=================Hi, regarding the references - The OR tags were put on as I wasn't able to find the stated information on the link posted. I've since found that the information sites, but just not where directed (and with no functioning link to the history page). (I'd specifically looked for Delbert Brunton on the link [ [2]], but instead could only find it through google on [ [3]].). I thought I'd let you know rather than changing it as you have multiple citations to each link. Cheers Clovis Sangrail ( talk) 02:33, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
I will be away until end of November. I would like to discuss other than the electrical aspect - aspects that have to do with attempt at continuance of the flight to Japan as over against an attempt at water ditching, and also reports of KAL 007 on the water. Of course these will be from the angle of input from the side of your expertise. Would this type of thing be O.K. on this talk page? I realize that this is not the usual type forum for this kind of discussion. Let me know here, and if it is O.K., "see you" the end of November. Bert Schlossberg ( talk) 04:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

We lived in Hermosa Beach for 3 years and I have many fond memories of the trip to Palos Verde and to Marineland of the Pacific.

I notice that a bot script was used to transfer my photos to commons. When I license my photos with 3.0, I always add this required attribution statement, and link, for use of my photos outside of Wikipedia:
And, another one where the link did not transfer:
My questions are:
My willingness to provide photos to wikipedia, is based on the good-faith bargain that the required attribution statement and link will always be posted with the photo. In fact, I don't think the license to freely use, is valid, if that statement and link is removed from the photo. Your help in correcting this problem will be greatly appreciated.

AFAIK users classify articles. An article can be at start class for 5 years if little development happens on it. If someone develops it to a C class or B class, one can recategorize the article himself or herself. One needs to make sure that the criteria for each class is met.

I know it as the Windsor Incident, so went with that. In some ways (traffic, an increase in street violence) Sydney isn't nearly as nice as it was thirty years ago, but now you can get a decent meal at one in the morning if you wish. Cheers! YSSYguy ( talk) 07:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Hi- Yes, it's best if you're working on an article to temporarily disable the categories on your user work page. Then, just add in whatever you edited back to the main article page. That way your user page doesn't show up in "Google" searches, etc. A few good templates to use at the top of your user work pages are either: {{ User Sandbox}} or {{ Userspace draft}}, that way your userpages don't get indexed. Hope this helps! -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 17:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Superdude did the surviving hijackers thing once too often and got blocked while I was on the way home from work.

