Hi, Do you fancy adding to the petrol-paraffin engine page? It's gone a bit quiet of late! Arrivisto ( talk) 14:23, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at GNU/Linux naming controversy. The edits which you reverted under "vandalism", were already explained on the talk page. Editing needs to be more constructive and respecting the natural point of view
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 41.224.74.65 ( talk) 00:22, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Could you revert the changes made to the airworthiness+military aviation pages? The review paper I referenced (Procedia Engineering journal, published by Elsevier) is the only available in the literature, covering military airworthiness frameworks' complexity. Also would be good to revert the changes you've made to other pages I edited - but you can remove the references (no need to repeat the reference to this paper, or if you feel that the reference to the other papers I have made is not appropriate that's perfectly fine)
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kourousis ( talk • contribs) 20:29, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
you may keep this change. military airworthiness is a different 'story' this should mentioned in an encyclopedia.

Hello, Im Bosscat65, the user who recently made changes to the Ryan Navion page. The current type certificate holder is Sierra Hotel Aero and their main business is the complete re-manufacturing and rebuilds of Navion aircraft. This is a fact. With that being said, I am just wondering why you think adding the Sierra Hotel Aero link under manufacturer seemed inappropriate. Is it because of the fact that it links externally to the sierrahotelaero.com website? What if I just link it to a SierraHotelAero wiki page or create an anchor point and link it to the bottom "External Links" section? Bosscat65 ( talk) 14:50, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Dear, We have crossed swords about the reliability of manufacturers' websites as an encyclopaedical source of reliable information. I never wanted to get engaged in open war so kept my trap shut, from a given point. Now that the skies are clear and peaceful, allow me to cite an example I believe to be strong and clear: I own and fly a three-axis ultralight plane called an Apollo Fox. This type has the option of folding the wings backwards, for hangarage or for transportation. According to the company website, <quote> Wing can be folded backwards. One pilote can do it within 10 minutes. </quote> This is the publicly available information which, as I understand, you would accept as having encyclopaedical value. I also have the "pilots and owners handbook", a legally binding document, but not publicly available, which states (page 6-15, "07-05-14 Edition 1") <quote> Folding and unfolding of the aircraft should be performed by two people as a minimum".</quote> . This seems nowhere atypical: websites are basically sales tools, giving as rosy a sight of the world as possible. Blatant untruths are not uncommon. You will excuse me to keep on warning against your apparent conviction that every website can be considered as having encyclopedical value. We need to be more critical than that - more's the pity. Kindly yours, Jan olieslagers ( talk) 15:37, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, according to BilCat's logic the Short Singapore should remain in the related development section unless you mean the Short Singapore is a development unrelated to the 'tin' F.5 in that it is more directly related to the Cromarty? Your view? 80.229.34.113 ( talk) 12:36, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
The reference in both articles is the same source, Barnes 1967, 167-8 Shorts Aircraft Since 1900, I do not have a copy to refer to. The F.5 article effectively states that the Short S.2 led to the order for the prototype Short Singapore - while the the Short Singapore article states, the Short S.5, was a metal hull version of the wooden-hulled Short Cromarty. It would seem that the Short S.5 hull was a development of the Short S.2 hull, and the S.2 (using F.5 wing and tail) a development of the F.5 so the Short Singapore is it seems a development of the F.5, but not a variant and in terms of appearance the Singapore seems to be influenced by the F.5. design. Is that sufficient to list the Singapore as a development of the F.5?

On my Flitfire, everything is original except the ignition was shielded and an antenna was installed so I can use a hand held. Even with an antenna, without shielded ignition, radio communication for me would be very noisy. Why remove the 1941 Cubs were not shielded when they were using the Lear Avia radios? I request for the data to stay. The airplanes were not shielded & had no antennas so it's a miracle they could communicate at all. Please let me know your objection to this data being included.

