Please don't change these to REFs! This is going to be the new style moving forward, and for good reason, they are *much* easier to edit and keep working after multiple edits. You should try them, I've converted over entirely. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
...the heading is encyclopedic, its a quote from Henri Fabre. Seriouly, I was wondering about your edit comment about gushing language... all I could see were corrections of the many typos I make. More substaially The Bleriot biography by Brian Elliott makes no mention of either the cooling rain shower or o the telgraph wires (mentioned in the Bleriot biography account if not here) & describes the flight in some detail, including a dissection of varying accounts of whether the reporter with the flag was there (why let facts stand in the way of a good story. The idea of Bleriot himself telegraphing an American paper seems most implausible to me. Back to the coalface.TheLongTone (talk) 17:27, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
The date (Oct 1940) was specific to the P-64, which is just a development of the NA-50 - the date for first flight should be that of the NA-50, not that of a minor improvement to the original design (even if the page is labelled P-64). The P-51 page for instance lists the first flight as that of the NA-73X - not the actual P-51 which didn't appear until later. I just haven't found a date yet (it should have been in 1939 or before given the delivery of the NA-50s in 1939), and figured it was better to leave it empty until it was found than add a later date. The best I have so far is that the 7 Peruvian aircraft had all been flight tested by Feb 1939 (from the Hagedorn book) NiD.29 (talk) 07:46, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Please avoid WP:OWN with regard to this article. When a new guy comes in and tweaks the language in an article a bit, the edits don't require sources, and reverting on those grounds is just biting the new guy.

Mister Zuk,
I thank you pushing me to create my english WP user page. Done!
My french WP user page dates back to 2008.
I feel lucky having the opportunity to cross the road of a aviation enthusiast and multimedia author. For instance, I look forward to read your AVRO Arrow book, and educator too, among other centers of interest. Amazing, congratulations!
Former engineer in chemistry, I have been afterwards working as an IT expert. Now I also train computer users, and use my Linux/Free and Open Source Software skills for a living.
Regarding your to my simplification, your statement does not seem to apply.
I do not find where this statement "that is the typical endnote of the lede" would apply. As far as I can see: simple repetition of a death date three times with no added information is not "standard", and is not mandatory.
In case we agree, may I know when you would kindly cancel your revert? Or shall I do it?
--Philippe.petrinko (talk) 20:37, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
The P-51 article claimes in the lead that the 4,950 enemy aircraft shot down by Mustang pilots are "second only to the Grumman F6F Hellcat." The question begs, second only in what - planes shot down by USAAF? Planes shot down by allies? It couldn't be planes shot down by any type of plane, as - while I didn't actually do the math - the Bf-109 is bound to have a higher number of enemy planes downed.
Since the statement was not sourced, I did a "best guess" qualification, limiting the statement to Allied forces (which is very likely doing the Spitfire a disfavor, but without sources I couldn't do better). You reverted that edit, claiming that the statement were clear because it said "enemy aircraft". I am somewhat dumbfounded by that comment. Do you care to elaborate why the word "enemy" makes the statement clear? -- DevSolar (talk) 17:04, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Bzuk, the following sentence from Tora! Tora! Tora! doesn't make sense:

Thank you for taking the time to add the detailed citations to the Tora! Tora! Tora! article.

