IP block exempt
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. WilliamH (talk) 15:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I will use this account carefully as I always did. Oyoyoy (talk) 17:52, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Bristol Racer
Quick on the punch with that one, I only uploaded it last night & was going to insert it into the article today...TheLongTone (talk) 06:36, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Always happy to assist. Oyoyoy (talk) 09:09, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Out of pure nosiness, how did you come across the image? Were you doing a search for something or do you just look at new uploads?TheLongTone (talk) 09:13, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I regularly look at new aviation uploads on Commons. Oyoyoy (talk) 09:24, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah. I'm pretty inexperienced in uploading & am not familiar with the categorisation, so have tended not to add categories. Making it harder for people like you. I've been looking at the IWM collection, there are some gems there that are screaming to be put into articles.TheLongTone (talk) 10:07, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * If there are any special images that you would like to upload, I'll be happy to assist. Have you searched the images that link to the [Template:IWM Collections]? The images you're looking for may already be in the database. Oyoyoy (talk) 14:18, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The images that really interested me were a load of technical drawings of early Royal Aircraft Factory aircraft, and some very interesting pictores of a UAV project from 1917. Thanks for the tip about finding what's been uploaded, & also about adding the iwm template...I'm fine with the uploading itself, it's refinements like categorisation I need to get thoroughly au fait with. But thanks for the offer.TheLongTone (talk) 18:33, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

July 2014
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to 2009 Makhachkala Il-76 collision does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history.

The edit summary appears in:
 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list and
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Jetstreamer $Talk$ 10:16, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