1. The United States may not have sided with Britain, despite its President's personal friendship with Winston Churchill, if this battle been lost. It was therefore a decisive turning point in World War II.
Battle of Britain
2. During this dark hour of the nation's history, its people derived a sense of pride and purpose from the somewhat romantic reporting of heroics in the air and from their Prime Minister's inspirational speeches.
Battle of Britain
3. It turned a tide of defeats and heartened the enemies of Nazism. Many of the heroes, too, were the ordinary women and men who, as Angus Calder put it, “The front line troops were doctors, parsons and telephonists ... where the bombs fell, heroes would spring up by accident.”
Battle of Britain
4. Winston Churchill summed up the effect of the battle and the contribution of the RAF in the immortal words: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" (speech to the House of Commons on August 20, 1940). Pilots who fought in the battle have been known as The Few ever since.
Battle of Britain
All above are taken from The New World Encyclopedia. I find reading it enjoyable.
This Battle & Churchill's speech are linked to Flitfires. Without the Battle, no speech, without the speech, no Flitfires.
So how do I take this to Wiki to ask for a 3rd opinion?
thank you

"None of that has much at all to do with the Flitfires." that is wrong. and about being more dramatic? tell that to the EAA, whose article also discusses this very point. ( http://eaavintage.org/the-flitfire-cub/)
so back to my question: how do I take this to Wiki for a 3rd opinion?? you took out an important point in the historical article. are you the final authority here. if not, please provide the answer so we can get a NEUTRAL THIRD OPINION. if you don't provide, that means you're biased. thank you

hey, ahunt, I work really hard on this article and you come along and just delete stuff. WTH? You have not contributed ONE REFERENCE... but you think you own this article. well, nobody does. so please do not edit this until we can get wiki's opinion. i am not going to do an edit war with you.
1) you won't "allow" the article to include churchill and his famous speech that initially influenced piper to support the RAF. and if i try discussing the black out curtains? well, you just don't like that at all and zap! it's gone -- no discussion.
2) as far as no money going to expenses and being unique. in this world, every charity has expenses. that piper could do this with 100% of the proceeds going to the RAFBF is very very unique. do you think i can get a citation that discusses the expenses of every charity and associated expenses? but since you don't think it's unique, you just delete it.
3) i added a picture of a spitfire mk II to show the exact airplane used in the battle of britain that the flitfire's colors are based on. maybe guys know what a spitfire looks like, but women may not. so i wanted folks to see it here. but YOU decide it's not necessary and *POOF* delete it. no discussion, you act like you're a dictator of this article. well, you're not.
i've been gone for awhile, and came back today and did a lot of work to add data to the article and you just come along and delete them. do you have any articles where you actually add data with citations? you would not be happy if someone who contributed no data did that to your work.
STOP doing this because we're not going to do an edit war. i'm a newbie but i know that much. you are acting like a wiki bully and i'm not going there with you. i'm going to email wiki and explain this problem and ask for their help.
you know i could respect this heavy handed attitude maybe a tiny bit if you would have contributed just one fact or one reference to this article. but you have not.
i hope this message is clear and i ask that you respect it. please stop editing this article until i can get wiki involved. i'll figure out how to get them onboard.

I'm sharing history with people. Hey Ahunt, go over to this page. Many of these entries have no citation. What's this double standard at Wiki?
/info/en/?search=List_of_surviving_Supermarine_Spitfires
The Spitfire guys have 106 references but list 236 planes. How do they prove their facts? Edit that because it should be the same rule for everyone. And I think those guys writing the Spitfire article are waaaay too big of Spitfire fans. Better go and check up on that too. They seem to like those airplanes too much to be writing about them.
You asked for reference that the 4 Flitfires were restored, which i thought was reasonable. So i posted the pictures showing they were restored. But again you unilaterally decide that's not good enough. I had all the FAA links as references but changed them to links because the reference list was then too long. but you decide that's not allowed.
and I've contacted Roger Peperell & Clyde Smith to get the list they gave me on their Piper Historian letterhead or something like that. If you don't know who those 2 guys are, then you simply don't know Pipers. so all of wiki & the world will not see the list because you might know who they are.
Ahunt, I asked you to temporarily stop deleting my work because I've contacted Wiki about this edit war you want to wage and am waiting to hear from them on this. You don't own the article either. And you've contributed exactly 0 facts or references to this article. i guess your job is to slash my hours of work.
Also, I guess writing about Churchill, Flitfires and blackout curtains are a big no-no because you've decided it's not appropriate for this article.
You're quite disrespectful and I'm contacting Wiki again. You've ruined hours of my work again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubgirl4444 ( talk • contribs) 20:50, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

The link in question, to http://libreofficeforum.org/, is a StackOverflow-style support forum staffed by volunteers and not a social media/chat venue. I believe it is a destination that frequently addresses the reasons readers consult this wiki entry. Given that information, do you still believe that WP:ELNO rules it out?

