I'm sorry you found my edit to be innapropriate. Admittedly I did not look through the entire history of the article. I was recent changes patrolling and I reverted the removal of a lot of content by an anonymous user. The information they had removed had most recently been added by a registered user, Tymun, so I assumed it was not constructive to remove it. Additionally, I hardly find the warning Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lockheed F-104 Starfighter with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. "bity," it is inappropriate to remove large chunks of an article without giving a reason. Millermk90 ( talk) 00:46, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Where do you come across these strange aircraft designs? Thought I'd heard of most of them and then you spring two aircraft joined together by a giant pylon. I've prowled through Flight and I can't make a link between the flying Tiger CAMCO and a 1960s design group - so your instinct is right there. PS If you haven't already done so, the Pathe link is rather good (IMHO). Now must be off - while trying to find Flight material on the V-Liner I saw a British tilt-rotor design that looked rather interesting... GraemeLeggett ( talk) 19:46, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Nigel Ish. I noticed your efforts to cite entries on the Variants subsection of the AW101 article; so I assumed that you may have access to further materials. There are only three or four models listed now that don't have a cite for them; I'm still working on getting that sorted, but if you have an easy solution already, could you either drop me a line with the answer, or just fill it in yourself? It would be appreciated, I don't mind doing the work myself if that makes it easier. Thanks. Kyteto ( talk) 23:45, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

For locating hard to find refs for CASA C-212 Aviocar operators! - Ahunt ( talk) 15:38, 2 March 2012 (UTC) |
Hi Nigel Ish,
I just stumbled across
User:Nigel Ish/Sandbox Jodel Ambassadeur, when I was browsing Commons for images of the Jodel DR 100 family. I am recently working on an Article about those aircraft for the german language Wikipedia (see
de:User:El Grafo/Jodel DR100
de:Jodel DR 100). You are probably not done yet too, but it looks like the information available from Jane's might be to some point incomplete or inaccurate concerning the sub-models (for example, the name Ambassadeur was not used until the DR.105 came out). I have recently acquired two excellent French Books about the Jodel and Robin aircraft. If you can read French, I might be able to send you some copies of the relevant pages – or if you can't, maybe I am able to answer you some questions. Greetings, --

Hello Nigel. I remember from the AW101 that you appear to have a good source of reference materials when it comes to helicopters, so I wondered, would there be anything on my current undertaking, the Westland Sea King? I've completed the basic core overhaul of the text, which isn't perfect but stands as a great deal better than previous conditions, I'm still scratching up a few more books here and there, but it isn't likely I'm going to come across a compendium of model/variant designations I'm afraid. If you have time on your hands, could you check for me? If I can do any favours in return, let me know, I'll be happy to assist you. Kyteto ( talk) 21:22, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Most of these quotes were taken from google book previews. My concern is that should google cease to preview those sources in future, then sooner or later someone might challenge any information in the article. And I'm not sure if simply providing the book and page as a source is reliable enough (unless wiki policy permits that). I certainly hope that copyvio is not the case, but if it is then I'm more than willing to revert my edits. Wolcott ( talk) 17:12, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Nigel: It looks like you got left out of notification of this even though you were part of the talk page discussion. - Ahunt ( talk) 23:10, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
I hold the view that describing the DC-9 as Out of Production, in Limited Service is the only proper and truthful way to go. The aircraft is not in production anymore (although I wish they would restart it and the DC-10), and it unlike the later DC-10 is only seen in limited use unlike said DC-10. A check out outside sources bore this out to me. So I must insist that the description be restored as stated above. If anyone wishes to disagree, tell me so and I'll consider your statements. But accuracy and truthfulness must be upheld in descriptions of objects and events, I always have believed that. In Re, in case you ask is a Latin phrase, in English it's "In The Matter Of" or "Concerning (The Matter Of)". I tend you use In Re alot in titling my writings. I will be restoring my own edit version pending an opinion from an administrator I contacted for instructions. I ask you not try to override me again until his opinion is received. It's Finlayson I contacted in case you wish to know. 68.236.155.234 ( talk) 20:22, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Your claim that Flight International is one of the "Most reliable sources" is based solely on your opinion. How can I verify this? I would have to buy a subscription, they don't carry this magazine at my library WP:Reliable sources/Cost. Should I just hope you made a " good faith edit "? Maybe you misread part of it. I have read similar articles in Aviation Week & Space Technology and unfortunately they (Aviation Magazines) sometimes recycle their "current military operators" lists from the previous year. (So they may not be as up to date). The sources I provided allows the reader to physically see on-line what is being represented in this article. Clearly this Bo105 sports the title of Canadian Coast Guard Fisheries and Oceans Canada on the side on the it's fuselage. Other sources I used like this this is very specific to the operator, registration number. and last year sold. I realize that some sources, can't relay if the fleets are current. I don't mean to impugn on your work, and I'm sure your very good at what you do here. I apologizes for trampling over you work, and will add my references as a secondary source.

