Hi Airplaneman, since you are interested in meetups in DC, I'd like to invite you to attend the Cato Institute's "Wikipedia and Legislative Data" events on March 14. (There's also an all day workshop on March 15; let me know if you are interested, we may be able to add more people.)
There will be an introduction to Wikipedia and open edit-a-thon in the afternoon, and a Sunshine Week Reception in the evening. I hope you can make it!
Hope to see you there! - Pete ( talk) 18:59, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Dear Airplaneman, we did not communicate in a while but I would like to invite you to join the conversation on this page [1] because I am not sure that the person who is revising the article knows what she is doing. She started the conversation on her talk page with some other user based on unsubstantiated assumptions; she doesn’t check the facts and she doesn’t cooperate, listen or otherwise answer the major and legitimate arguments. She says that she doesn’t have to be familiar with the subject and uses wrong information in a new version. Also, she states, for example, that different poetry books (poetry collections) are not collections but a collection. A Poetry collection contains many poems so different poetry books, containing many poems each, are usually called poetry collections. I was following the protocol for other writers and books and if this is not true about poetry collections then hundreds of articles must be revised to be in accordance with her ideas. She states that Stojanovic wrote 125 poems although it is obvious that he published more than 400. She reorganized the text and moved one sentence from the opening paragraph to the style section and now the first two sentences of the Style section are redundant. She replaced this sentence, much more appropriate for the opening paragraph, with the number of poems, which is, first of all, unencyclopedic and it is not correct (the number 125). Number of poems is not the fact that should be in the opening paragraph in my opinion since the quality of poems is much more important. The other sentence was much more appropriate. She also uses a very strange format in Published Works, starting every line with the name, then comma, then the last name, although I have not seen any article with the name of the author listed in this section unless the name is a part of the title (it is obvious that the books, based on the article itself), are by the author about whom the article is, although the dates can be placed before (like in some other articles) but not with a point after the date but with a colon. She also changed Serbian-American to Serbian and now nowbody can now that this author has been living in America for 23 years.
She doesn’t want to check the Library of Congress or WorldCat and she doesn’t want to check the article published in the World Literature Today digitized by Google. Please join this conversation since you sincerely participated in the creation of this article and since you always acted in good faith. Somebody with a neutral mind would have to participate and clarify this nonsense. Thanks. Mountlovcen8 ( talk) 17:10, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for responding and it is great to hear from you too. The problem here is that this lady hardly recognized even the obvious facts and still refuses to recognize other facts that would be obvious to any reasonable person. She started the conversation, after placing some tags on some articles which attracted my attention, and I noticed a conversation there with Tokyo girl about this article which is, in my opinion, against Wikipedia’s rules.
On the other hand, Cindy is arbitrary; she doesn’t listen to almost anything and she overlooks even the obvious facts. This article is sourced with almost the same number of references as the article about Robert Frost. The problem with her is that she did not do anything in a professional manner and did not perform due diligence before involving with this article. She did not even check the authority control in the article to make this less painful. She changes the text, making obvious factual errors, she doesn’t insert the additional resources although she placed the tags in the text and received the information. I even asked her if she wanted physical copies of the books and copies of articles written in major newspapers, weekly magazines and literary magazines and periodicals in Belgrade and she did not answer, yet continues in a completely wrong direction.
So, the problem is not with sourcing but with the lack of cooperation on her part and she does want to recognize the facts. I do not understand this kind of behavior and don’t know is this a whim, caprice or it could be something else. Obviously, she tries to prove the unprovable and continues for the sake of sticking to her “perspective” as she calls it instead of doing a real job.
What she did by now made the article worse. That’s why I thought somebody like you could help to clarify this since I have everything in order already and everything could be done quickly with a good will. She is almost not doing anything except that the tags are kept there. Would you recommend that I remove the tags and fix the article just a bit with inserting these references and only one picture? Then in June you can review everything and possibly recover what is lost now although may be important. She did not prove she can do a good job with this type of work related to authors.
Based on the tag, the tag says that it can be removed after several hours if the editing work is not completed. I did not want to remove it for three days but at this point, I don’t consider her behavior responsible and I think the tag should be removed and the article fixed at least to the extent possible now. She removed all the photographs (even with the Nobel Prize winner). So I would place back at least this important photo illustrative of that section. I am sorry for bothering you with this and best regards. Mountlovcen8 ( talk) 07:04, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello Airplaneman, I was wondering if you could delete my user page (not the talk one, but user page). It is empty and I created it a long time ago, but I'm not using it and don't think I'll ever do. I was not able to delete it myself, so I was hoping if you could please help me out? Thank you very much! EthemD ( talk) 04:13, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
I just realized that you deleted or had the page I was working on for Whuteva deleted. I found redible articles includeing MTV with legitimate sources to back up the article such as video footage and live interviews. I dont understand what makes you qualified to critique an article on a subject it which appears you know nothing about. I can understand if I were talking about Cessna or Boeings (of which I probably know more than you know about hip hop music).