Hi, thanks for the correction you made on the Audacity (audio editor) page today.
I put that text there as I had had to replace the image as someone had swapped the default waveform view of Audacity recording on Windows to a Spectrogram view on Linux a couple of days ago. Spectrogram work is a miniscually small part of Audacity usage and Linux is our minority platform. The person who swapped the image changed the display text on the page - but obviously did not have the nous to change the text associated with the image.
The page already contained a spectrogram view further down the page which I added a while back.
I (as a newby Wikipedian, but very experienced Audacitarian) very much appreciate your guidance.

These are actions taken by the company, submitted to the FAA by the company, Icon Aircraft, signed by the CEO with supplemental data provided by the CTO to the FAA at their request. These are actions taken by officers of the company. The company, Icon Aircraft, petitioned the FAA and without doubt this pertains directly to the company. These are well documented facts that are clearly cited with leaders in the industry including the official Federal Aviation Administrations Exemption No. 10829 granting the temporary relief that expires on June 30, 2018.
I know you would like only positive things said about this company, but these are documented facts. By adding this information a complete well balanced picture is made available to the public. Not just a rosy picture of nothing but success that is portrayed now, but warts and all and I thing that is what the public deserves. If any information is incorrect please address it and I will gladly change it myself.''
On July 24, 2013 the FAA granted Icon Aircraft Exemption No. 10829. This allows for the exemption of the following regulations: §§ 21.181, 21.190, 43.7, 61.23, 61.31, 61.89, 61.303, 61.305, 61.315, 61.317, 61.321, 61.325, 61.327, 61.403, 61.411, 61.415, 61.417, 61.419, 61.423, and 61.429 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
[2] Page 1
More than half of the commenters were against the granting of the exemption, voicing strong safety concerns among others. The last sentence in the document states that, “This exemption terminates on June 30, 2018, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.”
[3] Page 17
Without further regulatory action this exemption will expire on June 30, 2018. At that time, all aircraft produced under this exemption would not be considered airworthy because they are too heavy to be a Light Sport Aircraft (hence the need for the exemption) by the FAA. FAR 91.203(b) states, "No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under § 91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew."
[4] Every aircraft produced under this exemption would be effectively grounded because it is legal to fly without a valid Airworthiness Certificate. According to the FAA “An airworthiness certificate is an FAA document which grants authorization to operate an aircraft in flight.” And must be carried in the aircraft at all times.
[5]
Under current law the only way an aircraft can be mass-produced and ready-to-fly, other than an ultra-light or Light Sport Aircraft is by manufacturing according to Part 21.24 or 23 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
[6]
Production under FAR Part 21.24 and FAR Part 23 both have many cost accelerators when compared to production under the Light Sport Category. The most noticeable are losing the benefits of being able to operate as a Light Sport Aircraft and losing this benefit would require a more advanced pilot’s license, FAA Medical, and compliance with maintenance requirements like annual inspections by an FAA certified aircraft mechanic etc.
The other repercussion of production under FAR Part 23 is the extraordinary cost associated with bringing an aircraft to market. Here is an example of what it cost to certify an aircraft under FAR Part 23. “At their worst, they are bafflingly complicated, shockingly expensive to comply with and seemingly arbitrarily enforced. I remember when Cirrus first moved to certify a new airplane, the SR20, nearly 15 years ago now, just how optimistic the company was about the process. Sixty million dollars and several years later, it had succeeded in passing the finish line and educating itself in the fiendish process that is certification.”

Wikiwings are the official award of WikiProject Aircraft. Styled after military flight wings, they are awarded to anyone who makes extensive, high-quality, or generally valued contributions to the area of aviation on Wikipedia. They can be awarded by anyone, to anyone, in a barnstar-like fashion.
The wikiwings award is modelled after Rlandmann's wikiwings award, and were officially adopted by WikiProject Aircraft on October 29, 2005.