Since you edit the website airlinesafety.com, I can understand your opinion that the content of this documentary film may not itself have support in reliable sources. Your being a former pilot yourself allows you a unique perspective. But it must be granted that Tristan Loraine as himself a former pilot is himself allowed a unique viewpoint... even if differing from yours... as what perhaps encourged him to create the film. I am not judging either of you as right or wrong, but am only offering in my argument at the AFD that Wikipedia also does not judge who is right or wrong and that per WP:NF and WP:GNG is only concerned whether or not the film has coverage as a film, and per WP:V Wikipedia ignores drawing any conclusions about its content. Please note that in respecting your concerns, I went through the article to neutralize POV quite a bit, both removing unreliable sources toward the film's content and adding proper citations to Reliable Sources that address its coverage as a film. I am not suggesting you change your opinion, but ask of you in your capacity as editor of a website and a person with an interest in airline safety, if you might provide me links to Reliable Sources that show that Loraine's film is considered controversial so that I might add them to the article in seeking a balance. With best regards, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 18:43, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I don't know if you're still editing the AF447 article. Several months ago, there was a heated up discussion about the translation of the BEA report - was the plane "flying level", was it "accelerating", etc. I've translated the relevant bits from the original report in french. I didn't check the translated version of the report, but judging from what was written on the talk page, it seems a bit different from what is said in french. Cochonfou ( talk) 15:11, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello. The *notaforum* tag I added to Talk:United Airlines Flight 663 is a reminder to limit the discussion to the Wikipedia article. It is not an attempt "to prevent legit discussion." Your comment "I was wondering how long it would take for someone to throw in the race/religion card" does not appear to be about the article, but is more of a general comment about the incident. The Washington Post article I cited in my prior comment is evidence that this larger discussion of profiling is taking place. The WaPo citation is evidence of two things: it provides further evidence that this is a notable topic for an article, and gives evidence that the profiling debate should be mentioned in the article. Please note that the issue of profiling originated in the Washington Post and is not a general comment by me. I brought it up because I feel it is relevant to the notability and content of the article. You are welcome to make your case against keeping the article. In fact, I encourage you to nominate it for deletion if you wish. I'd like to add the tag back to keep the discussion focused on the Wikipedia article content and notability. Just wanted to clarify why I added the tag, which is a common tag to add on controversial topics. Thanks. Jokestress ( talk) 00:22, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
A reliable source can still be cited even if other readers do not have access. Otherwise people could remove all references to books they don't own, etc. I reverted your change. Let me know if you have any questions or need me to cite the sourcing policy. I also hope you will weigh in at the AfD. Jokestress ( talk) 06:17, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi EditorASC, I did some more edits and reinserted some text up front, but instead of tit for tat editing, how about we work together on an opening statement that you think can capture the major thesis and content of the episode that's accurate. Even if the show has a point of view (and it does), that doesn't mean we ignore it. And for the record, I'm from a state where unions have wrecked our economy and not afraid to state it. What I liked about the Frontline episode is that they dug deeper into what may be a systemic issue that contributed to the crash. The NTSB has to be conservative (so for instance they say fatigue probably contributed to the crash, but they can assess how much so it wasn't in the Probable Cause statement) whereas Frontline can mention it. What's important for an article is to provide relevant perspectives. We don't have to agree with them to include them. Mattnad ( talk) 21:40, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Editor! I really have jiust a technical question, but one nonetheless that I should point out is not answered by the Boeing 747SP article. How much runway lenght in feet is needed for an SP to land at your airport? Seeing as one actually landed at Bullhead City Airport, which only has 7,001 feet runway, it made me wonder. Plus like I said, we need that info posted at the plane's article. Thanks and God bless! Antonio Always Ready Martin loser's talk page 07:58, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
About flying for 2 or more airlines-I hope you laugh about this!-when I was about 10, I envisioned myself as a free agent airline pilot-professional boxer! The way I saw it, I could fly my own airplane SJU-CDG on Air France Saturday, fight next Friday for a world title in Paris, then pilot Iberia's 727 CDG-MAD and it's 747 MAD-SJU the next day!! I was ten after all!! Ok now I have a question..I only flew the 727 once so far, SJU-ATL on Eastern Airlines. This flight seemed to me like we were on a steep upward pitch all the way through, even when we were actually cruising. Other flights Ive had on any other planes (Delta and Eastern's L-1011, American and Eastern's 757) or similar types (American's MD-80 series) I have never experienced anything similar. Nevertheless, I was a bit nervous on that SJU-ATL flight because of the way the cockpit seemed so high up there and the tail section seemed like we had to walk down to get to the restrooms. Is that normal on 727 flights or maybe the pilots were trying to avoid some atmospheric event or something?? Thanks! God bless! Antonio KLM001 Martin loser talk 16:43, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
This is a partial list of air accidents caused by pilots failing to comprehend their true situation, until it was too late. None of these accidents would have happened, if the pilots had been flying according to SOPs and remained fully aware of the information that their cockpit instruments were providing them,
Another NEAR disaster occurred on November 11, 1979, when an Aeromexico DC-10 entered a sustained stall while climbing through FL 300, over Luxembourg, Europe. The pilots failed to recognize the stall condition and instead, blamed the heavy buffeting on the #3 engine, which they shut down, while they continued to hold the nose up. The plane finally nosed down on its own and the pilots recovered before reaching FL 180, after they quit pulling back on the control column. The engine was restarted, the declaration of emergency canceled and the flight continued to Miami, Florida. Ground inspection revealed 4 feet missing from each of the outboard elevator tips, including their balance weights. The NTSB found the failure of the flight crew to monitor their flight instruments led to the sustained stall buffeting, which imposed structural overload, causing the failure of both outboard elevator tips and balance weights. If those pilots had continued to pull back on the yoke, as did the AF 447 pilots, then the result would have been the same, excepting only that the Aeromexico DC-10 would have crashed on land, instead of in the ocean. I haven't restored the material in the middle of your comment on the closed thread at Talk:Asiana Airlines Flight 214 because it was in a closed thread, but please stop calling it vandalism. It was misplaced, but that was all. Please reconsider your tone in interacting with other editors. I realize that you have professional experience in the field, and that comments by people with less experience than you have (or worse, by simulation enthusiasts) can be irritating, but please try to respond constructively, or at least with less grumpiness.

