Question About Editing
Hi im Doriantrue (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2011 (UTC)doriantrueDoriantrue (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2011 (UTC) and I’ve just written my first wikipedia article as a project for my English class and I was wondering if you had any advice on how I could improve the look? Thanks! The page is Curtis Baptist High School.

Hello I'm User:Nicobro1/sandbox (User_talk:Nicobro1) 11:39, 18 October 2012. I am working on my first article for my English 103 class. I am writing about one of the buildings, Lee III Hall at Clemson University. If you could give me any advice, I would greatly appreciate it! here is the link to my article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_III_Hall_of_Clemson_University Thank you!

Howdy - on Linking
I saw your Esso Club article and see you were attempting to make a link.

Instead the format is:


 * '#REDIRECT ESSO Club' - without the ' and with the  around the link

and the link automatically transfers... I already did it. But keep it up!

re: Stolen C-130
If you have a better reference link, please include it instead of or in addition to mine. If should be some reputable source, not a forum or a blog. Also, I see you struggle with signing on my talk page. Actually, you can sign with ~ (see WP:SIG). WP will substitute you signature. Also, the buttons at the top of the of the editing form has a sign button (3rd from the right) --rogerd 04:47, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

University of South Carolina
Hi, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind lending your opinion to a content dispute that I am currently involved in on University of South Carolina. As you know, USC has a strong rivalry with Clemson University. I feel that the athletics section of the article should discuss this rivalry, and I feel that this discussion should include a reference to the overall record between the two schools in various major sports. Other editors have disagreed, and feel that the record should not be mentioned. As it happens, Clemson leads in two of the discussed sports and USC leads in the third. I would appreciate it if you would consider lending your opinion on this issue on Talk:University of South Carolina. Thanks! &Euml;vilphoenix Burn! 00:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

preserved c-130s
Two things about this. First, they're both AC-130s, and there's a separate article for that model; are they really appropriate here? Second, there are thousands of C-130s still in service - is listing preserved airframes even practical? Just curious. ericg &#9992; 23:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Clemson Probation
I have revised your revision of my edit regarding the above. If you follow the link I added to my revision, click on Major violations, search Clemson then public report, you will find that my facts are accurate, including at least one major violation by the Clemson head coach in 1981. Please be careful to document the factual basis of your edits before editing my posts as I always report based on documented evidence.

Hey there Mark. I removed your addition of trivia to this article, because it was unencyclopedic and not verified. You also might want to take a look at Avoid trivia sections in articles. Regards, Gzkn 08:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, I'm currently on recent changes patrol, which means I'm on the lookout for vandalism and the like (your edit wasn't vandalism though!). I use a nifty tool called Lupin's anti-vandal tool to spot questionable changes such as this one. The tool often spits out false positives though, so sometimes I take a look at edits which may need improvement instead. Anyway, hope you're enjoying your Reggae! :-) Good job so far with Claude Moore Colonial Farm. Happy editing! Gzkn 08:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

RE: Virginia Aviation Museum
To be frank, I think the article would be better off not listing every single aircraft that's on display, but instead focus on the museum itself (its history, what aspects of it make it unique, etc.). However, I think you'll find that http://vam.smv.org/ might contain what you're looking for (see the Aircraft section). :-) Gzkn 09:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

A request for assistance
Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 05:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Robert Goralski
It was Robert Abernethy & Nancy Dickerson who co-anchored live coverage of Air Force One landing at Andrews Air Force Base on November, 22, 1963, NOT Robert Goralski. See There Was a President, by NBC News. Goralski was at the White House that day and anchored live coverage of the new president arriving at the White House.

B-17 Photo upload
Hi, Mark. In response to your question about uploading an image, the easiest way is to follow the steps in the Wikipedia "Upload file" menu item in the toolbox located on the left menu bar (under the search window). After you have selected an image, one of the first "prompts" is to identify the source in relation to the Summary (author, source, URL, fair use rationale if applicable, extra, etc.). Most often images need to have a tag and in the case of a B-17 image, it is most likely to receive a —general US military. Bzuk 22:12 9 February 2007 (UTC).

