3rd party opinion request
Hey Dave, there's a debate here on the Talk:Chengdu J-20 page as to whether or not it is a 'purported' or actual 5th-generation stealth fighter. The citation numerous authors have used seems to be unclear on this and I'm concerned 'purported' is a weasel word. I don't want to run afoul of 3RR, so please check in, thanks. If you find purported to be a weasel word, feel free to edit it out of the first sentence on the Chengdu J-20 page. Lostromantic (talk) 07:37, 9 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Please use the talk page to discuss and to be frank, I'm against the whole idea of 3rd/4th/5th generation aircraft thingie. Peace, out. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 06:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Reality check
Actually mate the IP was right. Great Britain is the largest island in the British Isles. The correct name for the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. GB is used, wrongly as it happens, to be synonymous with the UK. Just as England is also, wrongly, used. See the wee sassenachs dinnae knae any better.

Soltam M-66
Dave at first i too thought that vafa is a copy of soltam so it was me who originally added that section to soltam m66 article but after closer examination it become clear for me that vafa is not a copy of m66 for example m66 is a smoothbore mortar while Vafa is not   and also there is no source that indicate that vafa is a copy of soltam or even that iran received m66 from any countryFarzam1370 (talk) 21:13, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Sanity Check
First of all we have citation bombing, then you add the citations, then it isn't in the citation, so you add a quote to show it is, then they retag it claiming it isn't, add a shedload more citations, now they're saying the citations ain't good enough as only 2 are used (which is BS btw). Please tell me I'm insane and its all in my imagination, they're really good boys and just want to improve the article. WP:POINT or insanity? Wee Curry Monster talk 23:50, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I didn't noticed this until now. Take it easy, bro... not worth pulling your hair over it. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 18:59, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Bye
You're too good for this place, I wish you well old friend. Wee Curry Monster talk 18:46, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Bro, that haggis isn't worth your attention, find better fish to fry and take a short break while you're at it. Please believe in karma, because what goes around will come around eventually, whether he likes it or not. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 18:59, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!
I wasn't too bothered, but thanks for coming and fixing it. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 20:54, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

If you do more than just revert vandalism mention what you've done in the edit summary, or the changes you make might be seen as a sneaky form of vandalism. Thomas.W (talk) 06:55, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Whatever, next time when you're in doubt, please ask first. FYI, I'm not a newbie but a real human being, I can't be always up to date with things, especially when I'm in a hurry. And you obviously need friends here to help you, not making enemies by slyly implying that they are vandals. So, if you have nothing good to say, say nothing! -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 07:05, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