Hi Bzuk, We can talk about the stylistics on the article's page. My major issue is that your manual formatting is sometimes wrong for the type of citation being used. Since Wikipedia now makes it easy to use the most frequently used citation templates with a pull-down menu, I would suggest you start using this time-saving device. It also means that the citation is following the format that Wikipedia feels is the appropriate one for the content. As for date formatting, I always prefer to use the digital year-month-day format in citations as it is easier to type multiple times, and takes up significantly less space than fully spelled-out months; and that format is allowed for in citations while not conflicting with the WP rules around time/date in the main article.--Abebenjoe (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
It seems that the formatting that you disagree with is not so much my inclusion of commas or periods within quotation marks — these aren't added by me, but automatically by the template — but with Wikipedia's templates themselves. My experience with editing Wikipedia is that templates are to be trusted, because they are what was agreed upon at some point by some consensus process. I am not saying you are wrong, because I have run into similar issues with Canadian politics: common academic and Elections Canada terminology or formats not being used. I have had to conform to WP's sometimes unique styles or rules, as I am sure you have as well, since you have written some admiral books on the Avro Arrow, that would be considered original research (a good-term in academia, but verboten by WP standards). My academic friends complain about WP for precisely these kinds of things. In the end, WP uses its own version of grammar and style, and I just follow that.
As for the dating schema, in the main article, I prefer how it is: day-month-year. However, I do have to disagree about using that style in the citations, as it is now fairly standard in WP to use full-year, two-digit month, and then two-digit day (YYYY-MM-DD). As I spend much of my time fixing citation formatting, I rely on this efficient style because it is much easier to edit. As I have said previously, it is also more compact. Many, albiet minor, mistakes keep appearing when you manually type citations: missing a bracket, missing one format control character, etc. (I make these mistakes all the time too, but significantly less so when utilizing templates). I write frequently about aerospace subjects as well, so the dating format that I use for citations is quite common, and also prevents the usual disagreements about full-date formats between North Americans and the rest of the English-speaking world in terms of what the correct order is (to a point, a user can set this in their preferences). The auto-date-conform does not always work, and at one time, WP autocorrected the date from YYYY-MM-DD to the full-date format the user wished, but apparently doesn't anymore. That's why I use the date style that I do, and why I think that should be the style used for the article's citations.--Abebenjoe (talk) 01:19, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
P.S. I've read your 2004 Arrow book, about six-years ago, and thought is was very good. What if any opinions do you have about Peter Zuuring's plans to rebuild a functioning Arrow, which I assume fell through, as I was at Baddeck on 22 February 2009, and it was only F-18s and an F-86 performing the fly-by?--Abebenjoe (talk) 01:19, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
P.S.S. I knew the late Brian McInnis. He was a researcher with the CBC in the late '70s and worked on the documentary There Never Was an Arrow. He mentioned to me that he managed to contact the RCMP in Montreal, by pretending to be an RCMP agent, and was told that the RCMP and the Canadian military were hiding an Arrow, which Brian guessed was RL-206. When Brian asked for the location, the officer then suspected he wasn't who he claimed to be and clammed up (I've been on and off the phone for the past hour so this may not be as coherent as it should).--Abebenjoe (talk) 01:19, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Kindly don't do this sort of thing: ref/cite links. It's unhelpful. That broke all the links to the citations. I saw you do this on John A. Macdonald, where you reverted it. Alarbus (talk) 02:35, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
{{sfn}}
template hasn't been rewritten recently; the last change was in September 2011, and was trivial (it allows |loc=
to coexist with either |p=
or |pp=
); the last unreverted non-trivial change was in December 2009 (to make the year optional instead of mandatory). It's included periods since this edit in June 2009 and they've been there ever since. {{Harvnb}}
, by contrast, has never included a period - every now and then, somebody asks for it to be added but the request is always overturned, because that would introduce a double period to those articles where a perid has been added manually. Besides setting up a link for {{sfn}}
, the{{citation}}
template also exports COinS metadata, which handcrafted citations rarely do. MOS:DATEUNIFY permits either of two date formats in prose, but requires consistency, and publication dates in refs should follow the same format; access dates in refs may either be the same format as the pub date, or YYYY-MM-DD. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:25, 28 February 2012 (UTC)Replied at Wikipedia talk:Citation templates#Luddite comes forward. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 22:10, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