Sorry, but your opinion of "obvious copyright violations on external websites" does not suffice here. Do you have any objective evidence that these videos are in breach of copyright legislation? If you don't, under what basis are you asserting thusly? Kezzer16 ( talk) 17:56, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
Throughout Wikipedia, there are articles about a variety of musical pieces with links to various Youtube pages. Many of these links have been up for some time without people asserting direct ownership of them. I don’t know if you understand how Youtube works, but you can’t just “solicit money” out of videos just like that, there is an automated process as well as admin controls that prevent copyright violations. To refer to the video in question, it says at the bottom “I recieve no monetary remuneration for my videos, those of you who like what I do can support me through”. So by definition, that individual is not soliciting money out of copyrighted material. If Wikipedia is open to law-suits so too is Youtube, yet some of the videos have been up for up to a year without Youtube (seemingly) having any issue with them; despite their far more strident copyright controls. Links are not required for an article, but they do provide some informative benefit for viewers. It goes back to what I said originally, unless you have some objective evidence that these videos are breaking the law, you have in my mind no basis to remove them on those grounds. If you have some disagreement with those particular videos in question, perhaps you would like to take the time to provide some more appropriate ones? Kezzer16 ( talk) 18:13, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

The Puma Aircraft is a Canadian aircraft, originally designed and named Pluto by the Italian designer Antonio Bortolanza in the mid-1980s. The Pluto was an Ultralight designed according to the European standard under ultralight regulation to meet the max takeoff weight of 990lbs. In 2005 BDC Aero Industrie Inc. redesign the aircraft size, structure, and make a systematic production procedure with quality control system to fit the North American market requirements for Canada and USA. Although the airplane resemble the Italian made, the new PUMA, has a complete new structure, components, interior, and it is engineered to have a max gross weight of 1320 lbs and 1420 lbs on floats. The Puma is equipped with Rotax 912 UL, 912ULS, 912iS, 914UL and currently produced by BDC Aero Industrie of Lachute, Quebec. The aircraft is only sold as factory build under three different categories: Light Sport Aircraft (U.S.A only) VFR day/night
Experimental (U.S.A only) VFR day/night, IFR Limited Class (Canada and other countries) VFR day/night, IFR Advanced UltraLight (Canada) VFR day only At the moment BDC Aero Industrie do not offer home build amateur construction [1][2][3]

Evening Ahunt, I was in our local library and had a look in JAWA 2016-16 for this company but they were not featured. They were also not in the 10 year look-back index. It may well be (and I should have checked) that JAWA does not do paramotors currently. Their attitude to gliders, homebuilts and the like has varied over the years.

dear ahunt, I am new at wikipedia and I appreciate all the advice I can get. at the moment I am trying to update the quadracycle article. it so happens that I am riding a quadracycle called 2-Rider (manufactured by pacific cycles) since 2011 now. I am very enthusiastic about this 4-wheel bike. not a lot of people know about its merits though, probably because it's name is hardly known. searching on wikipedia sites I have found some information about various more or less practical quadracycles but this bike is not listed at all. in my first attempt to just list the name I received your message, quote "We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Quadracycle, you may have a conflict of interest." well, yes I do have a relationship to this bike and I may be somewhat of an expert on the subject. just out of interest I have looked into the quadracycle page and I have found your name often and also found that you are riding the rhoades car that is pictured in this article. so obviously you don't have a conflict in interest writing about your bike. I would very much like to update the quadracycle article with a picture of what I consider is the best possible 4-wheel bike two-seater bike on the market right now and to have the 2-rider mentioned and since you seem to be editing this article I ask your assistance. thanks, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Ahunt&action=edit§ion=new# — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metallhase ( talk • contribs) 19:53, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
how can I answer? like this? please excuse, I'm new to wikipedia but already thrilled by how it works and eager to learn. the 2-rider is hidden on the new pacific cycle website, under adaptive bikes, which is a shame! here is the link http://www.pacific-cycles.com/Product/SpecialNeeds/2RIDER
I am not a distributor myself but I am helping in getting the produkt 2-rider publicly known. please check out the website of the austrian distributor, especially this page: http://www.2-rider.com/about-us.html. it gives you a little bit of background information. in my case I am maybe in a conflict of a conflict of interest. the 2-rider is a very good bike for 2 people who want to ride sitting next to each other but it is hardly known. even the manufacturer has placed it rather awquardly on his website. whereas other bikes like the rhoades car, the whike, the birdy... just to name a few have their own wiki article which are linked to their distributors. to my opinion, the quadracycle article is incomplete without mentioning the 2-rider. so please help me reference it, how do I do that?

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.

