Greetings Adam! I see you have created many Userboxes, and generously offer to create more if people ask nicely! We have a number of Userboxes for use by Wikipedians who are in, or a member of, an organisation. One example is "Category:Wikipedians in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers".
We don't have a Userbox for Wikipedians in The Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeSoc) so I am asking if you are interested in creating one. If one is created I will add it to my User page.
We have some Userboxes for Wikipedians who are members of something eg "Category:Wikipedian members of the Institute of Physics" but I would discourage this terminology because in the RAeSoc a Member is a specific grade, along with Fellow, Associate. There are members who aren't Members! Hence my suggestion of terminology avoiding the word "member".
The current logo for the RAeSoc is visible in the infobox at Royal Aeronautical Society. If you are able to harvest that image it would be the perfect thumbnail in the Userbox.
Absolutely no urgency on this one. The Society has been in existence since 1866 so that is 156 years without a Userbox. (What were they doing in 1866? Hot air balloons!) Many thanks. Dolphin ( t) 05:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Since you got my article deleted (2022 Longmont mid-air collision) please tell me the cutoff for what constitutes a notable plane crash. im trying to get more involved in plane crash articles and this only serves to confuse me. Because I see many articles for small planes. Thanks, Smuckers It has to be good 21:02, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
The reason I removed the image is that that editor keeps IP hopping, adding pictures just for the sake of it or replacing logos with wrong/made-up/old ones (you reverted one of their IPs early in the article). I try to not just plain revert them, because sometimes (rarely) their changes are neutral/technically OK as it seems to be the case in that article as you say. I didn't know about that exception on images for that particular infobox, and, to be honest, every infobox has arbitrary rules (pictures or not pictures, icons or not icons, and so on), so it's difficult to keep up. However, I'll take note of your clarification for future edits. Regards. Urbanoc ( talk) 00:19, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
a lot of your recent new sailing articles are not growing their own wikidata entries and require starting - which is why you get the short descrips.. I got lost in the trains horrible backlog this evening, massive amounts of where arts have the project tags but no effort to fill in the gaps...sigh....so it goes - trust all is well JarrahTree 15:12, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
I saw you did some cleaup on the Project Schoolflight article a while back. The same editor expanded an article for the EAA Biplane and I thought it could benefit from your expertise as well. I started working on it myself, but I figured you could do a better job. – Noha307 ( talk) 20:37, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Are you able to check the registration on this helicopter? There's a question of whether it's a 222 or 230. Thanks. BilCat ( talk) 02:38, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
N224LL is Not Assigned/Reserved, Deregistered Aircraft: Nonewhich indicates that not only is there no current aircraft with that registration, there never has been. That is very odd, as a general internet search shows many records for it, like this one that says it is a Bell 222U, serial number 47552 and was also registered as N74SP. The FAA registry has N74SP and confirms it as a 222U. I have no idea why the earlier registration is not showing up at least as a previous registration. The "LL" suffix shows it as having been part of the Lifelink fleet (Air Methods Corp), so perhaps it is a block assigned to that company, although it should still show up as "previously assigned" in the FAA records. The commons Flickr source file says "Taken on August 17, 2008" and the FAA record for N74SP says it was registered under that "N" number in 2018. I can only conclude it is an FAA database glitch. Regardless, to answer your question, it is Bell 222U! - Ahunt ( talk) 12:52, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