Roundels
Unfortunately, I don't know about availability of roundels. Most articles just use national flags (see UH-60 Black Hawk for example}. You might want to drop the question on the Aircraft Project talk page, though. Unrelated to that...is your father in the Southern California area? I was introduced to an elderly Sublette (can't remember first name or rank) by some friends at the Mojave Airport a few years back, during a Veteran's Day celebration. Just thought it might be a small world. Akradecki 14:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

BQZip01 message
Sublette, thanks and Howdy. Yeah, I'm a band nerd/geek/BQ. Great overall job on the documentation. I used to be in Special Operations and I was the Wing Liaison for 13 Accident/Safety Investigation Boards for Special Ops aircraft, so if you want to know the details of any of those accidents (especially the MC-130 crashes in 2003 and beyond). I also still have a few contacts there and/or can get you some basic info. I think it is important to note that Spirit 03 was the last gunship to be brought down and that it has not been involved in a Class A mishap since that date. Should we include that?

I noticed your note about SAT being a CIA operation...I've heard that too, but I was wondering if they still are? They've got 3 747s sitting in storage here at Mojave, supposedly being used as a parts source for their flying aircraft. Also, FWIW, what do you know about Tepper being CIA, since they fly C-130s?

Tepper C-130
As a follow-up to our earlier conversation, on Friday I got a nice tour of a Tepper L-382 (67X). In the pics I'd posted to the article, it's shown all white, but now it has the Tepper blue stripes as well. It's the most immaculate 130 I've ever been aboard, and the five-panel glass cockpit is stunning. The guy who conducted the tour also confirmed the CIA link, but that's not a wiki-usable source, of course. Akradecki 05:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Boeing F-99 Bomarc, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Covert use of Forest Service C-130s?
Hi Mark, while working on an article on the 2002 air tanker crashes (draft is here), I've come across a couple of references to a scandal back in the 1990s about C-130As that were obtained by the U.S. Forest Service from the Air Force, and then used for covert missions while on the books as air tankers. This is one reference (go to the bottom of the rather lengthy page) and this is another. Do you have any information on this? If it was a legit scandal, rather than just another conspiracy theory, it might make for an interesting article in its own right.  AK Radecki Speaketh  23:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Good day Mark, I see that you are making some additions to the Norton article. This is a great thing since this base deserves much better representation.

List of rail accidents - 2000 to present notability criterion
You had previously made note on the Talk:List of rail accidents - 2000 to present that certain types of rail accidents may not be notable for the scope of the project. I would like to have a discussion about which direction to take the article, especially with regard to what constitutes a notable rail accident.

The "XB-17"
Greetings Signaleer:

Regarding the Air Force Museum reference mentioned by you - No - my deletion of the XB-17 nomenclature ref was NOT done unknowingly. I now quote the opening paragraph of Boeing employee and historian Peter M. Bowers "Fortress In The Sky" (Sentry Books, Granada Hills, California, 1976), Chapter 4 - The First Fortresses: Model 299 Prototype through B-17D, page 12:

Boeing Model 299 - the "XB-17"

One of the first fallacies of the B-17 story that needs debunking is the "XB-17" designation. There never was one, and the B-17 designation itself did not appear officially until January, 1936, nearly three months after the prototype crashed. Subsequent use of the fictional designation was the result of logic and convenience. Aside from official military designations for prototype and experimental models such as the Boeing-designed XB-15 that was built on an Army Air Corps contract, it was common practice to call all experimental prototypes "X-Jobs". Sometimes the references were more specific, as "XB" for experimental bomber without a specific military designation. Since the Boeing design did eventually become the B-17, it subsequently became convenient to refer to the ill-fated prototype as the XB-17. This practice became so common, in fact, that even U.S. Army (later Air Force) publications have referred to the airplane repeatedly as the XB-17 and still do.

Additionally, Roger A. Freeman with David R. Osborne's "The B-17 Flying Fortress Story: Design-Production-History" (Arms & Armour Press, London, U.K., 1998) adds, on page 14:

There was no XB-17 as the unfortunate prototype was the property of Boeing and not the US government, although official literature would often refer to the aircraft by that designation."

