I'm asking because of this crash [1] in ASN's database says Olympic Aviation whereas this news article [2] says Olympic Airways. Which is it?
The reason I'm asking is because this is the deadliest Shorts 330 crash(There's only one other with double digit dead) and I was thinking of doing an article on it. The article would be only a stub because this is little info on it. I'd appreciate if you'd give me some input. Thanks. ...William 22:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Re this edit, those names were in the article when it achieved GA status. I accept that possibly the passengers killed could be omitted, but the loss of the others detracts from the article IMHO.

Hello MilborneOne
Can you please stop using the Military Structure infobox for any bases that have had runways in the past. The correct infobox is the airport infobox like the one on the RAF Leconfield article, also can you please stop using the word "station" within any airport infobox and as i and many other users have been told to remove them from article we have edited.
Thank you (P.S, Nice article) Gavbadger ( talk) 15:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello ! I noticed that You didn't approve of some of my edits on the "Boeing 720" article. Okay "special handeling" wasn't an optional headline. But i fail to see the error of mention things that is true about the aircraft, even if some of them may apply also to other early jet airliners. I'm sorry if I in some way intruded in some kind of a special project conc. accidents. My intention was only to give a summary of all registrated events. (And correcting the number of deaths in one case) I may be wrong about Maersk (Mærsk)being an original customer, but not all aircraft are accounted for. And a google on "OY-APZ", "OY-APU" etc. describes these as the first registration number. But I now realize that I may have missinterpreted the order of the reg.numbers. True is though that all five Maersk 720-051Bs were sold to Conair in 1981. I've never ever stated that Maersk Air or Conair were american companies though. Both were danish charter airline companies with their base at Copenhagen Kastrup, EKCH/CPH.

I have made a potentially contentious WP:Bold action on the English Electric Lightning article where a recent large "text dump" was moved to the talk page. I started to revise and edit the submission based on a WP:AGF when I noted this was an example of a roughly-translated and very magaziney-type edit. I have had "dealings" with the editor in question before, and although there is probably some good gen here, the sheer volume of the submission is daunting for a revision. The question is, however, what the reaction will be, as my Italian compatriot is often very adamant in advocating for the inclusion of his edits. FWiW Bzuk ( talk) 14:14, 20 April 2012 (UTC).
It appears that Stefano has now decided to ignore the consensus and advice of other editors, and shoved his edit in-full back into the article. He appears to not notice or care that other editors have pointed out it is a vague and needless repetition of the paragraph above; he's too busy insisting on doing everything entirely his own way I'd imagine. This attitude of his doesn't seem to be blunting in the slightest. Kyteto ( talk) 23:48, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey MilborneOne. Saw you undid my undo, just curious because your edit summary was "sorry not obvious you need to explain why somebody with no connection gets a mention in the article". Isn't that the case with every single "Reaction(s)" section? I think it's not unusual for neighbouring countries to issue "condolences" and it's particularly notable given the relationship between India and Pakistan. Anyway, I won't continue to war this one out, it's not that big a deal to me but it feels like a very big deal that the PM of India immediately and publicly expressed regrets. Cheers, bon weekend.

Hi
Hope i`m doing the right thing here. I understand you deleted the link I added to the Frank Morgan School of Flying from the Humberside Airport page.
My reason for adding the link was for information which is included in the page under the History section.
i.e. Humberside airport has a very high[quantify] amount of general aviation activity, with 5 resident flying clubs and organisations.
Is it possible for this change to be undone?