In this edit, I've you added the headings ";Notes" and ";Bibliography". I've removed ";Notes" because notes can be confused with explanatory notes.
I have removed ";Bibliography" because the reference style did not use a referencing style that aided the editor because there was a very long list of references, which is what the section ==Bibliography== would contain, while ==References== would include a "56. ^ Smith 1936" style.Curb Chain (talk) 07:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I brought back the cite coding you reverted. Here is why. I wish one day citation styles could selected in user's preferences and wiki could serve different styles to its users, separating formatting from content. Coding references using wiki templates is a small step into that direction. The style generated is not always to my personal taste. I don't like "&" neither in wiki harvard style citation style. Changing the wiki cite format would be welcome but an individual page is not the ideal place to discuss this issue. Hope this makes my point clearer--Alberto Fernandez Fernandez (talk) 08:40, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
That's exactly what the article says. I wrote that the State Department identified the landing gear in the photo as being that of an Electra. Here's what the article says: "But investigators took a new look at it in 2010 and, when their suspicions were triggered, had the photo checked by U.S. State Department experts. In a blind review, they determined the component in the picture is the landing gear of a Lockheed Electra." Am I missing something? ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 16:11, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello Bzuk! I'm an Italian user, most active in the WikiProject Aviation of the Italian Wikipedia. I'm writing to you for you've welcomed me some time ago and for I've seen you're quite into aviation. Hope I'm not bothering you...
I haven't been editing the English Wikipedia very much so far, except for small corrections, but recently I started a collaboration with an Italian aviation museum (kinda GLAM-Wiki stuff) and, after writing the article about the museum in my native language, I tried to write the English article too. I just finished the translation, it's in my sandbox. I don't think that moving an article with good contents and referencing but written in poor English into the main namespace could be regarded as vandalism, but still I would be extremely grateful if you could give a look to my translation, and make some corrections where needed, before I "publish" it. Just if you have time to do that, and with no hurry at all. Thank you very much :) With friendly regards, --M.L.WattsAir Mail ✈13:28, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

There are multiple problems with the submission, not the least being a rough translation from Italian.
As i wasted some hours in order to write that paragraph, i'd expect that you would waste some more lines to explain where and what are the 'multiple problems' with this submission. I know that i should quit to edit, but the (not exactly gently) wikipedian behauvoir is still surprising me. I did not wrote that GWB is gay, what was the point to make such straight counter-editing? Do you realize that this attitude (not talk about the Swiss Hunter last month) is really boring?
Maybe you and others should understand that even if Wikipedia is respectable, Wikipedians are not less respectables, instead to handle them as crap everytime.
Ps in the CF-104 article i still fail to see any mention of an RWR, as i tried to add only to be reverted by you. 5 years ago and after one year ban this information (and others) still is lacking. 'for the sake of Wikipedia' i imagine.Stefanomencarelli (talk) 16:00, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for tweaking the Alex Henshaw page. I had some rude comments from an anonymous contributor who doesn't seem to understand the difference being being "pilot in command" of an aircraft and handling the controls. You rightly pointed out that "pilot in command" is an official status, adding a reference.
I've amended your edit slightly removing the words "although he did fly at times, with others." I see what you're getting at, but this could refer to anyone who flies as a passenger. To clarify this issue I've added a reference to his rides in a two-seater Spitfire, when he was sometimes able to handle the controls. I think this is what the edit-war contributor had in mind.
The point I was trying to make when I made my original contribution was that Alex suddenly gave up flying at the age of 37, which is remarkable considering this had filled his life for the previous 16 years. I thought that the addition of the word "officially" detracted from this point, and means nothing as you cannot be "unofficially" the pilot in command. This is why I reverted.
I might add that I have a special knowledge of this subject as producer of the TV biography on Henshaw. I am one of the few people to have seen his original log book entries.

