Wikidata interface
Hi! Nearly a year ago, you described the Wikidata interface as "dreadful". I was wondering if this observation was still true, or if you felt it had improved since then. If it's still true, could you please give me some more details? Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 16:10, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

User Dutral - similarities with Lgfcd
I've noticed that your response on User talk:Dutral and interactions with the user; am I the only one who thinks he seems an awful lot like the long-banned Lgfcd? Kyteto (talk) 01:27, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Their behaviour does seem very similar. Proving a link would be difficult however, owing to the time that has passed.Nigel Ish (talk) 09:27, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Mitsubishi A6M Zero‎
N, can you keep an eye on this article; it looks really messed up, especially with some reference sources I can't figure out. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 20:55, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Kabocha here: I am sorry if this is the wrong place to communicate on this matter, but I did not see another way to reply.

To answer the first of your concerns, Mr. NI, Aero Detail 7 is indeed by Shigeru Nohara. It is partly in Japanese and partly in English. Yes, Robert Mikesh's book is the one by Crown that you point to.

I see a concern about citing a US Intelligence document. It is up to you whether you allow it to be displayed, but it is a translation of a Japanese wartime document which reveals that the Japanese Navy was working on a turbocharger in 1943. To my knowledge, it has not been reprinted in any book.

If you like, I will revise my citations according to whatever standard you instruct, but when I read the rules, they say that there is some flexibility in citation style. Obviously, it is not excusable to omit the name of author Nohara. There is one style for footnotes and another for bibliography. Which would you have me correct? Please give me footnote and/or bibliography line numbers.

Finally, yes, I agree, this article is "messed up", but not just as to footnoting and bibliography. Based on my 45 years of studying WWII Japanese aircraft, my ability to read Japanese works on the subject, etc., I feel it is replete with confusing statements, amateurish and vague discussion of technical features, overstatements, aerial combat claims presented as fact, factual errors, and insufficient citation. (Indeed, the flow chart starting the section on variants is from a Japanese publication for which the copyright is probably still in effect, yet there is no citation to it. Wikipedia has resisted my attempts to explain the model number coding system that it displays. I did not put that flow chart there.)

If you would like to open a dialogue with me about revisions, then please let me know the way to have that dialogue and to what extent it will be public. I am not familiar with the Wikipedia mechanisms of communication behind the articles. Kabocha (talk) 01:08, 30 November 2015 (UTC)kabochaKabocha (talk) 01:08, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

 * You were altering information cited to a reliable source without supplying an additional source, thus misleading the reader and misattributing the change while the changes to text were also unsourced and poorly written.Nigel Ish (talk) 06:43, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * "while the changes to text were ... poorly written" - what you mean? I'm sure that words "revenue" "design bureau" "Komi" and other were written correct. If you (as English-speaking person) see any bad grammar it seems natural to correct it rather than delete - what you think?

ARA Libertad battleship
Hi, thanks for your expansion of the article about Libertad with additional sources. So far I couldn't find clear evidence whether the class was named Libertad or Independencia, does "Conway" give a specific class name? I assume the class would be named after the first ship ordered, Libertad. Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 23:02, 12 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Confusingly, they are listed as the Independencia in the 1960–1905 volume, but as the Libertad class in the 1906–1921 volume.Nigel Ish (talk) 23:08, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Hal Amca
Hello I am the same person from the reference section who done edits from january to april and I propose a potential demerger between Hal amca and Amca programme as in the start part of development section it crates confusion, I purpose that a potential de merger between the above two parts will help to reduce confusion, as the previous design section should kept as it helps to understand the development of the programme but in different article of Amca programme totally separate from Hal Amca which would indeed help to reduce confusion between the article and help to grow in proper direction for both proposed different article,I have posted same on the Hal Amca talk page. I would like your opinion on the proposed demarge. 1.39.10.180 (talk) 15:10, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Nautilus comment
Just a thought, it might be helpful to mention that all.six of Nautilus' torpedo tubes were mounted forward, axial-firing,, as she mounted no stern tubes due, of course, to her reactor and machinery configuration.