As a kid I learned to sail on 2 International 14’s my Dad owned. The second he bought in about 1957 when I was 7 yo. I know 1st hand it was an O’Day built boat. But I have nothing other than my memory of Dad stating it was an O’Day built boat, <and> of the O’Day manufacturer’s tag on the mast step as documentation. I doubt O’Day built many 14’s, as it was a relatively heavy early ‘glass 14, and not very competitive with the lighter wood 14’s of the time. By the time US 599 was sold in 1965, I often sailed it with friends and knew every inch of her.
I still have a photo of the boat. Rufusbob ( talk) 01:30, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
I ran across an odd phrase here, which I've tagged for clarification. The phrase is "a curious prop-to-port/turboprop-to-starboard configuration", which is very unclear. Do they mean the installation is slightly skewed to one side, with both engines being skewed in the same direction, rather than both being toed outward or inward? Typically, the entire paragraph is unsourced. Thanks. BilCat ( talk) 21:26, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry that I didn't leave you a note before regarding the change I made to a citation to an article by Sparky Barnes (that you then reverted back - understandably). Sparky's legal name is now (and has been for some time) Sparky Barnes. She has asked her close friends to assist in ensuring that her online presence states her correct name, rather than the old. I'm assisting her with the citations in Wikipedia. Many of the companies that accept her articles have now updated all past references to her old name. The reason for the change is to ensure that when Sparky's name is searched for in Wikipedia, it's correct, rather than the old. Again, sorry for not leaving a note earlier. The last time I edited a Wikipedia article was 15+ years ago and things have change. 42Fathoms ( talk) 14:46, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Adam, I found this photo last night while tracking down another one from the same archives, René Francillon Photo Archive on Flickr. I tried to upload it to Commons, only to discover it's already there! It looks like all the photos from that archive are on Commons, but they're under C:Category:Photographs by SDASM Archives (check needed). So I've been trolling through the Flickr archive for more rare photos, as it's easier to see them there.
The CL-41R didn't enter production, but I haven't been able to find anything more about what happened to it. Sometimes aircraft with noses like that become radar testbeds, so I'm curious. BilCat ( talk) 22:12, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

This is yet another why I prefer the terms unsourced "manned and unmanned aircraft":
"Unscrewed" aircraft? Really? I'm surprised it wasn't "crude and unscrewed aircraft". (FlightGlobal needs to hire better proofreaders! Or stop relying on computer spellcheckers. I wonder if they take Americans.) BilCat ( talk) 01:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
Yet another reason to prefer."manned" over "crewed": [ https://www.flightglobal.com/helicopters/kai-in-contract-to-develop-mum-t-for-light-armed-helicopter/151183.article "manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T)" vs "crewed-uncrewed teaming (CUC-T)".

Hey Adam, that IP you reverted on the Concorde here is that LTA who locates to the Seattle metro area. I first ran into them about 6-8 years ago. Their edits are mostly indistinguishable from vandalism, and generally focused on Russian articles, usually aircraft, tanks, and orthodox churches! I've never actually had a response from them, so I assume they're one of these LTAs that we got a lot of that are obsessed with certain topics, but have some sort of mental or developmental issues that preclude communication with others. Feel free to revert on sight if you see one of these, as they usually involve date additions or changes that aren't correct, or make some sort of odd claim to being first at something, or some odd comparison to a similar Russian product, as with this one. Sometimes they get even weirder, such as giving odd nicknames for Russian aircraft by pilots or stewardesses (really!), often with mention of the Soviet counterpart to the Wizard of Oz, or something to do with Stepan Bandera! User:Nigel Ish also reverted their edits from the day before on some Russian aircraft articles, and they are the usual type of edits they make to aircraft articles. Thanks.

Hi, you remove my addition to /info/en/?search=Bell_47 Then I found that the "talk" section of the article have already this information! So I'd like to understand why there is a section about appearances in media if it must remain empty ? There is a link to "fiction" but nothing about "real" even, weird that the interesting section is hidden in "talk". I think it's a bad thing to keep a wiki entry just as if it was a plain boring technical spec, If it must be a boring technical spec, it can be a better option to remove "media" and left the only link to the "fiction" section. -- Rag.lien ( talk) 22:58, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
I saw you reverted on Talk:International reactions to the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 shootdown for duplicating archives. Now I suppose that's true, but given the auto-archiving was added by a sockmaster to conceal their past editing and that the page is less than the 50-75k norm for archiving, restoring the content seems appropriate. The stray archives can be blanked, redirected, or just ignored until needed. Arguably they could also be G6'd or G5'd, but wasting admin time that way seems kind of pointless since the page titles are not inherently inappropriate. Further current practice is to avoid fragmentation and autoarchive settings of less than 50k are quite unusual present day, so if we were archiving we would consolidate it all to just one page. Anyway, appreciate your thoughts here. 74.73.224.126 ( talk) 04:00, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi nice to hear from you.. I am sailing presently and am able to do a few edits here or there. I hope you don't mind the edit on Jibing. How do you write an article on this topic that is readable and meets standards? Beats me on how to approach the problem, if you want to team up on something let me know. Anyway - I jibe all the time - it really comes in handy.
The only way to maneuver was to close even further with the oncoming boat and then jibe.
It came in real handy to be able to execute a jibe smoothly and without thinking about it.

