Review of Gliding
Hi. As someone with an interest in Gliding would you review the article? I am trying to get it up to featured article standard. Any thoughts gratefully received. JMcC 11:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Since it is a part of aviation history per your comments, then it should be in Category:Aviation history. I have moved it there. Vegaswikian 21:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  00:21, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

The La Brea Tar Pits of Wikipedia
I got a chuckle out of your description (title of this section) of the Douglas MacArthur article. I remember first reading this article several years ago and being totally unimpressed with it. I tried to make a change or two (with citations), but these were reverted. Since then I have avoided even looking at this article so as to prevent getting my blood pressure up. Today, for whatever reason (perhaps too much time on my hands), I decided to look at the discussion page to see if anything of interest had been added. Often, I find the discussion pages of more interest than the articles. Ever read The Ghost Mountain Boys by James Campbell? It has some more dirt on MacArthur from the New Guinea campaign. Thomas R.

Hi there. I noticed this article pop up as a DYK nom and decided to have a look, as I've been involved in a great many Australian military aviation biographies here on Wikipedia. There are a lot of style issues with the article at the moment. I can see you've expanded it to a useful degree lately so I don't want to appear to try and take it over, but are you cool with me just going ahead and improving it? Probably be quicker than going through everything on talk or some such. Frankly I wouldn't pass it for DYK as it is but, with a bit of work, I think it could not only achieve that but also be assessed as a B-Class article. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:18, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi again -- I've heavily copyedited for style and added a good deal more material that was at hand. With that in mind I was planning to put it up for MilHist B-Class assessment as a joint effort, unless you wanted to discuss or tweak anything. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 15:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, Lexysexy had a look and picked up a couple of typos on my part, so I've gone and put it up for assessment per above. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 02:08, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Peter Isaacson GAN
Hi mate, in case you weren't aware, someone has nominated this for GA. I'd intended to do so after fleshing out the later life section with some dates, as we discussed on my talk page, and after discussing with you, but there it is. Anyway, I've left a note for the reviewer who's just picked it up, and will hopefully be able to improve it still further in the next couple of days. Pls feel free to chime in at the review page. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:57, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Update: have got all the details from Who's Who, lots of dates and directorships, which I'll review and add as I think useful; already added in RAAF Reserve unit and ADC dates, the rest will do later tonight. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 04:54, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, added/updated what I think is worthwhile. There were other dates/positions but none notable in WP terms, and I didn't want to just rehash his resume from Who's Who. I think it's fine to submit to the GA review now but if you have some more to add, pls do so -- IMO, however, we should try and let our GA reviewer loose on it ASAP so things don't drag... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:17, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Richard, if I don't hear from you tonight, I think I'd better ask the GAN reviewer to go ahead. I'm confident it'll pass as is, and we can always expand it further afterwards with any info you find, or even get hold of his biography and go for broke with MilHist A-Class Review and then perhaps FAC.