So, I hold that the National Museum of the USAF's useage of the XB-17 designation is just the self-perpetuating myth mentioned above. Mark Sublette (talk) 06:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 06:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The National Museum of the United States Air Force is a reliable source and the usage of the term XB-17 will stay unless changed otherwise by the USAF. -Signaleer (talk) 13:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * "They is none so blind as them that will not see." Mark Sublette (talk) 14:01, 1 August 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 14:01, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Here is the museum's prompt response to my e-mail:

Dear Mr. Sublette

Thank you for contacting the National Museum of the United States Air Force. We appreciate your concerns and are aware of the unofficial status of the designation "XB-17". All but one of the images on our website had already been updated to reflect the true designation of the aircraft as Boeing Model 299. As a result of your letter, we have since corrected this oversight and clarified the status of the unofficial designation XB-17 on the webpage for the aircraft at:

XB-17 (Model 299): http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=2488

Despite these concerns, we have chosen to continue to refer to the airframe as both the Model 299 and XB-17. The unofficial designation has become popularly tied to the airframe and in effect better defines the Air Force role of the prototype than does its company designation. All indications do appear that the aircraft would have acquired this designation following its acceptance by the Army Air Corps had it not been destroyed.

Photo searches should now produce results for keywords "Model 299" and "XB-17".

Please allow several days for the changes to take effect.

Please note that our website is only intended to serve as an introduction to Air Force history. We suggest that any person interested in learning more about any Air Force topic consult available literature for a more complete and comprehensive review.

If you have any questions or comments please contact me. Thank you for your interest in Air Force history and have a great day!

Military accidents
Good work on the article Mark I will try and add what I can. I do notice that some entries have histories, construction numbers and previous identies of aircraft which in my opinion may be a bit to much for the general reader who may be put off by all the acronyms and fine detail. Agree that combat losses should not be included, a discussion on a notability criteria was started but I dont think a final concensus was agreed on. Bit wary of that there is a lot of fast jet crashes that could be added, just looking at a long list of F-100 losses in Europe, most of which are not really notable. MilborneOne (talk) 09:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Dont have a problem with the work you have done just a bit concerned that a lot of accidents could be added in the future, but if we keep an I on it I am sure it will be alright for the time being. I still have a problem with listing construction numbers or MSNs and previous identites in what is a list in a general encyclopedia but these minor problems at the moment perhaps if this is the only mention they should be put into supplementary notes so they are not lost as reference material. Just like to say again you have done good work on the article. MilborneOne (talk) 10:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just an idea Mark see what you think to the edit in 1943 - revert if you dont like it just trying to make it more readable to general readers. MilborneOne (talk) 10:41, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Support breaking it down into smaller articles - perhaps we could leave List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft to cover post 2000 and then link to Accidents and incidents involving military aircraft 1900-1949 and Accidents and incidents involving military aircraft 1950-1999. Suggest dropping the list part of the title because in most instances the entries do not have a linked article (unlike the commercial list) and this may allow us to include more content to be included in the future. MilborneOne (talk) 15:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with including serials, BuNo's etc., as although they may be irrelevant to the general reader there will be plenty of more knowledgeable ones who will find the extra information useful. They also help distinguish between a number of crashes involving the same type of aircraft. The page split seems fine BTW. Ian Dunster (talk) 15:19, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Alaska Airlines L-382s?
Hi Mark, I'd like to pick your brain, as you're the resident C-130 expert. I came across an Air Force photo showing an L-382 in Alaska Airlines colors at Tuy Hoa airbase in Viet Nam, but there is no mention of the aircraft type being used in the Alaska Airlines article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Douglas M. Webster
A tag has been placed on Douglas M. Webster requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Copyright problem on Douglas M. Webster
Hi Mark. I've removed the "Early life" section of the aforementioned article because it still appeared to infringe on the source website. Unfortunately, minor alterations do not alleviate copyright concerns; the text must be completely rewritten so that it is original. I had a scout around to see if the text itself was taken from an official US govt citation (and therefore public domain), but didn't come up with anything. If you can point out that I'm wrong, that'd be great, but otherwise we can't use the text until completely rewritten. Best, – Toon 00:14, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Aircraft in Fiction
I have no doubt you're correct, but I don't believe that youtube clip will stand up as a RS. It requires research on your part to connect two sources and draw the conclusion. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:47, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I run into a similar thing with firearms. The frustrating thing with that article has been all the aircraft we KNOW were in films and shows, but finding a reliable source is a bear. But when some of us took on the task of saving that article, reliable sources was a requirement we agreed on being absolute. Every Friday, one of us removes all unsourced entries from the past week. The whole purpose of the article has been to keep all the cruft out of serious aircraft articles and so far, according to some, it's doing a decent job at it. But please, feel free to add to the article. All help is welcome. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:20, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * BTW, it's not a preference about one aircraft over another, it's what we can find reliable sources for. There are tons of aircraft we know were in movies etc, but finding a source that says it is the tough part. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Motoharu Okamura

