but it'll take more research, and I won't be able to get to it for awhile. I think it can go live in its current state, though. I never did find out why it was rejected - my guess is that the "Dash 1.6" part of the vehicle name only appears in the DARPA report and not in any news articles.

Thanks for the barnstar! D271l (talk) 21:26, 23 March 2019 (UTC)


 * You've welcome. As to why it was rejected, the best thing to do is to ask the reviewer directly. I've created many aircraft articles, and improved many more, but I don't generally review drafts, as reviewing in general isn't part of my skill set. (I hated book reports in school, and rarely write ever write book and product reviews on Amazon, et al.) I've participated in dozens of Articles for Deletion (AfD) discussions. As such, I have a pretty good idea of what makes a good article, and what articles aren't likely to be kept, though this is mostly instinctive on my part. That said, I'd say the article would probably get taken to AfD in its current form, but is a borderline "Keep" or possible "Delete". A little more work would help make this a firm "Keep". I may ask for some more opinions on it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft (WT:AIR), the talk page for the WikiProject Aircraft (WP:AIR), and see if geteting more editors' eyes on the draft. Hopefully we can move it to mainspace soon. - BilCat (talk) 21:43, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:PW-Allison 578-DX (on MD-80).png
Thank you for uploading File:PW-Allison 578-DX (on MD-80).png. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (User:FastilyBot) 01:01, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay User:FastilyBot, I've added the PD-because template so the file now has banner text This file is in the public domain, because publisher freely authorizes reproduction of unsigned material. This information was in the file summary, so I don't know why it would be deleted. D271l (talk) 04:43, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:PW-Allison 578-DX (on MD-80).png
Thanks for uploading File:PW-Allison 578-DX (on MD-80).png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Pratt & Whitney F401
Hi D271l, I've been impressed with your work on engine articles, especially your ability to find information on obscure engines such as the Pratt & Whitney XT57 and the various UDF propfan articles. Have you ever come across any information on the Pratt & Whitney F401? We currently have it tucked in on the Pratt & Whitney F100, but I'd love to be able to split it off as its own article, like we did with the J57/XT57. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 23:10, 16 August 2021 (UTC) Hi BilCat,

I really don't know anything about supersonic engines, but it looks like US government publications provide decent sources of information on Google Books.



There's also articles from the Aviation Week archive:

Draft:General Electric GE1
Hi, I ran across a draft, Draft:General Electric GE1, which I am trying to improve, if possible. However, I've not been able to find much on it on the internet. Since you've done some good work on the the GE36 articles, among others, do you think anything can be done with this one to improve it? Thanks. BilCat (talk) 04:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi BilCat, there are a couple of formerly classified studies about the GE1 that GE prepared for the Army in 1966 and 1967: Advanced Lift Fan System (LFX) Study and Advanced Lift Fan System (LFX) Study Continuation. I don't know if you would consider those reports to be citable, though. From more conventional sources, the 1970 Aerospace Year Book has a small bit of information, and the Aviation Week magazine archive has several articles from the 1960s (which are unfortunately behind a paywall). D271l (talk) 05:37, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look. Thanks again. BilCat (talk) 06:55, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