Section 917. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF EQUIPMENT TO CLEAN AND MONITOR THE ENGINE AND APU BLEED AIR SUPPLIED ON PRESSURIZED AIRCRAFT which recognises the issue of aerotoxic contamination.You have also removed references to FAA guidelines on health and safety on fume incidents. In addition you are removing references to legal judgements that have been made concerning the subject includng one where Boeing have settled with a flight crew member from American Airlines as well as removing links to leading journals referencing the subject matter. You replace these with out of date information. I request that you read what has been posted, bring yourself up to date and up to speed with the subject matter and if you disagree with it discuss this in the talk page.
So are you saying that the information I have included are not valid even though they refer to published legal decisions and changes in the law made by the US congress? Or are you just trying to tell the world there is no such thing as aerotoxic poisoning despit Boeing settling a case and the Austrlin courts doing the same? In relation to your comment on controversial I consider the most controversial statement I see on the entry you contnue to insist on replacing, even though it is out of date in its factual content, is the word propaganda, totally uneccssary use of this word in this context. I note in some of the prvious comments above from otehr editors whi have attempted to interact with you concerning this page that state you appear to just delete anything you do not agree with.

This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Posted 01:20, 10 November 2014, by Administrator Orange Mike | Talk For anyone interested, the discussion is in Archive 48, and is item # "32 International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations." [ [7]] EditorASC ( talk) 22:41, 12 January 2015 (UTC) I am seeking additional input in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Rodney Stich and I thought you may have some expertise in this area. Your previous comments in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 63#Colgan Air Flight 3407 are all that I have been able to turn up. - Location ( talk) 04:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC) Hi, Hi EditorASC. As I said I would, I have been stepping into the aerotoxic article. I've reviewed the disclosure on your talk page and reviewed your contributions to the aerotoxic article. The first thing I want to say is general and not about the aerotoxic article - namely, please refrain from citing your own website when you edit. I did a search in Wikipedia for links to it - here are the results. I don't know if you added those links/refs or someone else did, but if it was you, please don't do that going forward, per WP:SELFCITE. Thanks. About the aerotoxic article, in my judgement, you are editing with a very strong point of view (POV), and that comes through both in the content changes you make, the sources you use (which are often of low quality), and the tone of what you write on talk. I cannot see that you have any conflict of interest since you appear to be retired and run your website for pleasure. If you do have any conflict of interest (if you for example consult for the airline industry, or if you have real world disputes with people about aerotoxic syndrome, those external relationships would constitute a COI here in Wikipedia (which is different from other publications) Please do review the WP:COI guideline, carefully, and if you have any conflicts to disclose, please do so. However, from your editing behavior which I described above, you have in my view, issues with what we call "advocacy" here in Wikipedia, with regard to aerotoxic syndrome. Please do read WP:ADVOCACY (and note how behavior-wise, it is pretty indistinguishable from COI editing). Advocacy is one of hardest issues to deal with here. Many people come to Wikipedia because they are passionate about something. That passion is a double-edged sword. It drives people to contribute which has the potential for productive construction, but it can also lead to WP:TENDENTIOUS editing, which is really destructive. The only thing you can do, is: 1) be aware of your passion and understand that you may view things differently than other people; 2) make sure that everything you do when working on the stuff about which you are passionate - namely the content you edit, the sources you use, and the way you conduct yourself in Talk discussions and in edit notes - make sure all of that complies with what you should do in Wikipedia. (All the policies and guidelines describe what is best - what editors should do - as well as what is allowed) Aim high. And remember that everybody working here in Wikipedia is a person. Some people are really messed up, some people are great, everybody makes mistakes... but we are all people. Try to avoid dehumanizing "the other guy". But above all, please tone it down. I hope you take all this in the spirit it is offered, which is wanting to help you, and wanting to turn down the heat on the dispute on the aerotoxic articles so that the content can be improved. Happy to discuss - please let me know what you think, after considering this. Please take your time. Jytdog ( talk) 16:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Yah, right. You remind me of an aunt of mine who regularly instructed her children to "do as I say, not as I do." I should be able to learn from you about how to keep it brief and civil, no matter how unethical the other guy acts? [ [12]](#35) And, in spite of the fact you have attacked me and implied I have violated COI standards, without your having a shred of evidence to support a scurrilous charge like that? I don't see that kind of tactic as any different in principle, than when Orange Mike did a massive revert of my carefully thought out and properly explained deletes, of un-sourced material from a Wiki article that was nothing more than a copyright violation Spam page -- because of what I might post in the future. Well, as I said, I don't view you as one of the corrupt ones, but you sure do come across as being afraid of your own shadow. Sorry if that offends you, since not offending anyone seems to be very high on your hierarchy list of ethical goals. Pretty low on my list of ethical standards -- far, far below concepts like Truth, Honesty and upholding the equal rights of all before the Law, all of which are way ABOVE disingenuous tactics to avoid the real issues of any dispute, which seems to be essential to those who lust for power over others.