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Aircraft in fiction
I like the addition of the Blue Oyster Cult album jacket to the article, but it is a fair-use image, which means that to keep it on the page you need to add a fair-use rationale to the image page, similar to the one that is already there for the album article. Let me know if this needs a better explanation! - Ahunt (talk) 01:14, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay - I have to admit, I don't quite understand how the fair use template works... Do I have to add in another section for this inclusion of the image? Mark Sublette (talk) 01:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 01:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, just copy the existing fair use template on the image page and change the details so it rationalizes using it in Aircraft in fiction instead. When you are done the image should have two fair use boxes, one above the other. Otherwise a nasty bot will remove it from the article for which the rationalization is missing! - Ahunt (talk) 11:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Barnstar

 * Thank you for your note! No problem, you have done great work on this article and while people are very quick to complain on Wikipedia, I think it is also a good idea to "give credit where due" and your work on Aircraft in fiction deserves recognition! - Ahunt (talk) 10:30, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I have performed a search with the contents of List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (1925–1934), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (1925–1949).

If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

 * I have reviewed the article versus the source article and can find no common text. There are ideas and quotes taken from the article, but these have been properly footnoted. I believe the tag to have been unjustified and oddly it was added with no edit summary by an admin, so I have removed it. - Ahunt (talk) 16:51, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * What summary is needed? It's pretty much lifting entire sections of the article.  I agree there have been some changes just not enough, I have tagged it for cleanup instead and outlined the issues I see with the article on the talk page. --WGFinley (talk) 17:22, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Easy being a critic, idnit? Much harder to generate the material.  I cited all the references and I note four sources for the article, not just the Check Six site.

Wikimania 2012 bid, DC chapter & next meetup!

 * 1) At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out.  You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
 * 2) To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter.  You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
 * 3) To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.

Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)

La-7
Do you have a source that shows that the La-7 was in Chinese service? It could have easily been an La-9 that shot down that airliner.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:54, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I was using both the reference lower down in the existing La-7 Wiki article, as well as the account of the shoot-down that I have now added to the lede as a ref. Mark Sublette (talk) 02:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 02:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Eglin O'Club
The info you put in on the Eglin O'Club seems like alot of info about one bldg remodel. Also making the club a combined club isn't that notable anymore - CES & SVS Sqds have been working together for years to cut down on bldg footprints and save money. Not sure it's appropriate to have the SVS PM in there by name either. Do you think this should be editted down so that it doesn't read like the WG/PA press release and/or an advertisement for the Club? I can do it, but I didn't want you to think I went in and did a chop job on your insertion. Just a thought. Ckruschke (talk) 14:31, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Ckruschke

 * ISRAELI F-4's - Including the tail numbers of the individual F-4's is drilling pretty deep. Do you think that that level of detail is appropriate?  Would it be more appropriate to include them as "footnotes" with the reference you included?  Again - just asking the question. Ckruschke (talk) 14:29, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Ckruschke

Valparaiso Airport
Why did you replace all content with "There is no such thing as Valparaiso Airport."? The article should be moved to "Northwest Florida Regional Airport", but it appears that it does exist.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  23:07, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * My apologies - it was the same content in both places.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  23:10, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Spurious edits
I removed the content from the newly created so-called Valparaiso Airport as it comes out of several strange edits by Austin XXXXX who had previously vandalized the Eglin Air Force Base article by removing most of its content, and then proceeded to create the special Val-P Airport article by lifting material from the pre-existing Northwest Florida Regional Airport article. Whether this was good intentions gone bad, or whether it was outright vandalism, either way the additions were wrong. The Valparaiso Airport article should be deleted.

