Monocopter
Hi and thanks for the great article! I've just done a little bit of cleaning-up and Wikification of it. Since I presume you're the same Francis Graham whose book and paper are referenced in the article, you might want to take a little time to familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest policy; while I certainly don't see any issue here, it's worth being familiar with the policy to avoid any potential problems in the future.

If you ever find out who designed the VJ-1X, that would be worth adding to the article; as a unique design for a full-size aircraft, it would probably be eligible for an article of its own, if sufficient data could be collected on it. (Models and toys are far less eligible, usually).

If you have any questions or need any help settling in here, please feel free to drop me a note. Cheers! --Rlandmann (talk) 03:27, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I've nominated Monocopter, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know, where you can improve it if you see fit. --​​ ​​D.B. talk • contribs 02:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd just finished working on the Monocopter article when I realized you must be the same Francis Graham mentioned in the references and that you're probably more of an expert on the current state of the art than I am; I was mainly interested in Papin and Pouilly's Gyroptère.