AFAIK users classify articles. An article can be at start class for 5 years if little development happens on it. If someone develops it to a C class or B class, one can recategorize the article himself or herself. One needs to make sure that the criteria for each class is met. WhisperToMe ( talk) 14:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC) G'day from Oz; my bad - I have never bothered to read the NTSB report on this as I have several books that mention it in some detail. I know it as the Windsor Incident, so went with that. In some ways (traffic, an increase in street violence) Sydney isn't nearly as nice as it was thirty years ago, but now you can get a decent meal at one in the morning if you wish. Cheers! YSSYguy ( talk) 07:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Hi- Yes, it's best if you're working on an article to temporarily disable the categories on your user work page. Then, just add in whatever you edited back to the main article page. That way your user page doesn't show up in "Google" searches, etc. A few good templates to use at the top of your user work pages are either: {{ User Sandbox}} or {{ Userspace draft}}, that way your userpages don't get indexed. Hope this helps! -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 17:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Superdude did the surviving hijackers thing once too often and got blocked while I was on the way home from work.

Since you edit the website airlinesafety.com, I can understand your opinion that the content of this documentary film may not itself have support in reliable sources. Your being a former pilot yourself allows you a unique perspective. But it must be granted that Tristan Loraine as himself a former pilot is himself allowed a unique viewpoint... even if differing from yours... as what perhaps encourged him to create the film. I am not judging either of you as right or wrong, but am only offering in my argument at the AFD that Wikipedia also does not judge who is right or wrong and that per WP:NF and WP:GNG is only concerned whether or not the film has coverage as a film, and per WP:V Wikipedia ignores drawing any conclusions about its content. Please note that in respecting your concerns, I went through the article to neutralize POV quite a bit, both removing unreliable sources toward the film's content and adding proper citations to Reliable Sources that address its coverage as a film. I am not suggesting you change your opinion, but ask of you in your capacity as editor of a website and a person with an interest in airline safety, if you might provide me links to Reliable Sources that show that Loraine's film is considered controversial so that I might add them to the article in seeking a balance. With best regards, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 18:43, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I don't know if you're still editing the AF447 article. Several months ago, there was a heated up discussion about the translation of the BEA report - was the plane "flying level", was it "accelerating", etc. I've translated the relevant bits from the original report in french. I didn't check the translated version of the report, but judging from what was written on the talk page, it seems a bit different from what is said in french.