Excuse me for taking this personal but I definitely feel you marking this article for deletion was unjust and I would like to know how to go about re-establishing the article with the content and research (time and energy) Ive already exhausted on this piece. I just hope it was never completely removed and I can still recover what was lost. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Innertainment ( talk • contribs) 02:32, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that you've imposed PC1 on Wesley Warren Jr. following a request that's archived at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Rolling archive#July 16. I'm afraid you've been mislead by the requester. The article is stable and does not have a history of vandalism other than a handful of edits on the nights that a British documentary film about the article subject was broadcast. What is really going on is that there is currently a thread on Wikipediocracy directed against the editors who collaborated on this article (towards which the thread is extremely personally abusive), and the request for pending changes appears to be intended to lock them out from further editing it. Not coincidentally, the requester is a regular Wikipediocracy member. The article is on several watchlists already, which should be sufficient, and it is unlikely there will be any further outbreaks of vandalism until and unless the film is shown again, at which point short-term PC might be necessary. Please lift the PC for now as it is not needed. Prioryman ( talk) 06:30, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
It appears to me that HarperCollins has decided to be ridiculous and update their Canadian site. The unfortunate problem now is that all the publication dates we cited for Warriors from there for Canadian releases now match the American ones, which is crazy because I know for a fact we got the release before the US and UK. Which is kind of weird, seeing as now, we can't even cite the publisher for the correct publication date for their own novels. Ideas? Bramble claw x 01:11, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Airplaneman
I found you on the "Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles" page and wonder if you could help me get back some of my work that was lost. Mark Miremont and The Resurrection of Beauty
These were both deleted pretty quickly and I did not get a chance to get their content to make possible future attempts better. The person who nominated the long standing page (I think since 2006) Mark Miremont had made several deletions prior to nominating it for deletion. Anyone reading that article may not have seen all the evidence of the notability as a result. I don't have intentions to re-post or work on wikipedia for a while because this process and that editor's was rather demoralizing. Still it would be nice to be able to retrieve all that work I did for my own records. I am assuming once a decision for deletion has been made, even if only by one or two people, that it is done in stone and there are no appeals. If you get a look at the page, I would greatly appreciate your input on what myself and any other editors did wrong with establishing notability. In my field it is obvious that there is notability and I thought the references were from reliable sources. Thanks! Nynewart ( talk) 22:20, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
It's nice to meet you too, Airplaneman. I completely understand what you are saying. I don;t know that I will be doing much editing after this negative experience. What irritated me was the wasted time I put into this jumping through the other editor's hoops. I suspect that the person who nominated the deletion must have a grudge against the subject because he went in and made 10 or 12 deletions with edit summaries like "bullshit" etc- while, admitting to not reading the references. At the same time there were also deletions elsewhere on wiki related to this subject of the article by someone using a redirected IP address. I am not saying it was sockpuppetry but it is a bit coincidental given the flurry of deletions for a page that has existed for almost 6 years.
After I updated the references and limited it mere factual statements, he then said he looked at a main reference and it was ok to use... meaning that I spent hours of research and re-editing was for nothing and he admitted his deletions were inappropriate. But he did not want to go back and restore the content. Looking at the pages that editor maintained, it was clear that he did not hold them to any of the standards he was imposing on this one. That was another clue to me that there was something odd about the deletion and tone.
I believe even this neutered version of the article you sent me showed notability; give the institutions his work has been acknowledge by and exhibited with and individuals he has collaborated with. (There are many more that were not included (as I don't think I was bold enough in the content I posted).
I am very grateful you were able to get me the deleted content to save. This may not be your area of expertise, but I would value anyone's opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nynewart ( talk • contribs) 16:55, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
Pikachu has been semi-protected for almost four years now. Would it be a good time to experiment with pending changes? If vandalism resumes afterwards, it can always be reprotected. What do you think? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 14:28, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Another administrator deleted the Scaly Adventures page that I wrote.