By the way, does anybody know (or care) how many torpedo reloads Nautilus carried?

Thank you for your splendid effortsto preserve the history/memory of our nation's Number One Nuke! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1008:B048:1BF8:63DF:E224:59E5:2D97 (talk) 05:43, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * If you've got a source for that information that meets Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources, then feel free to add it to the article. Such requests would probably fit better on the Article talk page follow this link than on my talk page, as more people who have access to sources about Nautilus will be watching that page.Nigel Ish (talk) 08:32, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Viggen Variants
Hi Nigel. I wondered, as you have been particularly willing and resourceful on finding cites for this kind of information in the past, would you have any material on the Saab 37 Viggen article? I've been recently trying to properly cite and source the article, adding substancially to it in the past; but the Operators and the Variants sections remain mostly untouched so far - I haven't been able to get a high quality source to work upon for them. If you are so inclined, could you take a look at them please? Kyteto (talk) 19:30, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks Nigel, it's looking far better already! Kyteto (talk) 22:31, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

An-26 numbers in Hungary
Please check also Hungarian official sources, not only English one. There are 5 active An-26 airplanes in inventory: #405, #406, #407, #603 and #110. The Hungarian Air Force received between 1975 and 1976 #405, #406, #407, #603. Number 110 was received in March 2004. All planes before them were refurbished by Antonov. In Hungary if a plane gets a factorial refurbishment they are removed from the active list. That's why it is not shown in your source. #406 was recommissioned in June 28. 2015. So put my changes back to An-26 wiki page! Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Duke83 (talk • contribs) 10:51, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * To change the values needs a reliable source to replace the source that is already used, and Wikipedia has fairly strict requirements about what counts as a reliable source (a lot of what is on the internet doesn't meet these requirements). What you did was to change the value withot changing the source, which isn't really acceptable as it appears go misrepresnt what the source says.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:15, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Nimrod
Hi, I saw your snarky edit summary here. If you want to argue that the Daily Express is a high-quality source for this sort of material, I look forward to reading your argument at Talk:Hawker Siddeley Nimrod. If, like me, you agree that the Express is a worthless tabloid, you can feel free to get on with improving the article by finding and adding better sources, and without grumping about others' good-faith attempts to upgrade the sourcing. I'm curious to know what relevance you feel my admin status is to this discussion, since you mentioned it? --John (talk) 12:47, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Cites for Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet
Hi Nigel. I've been doing some upgrades to Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet, as you've probably noticed from the focus article notice I issued earlier this month on the WP:Aircraft talk page. I wondered, would you have any cites for the Variants or the Operators section? I've been working my hump off trying to get the Development and Operational History sections up to scratch, as well as kicking off a Design section - this article seems to have so much that can be done with it! Any hel pthat can be spared is appreciated, but it's no sweat if you don't have the time/the article doesn't appeal. Kyteto (talk) 20:52, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

 * To be fair, at least for the I-153, and unusually for this editor, the claims may have at least some basis, as it was used as a testbed for crude ramjets, and this is mentioned in the article. And then there is the Belphegor!Nigel Ish (talk) 20:50, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

HMS Dartmouth (1911)
You've greatly improved this article. I'd like to expand it further as part of the WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge and take it to GA and give you credit as co-nominator since you've gone the bulk of the work already, if you're agreeable. I intend to rework the citations to Corbett and Newbolt as I have the reprints of the 2nd editions to hand and may be able to expand her post-war history if she served in the Mediterranean during this time.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:18, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I deserve a co-credit as most of my edits were in 2014, but thanks for the offer. There may be more detail on WW1 usage in the first part of the war in the Naval Staff Memorandums. I'll give them a quick once over.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:34, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Nonetheless, I don't really have to do anything to most of the article, so I think it would be well-deserved. I'll start work on it in the next day or two. I've only just downloaded the Memorandums so it's going to take me a while to see what they've got that's useful.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:28, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

