Can you enlighten me a bit as to the notability issues with respect to translated articles? Right now, every single article I've translated has been flagged like this. It makes me not want to bother translating other articles.
This article already existed on two other language versions of Wikipedia, and neither article has the notability notice.

Noted your reaction to bullet-points in the lede.

I put the reference in place for aircraft noise specification as you requested. However you also requested a reference for the absence of noise when aircraft are on their cruising altitude. I really don't think a reference for that is required as it is self-explanatory, from 10 Km you don't hear them, certainly not at any significant level. The point made is that noise (in dB) is all concentrated in a few minutes of the flight, take-off and landing. A quantity could be (dB*time)/distance. Over the entire flight this quantity is low for aircraft as opposed to ground transportation systems (except sea shipping). If you agree we can remove the "citation needed". -- Guppiebugs ( talk) 17:25, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello Ahunt, thanks for all your cooperation! I try to avoid having multiple whole refs in aircraft specs because it hampers its WP:Verifiability. For example, in Dassault_Falcon_5X#Specifications, there was 1 ref for the whole section (Flight, 2013) and when I found a source for its empty weight I added it with a direct inline citation (BCA, 2015). If you group together both on top, it makes it difficult for a reader to verify a statement, eg: from where comes the span? (Flight only) from where comes the empty weight? (BCA only) Faster Verification renders Wikipedia more credible. Thanks!-- Marc Lacoste ( talk) 07:19, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your recent revert to Douglas A-26 Invader. As with most aircraft in production at end of WW2, many A-26s were built but not accepted by USAAF, so counting aircraft is a minefield. Thompson book p. 45 gives a breakdown of 2452 aircraft built at Long Beach and Tulsa that were accepted, but exact serial ranges not clear. Further airframes are reported to have been completed, flown and sold privately or to French AF, perhaps the 51 difference from the 2503 quoted by Boeing (ugh) at [1], and others. Regret very busy archiving, little time to check/research/correct this subject. PeterWD ( talk) 08:10, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey |
Hey, not that shabby with Wikipedia very much. Mostly read. I wanted to say thanks, and that I like the work that has been done to the Hummingbird article, but a large amount of the information in there is incorrect. Ed Sweeney is actually my granddad, and my dad was also on the project. I've grown up with these so I've got experience when it comes to what they handle with.
Among them was his attempt for an electric model, he had the thought but he never went through with anything relating to actually flying them, mostly because it would kill the design points of it, and it would realistically require an entirely new airframe. Something he cannot do nowadays. I don't even believe he still has the airframe he was using for it anyway. As for sources, I'd like to try and piece together anything there is, and to make the article more developed. The Hummingbird is a beautiful and underrated ultralight, sad to see not many know of it compared to the Kolby or Lazair (mostly eLazair nowadays). I've also got some photographs I think lying around somewhere that could be used on the page so there's two and two to stick together, since there is a large lack of photographs of them around--and all have copyright.

Hi Ahunt, two days ago you've deleted my contribution to the article, claiming lack of sources. I could argue that I happen to work in the company and personally know Piotr Dudek for 30 years, but since this would be another usupported claim for you, I've attached a link to Dudek's website. You can find there confirmation on both Piotr role/history and my presence in the company. Hope this suffices.
JJR PL ( talk) 14:26, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ahunt, hopefully there is no conflict yet. If there is difference in views, I hope it can be resolved here. Definitely there was no "adding of promotional language" - that Piotr Dudek was instrumental in introducing the reflex aerofoil to the sport is a fact, not an advertisement, recognized by the international paragliding community with a prize handed at Basse-Ham in 2008. It was deliberate on my part no to claim that he invented it or owns all the glory - if you still find my language too suggestive, you are free to correct it, but please don't remove the facts.
Anyway all what I was trying to do was to complete the vital information that Piotr is the company's chief designer and add some credit to this. Presenting him as just a paragliding instructor and competitor was certainly not doing him justice. Tried to add some further details on Piotr - I know they can be treated as promotional, but they are also bare facts, so they belong to the wikipedia anyway. Or do they not? - JJR PL ( talk) 14:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