Could you revert the changes made to the airworthiness+military aviation pages? The review paper I referenced (Procedia Engineering journal, published by Elsevier) is the only available in the literature, covering military airworthiness frameworks' complexity. Also would be good to revert the changes you've made to other pages I edited - but you can remove the references (no need to repeat the reference to this paper, or if you feel that the reference to the other papers I have made is not appropriate that's perfectly fine)

Hello, Im Bosscat65, the user who recently made changes to the Ryan Navion page. The current type certificate holder is Sierra Hotel Aero and their main business is the complete re-manufacturing and rebuilds of Navion aircraft. This is a fact. With that being said, I am just wondering why you think adding the Sierra Hotel Aero link under manufacturer seemed inappropriate. Is it because of the fact that it links externally to the sierrahotelaero.com website? What if I just link it to a SierraHotelAero wiki page or create an anchor point and link it to the bottom "External Links" section? Bosscat65 ( talk) 14:50, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Dear, We have crossed swords about the reliability of manufacturers' websites as an encyclopaedical source of reliable information. I never wanted to get engaged in open war so kept my trap shut, from a given point. Now that the skies are clear and peaceful, allow me to cite an example I believe to be strong and clear: I own and fly a three-axis ultralight plane called an Apollo Fox. This type has the option of folding the wings backwards, for hangarage or for transportation. According to the company website, <quote> Wing can be folded backwards. One pilote can do it within 10 minutes. </quote> This is the publicly available information which, as I understand, you would accept as having encyclopaedical value. I also have the "pilots and owners handbook", a legally binding document, but not publicly available, which states (page 6-15, "07-05-14 Edition 1") <quote> Folding and unfolding of the aircraft should be performed by two people as a minimum".</quote> . This seems nowhere atypical: websites are basically sales tools, giving as rosy a sight of the world as possible. Blatant untruths are not uncommon. You will excuse me to keep on warning against your apparent conviction that every website can be considered as having encyclopedical value. We need to be more critical than that - more's the pity. Kindly yours, Jan olieslagers ( talk) 15:37, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ahunt. I just want to let you know that I have tagged File:NighthawkCrest.jpg and File:One-O-Wonder.JPG as possibly unfree files to discuss their respective licensing. I don't believe that taking a photo of a copyrighted image on a patch like these, even if you own the patches themselves, implies a transfer of the image's copyright from the original copyright holder to the photographer. The licensing of these files are being discussed respectively at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2015 July 7 so please feel free to comment if you like.

Hi there, according to BilCat's logic the Short Singapore should remain in the related development section unless you mean the Short Singapore is a development unrelated to the 'tin' F.5 in that it is more directly related to the Cromarty? Your view? 80.229.34.113 ( talk) 12:36, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
The reference in both articles is the same source, Barnes 1967, 167-8 Shorts Aircraft Since 1900, I do not have a copy to refer to. The F.5 article effectively states that the Short S.2 led to the order for the prototype Short Singapore - while the the Short Singapore article states, the Short S.5, was a metal hull version of the wooden-hulled Short Cromarty. It would seem that the Short S.5 hull was a development of the Short S.2 hull, and the S.2 (using F.5 wing and tail) a development of the F.5 so the Short Singapore is it seems a development of the F.5, but not a variant and in terms of appearance the Singapore seems to be influenced by the F.5. design. Is that sufficient to list the Singapore as a development of the F.5?

On my Flitfire, everything is original except the ignition was shielded and an antenna was installed so I can use a hand held. Even with an antenna, without shielded ignition, radio communication for me would be very noisy. Why remove the 1941 Cubs were not shielded when they were using the Lear Avia radios? I request for the data to stay. The airplanes were not shielded & had no antennas so it's a miracle they could communicate at all. Please let me know your objection to this data being included.

P.S. why the opposition to churchill? his speech nicknamed the RAF pilots "the few" and was the start of the tide of public opinion changing in USA about entering the war. it should be included and i'd like to reinsert the reference. thebanner guy was not complaining about that. he said article was too detailed & i had a COI because i own a flitfire & was sneaky about it.
i'd like to re-insert the reference to Churchill's speech & don't want to edit war over it. thanks....

1. The United States may not have sided with Britain, despite its President's personal friendship with Winston Churchill, if this battle been lost. It was therefore a decisive turning point in World War II.
Battle of Britain
2. During this dark hour of the nation's history, its people derived a sense of pride and purpose from the somewhat romantic reporting of heroics in the air and from their Prime Minister's inspirational speeches.
Battle of Britain
3. It turned a tide of defeats and heartened the enemies of Nazism. Many of the heroes, too, were the ordinary women and men who, as Angus Calder put it, “The front line troops were doctors, parsons and telephonists ... where the bombs fell, heroes would spring up by accident.”
Battle of Britain
4. Winston Churchill summed up the effect of the battle and the contribution of the RAF in the immortal words: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" (speech to the House of Commons on August 20, 1940). Pilots who fought in the battle have been known as The Few ever since.
Battle of Britain
All above are taken from The New World Encyclopedia. I find reading it enjoyable.
This Battle & Churchill's speech are linked to Flitfires. Without the Battle, no speech, without the speech, no Flitfires.
So how do I take this to Wiki to ask for a 3rd opinion?
thank you