Why are you vandalizing WP with edits like https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=LXQt&diff=1127483359&oldid=1127483112 ? Can't you go somewhere else, outside Wikipedia if you want to play with MediaWiki software? 89.12.182.12 ( talk) 00:28, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at LXQt shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. - 89.12.182.12 ( talk) 00:37, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Flaris LAR-1 publicity photo-26.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq ( talk) 14:06, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Since you got my article deleted (2022 Longmont mid-air collision) please tell me the cutoff for what constitutes a notable plane crash. im trying to get more involved in plane crash articles and this only serves to confuse me.

The reason I removed the image is that that editor keeps IP hopping, adding pictures just for the sake of it or replacing logos with wrong/made-up/old ones (you reverted one of their IPs early in the article). I try to not just plain revert them, because sometimes (rarely) their changes are neutral/technically OK as it seems to be the case in that article as you say. I didn't know about that exception on images for that particular infobox, and, to be honest, every infobox has arbitrary rules (pictures or not pictures, icons or not icons, and so on), so it's difficult to keep up. However, I'll take note of your clarification for future edits. Regards. Urbanoc ( talk) 00:19, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

I saw you did some cleaup on the Project Schoolflight article a while back. The same editor expanded an article for the EAA Biplane and I thought it could benefit from your expertise as well.

Are you able to check the registration on this helicopter? There's a question of whether it's a 222 or 230. Thanks. BilCat ( talk) 02:38, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
N224LL is Not Assigned/Reserved, Deregistered Aircraft: Nonewhich indicates that not only is there no current aircraft with that registration, there never has been. That is very odd, as a general internet search shows many records for it, like this one that says it is a Bell 222U, serial number 47552 and was also registered as N74SP. The FAA registry has N74SP and confirms it as a 222U. I have no idea why the earlier registration is not showing up at least as a previous registration. The "LL" suffix shows it as having been part of the Lifelink fleet (Air Methods Corp), so perhaps it is a block assigned to that company, although it should still show up as "previously assigned" in the FAA records. The commons Flickr source file says "Taken on August 17, 2008" and the FAA record for N74SP says it was registered under that "N" number in 2018. I can only conclude it is an FAA database glitch. Regardless, to answer your question, it is Bell 222U! - Ahunt ( talk) 12:52, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

As a kid I learned to sail on 2 International 14’s my Dad owned. The second he bought in about 1957 when I was 7 yo. I know 1st hand it was an O’Day built boat. But I have nothing other than my memory of Dad stating it was an O’Day built boat, <and> of the O’Day manufacturer’s tag on the mast step as documentation. I doubt O’Day built many 14’s, as it was a relatively heavy early ‘glass 14, and not very competitive with the lighter wood 14’s of the time. By the time US 599 was sold in 1965, I often sailed it with friends and knew every inch of her.
I still have a photo of the boat. Rufusbob ( talk) 01:30, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
I ran across an odd phrase here, which I've tagged for clarification. The phrase is "a curious prop-to-port/turboprop-to-starboard configuration", which is very unclear. Do they mean the installation is slightly skewed to one side, with both engines being skewed in the same direction, rather than both being toed outward or inward? Typically, the entire paragraph is unsourced. Thanks. BilCat ( talk) 21:26, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry that I didn't leave you a note before regarding the change I made to a citation to an article by Sparky Barnes (that you then reverted back - understandably). Sparky's legal name is now (and has been for some time) Sparky Barnes. She has asked her close friends to assist in ensuring that her online presence states her correct name, rather than the old. I'm assisting her with the citations in Wikipedia. Many of the companies that accept her articles have now updated all past references to her old name. The reason for the change is to ensure that when Sparky's name is searched for in Wikipedia, it's correct, rather than the old. Again, sorry for not leaving a note earlier. The last time I edited a Wikipedia article was 15+ years ago and things have change. 42Fathoms ( talk) 14:46, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Adam, I found this photo last night while tracking down another one from the same archives, René Francillon Photo Archive on Flickr. I tried to upload it to Commons, only to discover it's already there! It looks like all the photos from that archive are on Commons, but they're under C:Category:Photographs by SDASM Archives (check needed). So I've been trolling through the Flickr archive for more rare photos, as it's easier to see them there.
The CL-41R didn't enter production, but I haven't been able to find anything more about what happened to it. Sometimes aircraft with noses like that become radar testbeds, so I'm curious. BilCat ( talk) 22:12, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