In the an-225 specs are mentioning the fuel capacity as 300,000 kg. The real weight of the max loaded fuel is 105,000 kg. Empty weight is 285 t Fuel capacity is 105 t Cargo capacity is 250 t That gives you the 640 t mentioned as max loaded weight. Thank you very much Mauriciopaul72 ( talk) 06:14, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
See the comments here.
I do have related question that might be better answered here. It's my understanding that most aircraft cannot carry their maximum payload and fuel load at the same time, and that the difference is based on the mission requirements. So, in specifications, is "cargo capacity" generally the maximum it is safely capable of carrying, other factors not withstanding? Meaning range/endurance would be very limited if carrying the maximum capacity. Sorry if this is a bit rambling. - BilCat ( talk) 17:51, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, I notice that you've been waging a war against those "twelve deadliest accident that happened to a green aircraft on a Tuesday" sort of statements, which are rather pointless, apart from the most essential statistics that are relevant in some cases. You said we have a "consensus not to do this" – where exactly is that consensus? I only ask out of interest, not that I disagree of course!
One article that you applied this rule to was Turkish Airlines Flight 981, where the lead had a very convoluted and statistics-hungry paragraph that you chopped out on 31 May. However, you didn't notice that further down the article, towards the end of the Aftermath section, it says the following:
"The death toll of 346 exceeded that of any previous aviation incident. Three years later, on 27 March 1977, 583 people perished in the collision of two Boeing 747s in the Canary Islands. Flight 981 remained the deadliest accident resulting from hull loss involving a single aircraft, until 12 August 1985, when 520 were killed in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123,[14] and the deadliest aviation accident with no survivors until the Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision of 12 November 1996 which killed 349 people. As of April 1, 2018, Flight 981 is still the deadliest single-plane accident with no survivors (4 survived JAL 123, as did 61 from Pan Am 1736 on Tenerife.), as well as the deadliest accident not involving a 747."

I know you have been here along time, but I do think it needs to be pointed out that subjects are not WP:N simply because you can find some specifications lists for a product. As an example, your page on the Mirage 30 contains two links to specifications lists (sailboatdata.com), one to the designer of the boat (not independent) and another to a specifications list. There is no in-depth coverage.
All manufacturers, from those who make screws and nuts to those who make sailboats, publish specifications. A specifications list is by definition not an independent source, as it is published by the article subject. It is also neither in-depth nor contributory to notability. All a spec list says is that something exists and is a certain size.
Do you understand what I am saying regarding the difference between basic published data and in-depth writing in reliable sources? 198.58.163.19 ( talk) 19:48, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
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. 2600:1003:B10A:3C56:247:1D74:200E:BA8 ( talk) 22:25, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

note on spruce goose |
my deleted comment regarding the HH Spruce Goose (Hercules) was not promotional. From all I have researched, the plane as owned by Jack Wrather and Disney did not allow visits to plane interior (Wrather added windows to pilot side to allow viewing in). Current owner Evergreen Museum does allow inside visits, but those may end as the plane ages (duramold's long term durability is unknown and it is currently kept in a non-air conditioned space). wikipedia is obviously not the way to inform viewers of this possibility.

It did exist, at least one example. Sailboat data won't list one-off boats which is why the C&C 62 and the C&C 67 aren't listed in their database. How about these reference for the C&C Custom 62? A couple "New Boat" announcements in Marine Perodicals:

Noted your reaction to bullet-points in the lede.

I put the reference in place for aircraft noise specification as you requested. However you also requested a reference for the absence of noise when aircraft are on their cruising altitude. I really don't think a reference for that is required as it is self-explanatory, from 10 Km you don't hear them, certainly not at any significant level. The point made is that noise (in dB) is all concentrated in a few minutes of the flight, take-off and landing. A quantity could be (dB*time)/distance. Over the entire flight this quantity is low for aircraft as opposed to ground transportation systems (except sea shipping). If you agree we can remove the "citation needed". -- Guppiebugs ( talk) 17:25, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello Ahunt, thanks for all your cooperation! I try to avoid having multiple whole refs in aircraft specs because it hampers its WP:Verifiability. For example, in Dassault_Falcon_5X#Specifications, there was 1 ref for the whole section (Flight, 2013) and when I found a source for its empty weight I added it with a direct inline citation (BCA, 2015). If you group together both on top, it makes it difficult for a reader to verify a statement, eg: from where comes the span? (Flight only) from where comes the empty weight? (BCA only) Faster Verification renders Wikipedia more credible. Thanks!-- Marc Lacoste ( talk) 07:19, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your recent revert to Douglas A-26 Invader. As with most aircraft in production at end of WW2, many A-26s were built but not accepted by USAAF, so counting aircraft is a minefield. Thompson book p. 45 gives a breakdown of 2452 aircraft built at Long Beach and Tulsa that were accepted, but exact serial ranges not clear. Further airframes are reported to have been completed, flown and sold privately or to French AF, perhaps the 51 difference from the 2503 quoted by Boeing (ugh) at [1], and others. Regret very busy archiving, little time to check/research/correct this subject. PeterWD ( talk) 08:10, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey |
Hey, not that shabby with Wikipedia very much. Mostly read. I wanted to say thanks, and that I like the work that has been done to the Hummingbird article, but a large amount of the information in there is incorrect. Ed Sweeney is actually my granddad, and my dad was also on the project. I've grown up with these so I've got experience when it comes to what they handle with.
Among them was his attempt for an electric model, he had the thought but he never went through with anything relating to actually flying them, mostly because it would kill the design points of it, and it would realistically require an entirely new airframe. Something he cannot do nowadays. I don't even believe he still has the airframe he was using for it anyway. As for sources, I'd like to try and piece together anything there is, and to make the article more developed. The Hummingbird is a beautiful and underrated ultralight, sad to see not many know of it compared to the Kolby or Lazair (mostly eLazair nowadays). I've also got some photographs I think lying around somewhere that could be used on the page so there's two and two to stick together, since there is a large lack of photographs of them around--and all have copyright.