"None of that has much at all to do with the Flitfires." that is wrong. and about being more dramatic? tell that to the EAA, whose article also discusses this very point. ( http://eaavintage.org/the-flitfire-cub/)
so back to my question: how do I take this to Wiki for a 3rd opinion?? you took out an important point in the historical article. are you the final authority here. if not, please provide the answer so we can get a NEUTRAL THIRD OPINION. if you don't provide, that means you're biased. thank you

hey, ahunt, I work really hard on this article and you come along and just delete stuff. WTH? You have not contributed ONE REFERENCE... but you think you own this article. well, nobody does. so please do not edit this until we can get wiki's opinion. i am not going to do an edit war with you.
1) you won't "allow" the article to include churchill and his famous speech that initially influenced piper to support the RAF. and if i try discussing the black out curtains? well, you just don't like that at all and zap! it's gone -- no discussion.
2) as far as no money going to expenses and being unique. in this world, every charity has expenses. that piper could do this with 100% of the proceeds going to the RAFBF is very very unique. do you think i can get a citation that discusses the expenses of every charity and associated expenses? but since you don't think it's unique, you just delete it.
3) i added a picture of a spitfire mk II to show the exact airplane used in the battle of britain that the flitfire's colors are based on. maybe guys know what a spitfire looks like, but women may not. so i wanted folks to see it here. but YOU decide it's not necessary and *POOF* delete it. no discussion, you act like you're a dictator of this article. well, you're not.
i've been gone for awhile, and came back today and did a lot of work to add data to the article and you just come along and delete them. do you have any articles where you actually add data with citations? you would not be happy if someone who contributed no data did that to your work.
STOP doing this because we're not going to do an edit war. i'm a newbie but i know that much. you are acting like a wiki bully and i'm not going there with you. i'm going to email wiki and explain this problem and ask for their help.
you know i could respect this heavy handed attitude maybe a tiny bit if you would have contributed just one fact or one reference to this article. but you have not.
i hope this message is clear and i ask that you respect it. please stop editing this article until i can get wiki involved. i'll figure out how to get them onboard.

I'm sharing history with people. Hey Ahunt, go over to this page. Many of these entries have no citation. What's this double standard at Wiki?
/info/en/?search=List_of_surviving_Supermarine_Spitfires
The Spitfire guys have 106 references but list 236 planes. How do they prove their facts? Edit that because it should be the same rule for everyone. And I think those guys writing the Spitfire article are waaaay too big of Spitfire fans. Better go and check up on that too. They seem to like those airplanes too much to be writing about them.
You asked for reference that the 4 Flitfires were restored, which i thought was reasonable. So i posted the pictures showing they were restored. But again you unilaterally decide that's not good enough. I had all the FAA links as references but changed them to links because the reference list was then too long. but you decide that's not allowed.
and I've contacted Roger Peperell & Clyde Smith to get the list they gave me on their Piper Historian letterhead or something like that. If you don't know who those 2 guys are, then you simply don't know Pipers. so all of wiki & the world will not see the list because you might know who they are.
Ahunt, I asked you to temporarily stop deleting my work because I've contacted Wiki about this edit war you want to wage and am waiting to hear from them on this. You don't own the article either. And you've contributed exactly 0 facts or references to this article. i guess your job is to slash my hours of work.
Also, I guess writing about Churchill, Flitfires and blackout curtains are a big no-no because you've decided it's not appropriate for this article.
You're quite disrespectful and I'm contacting Wiki again. You've ruined hours of my work again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubgirl4444 ( talk • contribs) 20:50, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi! You removed a link to the support forum that I had reinstated on The Document Foundation because I believed it had been deleted in error by another user while removing a link to a blog. You state in justification that "we don't link to forums on Wikipedia, just the official website" and pointed to WP:ELNO, but I was not able to find a section that directly addresses such a venue, only a prohibition of social media/chat venues. The link in question, to http://libreofficeforum.org/, is a StackOverflow-style support forum staffed by volunteers and not a social media/chat venue. I believe it is a destination that frequently addresses the reasons readers consult this wiki entry. Given that information, do you still believe that WP:ELNO rules it out? Is there a different location in the article you would consider more appropriate? If you prefer we could take this up on the Talk page. Thanks! ClareTheSharer ( talk) 12:44, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the correction you made on the Audacity (audio editor) page today.
I put that text there as I had had to replace the image as someone had swapped the default waveform view of Audacity recording on Windows to a Spectrogram view on Linux a couple of days ago. Spectrogram work is a miniscually small part of Audacity usage and Linux is our minority platform. The person who swapped the image changed the display text on the page - but obviously did not have the nous to change the text associated with the image.
The page already contained a spectrogram view further down the page which I added a while back.
I (as a newby Wikipedian, but very experienced Audacitarian) very much appreciate your guidance.