I've temporarily blanked this article why we sort out the copyright problem - which should be easier enough to sort. At the moment it would appear there is no licensing information at the source so we must assume that it is not available under a compatible license. Obviously if you are the copyright holder then you are allowed to post it here but the problem we currently have is that there is no way to prove you're the copyright owner. The easiest way for you to fix this would be to post a message on your user page at [] stating that you also edit as Mark Sublette at wikipedia. This way we can link the two accounts and be confident you are the copyright holder. You could even immediately revert your edit if you want as we could still link the accounts. If you do not do it this way there may be other ways we can explore to verify permission but the way I suggest is likely to be both easiest and quickest. Dpmuk (talk) 16:42, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. We need to explicitly link your accounts, or I'm afraid we have no choice but to treat the content as though it was authored by somebody else.

If you do that and leave a note at the talk page of the article letting us know that you have, we can mark this resolved and restore the content. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:20, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Copyright violation
Hi there. I just had to remove and/or rewrite a large chunk of the article Consolidated XB-41 Liberator due to copyright violations; the "Testing" section included large pieces of close paraphrasing and even a lengthy portion cut-and-pasted from this source, which the article history indicates you added in July. Please note that cut-and-pasting from sources that are not public domain is against Wikipedia policy; copyright violations are taken extremely seriously and editors who are responsible for them can be blocked. You might want to check your other contributions and be sure that they aren't copyvios; Duplication Detector is a helpful tool for spotting them. Thanks. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:27, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Serial style at MARB
Hello Mark. I see you added italics to the serial numbers of the March Air Reserve Base aircraft image Seems to me that vehicle names, like Enola Gay get italics, but the serial numbers do not. MOS:ITALIC is pretty clear as to ships & locomotives, but does not mention aircraft. And the aviation WikiProject guidelines WP:AVINAME & WP:AVIMOS do not address the serial number question. What do you think? Shall we tweak the guidelines? Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 18:36, 26 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I have been using this guideline from List of Military Aircraft Accidents and Incidents for years: "Information on aircraft gives the type, and if available, the serial number of the operator in italics, the constructors number, also known as the manufacturer's serial number (c/n), exterior codes in apostrophes, nicknames (if any) in quotation marks, flight callsign in italics, and operating units." I think that the Enola Gay may well fall into the category of being SO notable that it warrants an exception to the rule. User:Mark Sublette


 * Wow – it looks like this has been your bailiwick for a long time! But does an article description really set WP:MOS? If the layout you describe has non-WP guidance that supports it, I suggest you modify/expand the guidance in those links I mentioned. I've got real feelings one way or the other. The MARB page is on my watch list, so I caught sight of your modification. – S. Rich (talk) 01:36, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Wikimedia DC is looking forward to a spring full of cool and exciting activities. In March, we have coming up:


 * Evening WikiSalon on Wednesday, March 12 from 7 PM – 9 PM. Meet up with Wikipedians for coffee at the Cove co-working space in Dupont Circle! If you cannot make it in the evening, join us at our...
 * March Meetup on Sunday, March 23 from 3 PM – 6 PM. Our monthly weekend meetup, same place as last month. Meet really cool and interesting people!
 * Women in the Arts 2014 meetup and edit-a-thon on Sunday, March 30 from 10 AM – 5 PM. Our second annual Women in the Arts edit-a-thon, held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Free lunch will be served!

An exciting month of wiki events!
 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room. When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

For more information, see http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205500822/

List of aircraft accidents at Eglin Air Force Base
I noted your revert of my edit of List of aircraft accidents at Eglin Air Force Base in which you accuse me of "dumbing down" a source. I have to say to you that I have never "dumbed down" anything. I don't see how changing to lower case, as per WP:MOS is dumbing down, unless you think that Wikipedia is a dumbing down anyway, in which case why would you not recommend deletion of the article. The only "dumbing down" in this article that I can see is the misspelling of "Enroute", which should be "En route", which is what brought me to this article in the first place. Some people may say that "enroute" is acceptable but it is not; the correct version is "en route". I have no access to the Charleston Gazette which clearly you do, so why don't you get in touch with them and teach them how to write correct English. If you want clarification try this and this. In the mean time don't accuse me of "dumbing down". Jodosma (talk) 20:00, 25 November 2014 (UTC)


 * My my - touchy, aren't we? I quoted the source as it was printed. Don't get yer knickers in a knot. I did not undo your "en route" edit, only the headline type set.  Look closely. User:Mark Sublette

Aviation articles
Hi Mark. I hope you are still producing original aviation articles. If so this page could be of great help in doing lots of the leg-work, just fill in the gaps!! - Template:WPAVIATION_creator. Happy editting. Also when creating an aviation article could you please paste the WPAVIATION template Template:WikiProject Aviation on the talk page, to make the assessors job easier. Thanks.