I don’t know if you have a watch on the RAF Jurby article but I am increasingly uncomfortable with developments there since 21 April. An editor, Harvey Milligan and (I think) his IP 178.16.2.72 have made hundreds of additions that have expanded the article from 4,300 bytes to over 50,000 bytes with almost no inline references.
The text that has been added has an authentic ring to it but is couched in prose and phrasing that sounds like it is straight out of a book, rather than in an encyclopedic style. My strong suspicion is that if there is not a bulk amount of copyvio involved, then original research is playing a large part. It is possible that quotes and paragraphs of Kniverton's "Manx Aviation in War and Peace” may be being employed, but I do not have access to a copy to check this.
The same editor has also vastly expanded the RAF Andreas and Hall Caine Airport entries, possibly from the same written sources. The editor has so far failed to respond to queries on the Jurby talkpage and his own talkpage, despite efforts by myself and Gavbadger to engage him in dialogue. I have held off large scale deletions of his additions for several weeks in the hope he would start adding some meaningful inline references … but I think it is now time for an experienced aviation interested administrator to cast his eyes over developments and become involved. 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 14:00, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Dear MilborneOne, someone with IP only and who insists on writing summaries in Portuguese in the English wikipedia, has been constantly making incorrect changes to Azul Brazilian Airlines destination table and Zona da Mata Regional Airport. The airport is located in a small municipality called Goianá but serves the much larger metropolitan area of Juiz de Fora. The latter is the main destination point but the IP insists in placing Goianá or even more incorrect Rio Novo as destination. Furthermore, the National Civil Aviation of Brazil, recognizes Goianá as the municipality where the airport is located, not Rio Novo. Just to give you an idea of the ridiculous situation, it is like someone insisting to place as an airline as having destination Roissy-en-France and not Paris, just because the airport is located in the small village of Roissy, and placing all the information concerning CDG as related to Roissy-en-France and not Paris. I therefore come to ask if it is possible to semi-protect both articles. I guess a month would be enough. I thank you a lot for your help. ( Brunoptsem ( talk) 11:25, 6 May 2012 (UTC))

Hi MB1. I know that you do a lot of work with images and I am having a problem with one on Commons that is affecting an article over here on English Wikipedia. The image, as seen on the right here, is a graph I created that tracks inter-election polling and is used in 42nd Canadian federal election. Because new polls are always being released the graph gets regularly updated and a new version uploaded as you can see in the file history. A couple of iterations ago the new versions stopped being displayed in the 800X382 px version, although the newest version does show up in every other version, such as the full-sized version, 320X153 px version and the 640X306 px version. This doesn't seem to be a server lag issue as it has been going on for several days. Unfortunately the article displays the thumbnail and the click-though both show the 800X382 px version, which is now quite out of date.

Dear Milborne, I hate to bother you after so long, but is it against Wikipedia Policy to use googlebooks and post a link to a facimilie page of an old publication for a reference? I found this one on the 1950s Hawker Sea Hawk naval fighter "Rocket Motor Doubles Power of Jet Aircraft." Popular Mechanics, February 1952, p. 116. About the fitting of a liquid fuel rocket to one Sea Hawk experimentally. The reason I am asking I got one of these Popular Mechanics references reversed with the statement google was no acceptable per Wiki policy. FYI, I am going to "let the revert stand". That is my personal policy. I don't engage in edit wars and when someone reverts my edits I just move on. It is just to tiresome to argue with a Wiki Fanatic. I am just curious as to why. But if I can't use or should not have use googlebooks I am going to cry. I have hundreds of references on Popular Science and Popular Mechanics on Wikipedia pages I will have to go back and take out -- ie plus quite a few articles on weapons I have wrote. And please. PLEASE don't tell me you can't use the FLIGHT internet database for references. Then I might have a massive heart problem.

Whether the C-47 has its own page or not does not determine whether it is a substantitally different aircraft. It is nearly the same aircraft, simply used for military transpot of personnel instead of civilian air travel. For instance, see Boeing's website article on the C-47 here: http://www.boeing.com/history/mdc/skytrain.htm
It says: "A reinforced fuselage floor and the addition of a large cargo door were the only major modifications. Other changes [to the DC-3] included the fitting of cargo hooks beneath the center wing section and the removal of the tail cone to mount a hook for towing gliders."