These are actions taken by the company, submitted to the FAA by the company, Icon Aircraft, signed by the CEO with supplemental data provided by the CTO to the FAA at their request. These are actions taken by officers of the company. The company, Icon Aircraft, petitioned the FAA and without doubt this pertains directly to the company. These are well documented facts that are clearly cited with leaders in the industry including the official Federal Aviation Administrations Exemption No. 10829 granting the temporary relief that expires on June 30, 2018.
I know you would like only positive things said about this company, but these are documented facts. By adding this information a complete well balanced picture is made available to the public. Not just a rosy picture of nothing but success that is portrayed now, but warts and all and I thing that is what the public deserves. If any information is incorrect please address it and I will gladly change it myself.''
On July 24, 2013 the FAA granted Icon Aircraft Exemption No. 10829. This allows for the exemption of the following regulations: §§ 21.181, 21.190, 43.7, 61.23, 61.31, 61.89, 61.303, 61.305, 61.315, 61.317, 61.321, 61.325, 61.327, 61.403, 61.411, 61.415, 61.417, 61.419, 61.423, and 61.429 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
[2] Page 1
More than half of the commenters were against the granting of the exemption, voicing strong safety concerns among others. The last sentence in the document states that, “This exemption terminates on June 30, 2018, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.”
[3] Page 17
Without further regulatory action this exemption will expire on June 30, 2018. At that time, all aircraft produced under this exemption would not be considered airworthy because they are too heavy to be a Light Sport Aircraft (hence the need for the exemption) by the FAA. FAR 91.203(b) states, "No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under § 91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew."
[4] Every aircraft produced under this exemption would be effectively grounded because it is legal to fly without a valid Airworthiness Certificate. According to the FAA “An airworthiness certificate is an FAA document which grants authorization to operate an aircraft in flight.” And must be carried in the aircraft at all times.
[5]
Under current law the only way an aircraft can be mass-produced and ready-to-fly, other than an ultra-light or Light Sport Aircraft is by manufacturing according to Part 21.24 or 23 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
[6]
Production under FAR Part 21.24 and FAR Part 23 both have many cost accelerators when compared to production under the Light Sport Category. The most noticeable are losing the benefits of being able to operate as a Light Sport Aircraft and losing this benefit would require a more advanced pilot’s license, FAA Medical, and compliance with maintenance requirements like annual inspections by an FAA certified aircraft mechanic etc.
The other repercussion of production under FAR Part 23 is the extraordinary cost associated with bringing an aircraft to market. Here is an example of what it cost to certify an aircraft under FAR Part 23. “At their worst, they are bafflingly complicated, shockingly expensive to comply with and seemingly arbitrarily enforced. I remember when Cirrus first moved to certify a new airplane, the SR20, nearly 15 years ago now, just how optimistic the company was about the process. Sixty million dollars and several years later, it had succeeded in passing the finish line and educating itself in the fiendish process that is certification.”

Sorry, but your opinion of "obvious copyright violations on external websites" does not suffice here. Do you have any objective evidence that these videos are in breach of copyright legislation? If you don't, under what basis are you asserting thusly? Kezzer16 ( talk) 17:56, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
Throughout Wikipedia, there are articles about a variety of musical pieces with links to various Youtube pages. Many of these links have been up for some time without people asserting direct ownership of them. I don’t know if you understand how Youtube works, but you can’t just “solicit money” out of videos just like that, there is an automated process as well as admin controls that prevent copyright violations. To refer to the video in question, it says at the bottom “I recieve no monetary remuneration for my videos, those of you who like what I do can support me through”. So by definition, that individual is not soliciting money out of copyrighted material. If Wikipedia is open to law-suits so too is Youtube, yet some of the videos have been up for up to a year without Youtube (seemingly) having any issue with them; despite their far more strident copyright controls. Links are not required for an article, but they do provide some informative benefit for viewers. It goes back to what I said originally, unless you have some objective evidence that these videos are breaking the law, you have in my mind no basis to remove them on those grounds. If you have some disagreement with those particular videos in question, perhaps you would like to take the time to provide some more appropriate ones? Kezzer16 ( talk) 18:13, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