This is yet another why I prefer the terms unsourced "manned and unmanned aircraft":
"Unscrewed" aircraft? Really? I'm surprised it wasn't "crude and unscrewed aircraft". (FlightGlobal needs to hire better proofreaders! Or stop relying on computer spellcheckers. I wonder if they take Americans.) BilCat ( talk) 01:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Hey Adam, that IP you reverted on the Concorde here is that LTA who locates to the Seattle metro area. I first ran into them about 6-8 years ago. Their edits are mostly indistinguishable from vandalism, and generally focused on Russian articles, usually aircraft, tanks, and orthodox churches! I've never actually had a response from them, so I assume they're one of these LTAs that we got a lot of that are obsessed with certain topics, but have some sort of mental or developmental issues that preclude communication with others. Feel free to revert on sight if you see one of these, as they usually involve date additions or changes that aren't correct, or make some sort of odd claim to being first at something, or some odd comparison to a similar Russian product, as with this one. Sometimes they get even weirder, such as giving odd nicknames for Russian aircraft by pilots or stewardesses (really!), often with mention of the Soviet counterpart to the Wizard of Oz, or something to do with Stepan Bandera! User:Nigel Ish also reverted their edits from the day before on some Russian aircraft articles, and they are the usual type of edits they make to aircraft articles. Thanks.

Hi, you remove my addition to /info/en/?search=Bell_47 Then I found that the "talk" section of the article have already this information! So I'd like to understand why there is a section about appearances in media if it must remain empty ? There is a link to "fiction" but nothing about "real" even, weird that the interesting section is hidden in "talk". I think it's a bad thing to keep a wiki entry just as if it was a plain boring technical spec, If it must be a boring technical spec, it can be a better option to remove "media" and left the only link to the "fiction" section. -- Rag.lien ( talk) 22:58, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
I saw you reverted on Talk:International reactions to the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 shootdown for duplicating archives. Now I suppose that's true, but given the auto-archiving was added by a sockmaster to conceal their past editing and that the page is less than the 50-75k norm for archiving, restoring the content seems appropriate. The stray archives can be blanked, redirected, or just ignored until needed. Arguably they could also be G6'd or G5'd, but wasting admin time that way seems kind of pointless since the page titles are not inherently inappropriate. Further current practice is to avoid fragmentation and autoarchive settings of less than 50k are quite unusual present day, so if we were archiving we would consolidate it all to just one page. Anyway, appreciate your thoughts here. 74.73.224.126 ( talk) 04:00, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi nice to hear from you.. I am sailing presently and am able to do a few edits here or there. I hope you don't mind the edit on Jibing. How do you write an article on this topic that is readable and meets standards? Beats me on how to approach the problem, if you want to team up on something let me know. Anyway - I jibe all the time - it really comes in handy.
The only way to maneuver was to close even further with the oncoming boat and then jibe.
It came in real handy to be able to execute a jibe smoothly and without thinking about it.

Why are you vandalizing WP with edits like https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=LXQt&diff=1127483359&oldid=1127483112 ? Can't you go somewhere else, outside Wikipedia if you want to play with MediaWiki software? 89.12.182.12 ( talk) 00:28, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at LXQt shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. - 89.12.182.12 ( talk) 00:37, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Flaris LAR-1 publicity photo-26.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.
