WP:TIMETRACE
Hello, I wonder if you could, while editing diverse articles, check if they have sources in their history or chronology (or when they mention any important date. If they don't, could you please place inline Timefact calls where those citations to sources are missing, this will display . If you find an article with too many inline calls to place or totally lacking needed history of the subject, you can instead place at the footnotes of the article's main page, just before Categories. If you could add this to your routines, it will most certainly help WP:TIMETRACE. Thank you for your help.  Dao  ken  06:45, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Invitation


Hello. You may have seen that some Wikipedia articles lack sources to given dates, timelines and chronologies. If you feel that you could like to help in making all articles more reliable and well sourced in this regard, we would like to encourage you to use, as part of your daily editing and when fact is not enough for requesting clearly and specifically a citation or source for dates, timeline or chronology, the following inline tag:
 * Timefact displays {chronology source needed} for requesting timelines, dates and chronology sources. Click  here for more information

At WP Timeline Tracer, we thank you for using these tools and for helping to make Wikipedia articles more accurate and reliable.  Dao  ken  10:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

RecirculatingBall.png
Hi Kivaan! Nice picture, but I'd like to suggest that you change the label "Recirculating Ball Bearings". You see, although a lot of people keep referring to steel balls as "ball bearings", this is technically incorrect. A bearing is a mechanical device for a kinematic connection, and a bearing ball used in a rolling-element bearing is only a part of the whole and should not be called a "bearing" by itself. How about just "Recirculating Balls"? Best regards --BjKa (talk) 09:09, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Yemeni Missiles
Hey I wanted to thank you for creating the Volcano 1 article as I have been busy ever since I did the Volcano H-2 article, and never managed to get around to do it, if you need help finding sources or are interested in finishing the rest of the Yemeni missiles (As I believe there are about another 4 types of missiles that are still missing) I will be happy to work with you. Chilicheese22 (talk) 17:30, 12 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey sorry to get back to you so late, but I wanted to make sure that I had an idea of what types of missiles were being used on a weekly or daily basis against the Saudi Led Coalition that may not be garnering the same amount of attention as the Volcano H-2. What I was able to find was that the articles that needed to be created were the Volcano 2 (Just the regular plain one without the "H" at the end") the Zelezal Series   (English Translation-Quake) (There are three Variants 1,2,3) the Qaher series  (English Translation-Conqueror) (I believe there are three variant also 1,2,M2) and the newly released anti ship missile Mandab which is named after Bab-el-Mandeb strait and I believe there is one variant of this. Also what I found that's interesting is that these shorter range missiles are shot at 3 or 4 at a time see the Qaher M-2 video that I attached. Chilicheese22 (talk) 17:24, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Burkan 1 Linedrawing.svg
Thank you for uploading File:Burkan 1 Linedrawing.svg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:Burkan 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Burkan 1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:15, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rearwin Cloudster, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Speedster and Sportster ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Rearwin_Cloudster check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Rearwin_Cloudster?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