The Puma Aircraft is a Canadian aircraft, originally designed and named Pluto by the Italian designer Antonio Bortolanza in the mid-1980s. The Pluto was an Ultralight designed according to the European standard under ultralight regulation to meet the max takeoff weight of 990lbs. In 2005 BDC Aero Industrie Inc. redesign the aircraft size, structure, and make a systematic production procedure with quality control system to fit the North American market requirements for Canada and USA. Although the airplane resemble the Italian made, the new PUMA, has a complete new structure, components, interior, and it is engineered to have a max gross weight of 1320 lbs and 1420 lbs on floats. The Puma is equipped with Rotax 912 UL, 912ULS, 912iS, 914UL and currently produced by BDC Aero Industrie of Lachute, Quebec. The aircraft is only sold as factory build under three different categories: Light Sport Aircraft (U.S.A only) VFR day/night

Ok Thank you BAI73 ( talk) 01:23, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
Evening Ahunt, I was in our local library and had a look in JAWA 2016-16 for this company but they were not featured. They were also not in the 10 year look-back index. It may well be (and I should have checked) that JAWA does not do paramotors currently. Their attitude to gliders, homebuilts and the like has varied over the years. Cheers, TSRL ( talk) 17:14, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
dear ahunt, I am new at wikipedia and I appreciate all the advice I can get. at the moment I am trying to update the quadracycle article. it so happens that I am riding a quadracycle called 2-Rider (manufactured by pacific cycles) since 2011 now. I am very enthusiastic about this 4-wheel bike. not a lot of people know about its merits though, probably because it's name is hardly known. searching on wikipedia sites I have found some information about various more or less practical quadracycles but this bike is not listed at all. in my first attempt to just list the name I received your message, quote "We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Quadracycle, you may have a conflict of interest." well, yes I do have a relationship to this bike and I may be somewhat of an expert on the subject. just out of interest I have looked into the quadracycle page and I have found your name often and also found that you are riding the rhoades car that is pictured in this article. so obviously you don't have a conflict in interest writing about your bike. I would very much like to update the quadracycle article with a picture of what I consider is the best possible 4-wheel bike two-seater bike on the market right now and to have the 2-rider mentioned and since you seem to be editing this article I ask your assistance. thanks, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Ahunt&action=edit§ion=new# — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metallhase ( talk • contribs) 19:53, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
how can I answer? like this? please excuse, I'm new to wikipedia but already thrilled by how it works and eager to learn. the 2-rider is hidden on the new pacific cycle website, under adaptive bikes, which is a shame! here is the link http://www.pacific-cycles.com/Product/SpecialNeeds/2RIDER
I am not a distributor myself but I am helping in getting the produkt 2-rider publicly known. please check out the website of the austrian distributor, especially this page: http://www.2-rider.com/about-us.html. it gives you a little bit of background information. in my case I am maybe in a conflict of a conflict of interest. the 2-rider is a very good bike for 2 people who want to ride sitting next to each other but it is hardly known. even the manufacturer has placed it rather awquardly on his website. whereas other bikes like the rhoades car, the whike, the birdy... just to name a few have their own wiki article which are linked to their distributors. to my opinion, the quadracycle article is incomplete without mentioning the 2-rider. so please help me reference it, how do I do that?
for further information please also read: http://www.2-rider.com/product-history.html thank you for your time and expertise. Metallhase ( talk) 16:48, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I've been editing the Aériane Swift page. I don't suppose you know where there are any usable photos that could be put on Wikimedia Commons? By the way, I see that one of the Barber Snarks caught fire in New Zealand and was destroyed. Very sad! Arrivisto ( talk) 17:46, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello Ahunt,
English is not my mothers tongue. So I have indeed a question. In the article is written: "Nevertheless, the Phantoms could not reach their target without a number of aerial refueling."
Doesn't the "refueling" need a trailing s?