You wrote 'not notable to the aircraft take to the talk page' as an edit summary on Airbus CC-150 Polaris about the inclusion of the Canadian Psycho in the article. Your edit was to remove it.
I seek to understand the way to do things in Wikipedia, not to discuss with you about the airplane.
I thought the proper way was to remove the sentence and discuss it in the talk page. It was my impression that if you remove it and simply ask others to discuss it on the talk page, this might lead to hard feelings and edit wars.
In contrast, you just removed it and did not discuss it at all in the talk page.
Help me understand Wikipedia. Is my idea of doing things, described above, the preferred and less confrontational way? Or is your way the correct way? To avoid a conflict of interest in this discussion, I will not edit the Airbus CC-150 article, at least, not for 1-2 weeks, maybe never.

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

Hello MilborneOne,
I've just recently been an active wikipedian as I too admire aviation and am proud of my country's flag carrier, Garuda Indonesia. I've noticed that the said article was outdated a few weeks ago, especially the 'Fleet' section, so I've decided to update it with information from here, here, and here. However, someone kept on adding the Boeing 737-400 into the list, despite the sources above saying that they've all been stored or sold to other airlines. Garuda Indoensia itself have taken the 737-400 seats configuration off their website. The IP address suggested that the edits were done by different people but the edited content are always almost exactly the same, down to the sentence structure and words. I've reported this to JetBlast ( talk) through his talk page and he told me that chances are, it was done by the same person. He reverted the post, since there were no source included that could tell us whether Garuda still operates the 734 despite other sources saying it was phased out, and also warned all the IPs through their talk pages (Although I have my doubts whether he/she/they read them). However, earlier this day, someone with a different IP address added the same exact thing again. I reported this to JetBlast ( talk) once more and he told me to bring your attention towards this matter. Here's what he said: "I would basically say that different IP's keep adding this single aircraft with no source to back it up. After reverting the different IP's keep adding it back. Then tell them all IP's have had warnings about this on the talk pages. He might edit protect the page to stop it from happening. Thanks"
If possible and convinient, would you please take a look at my conversation with JetBlast ( talk) and the recent history of the Garuda Indonesia article, and evaluate if there are any actions necessary as the misleading edits could confuse people who reads them.
As for the actions I've taken, I've reverted the said 'edits' a few times while also cross-checking the information from the sources above with news articles, pictures taken and posted into sites like this and this, and also reading through forums (mainly this forum. It's considered to be the A-net of Indonesia). I've also posted the question of whether Garuda still operates 734s in that said forum ( here) and so far, the answers are contradicting with this said 'edits'.
I'll be looking forward to your reply. If there are anything that you would need to clarify with me in regards of my writing above, please ask me anytime. If it's more convenient for you to email me instead of replying to this here, feel free to do so anytime. Special:EmailUser/Vandreadstriker

The article would be only a stub because this is little info on it. I'd appreciate if you'd give me some input. Thanks. ...William 22:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello MilborneOne
Can you please stop using the Military Structure infobox for any bases that have had runways in the past. The correct infobox is the airport infobox like the one on the RAF Leconfield article, also can you please stop using the word "station" within any airport infobox and as i and many other users have been told to remove them from article we have edited.

Hello ! I noticed that You didn't approve of some of my edits on the "Boeing 720" article. Okay "special handeling" wasn't an optional headline. But i fail to see the error of mention things that is true about the aircraft, even if some of them may apply also to other early jet airliners. I'm sorry if I in some way intruded in some kind of a special project conc. accidents. My intention was only to give a summary of all registrated events. (And correcting the number of deaths in one case) I may be wrong about Maersk (Mærsk)being an original customer, but not all aircraft are accounted for. And a google on "OY-APZ", "OY-APU" etc. describes these as the first registration number. But I now realize that I may have missinterpreted the order of the reg.numbers. True is though that all five Maersk 720-051Bs were sold to Conair in 1981. I've never ever stated that Maersk Air or Conair were american companies though. Both were danish charter airline companies with their base at Copenhagen Kastrup, EKCH/CPH.