Hi Airplaneman,
Can you send me a copy of this recently deleted (8 May) article to me so I can work on it to improve it so it can be resubmitted for inclusion in wikipedia. It was deleted by GED UK the reason was A7 but it has been on wikipedia for many years so don't know why it was deleted all of a sudden. Thanks in advance CHCBOY ( talk) 12:06, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Airplaneman do you think the article at User:CHCBOY/Mainland Air is fixed up now with the new refs I found for it. Would it be ready to submit it for inclusion in Wikipedia now? CHCBOY ( talk) 07:07, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the fix up and putting all the history back too. I will keep that in mind the MOVE function for next time. There is still lots of new things for me to learn here on Wiki.Bye for now. CHCBOY ( talk) 09:49, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm unsure if this is the correct procedure for this request. Your help is appreciated. Abhiroopb ( talk) 08:38, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Could you please userfy Donkey Kong's animal buddies and Kleever for me? I feel there is helpful content in those two articles (even if the latter is poorly written). I'm trying to reserve non-copyrighted, deleted Wikipedia articles. Thanks. 2005-Fan ( talk) 13:59, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Airplaneman
I found you on the "Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles" page and wonder if you could help me get back some of my work that was lost. Mark Miremont and The Resurrection of Beauty
These were both deleted pretty quickly and I did not get a chance to get their content to make possible future attempts better. The person who nominated the long standing page (I think since 2006) Mark Miremont had made several deletions prior to nominating it for deletion. Anyone reading that article may not have seen all the evidence of the notability as a result. I don't have intentions to re-post or work on wikipedia for a while because this process and that editor's was rather demoralizing. Still it would be nice to be able to retrieve all that work I did for my own records. I am assuming once a decision for deletion has been made, even if only by one or two people, that it is done in stone and there are no appeals. If you get a look at the page, I would greatly appreciate your input on what myself and any other editors did wrong with establishing notability. In my field it is obvious that there is notability and I thought the references were from reliable sources. Thanks! Nynewart ( talk) 22:20, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
It's nice to meet you too, Airplaneman. I completely understand what you are saying. I don;t know that I will be doing much editing after this negative experience. What irritated me was the wasted time I put into this jumping through the other editor's hoops. I suspect that the person who nominated the deletion must have a grudge against the subject because he went in and made 10 or 12 deletions with edit summaries like "bullshit" etc- while, admitting to not reading the references. At the same time there were also deletions elsewhere on wiki related to this subject of the article by someone using a redirected IP address. I am not saying it was sockpuppetry but it is a bit coincidental given the flurry of deletions for a page that has existed for almost 6 years.
After I updated the references and limited it mere factual statements, he then said he looked at a main reference and it was ok to use... meaning that I spent hours of research and re-editing was for nothing and he admitted his deletions were inappropriate. But he did not want to go back and restore the content. Looking at the pages that editor maintained, it was clear that he did not hold them to any of the standards he was imposing on this one. That was another clue to me that there was something odd about the deletion and tone.
I believe even this neutered version of the article you sent me showed notability; give the institutions his work has been acknowledge by and exhibited with and individuals he has collaborated with. (There are many more that were not included (as I don't think I was bold enough in the content I posted).
I am very grateful you were able to get me the deleted content to save. This may not be your area of expertise, but I would value anyone's opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nynewart ( talk • contribs) 16:55, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
Pikachu has been semi-protected for almost four years now. Would it be a good time to experiment with pending changes? If vandalism resumes afterwards, it can always be reprotected. What do you think? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 14:28, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Another administrator deleted the Scaly Adventures page that I wrote. After initially contacting them regarding why the page was deleted, the administrator did not contact me again regarding a request to reinstate the page. Would it be possible for you to get me the text from the page so that I can make the discussed changes and repost it? Thanks! Hopeliving94 ( talk) 17:57, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
FYI, just wanted to let you know about the Smithsonian APA edit-a-thon happening May 10, 2014. There are events in NYC, DC, Los Angeles, San Diego and Austin, TX. You can also work virtually, but just wanted to let you know, since you have been active on the Asian American projects. Thanks! -- Fuzheado | Talk 20:33, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Airplaneman,

It was deleted by GED UK the reason was A7 but it has been on wikipedia for many years so don't know why it was deleted all of a sudden. Thanks in advance CHCBOY ( talk) 12:06, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Airplaneman do you think the article at User:CHCBOY/Mainland Air is fixed up now with the new refs I found for it. Would it be ready to submit it for inclusion in Wikipedia now? CHCBOY ( talk) 07:07, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the fix up and putting all the history back too. I will keep that in mind the MOVE function for next time. There is still lots of new things for me to learn here on Wiki.Bye for now. CHCBOY ( talk) 09:49, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks once again for your detailed instructions it worked successfully for the article and I also used it the method to attach the logo on my other article called Air Safaris. CHCBOY ( talk) 11:18, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