Hello. The *notaforum* tag I added to Talk:United Airlines Flight 663 is a reminder to limit the discussion to the Wikipedia article. It is not an attempt "to prevent legit discussion." Your comment "I was wondering how long it would take for someone to throw in the race/religion card" does not appear to be about the article, but is more of a general comment about the incident. The Washington Post article I cited in my prior comment is evidence that this larger discussion of profiling is taking place. The WaPo citation is evidence of two things: it provides further evidence that this is a notable topic for an article, and gives evidence that the profiling debate should be mentioned in the article. Please note that the issue of profiling originated in the Washington Post and is not a general comment by me. I brought it up because I feel it is relevant to the notability and content of the article. You are welcome to make your case against keeping the article. In fact, I encourage you to nominate it for deletion if you wish. I'd like to add the tag back to keep the discussion focused on the Wikipedia article content and notability. Just wanted to clarify why I added the tag, which is a common tag to add on controversial topics. Thanks. Jokestress ( talk) 00:22, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
A reliable source can still be cited even if other readers do not have access. Otherwise people could remove all references to books they don't own, etc. I reverted your change. Let me know if you have any questions or need me to cite the sourcing policy. I also hope you will weigh in at the AfD. Jokestress ( talk) 06:17, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi EditorASC, I did some more edits and reinserted some text up front, but instead of tit for tat editing, how about we work together on an opening statement that you think can capture the major thesis and content of the episode that's accurate. Even if the show has a point of view (and it does), that doesn't mean we ignore it. And for the record, I'm from a state where unions have wrecked our economy and not afraid to state it. What I liked about the Frontline episode is that they dug deeper into what may be a systemic issue that contributed to the crash. The NTSB has to be conservative (so for instance they say fatigue probably contributed to the crash, but they can assess how much so it wasn't in the Probable Cause statement) whereas Frontline can mention it. What's important for an article is to provide relevant perspectives. We don't have to agree with them to include them. Mattnad ( talk) 21:40, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Editor! I really have jiust a technical question, but one nonetheless that I should point out is not answered by the Boeing 747SP article. How much runway lenght in feet is needed for an SP to land at your airport? Seeing as one actually landed at Bullhead City Airport, which only has 7,001 feet runway, it made me wonder. Plus like I said, we need that info posted at the plane's article. Thanks and God bless! Antonio Always Ready Martin loser's talk page 07:58, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
About flying for 2 or more airlines-I hope you laugh about this!-when I was about 10, I envisioned myself as a free agent airline pilot-professional boxer! The way I saw it, I could fly my own airplane SJU-CDG on Air France Saturday, fight next Friday for a world title in Paris, then pilot Iberia's 727 CDG-MAD and it's 747 MAD-SJU the next day!! I was ten after all!! Ok now I have a question..I only flew the 727 once so far, SJU-ATL on Eastern Airlines. This flight seemed to me like we were on a steep upward pitch all the way through, even when we were actually cruising. Other flights Ive had on any other planes (Delta and Eastern's L-1011, American and Eastern's 757) or similar types (American's MD-80 series) I have never experienced anything similar. Nevertheless, I was a bit nervous on that SJU-ATL flight because of the way the cockpit seemed so high up there and the tail section seemed like we had to walk down to get to the restrooms. Is that normal on 727 flights or maybe the pilots were trying to avoid some atmospheric event or something?? Thanks! God bless! Antonio KLM001 Martin loser talk 16:43, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
This is a partial list of air accidents caused by pilots failing to comprehend their true situation, until it was too late. None of these accidents would have happened, if the pilots had been flying according to SOPs and remained fully aware of the information that their cockpit instruments were providing them,
Another NEAR disaster occurred on November 11, 1979, when an Aeromexico DC-10 entered a sustained stall while climbing through FL 300, over Luxembourg, Europe. The pilots failed to recognize the stall condition and instead, blamed the heavy buffeting on the #3 engine, which they shut down, while they continued to hold the nose up. The plane finally nosed down on its own and the pilots recovered before reaching FL 180, after they quit pulling back on the control column. The engine was restarted, the declaration of emergency canceled and the flight continued to Miami, Florida. Ground inspection revealed 4 feet missing from each of the outboard elevator tips, including their balance weights. The NTSB found the failure of the flight crew to monitor their flight instruments led to the sustained stall buffeting, which imposed structural overload, causing the failure of both outboard elevator tips and balance weights. If those pilots had continued to pull back on the yoke, as did the AF 447 pilots, then the result would have been the same, excepting only that the Aeromexico DC-10 would have crashed on land, instead of in the ocean. I haven't restored the material in the middle of your comment on the closed thread at Talk:Asiana Airlines Flight 214 because it was in a closed thread, but please stop calling it vandalism. It was misplaced, but that was all. Please reconsider your tone in interacting with other editors. I realize that you have professional experience in the field, and that comments by people with less experience than you have (or worse, by simulation enthusiasts) can be irritating, but please try to respond constructively, or at least with less grumpiness.

We noticed though that when you edited Asiana Airlines Flight 214, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Stall ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Bleed air in gas turbines comes in many varieties. The term is most commonly used to refer to air that is taken from the engine and used for purposes outside of the engine and as the accompanying video cite details there is more then one source that does more than one job.

Section 917. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF EQUIPMENT TO CLEAN AND MONITOR THE ENGINE AND APU BLEED AIR SUPPLIED ON PRESSURIZED AIRCRAFT which recognises the issue of aerotoxic contamination.You have also removed references to FAA guidelines on health and safety on fume incidents. In addition you are removing references to legal judgements that have been made concerning the subject includng one where Boeing have settled with a flight crew member from American Airlines as well as removing links to leading journals referencing the subject matter. You replace these with out of date information. I request that you read what has been posted, bring yourself up to date and up to speed with the subject matter and if you disagree with it discuss this in the talk page.
So are you saying that the information I have included are not valid even though they refer to published legal decisions and changes in the law made by the US congress? Or are you just trying to tell the world there is no such thing as aerotoxic poisoning despit Boeing settling a case and the Austrlin courts doing the same? In relation to your comment on controversial I consider the most controversial statement I see on the entry you contnue to insist on replacing, even though it is out of date in its factual content, is the word propaganda, totally uneccssary use of this word in this context. I note in some of the prvious comments above from otehr editors whi have attempted to interact with you concerning this page that state you appear to just delete anything you do not agree with. Also there is no need to shout in the dialouge by using fully capped words, I am not deaf.