I have made a potentially contentious WP:Bold action on the English Electric Lightning article where a recent large "text dump" was moved to the talk page. I started to revise and edit the submission based on a WP:AGF when I noted this was an example of a roughly-translated and very magaziney-type edit. I have had "dealings" with the editor in question before, and although there is probably some good gen here, the sheer volume of the submission is daunting for a revision. The question is, however, what the reaction will be, as my Italian compatriot is often very adamant in advocating for the inclusion of his edits. FWiW Bzuk ( talk) 14:14, 20 April 2012 (UTC).
It appears that Stefano has now decided to ignore the consensus and advice of other editors, and shoved his edit in-full back into the article. He appears to not notice or care that other editors have pointed out it is a vague and needless repetition of the paragraph above; he's too busy insisting on doing everything entirely his own way I'd imagine. This attitude of his doesn't seem to be blunting in the slightest. Kyteto ( talk) 23:48, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey MilborneOne. Saw you undid my undo, just curious because your edit summary was "sorry not obvious you need to explain why somebody with no connection gets a mention in the article". Isn't that the case with every single "Reaction(s)" section? I think it's not unusual for neighbouring countries to issue "condolences" and it's particularly notable given the relationship between India and Pakistan. Anyway, I won't continue to war this one out, it's not that big a deal to me but it feels like a very big deal that the PM of India immediately and publicly expressed regrets. Cheers, bon weekend.

Hi
Hope i`m doing the right thing here. I understand you deleted the link I added to the Frank Morgan School of Flying from the Humberside Airport page.
My reason for adding the link was for information which is included in the page under the History section.
i.e. Humberside airport has a very high[quantify] amount of general aviation activity, with 5 resident flying clubs and organisations.
Is it possible for this change to be undone?

I don’t know if you have a watch on the RAF Jurby article but I am increasingly uncomfortable with developments there since 21 April. An editor, Harvey Milligan and (I think) his IP 178.16.2.72 have made hundreds of additions that have expanded the article from 4,300 bytes to over 50,000 bytes with almost no inline references.
The text that has been added has an authentic ring to it but is couched in prose and phrasing that sounds like it is straight out of a book, rather than in an encyclopedic style. My strong suspicion is that if there is not a bulk amount of copyvio involved, then original research is playing a large part. It is possible that quotes and paragraphs of Kniverton's "Manx Aviation in War and Peace” may be being employed, but I do not have access to a copy to check this.
The same editor has also vastly expanded the RAF Andreas and Hall Caine Airport entries, possibly from the same written sources. The editor has so far failed to respond to queries on the Jurby talkpage and his own talkpage, despite efforts by myself and Gavbadger to engage him in dialogue. I have held off large scale deletions of his additions for several weeks in the hope he would start adding some meaningful inline references … but I think it is now time for an experienced aviation interested administrator to cast his eyes over developments and become involved. 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 14:00, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Dear MilborneOne, someone with IP only and who insists on writing summaries in Portuguese in the English wikipedia, has been constantly making incorrect changes to Azul Brazilian Airlines destination table and Zona da Mata Regional Airport. The airport is located in a small municipality called Goianá but serves the much larger metropolitan area of Juiz de Fora. The latter is the main destination point but the IP insists in placing Goianá or even more incorrect Rio Novo as destination. Furthermore, the National Civil Aviation of Brazil, recognizes Goianá as the municipality where the airport is located, not Rio Novo. Just to give you an idea of the ridiculous situation, it is like someone insisting to place as an airline as having destination Roissy-en-France and not Paris, just because the airport is located in the small village of Roissy, and placing all the information concerning CDG as related to Roissy-en-France and not Paris. I therefore come to ask if it is possible to semi-protect both articles. I guess a month would be enough. I thank you a lot for your help. ( Brunoptsem ( talk) 11:25, 6 May 2012 (UTC))

Hi MB1. I know that you do a lot of work with images and I am having a problem with one on Commons that is affecting an article over here on English Wikipedia. The image, as seen on the right here, is a graph I created that tracks inter-election polling and is used in 42nd Canadian federal election. Because new polls are always being released the graph gets regularly updated and a new version uploaded as you can see in the file history. A couple of iterations ago the new versions stopped being displayed in the 800X382 px version, although the newest version does show up in every other version, such as the full-sized version, 320X153 px version and the 640X306 px version. This doesn't seem to be a server lag issue as it has been going on for several days. Unfortunately the article displays the thumbnail and the click-though both show the 800X382 px version, which is now quite out of date.