I appreciate you pointing the Helis.com site snafu with respect to the WP:SPS, I guess I'll have to do some more digging to find better sources. I would like to bring to your attention, that while Flight International is a fine magazine, their lists aren't always current. Example Royal Thai Air force S-92 but yet no listing, on Flight International. Here you put the UH-1N back with the US Navy as a current user, unfortunately these guys had it right. backed up with these: [1] [2] [3] [4] One of the reasons am not a big fan of the "magazine instant lists". And it's gotta make you wonder, where'd they information from? Same place the guys from Helis.com got theirs? Anyways this isn't a tit-for tat, I just wanted to make you aware of the glitch. I'm a stickler when it comes to sourcing items, and probably do more investigating references than I should. Cheers FOX 52 ( talk) 07:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
You completely skipped over the first and most important example straight from the horse's mouth. How do you explain their omission of the S-92 for the Korean Air Force and Royal Thai Air force. This list is as current as they get - 2013. I wish it was as simple as a "one stop-shop list". Unfortunately these magazines don't put in much effort to review every Air Force's status. I have found similar issues with Aviation Week & Space Technology year end World Air Force listings FOX 52 ( talk) 18:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

About this edit, are you saying that all males that were 19 and older were conscripted prior to the Battle of Caporetto? Does that mean that after the battle, Italy decreased the required age for conscription to 18? If so, I think we should reword the article, because as it stands right now, it looks like Italy was just picking on anyone who was the specific age of 18, while ignoring everyone older or younger.

Hello Mr Ish. Looking through my photo collection, I have found a slide of the prototype RFB Fanliner which I took at the June 1975 Paris Air Show. I have just contributed it to Wiki Commons as 'RFB Fanliner D-EJFL LEB 07.06.75 edited-3.jpg'. To my eyes, this type seems much the same as the Fantrainer. However it predates the Fantrainer by three years. The Fanliner is not listed in the Wiki type index, which is surprising. I see that you have made major contributions to the Fantrainer article, so I wonder if you might use your accumulated knowledge to decide whether to add the Fanliner (so described at Paris in 1975) to the Fantrainer article. I cannot find any references to the Fanliner anywhere and think you would be best placed to add it, if you so judge, to the existing Wiki article. Regards RuthAS ( talk) 21:40, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Nigel, I recognise the quality of the changes you made to HMS Firedrake (1912), but the reference you gave for her having 2 shafts said nothing about the number of shafts in a Yarrow Special Acheron-class destroyer.

I'm sorry you found my edit to be innapropriate. Admittedly I did not look through the entire history of the article. I was recent changes patrolling and I reverted the removal of a lot of content by an anonymous user. The information they had removed had most recently been added by a registered user, Tymun, so I assumed it was not constructive to remove it. Additionally, I hardly find the warning Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lockheed F-104 Starfighter with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. "bity," it is inappropriate to remove large chunks of an article without giving a reason. Millermk90 ( talk) 00:46, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Where do you come across these strange aircraft designs? Thought I'd heard of most of them and then you spring two aircraft joined together by a giant pylon. I've prowled through Flight and I can't make a link between the flying Tiger CAMCO and a 1960s design group - so your instinct is right there. PS If you haven't already done so, the Pathe link is rather good (IMHO). Now must be off - while trying to find Flight material on the V-Liner I saw a British tilt-rotor design that looked rather interesting... GraemeLeggett ( talk) 19:46, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Nigel Ish. I noticed your efforts to cite entries on the Variants subsection of the AW101 article; so I assumed that you may have access to further materials. There are only three or four models listed now that don't have a cite for them; I'm still working on getting that sorted, but if you have an easy solution already, could you either drop me a line with the answer, or just fill it in yourself?

Hi Nigel Ish,
I just stumbled across
User:Nigel Ish/Sandbox Jodel Ambassadeur, when I was browsing Commons for images of the Jodel DR 100 family. I am recently working on an Article about those aircraft for the german language Wikipedia (see
de:User:El Grafo/Jodel DR100
de:Jodel DR 100). You are probably not done yet too, but it looks like the information available from Jane's might be to some point incomplete or inaccurate concerning the sub-models (for example, the name Ambassadeur was not used until the DR.105 came out). I have recently acquired two excellent French Books about the Jodel and Robin aircraft. If you can read French, I might be able to send you some copies of the relevant pages – or if you can't, maybe I am able to answer you some questions. Greetings, --

