Background: Airbus CC-150 Polaris: Revision history
The following exchange was transferred from User talk:MilborneOne, dated 29 May 2015 (for preservation of principle):
Hello; would you like to have all A319s and A321s changed to "German aircraft", because they are all german built? The same applies to the "Spanish aircraft" A400M. In my opinion they are all international projects. Best regards -- Uli Elch ( talk) 15:17, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Just so you know I have started a discussion on Category:Four-engined piston aircraft at the aircraft project, thanks. MilborneOne ( talk) 15:06, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

this one? They are not flying boats. Thanks. -

10:28, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
Done. --- I think that we now should start discussing both the respective category system and the defintions in the two articles Flying boat and Amphibious aircraft, which are partially contradictory (see also Floatplane).
In "Flying boat" the definition is: "A flying boat is a fixed-winged seaplane with a hull, allowing it to land on water, that usually has no type of landing gear to allow operation on land. It differs from a floatplane as it uses a purpose-designed fuselage which can float, granting the aircraft buoyancy." -- Uli Elch ( talk) 13:21, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Uli Elch,
Please do not add nonexistent, red link categories to articles. See WP:REDNOT for more information. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:16, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
I see you are deleting them if they have just 2 data points; but I understand those charts will update themselves based on the data that will be added to them in the future. So even if now there are just 2 data points and it looks not very attractive, 1. this is still better than no data at all 2. more data points can be added in the future and this chart will just take the data dynamically from the database as the user displays the article page in the future.

Hi, and thanks for the ping re HeeHeeYogen8. As far as my understanding goes, a user may delete content from their talk page, but not certain very specific things such as declined unblock requests. See WP:BLANKING. You've raised an interesting point, but as far as I am aware, removing a block notice is quite OK if done by that user. I would only remove talk page access if they started adding content unrelated to requesting an unblock. I'm OK with you reinserting the deleted text, but I'd advise not doing it again as I feel they're within their rights as it simply acknowledges they've read and digested the advice, help and guidance we all tried to leave for them. In fact, I can block someone without leaving any message on the talk page, though I always try to do that so they have some understanding of the issues. The key block rationale is always visible in any users' contributions. But I thank you for keeping me in informed. I now have a vast number of airport-related pages temporarily on my watch list lest these problems continue! Nick Moyes ( talk) 20:13, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I noticed that you've been adding leading zeros to runway numbers at US airports. I believe that this is not the correct way to represent them, as single-digit runways in the US (unlike most of the world) are not painted with leading zeros and charts here do not use them (see here for an example). It also goes against the airport infobox template's documentation and established consensus, though the most recent discussion on the matter that I could find is from 2006.
I've started a discussion here that you may want to take a look at and contribute to. Titan Andromeda 01:15, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Hey there, I have reverted your move of Norderney Airport to Norderney Airfield because both its official and its WP:COMMONNAME is Flughafen Norderney, which translates to "Norderney Airport". You are correct in that it is not an "airport", legally speaking, i.e. it is a Verkehrslandeplatz and not a Verkehrsflughafen, but that has no bearing on the article name. — M16A3NoRecoilHax ( talk) 16:44, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

As previously discussed above, I maintain that "Flughafen" is by far the more common descriptor. If you would like to expand on the fact that this is a "marketing name", I would suggest you do that in the article.