why the Harvard referencing
When there is only 1 ref? --Marc Lacoste (talk) 19:15, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It places the cite in the correct context -i.e. as a reference to a part of a larger article, and is consistent with what is already done in the article.Nigel Ish (talk) 19:24, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * But for the DC-8 article, it isn't consistent since there is more inline refs. I don't understand why it should be superior for the context. I understand the usefulness of harvard ref when a book is cited multiple times for multiple pages (for DC-8: Francillon) for for an article with no specific page, it obfuscate the reference. --Marc Lacoste (talk) 04:42, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Supermarine Spitfire
Hi Nigel, the section of the article I edited reads 'Maximum speed: 370 mph (595 km/h) (322 kn, 595 km/h)' as you can see the km/h figure is listed twice. That's why I deleted the second instance. Does it need to be listed twice? -- Boreas74  You'll catch more flies with honey 16:51, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Valentia Drawing
Who is the copyright holder?

Other sites: that claims Aviastar as a source and.

Not in Vickers Aircraft (Putnam) unless a later edition?Rstory (talk) 14:03, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Aviastar is a serial copyvio offender - see WikiProject Aircraft/Aviastar - we shouldn't be linking to or using them as any sort of source, and we must not be using any drawings unless we know that they are in public domain because the copyright has expired or have been licences in a suitably free manner for use on Wikipedia.Nigel Ish (talk) 14:09, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I appreciate there is a photo already, however the drawing offers views that are not seen in the photo and there are no photos extant of these views, i.e. Top, left, front elevations. That seems a reasonable FU justification.Rstory (talk) 14:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I also notice that you appear to have uploaded the photo of the aircraft as PD-US-1923 - however, there is no evidence of when it was first published - therefore PD-US-1923 is inappropriate as we don't know for sure whether it was published prior to 1923, and we don't know whether it is copyright expired in the UK because we do not know the author (so we cannot say for certain if it is 70 years since the death of the author) ands we don't know when it was first published (it has to be 70 years since publication if the author is unknown).Nigel Ish (talk) 14:35, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The logic suggests both require FU justification?Rstory (talk) 14:50, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Fair use justification would be difficult for the three view as it would be possible for someone to produce a new 3-view and release it under suitable licence. For the photo, this 1921 page from Flight has a photo which was published prior to 1923 and would be suitable for uploading here on en-wiki even if not on commons (proof would be needed that it was also pd in the UK for that).Nigel Ish (talk) 15:51, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Published 1921 on a postcard see original Ebay links disappear eventually, hence 'expired'.Rstory (talk) 09:36, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * How about a lower-res version of the 3-view? Drawings are good for comparing hull forms etc against other designs. Also good for articles where there is limited space. RegardsRstory (talk) 09:51, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

 * The article in Aeroplane says that one G-BEVT was still in service at the end of March. G-RLON is the one that has been given to Solent Sky and the third, G-BDTO was retired in December 2016 and may going to the Guernsey Airport fire training unit.Nigel Ish (talk) 21:32, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * That's all three accounted for then. Thanks for the background info Nigel. Irondome (talk) 21:34, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Your reversion of my edit to Short Belfast
Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you reverted my edit to Short Belfast, with the comment "cite the title properly". Per MOS:CT:

For title case, the words that are not capitalized (unless they are the first or last word of the title) are:


 * Articles (a, an, the)

Since the mentioned exception does not apply to the title in question, would you please be so kind as to do me the courtesy of undoing your reversion? —DocWatson42 (talk) 09:03, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Doing so would be to falsify the title of the reference. I will not do it. As clearly verifiability is not important to you or to MOS, I will unwatch the article so I am not liable for such disruptive changes.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:57, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, per the publisher's official Web page for the current edition and the 2009–10 edition's cover, the title is capitalized Jane's All t he World’s Aircraft (emphasis added)—see here and here, respectively.—DocWatson42 (talk) 00:43, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * If you want further proof, I can provide the citations from various style guides, or even take photos of the book in question—one of my local college libraries has just about every edition. And, yes, I do care about verifiability. —DocWatson42 (talk) 00:55, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I have unwatched the article so you can do what you want to it - I will not edit it again as you have made it quite clear that I am not welcome there. Please do not edit this talk page again.Nigel Ish (talk) 08:42, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
