Note: I am implementing the use of synchronised threads on my talkpage, identical to those used by Alphax. To prevent interference with the threads, please post a comment rather than use any other method. To edit the synchronised threads, just use the [ edit ] link at the top of each section. See thread help for more information.  If you wish to thank me for something, I appreciate it greatly. However, I rarely take the time to respond, as I am usually engaged in other activities. My apologies, and you're welcome (in advance).

NO ILLEGAL PHOTOGRAPHY!
Here's that link to the crazy lady freaking out: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-901817593001531987&q=illegal+photography&pl=true She seriously screams for four and half minutes before they shut off the camera. Make sure to keep the speakers/headphone loud to hear what the people in the background are saying. Share with your friends! Useless Fodder 20:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

3-views
Please do not include the template. It's meant as a  only. ericg ✈ 00:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


 * PLEASE STOP. You did not adequately test, and that code (not 300px) is being pasted into the entries you're editing. I'm fixing this with {#if:} now, but hold on until I'm done. I'm having to follow you around and clean up. ericg ✈ 00:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay. Both and {#if:} don't work properly if substituted. They affect the size, but the code remains and it's super sloppy. However, we can't have hundreds of template calls for something as simple as a 3-view image - that'll get the template nazis on our asses again for sure. You'll have to be content with manually controlling the size. I'm removing the size code from the template. ericg ✈ 01:04, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Infobox consensus
I started a consensus thread on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft for the infobox. Please chime in. I also re-nom'ed myself for RfA. - Emt147 Burninate!  17:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Translation of a phrase
You ask if there is a reasonable Latin translation for "People are dumb, persons are smart." Well, that is a terribly subtle turn of phrase, and no immediate equivalent springs to mind. I'm sure something equally clever could be hammered out if I thought about it, but these days I'm not sure I can put enough energy into the task to help you. I will let you know if I come up with anything, and if someone else gives you a translation let me know. --Iustinus 17:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Infobox missile
The output is really messy if you use alt units unless you enforce specific column widths or a very large image. Writing main units (alt units) is a much simpler solution. - Emt147 Burninate!  18:18, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Aircraft specification(s)
AzaToth's bot has been renaming "airtemp" to "aircraft specification" (singular) in the articles. I asked him to hold... is "aircraft specifications" (plural) ready? Can we make the singular a redirect to the plural? You might want to drop him a note on his user talk page. - Emt147 Burninate!  02:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Aircraft infobox
I've reverted your redirect from Aircraft infobox to Infobox aircraft. Please note that the Aircraft infobox template is used as part of the Crash infobox, as seen in Aeromexico Flight 498 and others. There may be multiple aircraft involved in a crash, hence the need for multiple incarnations of the aircraft infobox, rather than just filling in the blanks for one aircraft in the crash template. The emphasis here is on identifying the particular aircraft, including tail number, model, airline etc.

When you made a redirect, it screwed up all the aircraft crash articles. Luckily this was easily fixed. You may wish to check your work if you have done anything similar recently.

Of course, any changes to the crash and aircraft templates to make them better would be appreciated. I whipped them up by copy and paste and bang them into shape, and I'm quite sure that they could be worked on! --Jumbo 04:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thank You!
Thanks Ingoolemo,

I am honored by your support in my recent successful request for adminship. As an administrator, I am your servant, ready to help however I can. (In your case, since you've had the tools longer than I, my best use might be menial labor!) My talk page is always open; should you need anything, or should you see me making a mistake -- probably a common occurrence -- please do let me know. I will depend on the good sense of the community to keep me from making a complete fool of myself! :) In gratitude, Xoloz 16:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Infobox problem
I reverted Infobox Aircraft to the, so if you really feel the need not to see it, you can add  to your personal CSS to make it invisible.


 * Learning suppressing all the warning notices has been a nice trick to learn, because by now I know the policies well enough that they just take up space.


 * Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Ingoolemo talk 22:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