Hello Nigel. I remember from the AW101 that you appear to have a good source of reference materials when it comes to helicopters, so I wondered, would there be anything on my current undertaking, the Westland Sea King? I've completed the basic core overhaul of the text, which isn't perfect but stands as a great deal better than previous conditions, I'm still scratching up a few more books here and there, but it isn't likely I'm going to come across a compendium of model/variant designations I'm afraid. If you have time on your hands, could you check for me? If I can do any favours in return, let me know, I'll be happy to assist you. Kyteto ( talk) 21:22, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Most of these quotes were taken from google book previews. My concern is that should google cease to preview those sources in future, then sooner or later someone might challenge any information in the article. And I'm not sure if simply providing the book and page as a source is reliable enough (unless wiki policy permits that). I certainly hope that copyvio is not the case, but if it is then I'm more than willing to revert my edits. Wolcott ( talk) 17:12, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

I hold the view that describing the DC-9 as Out of Production, in Limited Service is the only proper and truthful way to go. The aircraft is not in production anymore (although I wish they would restart it and the DC-10), and it unlike the later DC-10 is only seen in limited use unlike said DC-10. A check out outside sources bore this out to me. So I must insist that the description be restored as stated above. If anyone wishes to disagree, tell me so and I'll consider your statements. But accuracy and truthfulness must be upheld in descriptions of objects and events, I always have believed that. In Re, in case you ask is a Latin phrase, in English it's "In The Matter Of" or "Concerning (The Matter Of)". I tend you use In Re alot in titling my writings. I will be restoring my own edit version pending an opinion from an administrator I contacted for instructions. I ask you not try to override me again until his opinion is received.

Your claim that Flight International is one of the "Most reliable sources" is based solely on your opinion. How can I verify this? I would have to buy a subscription, they don't carry this magazine at my library WP:Reliable sources/Cost. Should I just hope you made a " good faith edit "? Maybe you misread part of it. I have read similar articles in Aviation Week & Space Technology and unfortunately they (Aviation Magazines) sometimes recycle their "current military operators" lists from the previous year. (So they may not be as up to date). The sources I provided allows the reader to physically see on-line what is being represented in this article. Clearly this Bo105 sports the title of Canadian Coast Guard Fisheries and Oceans Canada on the side on the it's fuselage. Other sources I used like this this is very specific to the operator, registration number. and last year sold. I realize that some sources, can't relay if the fleets are current. I don't mean to impugn on your work, and I'm sure your very good at what you do here. I apologizes for trampling over you work, and will add my references as a secondary source.

I appreciate you pointing the Helis.com site snafu with respect to the WP:SPS, I guess I'll have to do some more digging to find better sources. I would like to bring to your attention, that while Flight International is a fine magazine, their lists aren't always current. Example Royal Thai Air force S-92 but yet no listing, on Flight International. Here you put the UH-1N back with the US Navy as a current user, unfortunately these guys had it right. backed up with these: [1] [2] [3] [4] One of the reasons am not a big fan of the "magazine instant lists". And it's gotta make you wonder, where'd they information from? Same place the guys from Helis.com got theirs? Anyways this isn't a tit-for tat, I just wanted to make you aware of the glitch. I'm a stickler when it comes to sourcing items, and probably do more investigating references than I should. Cheers FOX 52 ( talk) 07:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
You completely skipped over the first and most important example straight from the horse's mouth. How do you explain their omission of the S-92 for the Korean Air Force and Royal Thai Air force. This list is as current as they get - 2013. I wish it was as simple as a "one stop-shop list". Unfortunately these magazines don't put in much effort to review every Air Force's status.

About this edit, are you saying that all males that were 19 and older were conscripted prior to the Battle of Caporetto? Does that mean that after the battle, Italy decreased the required age for conscription to 18? If so, I think we should reword the article, because as it stands right now, it looks like Italy was just picking on anyone who was the specific age of 18, while ignoring everyone older or younger.

Hello Mr Ish. Looking through my photo collection, I have found a slide of the prototype RFB Fanliner which I took at the June 1975 Paris Air Show. I have just contributed it to Wiki Commons as 'RFB Fanliner D-EJFL LEB 07.06.75 edited-3.jpg'. To my eyes, this type seems much the same as the Fantrainer. However it predates the Fantrainer by three years. The Fanliner is not listed in the Wiki type index, which is surprising. I see that you have made major contributions to the Fantrainer article, so I wonder if you might use your accumulated knowledge to decide whether to add the Fanliner (so described at Paris in 1975) to the Fantrainer article. I cannot find any references to the Fanliner anywhere and think you would be best placed to add it, if you so judge, to the existing Wiki article. Regards RuthAS ( talk) 21:40, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