Dear Milborne, I hate to bother you after so long, but is it against Wikipedia Policy to use googlebooks and post a link to a facimilie page of an old publication for a reference? I found this one on the 1950s Hawker Sea Hawk naval fighter "Rocket Motor Doubles Power of Jet Aircraft." Popular Mechanics, February 1952, p. 116. About the fitting of a liquid fuel rocket to one Sea Hawk experimentally. The reason I am asking I got one of these Popular Mechanics references reversed with the statement google was no acceptable per Wiki policy. FYI, I am going to "let the revert stand". That is my personal policy. I don't engage in edit wars and when someone reverts my edits I just move on. It is just to tiresome to argue with a Wiki Fanatic. I am just curious as to why. But if I can't use or should not have use googlebooks I am going to cry. I have hundreds of references on Popular Science and Popular Mechanics on Wikipedia pages I will have to go back and take out -- ie plus quite a few articles on weapons I have wrote. And please. PLEASE don't tell me you can't use the FLIGHT internet database for references. Then I might have a massive heart problem.

Whether the C-47 has its own page or not does not determine whether it is a substantitally different aircraft. It is nearly the same aircraft, simply used for military transpot of personnel instead of civilian air travel. For instance, see Boeing's website article on the C-47 here: http://www.boeing.com/history/mdc/skytrain.htm
It says: "A reinforced fuselage floor and the addition of a large cargo door were the only major modifications. Other changes [to the DC-3] included the fitting of cargo hooks beneath the center wing section and the removal of the tail cone to mount a hook for towing gliders."

You wrote 'not notable to the aircraft take to the talk page' as an edit summary on Airbus CC-150 Polaris about the inclusion of the Canadian Psycho in the article. Your edit was to remove it.
I seek to understand the way to do things in Wikipedia, not to discuss with you about the airplane.
I thought the proper way was to remove the sentence and discuss it in the talk page. It was my impression that if you remove it and simply ask others to discuss it on the talk page, this might lead to hard feelings and edit wars.
In contrast, you just removed it and did not discuss it at all in the talk page.
Help me understand Wikipedia. Is my idea of doing things, described above, the preferred and less confrontational way? Or is your way the correct way? To avoid a conflict of interest in this discussion, I will not edit the Airbus CC-150 article, at least, not for 1-2 weeks, maybe never. That way, you can discuss with me the proper way to act in Wikipedia without having to feel like you have to defend your Airbus CC-150 edit.

Hi, can you fully protect Chicago Midway International Airport. There is a user that keeps vandalizing and it is currently a GA. Thanks! Kairportflier ( talk) 00:30, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't Kairportflier and Tim Zukas just discuss the dispute? If they want to ask me, I can give them an unbiased opinion. I purposely did not read the Midway article beyond a 2 second glance. Auchansa ( talk) 06:15, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Milborne,
re:
This, isn't
Flight Global a reliable ref? Perhaps
"A400M ATLAS naming ceremony at RIAT", direct from
Airbus Military is better? Regards,

![]() | On 8 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Edmonton air crash, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Order of the British Empire was awarded posthumously to two brothers following the Edmonton air crash? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Edmonton air crash. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.
If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:24, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, you've removed a lot of information about aircraft types operated from the Gulf Aviation article. The table 'as is' after your edits is now inaccurate. As a newbie, could you explain the rationale(s) for your edits so I can review them and then decide if they are appropriate? Thanks. Simon Woodhead ( talk) 19:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I recently noticed that you protected the Chicago-Midway International Airport with your admin rights. I saw that there was some kind of edit war, but how long will this protection status last? I only ask because right around August is when the NTSB releases their annual report on airport safety and the FAA releases official statistics for each airport. Given that (IATA:MDW) had an increased air traffic flow for the past year, I would imagine this would be a good contribution/statistic for the article. Have a good day!