Sultana or SS Sultana
In case you have missed the discussion on Talk:Sultana (steamboat), I wanted to point out that some editors have objected to your renaming of the article. I support the idea of changing the name to "Sultana (steamboat)", but I think you should check the talk page and comment if you see fit. NameIsRon (talk) 22:07, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Your addition of the Ghostrider write-off seems to be almost a word-for-word copy of the source, thus a possible WP:COPYVIO, although I appreciate that the source may be in the Public Domain. It is far too detailed for the list. Please trim accordingly. Mjroots (talk) 09:05, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as SS Charles Henderson. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:31, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (1940–44) into Accidents and incidents involving the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., . It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 04:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Editing inside quotations
Thanks for your comment on my talk page. You didn't mention the specific edit or page, so I'm not sure which one you mean. My understanding is that the WP Manual of Style allows only trivial spelling and typographic errors in quotations to be corrected without comment. If I uncapitalized a city in a dateline, maybe that was my own typo - it doesn't seem like something I did intentionally.

Ira

Ira Leviton (talk) 21:53, 11 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean now, but I respectfully disagree because it's ALLCAPS. The WP Manual of Style generally encourages reducing ALLCAPS to sentence or title case.  Datelines aren't part of quotations, any more than headlines are, so I don't think that changing a quotation applies, and ALLCAPS for headlines is specifically mentioned in the Manual of Style as something to avoid.  I don't see anything resembling datelines as one of the few exceptions for using ALLCAPS.

Aviation accidents
Hi! I noticed your recent contributions to aviation article creation (specifically the United Airlines 1934 Utah crash) and was wondering if you would consider writing some articles on Soviet plane crashes. Many Soviet plane crashes don't have english wiki articles because all mentions of plane crashes in the USSR were censored from the media until glasnost, causing lots of crashes to not have abundant english information published about them because the crashes happened well into the past and weren't "news". Would you consider writing some of the soviet plane crash articles on this list and this list, or maybe even joining the Soviet aviation task force to help reduce this information gap? Thank you!--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 20:27, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

 * And it helps to search for the aircraft registration (prefix in cyrillic) with the date of the accident and aircraft type. I've noticed searching flight numbers isn't very helpful because if Aeroflot stopped re-using flight numbers after crashes, they wouldn't have many flight numbers to choose from bc the Soviet airliners crashed so much, hence searching for a flight number just yeilds info about the current status of that flight.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 21:32, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft before 1925
I saw your reversion of my edits to this page. I realized the nature of my changes when I made them, and each one was intentional. Being on Wikipedia mainly as a copy editor lately, I want to call your attention to the first bullet point in the section on the use of capital letters in the Wikipedia Manual of Style, which instructs editors to "Reduce newspaper headlines and other titles from all caps to title case – or to sentence case if required by the citation style established in the article. For example, replace the headline or title 'WAR BEGINS TODAY' with 'War Begins Today' ". If not for this, half the references about wrestlers in the WWF, boy bands, and certain other categories would be shouting. (OK, that's hyperbole.) But I urge you to reconsider your reversion - allcaps should be used very sparingly in Wikipedia, and in accordance with the exceptions that appear in the same section of the Manual of Style. I don't believe that the citations in this article fit that exception.

It looks like we briefly spoke about this in October 2017 (above), although it was about another Wikipedia page.

Sincerely,

Ira Leviton (talk) 13:10, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

David Lardner moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, David Lardner, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I do hope, that if I am in violation, I will be given due consideration of my good intention. Editing Wikipedia is one of my pleasures and I very much hope that I will be allowed to continue. I will be more than willing to rework articles in question to become compliant.

Thank you.

 * Edits like are not sufficient. You cannot just change one or two words in the sentence. You must completely rewrite what the source says. --Rschen7754 18:18, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