Hi Ahunt, two days ago you've deleted my contribution to the article, claiming lack of sources. I could argue that I happen to work in the company and personally know Piotr Dudek for 30 years, but since this would be another usupported claim for you, I've attached a link to Dudek's website. You can find there confirmation on both Piotr role/history and my presence in the company. Hope this suffices.
JJR PL ( talk) 14:26, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ahunt, hopefully there is no conflict yet. If there is difference in views, I hope it can be resolved here. Definitely there was no "adding of promotional language" - that Piotr Dudek was instrumental in introducing the reflex aerofoil to the sport is a fact, not an advertisement, recognized by the international paragliding community with a prize handed at Basse-Ham in 2008. It was deliberate on my part no to claim that he invented it or owns all the glory - if you still find my language too suggestive, you are free to correct it, but please don't remove the facts.
Anyway all what I was trying to do was to complete the vital information that Piotr is the company's chief designer and add some credit to this. Presenting him as just a paragliding instructor and competitor was certainly not doing him justice. Tried to add some further details on Piotr - I know they can be treated as promotional, but they are also bare facts, so they belong to the wikipedia anyway. Or do they not? - JJR PL ( talk) 14:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

In the an-225 specs are mentioning the fuel capacity as 300,000 kg. The real weight of the max loaded fuel is 105,000 kg. Empty weight is 285 t Fuel capacity is 105 t Cargo capacity is 250 t That gives you the 640 t mentioned as max loaded weight. Thank you very much Mauriciopaul72 ( talk) 06:14, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
See the comments here.
I do have related question that might be better answered here. It's my understanding that most aircraft cannot carry their maximum payload and fuel load at the same time, and that the difference is based on the mission requirements. So, in specifications, is "cargo capacity" generally the maximum it is safely capable of carrying, other factors not withstanding? Meaning range/endurance would be very limited if carrying the maximum capacity. Sorry if this is a bit rambling. - BilCat ( talk) 17:51, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, I notice that you've been waging a war against those "twelve deadliest accident that happened to a green aircraft on a Tuesday" sort of statements, which are rather pointless, apart from the most essential statistics that are relevant in some cases. You said we have a "consensus not to do this" – where exactly is that consensus? I only ask out of interest, not that I disagree of course!
One article that you applied this rule to was Turkish Airlines Flight 981, where the lead had a very convoluted and statistics-hungry paragraph that you chopped out on 31 May. However, you didn't notice that further down the article, towards the end of the Aftermath section, it says the following:
"The death toll of 346 exceeded that of any previous aviation incident. Three years later, on 27 March 1977, 583 people perished in the collision of two Boeing 747s in the Canary Islands. Flight 981 remained the deadliest accident resulting from hull loss involving a single aircraft, until 12 August 1985, when 520 were killed in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123,[14] and the deadliest aviation accident with no survivors until the Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision of 12 November 1996 which killed 349 people. As of April 1, 2018, Flight 981 is still the deadliest single-plane accident with no survivors (4 survived JAL 123, as did 61 from Pan Am 1736 on Tenerife.), as well as the deadliest accident not involving a 747."