Hi, there is a change in AirTran's new schedule that needs to be shown. Can you either remove the protection or I can tell you what to change, Thanks! Kairportflier ( talk) 16:00, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I popped over to Bristol Centaurus as I saw a post about NNPOV on the talk page. I was concerned that there was a problem with the article but then I realised the discussion relates to an article from another site (linked in the thread). It's misleading, the (WP) article itself seems to be fairly neutral with just a couple of uncited claims. Just wondering if that thread can be deleted, checked WP:TALK and WP:NOTFORUM but couldn't see the clear authority to do it myself. Cheers Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 09:46, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
There is an AFD for this incident and its been agreed between me and the article creator to make it a redirect. Can you please close the AFD? ...William 19:18, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Good Morning! |
Good Morning MilbourneOne! I apologize for all the disruptive edits. Anyway, here's a Veyron! Enjoy! Jayemd ( talk) 09:50, 21 July 2012 (UTC) |
Hello MilborneOne,
I've just recently been an active wikipedian as I too admire aviation and am proud of my country's flag carrier, Garuda Indonesia. I've noticed that the said article was outdated a few weeks ago, especially the 'Fleet' section, so I've decided to update it with information from here, here, and here. However, someone kept on adding the Boeing 737-400 into the list, despite the sources above saying that they've all been stored or sold to other airlines. Garuda Indoensia itself have taken the 737-400 seats configuration off their website. The IP address suggested that the edits were done by different people but the edited content are always almost exactly the same, down to the sentence structure and words. I've reported this to JetBlast ( talk) through his talk page and he told me that chances are, it was done by the same person. He reverted the post, since there were no source included that could tell us whether Garuda still operates the 734 despite other sources saying it was phased out, and also warned all the IPs through their talk pages (Although I have my doubts whether he/she/they read them). However, earlier this day, someone with a different IP address added the same exact thing again. I reported this to JetBlast ( talk) once more and he told me to bring your attention towards this matter. Here's what he said: "I would basically say that different IP's keep adding this single aircraft with no source to back it up. After reverting the different IP's keep adding it back. Then tell them all IP's have had warnings about this on the talk pages. He might edit protect the page to stop it from happening. Thanks"
If possible and convinient, would you please take a look at my conversation with JetBlast ( talk) and the recent history of the Garuda Indonesia article, and evaluate if there are any actions necessary as the misleading edits could confuse people who reads them.
As for the actions I've taken, I've reverted the said 'edits' a few times while also cross-checking the information from the sources above with news articles, pictures taken and posted into sites like this and this, and also reading through forums (mainly this forum. It's considered to be the A-net of Indonesia). I've also posted the question of whether Garuda still operates 734s in that said forum ( here) and so far, the answers are contradicting with this said 'edits'.
I'll be looking forward to your reply. If there are anything that you would need to clarify with me in regards of my writing above, please ask me anytime. If it's more convenient for you to email me instead of replying to this here, feel free to do so anytime. Special:EmailUser/Vandreadstriker
Thank You. - Vandreadstriker ( talk) 14:18, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
I just wanted to thank you for your help answering my question at the reference desk, re: William Bowen. Your research jump-started mine and turned a potential stub into a much better article. I really appreciate your taking the time and effort. Tlqk56 ( talk) 15:25, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Some Chinese Wikipedian told me, English Wikipedia is a improper place to discuss this issue. I closed the discussion and moved to meta. Please continue the discussion in meta.-- 王小朋友 ( talk) 08:17, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