Posted 01:20, 10 November 2014, by Administrator Orange Mike | Talk For anyone interested, the discussion is in Archive 48, and is item # "32 International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations." [ [7]] EditorASC ( talk) 22:41, 12 January 2015 (UTC) I am seeking additional input in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Rodney Stich and I thought you may have some expertise in this area. Your previous comments in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 63#Colgan Air Flight 3407 are all that I have been able to turn up. - Location ( talk) 04:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC) Hi, Hi EditorASC. As I said I would, I have been stepping into the aerotoxic article. I've reviewed the disclosure on your talk page and reviewed your contributions to the aerotoxic article. The first thing I want to say is general and not about the aerotoxic article - namely, please refrain from citing your own website when you edit. I did a search in Wikipedia for links to it - here are the results. I don't know if you added those links/refs or someone else did, but if it was you, please don't do that going forward, per WP:SELFCITE. Thanks. About the aerotoxic article, in my judgement, you are editing with a very strong point of view (POV), and that comes through both in the content changes you make, the sources you use (which are often of low quality), and the tone of what you write on talk. I cannot see that you have any conflict of interest since you appear to be retired and run your website for pleasure. If you do have any conflict of interest (if you for example consult for the airline industry, or if you have real world disputes with people about aerotoxic syndrome, those external relationships would constitute a COI here in Wikipedia (which is different from other publications) Please do review the WP:COI guideline, carefully, and if you have any conflicts to disclose, please do so. However, from your editing behavior which I described above, you have in my view, issues with what we call "advocacy" here in Wikipedia, with regard to aerotoxic syndrome. Please do read WP:ADVOCACY (and note how behavior-wise, it is pretty indistinguishable from COI editing). Advocacy is one of hardest issues to deal with here. Many people come to Wikipedia because they are passionate about something. That passion is a double-edged sword. It drives people to contribute which has the potential for productive construction, but it can also lead to WP:TENDENTIOUS editing, which is really destructive. The only thing you can do, is: 1) be aware of your passion and understand that you may view things differently than other people; 2) make sure that everything you do when working on the stuff about which you are passionate - namely the content you edit, the sources you use, and the way you conduct yourself in Talk discussions and in edit notes - make sure all of that complies with what you should do in Wikipedia. (All the policies and guidelines describe what is best - what editors should do - as well as what is allowed) Aim high. And remember that everybody working here in Wikipedia is a person. Some people are really messed up, some people are great, everybody makes mistakes... but we are all people. Try to avoid dehumanizing "the other guy". But above all, please tone it down. I hope you take all this in the spirit it is offered, which is wanting to help you, and wanting to turn down the heat on the dispute on the aerotoxic articles so that the content can be improved. Happy to discuss - please let me know what you think, after considering this. Please take your time. Jytdog ( talk) 16:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Yah, right. You remind me of an aunt of mine who regularly instructed her children to "do as I say, not as I do." I should be able to learn from you about how to keep it brief and civil, no matter how unethical the other guy acts? [ [12]](#35) And, in spite of the fact you have attacked me and implied I have violated COI standards, without your having a shred of evidence to support a scurrilous charge like that? I don't see that kind of tactic as any different in principle, than when Orange Mike did a massive revert of my carefully thought out and properly explained deletes, of un-sourced material from a Wiki article that was nothing more than a copyright violation Spam page -- because of what I might post in the future. Well, as I said, I don't view you as one of the corrupt ones, but you sure do come across as being afraid of your own shadow. Sorry if that offends you, since not offending anyone seems to be very high on your hierarchy list of ethical goals. Pretty low on my list of ethical standards -- far, far below concepts like Truth, Honesty and upholding the equal rights of all before the Law, all of which are way ABOVE disingenuous tactics to avoid the real issues of any dispute, which seems to be essential to those who lust for power over others.