I know you have been here along time, but I do think it needs to be pointed out that subjects are not WP:N simply because you can find some specifications lists for a product. As an example, your page on the Mirage 30 contains two links to specifications lists (sailboatdata.com), one to the designer of the boat (not independent) and another to a specifications list. There is no in-depth coverage.
All manufacturers, from those who make screws and nuts to those who make sailboats, publish specifications. A specifications list is by definition not an independent source, as it is published by the article subject. It is also neither in-depth nor contributory to notability. All a spec list says is that something exists and is a certain size.
Do you understand what I am saying regarding the difference between basic published data and in-depth writing in reliable sources? 198.58.163.19 ( talk) 19:48, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
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. 2600:1003:B10A:3C56:247:1D74:200E:BA8 ( talk) 22:25, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
There is a difference between using the terms "aviation disaster(s)/incident(s)" and "aviation accident(s)": "disaster/incident" means that the cause does not matter and includes criminal acts, while accident only includes crashes caused by non-criminal acts, such as pilot error or a mechanical failure.

Hi Ahunt, I've semi-protected this talk page for a short period to stop an IP vandal from targeting it. Please let myself, or any other admin, know if you'd like the protection to be lifted or if you think it needs to be extended or reinstated if this continues. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 07:54, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
Ahunt, I've been working on improving the Executive airport article. Today, a user added two executive airports in Canada (which I mistakenly thought was vandalism!). I subsequently added one more in Canada, and one in the UAE. The only regulatory information in the article is about the FAA. Do you have any info on Canadian regulations that might be relevant? I'd also like to find a good reference for "executive airport" being a marketing term. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 00:11, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

note on spruce goose |
my deleted comment regarding the HH Spruce Goose (Hercules) was not promotional. From all I have researched, the plane as owned by Jack Wrather and Disney did not allow visits to plane interior (Wrather added windows to pilot side to allow viewing in). Current owner Evergreen Museum does allow inside visits, but those may end as the plane ages (duramold's long term durability is unknown and it is currently kept in a non-air conditioned space). wikipedia is obviously not the way to inform viewers of this possibility.

In the
HAL HF-24 Marut article, this sentence appears: HAL is claimed to have struggled to convince both the IAF and MoD that the design of the Marut was acceptable; much attention was given to the unacceptably high level of trail drag the airframe produced, as well as dissatisfaction with the Marut's speed and manoeuvrability, both of which were below IAF specification upon the aircraft's introduction.
(Emphasis mine. See
this edit for its location in the article.)
So, what is "trail drag", and where should this link to so readers can find an explanation? Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 22:12, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Note that "trail drag" doesn't appear in the Drag (physics) article, hence my question. - BilCat ( talk) 22:15, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Yup, another question. :)
A new photo diagram was added to the Closed wing article here. Is it really all that helpful? Quite frankly it's absolutely meaningless to me. It just makes my eyes glaze over, and I think the average reader will have the same reaction. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 22:20, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for teaching me about ref tags

Not much out there on these, perhaps only one or two built. Also it seems there may have been an earlier version, probably not a pilothouse, built in 1967, listed for sale in this magazine ad in Yachting in 1985:
This is the only other info I can find immediately: http://www.vehibase.com/c-c-custom-54/topic-138.htm
Neither find are reference worthy unfortunately. Ken Heaton ( talk) 14:54, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
It did exist, at least one example. Sailboat data won't list one-off boats which is why the C&C 62 and the C&C 67 aren't listed in their database. How about these reference for the C&C Custom 62? A couple "New Boat" announcements in Marine Perodicals:
Here is a brokerage listing, with a photo: https://books.google.ca/books?id=d5lRvsjiVjkC&pg=PT44&lpg=PT44&dq=%22C%26C+Custom+62%22&source=bl&ots=EQAFthfxJG&sig=HS1_xr_CDxaH1MdE09MrT4k9HI0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZ5r7jkMrdAhWmd98KHb4VBAgQ6AEwA3oECAEQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22C%26C%20Custom%2062%22&f=false
And a magazine ad, trying to find buyers for more I suppose: https://books.google.ca/books?id=CuJGBk-xQLEC&pg=PA13&lpg=PA13&dq=%22C%26C+Custom+62%22&source=bl&ots=hlfTBhsedc&sig=vM80X_-y-GE_2HAsT_xfr2n77wk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZ5r7jkMrdAhWmd98KHb4VBAgQ6AEwAXoECAMQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22C%26C%20Custom%2062%22&f=false

Ahunt, when you get a chance, could you look at the spelling changes in this edit? It's a Canadian series, but I don't know Canadian spellings well enough to discern if the US-based IP's changes are correct or not. I don't know a good Canadian English online dictionary site, so I thought I'd ask you for help. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 01:19, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
I could add external links to the various brochures for many of the various C&C models produced over the years as Stu has about 118 different ones online on the C&C Photo Album website and he did get clearance from the present and past owners of the C&C trademark to post them there. I think they would be helpful for each article.
