Question about September 21
Hi Phillis, I'm confused about this edit. What was wrong with this entry?


 * 1920 - Jay Ward, American animator (d. 1988)

-- Jim Douglas 00:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Never mind! I get it now...born yesterday = September 20. -- Jim Douglas 01:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Help!
Hi there. I guess us seniors should stick together but your recent edit looks a little like it could be OR- why do you say "act of courage" when all Ringo does is to wave? -- Rodhullandemu  (please reply here - contribs) 17:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine, it's just that I haven't seen the movie for a couple of weeks & that bit of the dialogue had slipped my mind. I bow to your better memory! -- Rodhullandemu  (please reply here - contribs) 17:39, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Lovely lady; you may be right. But although it's plain from the scene that Ringo may be a coward, and that is a recurring theme right up to the end of the film, to say so, I think needs a reference. However, I don't see any reason to get hot under the collar about it. Regards, -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 01:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Not at all. Your edit was totally valid, and my collar is accordingly chilled. -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 03:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC) Talk to me, please, Phyllis -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 03:42, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, I had no intention of pestering you. I will reply to your email once I've thought a little, but yesterday was a little strange here and I am in recovery mode. Cheers, -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 21:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Phyllis, nice to make your acquaintance (now doesn't that sound quaint?) as we both seem to inhabiting the same WikyWacky world. I hail (another way of telling I come from the Jurassic period) from the frozen north (I still have snow in my front yard!!). I think we may share some common interests, some of which are films and flight. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 23:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC). Well okay, just aviation topics, but that's a good start.

YF/F-107/F-107A
Sorry I couldn't join in on the fun but being bereft of reference sources, and out in Mexico for a week and in Toronto twice on business and pleasure trips, I finally got a look at Steve Pace's X-Fighters: USAF Experimental and Prototype Fighters XP-59 to YF-23, Nico Sgarlato and Franco Ragni's U.S. Fighters of the Fifties and Robert F. Dorr and David Donald's Fighters of the United States Air Force. All of the sources agree that the aircraft type designation was the F-107 while the three prototypes were designated the YF-107A. FWiW, BillCj is a "good guy" just of the "anal-retentive variety" like most of us fuddy-duddies. Bzuk (talk) 13:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC).

Tom Horn
P1753,

Back on the 21st of this month you "fixed" the article Tom Horn. But if you had done a compare on the history tab you would have seen a major vandalism done by, where that user removed 1,673 bytes of information from the article, thus causing the indent that you found. If you see an indent like that try to figure out how it happened and who did it using the "History" tab, then you can really fix it. Thanks. > 4.240.78.183 (talk) 09:30, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Now in here was Sandy Denny singing "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" but the .ogg file was pulled...copyright violations or something...carry on

Nice! Sandy Denny had such a good voice. Hard to believe she's been gone 30 years now. Hmmm...mmm...mmm. Still, the one that really brings a tear to my eye at a time like this is Joni Mitchell's Circle Game. Me? I can still think young but it's like the Little Feat song "Old Folks Boogie"

Konrad Dannenberg
Hi,

I noticed you made some recent edits to the Konrad Dannenberg page. I am wondering if you could help me keep an eye out on this article. There is a troll who continually tries to vandalize the article using various aliases that are similar to mine in an attempt to impersonate me. I don't have the time to watch it every day and am wondering if you could help me. I didn't know Mr Dannenberg well but he was a very nice man and doesn't deserve this.

Thanks

Bramlett Article
You will forgive me for taking a slightly more firm line than you did with the miscreant, mouth-breathing drooler who is attempting to control the article.

Cass Hough
Writing an article about him? If so, good on ya. :-) Binksternet (talk) 20:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Actually, no. There isn't much out there about him. He's always been one of those back-room-boy mystery men we've read about in connection with the 8th AF. Turns out to be a mundane story, in a way. He was the grandson of the man who invented the Daisy air rifle! Helped manage the Daisy company until he served in WW II, single handedly curing all the 8th's technical problems and diving every conceivable aircraft past the sound barrier, if you believe all the stories (there's probably one soul who believes he did it in a Cessna :^D), came back to Daisy where he rose to be President and retired in the early 70s. He died in 1990 at 85. His name popped into my head this AM and I had a Paul Harvey moment. "The rest of the story..." and all. Anyway, one website had him in a P-38 in Aug. '42 and I groaned. " Now it's a P-38." (I had always heard it was a P-47). I saw some sort of reference to this in the P-47 article and I thought to pass it along on the P-38 page just to cover that base. It doesn't have to be much, just a statement to the effect that a P-38 couldn't go supersonic if its life depended on it, with a citation to make it "official". Cheers!--Phyllis1753 (talk) 22:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Identity question about {file:Terrytalbot.JPG}
Hi Phyllis1753, please take a look at the Mason Proffit edit history, an IP editor saying he's Terry Talbot has stated that your photo of Terry is actually Ron Schuetter. This could be a good faith mistake, it could be a hoax, or it could be Terry. Are there any other photos of Terry or Ron that we could match it up with? No offense, just looking for accuracy and verifiability. Regards, Chuckiesdad/Talk/Contribs 03:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Turns out it was Ron Schuetter after all. Well, it was 40 years ago!--Phyllis1753 (talk) 02:44, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Another birthday
Not that milestones should become millstones. I envisage you retreating to your garage with your guitars every so often and just bashing out some major riffs, and I think that would be worth witnessing. I wish you very well, and hope your own day was special for you. Regards, and as far is possible here, love to you. Rodhull andemu  02:00, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Could you help expand the Coe article?

Proposed deletion of Monnette Sudler
(Ignore this. There I was in the middle of adding refs to the article and I get tagged by some eager-beaver for not having refs. Jeez-louise!)

The article Monnette Sudler has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Claritas (talk) 17:05, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Go for it. Since the article has the one required source you may now remove the PROD and get on with it. Cheers. Rodhull  andemu  17:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, if you could add more information and citations from Newhart, we could collaborate and nominate it for A and FA. I haven't done anything more with it since I wrote it because I don't have any other sources besides Friedman. If Newhart gives ship histories, it would be nice to have additional citations to the relevant sections because the FAC people do not like DANFS (rightfully, as it tends to gloss over negative periods in the ship's or US history). — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  22:17, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Washington Cemetery (Washington Court House, Ohio)
Thank you for pointing out the error in the DYK hook. I wrote the hook, so I apologise; you'll note that the article text always said that he was the attorney general, so I obviously had a mental lapse when writing the hook after the article was done. Perhaps the biggest question is why it wasn't caught by the reviewer, but he's recently placed retired on his userpage, so I'll not bug him. Nyttend (talk) 02:03, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thanks for correcting it. I'm something of a history student of the inter-war era so that error leapt out at me. Cheers!--Phyllis1753 (talk) 16:08, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Miss you
It's been a long time since you've edited, and I wanted to say we miss you. Give the age of some of the photos you took and uploaded, you may no longer be on this Earth. If so, I pray you're in a better place, where we can meet someday. God bless you and your family. BilCat (talk) 19:48, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

RFC: El Cerrito High School
Hello Phyllis, I am looking over archival sources for El Cerrito High School, I saw that you edited the page way back in 2007. As far as I've seen, this is the only reference ive seen on the internet saying that ECHS was a WAP project. I'm wondering if theres any chance at all that you remember anything about where you heard that / got that information. Thank you!