So who are you, the President of the Charles Lindbergh Fan Club? As A. Scott Berg notes in his book, "Lindbergh," Charles Lindbergh, even after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, expressed regret that white people had to be divided in the conflict. Simply because he fought in the armed forces does not necessarily mean that he "supported" the war. If Lindbergh did anything more than what his duty as a citizen required, then there needs to be verification of that in the article.John Paul Parks (talk) 07:14, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 20, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegateDabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
C. D. Howe (1886–1960) was a powerful Canadian Cabinet minister of theLiberal Party. He is credited with transforming the Canadian economy from agriculture-based to industrial. Born in Massachusetts, Howe moved to Nova Scotia as a young adult to take up a professorship at Dalhousie University. After working for the Canadian government as an engineer, he began his own firm, and became a wealthy man. In 1935, he was recruited as a Liberal candidate for the Canadian House of Commons by then Opposition leader Mackenzie King. The Liberals won the election in a landslide, and Howe won his seat. Mackenzie King appointed him to the Cabinet. There, he took major parts in many new enterprises, including the founding of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Trans-Canada Air Lines. When World War II began in 1939, Howe played a crucial role in Canada's war effort, and recruited many corporate executives to serve in wartime enterprises. Howe's impatience with the necessity for parliamentary debate of his proposals won him few friends, and he was often accused of dictatorial conduct by the Opposition. In the 1957 election, Howe's actions and policies were made an issue by Opposition leader John Diefenbaker. He lost his seat in the election, and Diefenbaker became Prime Minister, ending almost 22 years of Liberal rule. (more...)

Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!
Dear Buzuk, I don't know what will happen. But you know all those Popular Science and Popular Mechanics references I posted in aviation articles that you followed up and cleaned up with the correct citation format? Well they might all be deleted. It seems a Wiki Fanatic with roll back authority says it is against Wiki Policy to use googlebooks to cite an old publication page(s) for a reference. And this guy makes is clear that he/she is on a mission for Gawd to make sure all Wikipedia articles comply 100% with Wikipedia policy -- no exceptions. JEEZ! If they say you can't use the FLIGHT archives internet databases, it will gut the aviation articles. Jack--Jackehammond (talk) 14:57, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Good Day, Sir or Ma'am.
Your point is well taken re current B18 operators. However, if you would click on the active links of the civilian operators (at least for the Canadian ones that keep getting edited out), you'll see that there still are current operators of the B18. (Including myself - ref: timetravelair.com)
My concern is that there isn't a definitive list (as of yet) saying who operated what and when. And, my understanding is that this is a page referring to the current and historical operation of the B18.
That's why I'm trying to post the list of B18 operators.

Hi Bzuk, I had intentionally stated that Amelia was the first to cross the Atlantic in an 'airplane' as the British dirigible R34 made the first Atlantic passenger flight by air in 1919. However I searched for a passenger list indicating any women aboard R34 during the dirigible's Atlantic flight(Westbound or Eastbound) and I can't find a passenger list. So for now we can take it for granted Amelia was the first woman to cross in an 'aircraft'. If anyone discovers an R34 passenger list with a female aboard then the Amelia miniseries article can be amended as such. Thanks again, happy editing.Koplimek (talk) 00:19, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Gregor FDB-1 test.jpg. 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.

Also, just for clarification sake, can you verify the copyright status of the image?

You re-added the statement "Of the four pioneering wide-body aircraft (Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10, L-1011 and Airbus A300/A310 family), the Lockheed L-1011 had an admirable safety record.". The reference cited doesn't say that. Given the context, such a statement would have to have a comparative value, and "Admirable" doesn't actually say anything meaningful. To add such a statement, you would need to find a reference comparing the safety records, as opposed to one which shows hull-loss rates in isolation.Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 16:29, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

I thought "Cite book" template was the best way to write a bibliography (this allow bots to make update or something else avoiding mistake(s)) that the way we use in many wikis. As I translate some articles to improve french wiki i've supposed my work could be valuable to the english one. But it is not a good idea. So I will use the "talk page" when i'll notice something that could be inproved.
For example in the page Boeing B-29 Superfortress line :
Willis, David. "Boeing B-29 and B-50 Superfortress". International Air Power Review, Volume 22, 2007, pp. 136–169. Westport, Connecticut: AIRtime Publishing. ISSN 1473-9917. ISBN 1-880588-79-X.
should be : David Donald, International Air Power Review, vol. 22, Westport, Connecticut, AIRtime Publishing, 2007, 174 p. (ISBN 1880588935)(ISSN 1473-9917), p. 136–169. because accordining to amazon 1-880588-79-X refers to Russian Military Aviation Directory Volume 2: Strategic Bombers, Maritime Aircraft, Special Operations Aircraft, Trainers, Airborne Weapons, Organizat witch is not the right book.
makining a search with title an author I've found author's first-name is not good and isbn # is wrong I've fixed french wiki 'no action' to others.

I see you reverted a number of my changes of the word "deactivate" with relation to USAF units to "inactivate." I have restored them and wondered why you went to the trouble to do this.
Inactivate is the appropriate term when referring to an organizational action regarding USAF units. Deactivate is not an appropriate term in this context. Discussions of organizational terms for USAF units are in Maurer, Maurer, ed. (1983) [1961]. Air Force Combat Units of World War II (PDF) (reprint ed.). Washington, DC: Office of Air Force History.

A very good day to you. This is a request for advice: I'm asking you because, inter alia, you're thes last editor to do anyting to this article & I assume it's on your watchlist. As you know, I've contibuted substantially to the arti cle as it stands &therefore take an interest in it. So I'm slightly concerned over the cite tags that have recently been added, particularly as I made a concerted effort to cite it adequately a couple of months back. It seem to me that most of the tags are on uncontentious statements: for instance there is one tag in the final fight section that could either be adressed by moving a cite from the middle of a para to the end, or by including cite to probably the next page of the same book. Which seems stupid. The only statement which to my mind really needs a cite is the statement about getting the engines to run in reverse with a simple camshaft modification. I'd put this in, but i've returned Masefield, the major source, to the library. I guess the basic question is can I simply remove tags?TheLongTone(talk) 16:49, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

I just reprotected Cat Creek, Montana due to the sockpuppetry returning after the last protection expired. I was reading over the article checking to make sure no vandalism slipped through and I noticed that when you expanded the article, you added mountain lionsto the wildlife section. I checked the sourcethat you provided and I see mention of all of the animals except the mountain lion. Unfortunately, the source I read is a scanned image, so I can't search and perhaps I missed it. Can you point me to the paragraph that you got it from? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:57, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Finally I have some time to start a major overhaul of this article, with the objective of making it a GA at least. Any comments are welcome; cheers ◆Min✪rhist✪rian◆MTalk 23:59, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
Regarding your edit and summary, what was contentious about my edit? The link goes to Lothar Sieber where it says "It is assumed that during the vertical drop, with the engine firing, Sieber inadvertently also became the first human to break the sound barrier." Nowhere does it say "There have been claims advanced that Luftwaffe test pilot......."That's why I changed it to assumption. I faithfully and accurately reflected what our other article says.Moriori (talk) 00:08, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
Sorry but you are INCORRECT. It is not I who am engaged in anything other than making reasonable and accurate corrections. Now, as to you: Your message on my talk page is threatening and uncalled for. Please do not threaten me again, it is really not the way to go about things and is infact quite childish and unproductive. Have a nice day. =//= Johnny Squeaky 23:53, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you editedThe Iron Petticoat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sidney James(check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.

William,
I've doing research on the P-59 and the first flight was April 6, 1938, not 1939. I tried correcting the other day, but my edits weren't saved.

Bzuk, Joepa and a couple other editors are trying to bring this article on LeMond up to Good Article status, and one thing we need to do is split off a section. Do you know of an administrator that might be able to help us with this? Thanks. Gunbirddriver (talk) 20:30, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Bzuk, you've accidently started this user page in article space. You may want to move it toUser:Bzuk/Sandbox/New Article start 2 ;) Regards, Nick-D (talk) 01:08, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Had a little holiday fun with the above article - without any false modesty I think it is rather improved now, at least it is no longer a "stub"!! Do you suppose anyone would like to assess it?--Soundofmusicals (talk) 05:12, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
Thx so much. Consider this (one of the country's lesser-known exports, but probably more appreciated thanCeline Dion, & better known than Roch Voisine ;p ) my contribution to your season party of choice.

Hi, Is that definitely the way to go? I only ask because a while back I was told otherwise on a FA review and I'd hate to start adding something that would just have to be changed again eventually. Thank you for your constructive edits.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 09:20, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

The article has been moved to its correct title per the consensus that emerged at the discussion. IMHO, WP:UE doesn't apply in this case. I'll leave you to clean up after the move. Mjroots (talk) 18:05, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
