Just had a read of R100. I spot that a number of weights in the prose are given in Short tons. eg gross lift around 156 short tons (142 t) uncited. The Flight article of 1929 gives an estimate of 156 tons which assuming Long tons is more like 170 short tons. Whatever the value is, it probably ought to be given in long tons. what do you think? GraemeLeggett ( talk) 20:19, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Btw is there a consensus on the gender of these things? The R101 article uses 'it', but r100 uses she at least once....she was used at the time, but I think modern use is it...any thoughts? TheLongTone ( talk) 22:51, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
You won't find it in Oxfam. Current price on Abebooks is £81 upwards...a copy with an inscrition to Else Cave-Brown-Cave from author a snip at £95. I think Kimber are a semi-vanity publishing house & probably not many were printed. A proper publisher might have employed an editor to cut about 25% of the book's length to advantage. Masefield could easily sustain a wkipedia biog btw: look him up in the DNB if you have online access. From memory, he also wrote the DNB entry on Burney. R100-wise, I'll stick in the figures at the lift & trim trials. & I'd like to semi-undo your change to the table in the Airhip scheme article: tonnes are fine, but repeating the units imo simply enlarges the table, and in a way the units don't matter; its about a comparison of numbers.
It is obviously notable, and certainly doesn't fall under "A7" for "speedy deletion"! TBr and ley 22:45, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi, at
List of Zeppelins, I see that you have amended a lot of HTML code from e.g. <div id=LZ16>
to <div id=LZ 16>
. Please note that this will break any inbound links, since the id=
attribute cannot contain spaces unless it's quoted, as in <div id="LZ 16">
. Try clicking on
List of Zeppelins#LZ and
List of Zeppelins#LZ 16 or a redirect like
Zeppelin LZ16 to see where you end up. It also creates invalid HTML, since every id=
must be unique, but you've set up 60+ identical IDs. --

Although I didn't agree with you, I appreciated your interest in this topic after experiencing some frustration with one other editor's constant objections to absolutely any mention of the subject. Could I ask you to revisit the AfD [1] page when you have a moment, and think about whether the added material, and talk page discussion, changes your mind about whether the whole article should be deleted? Even if you're still of the same view, I'd still be grateful for more than the couple of lines you've given us to date. Thanks. Brocach ( talk) 20:00, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Greetings, Long Tone. You tagged my newly created article Jerusalem Road 21 for speedy deletion because of lack of notability. I strongly disagree. Think about it: A new road is being created in East Jerusalem between Arab neighborhoods and Jewish neighborhoods (which the international community considers illegal and calls settlements). Notable? Left-wing groups claim this is an effort to solidify Israel's hold on East Jerusalem. Notable? Milions of dollars are being spent on this endeavor which Israeli authorities claim will improve transportation in the city. Notable? I fully expect new sections to be added to the article detailing these various points of view. The article is only a stub right now, but its notability will increase as other editors add their two cents. I implore you to remove the speedy deletion tag and allow the roots to sprout. Also, please note that the article already exists on Hebrew Wikipedia. In my opinion, the English article (which includes references) is already far more comprehnsive than the Hebrew one. Kind regards, -- @Efrat ( talk) 11:14, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

On 19 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bland Mayfly, which you created or substantially expanded.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bland Mayfly. 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.

Hey, just let you know that I declined the speedy on The Trade Off. It looks like it was released traditionally in DVD format, so it isn't really covered by A7. If it was an internet only release on something like YouTube or the like I could probably justify it, but it doesn't seem the case. The page is just neutrally written enough to where I'd probably say that it can't be speedied through anything we have now, so AfD would be the way to go with this.

Hi,
As I noted on the simplehuman page itself, I don't believe this article should be deleted for lack of asserted importance because I believe it meets Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. Specifically, Wikipedia's own notability article states that "Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards: 1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. 2)Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple third-party, independent, reliable sources. simplehuman undoubtedly meets both of these criteria. It is a well-known brand that sells across the US and internationally (in all the biggest home product retail chains) and the uncontested leader in high-end trash cans. It has been covered by almost every major publication (I cited the NY Times and Business Week alone in the short posting) not because of any PR campaign, but because their products have a much better design, are more durable, and have better technology than any other products out there. Far less notable companies have pages of their own. While the page could be better, and I am willing to make whatever changes are necessary to make it meet the guidelines, it's very hard to argue the legitimacy and notability of the company. Please let me know what changes you think would help the article stick!
Thanks so much, Roth3nyk ( Talk) 08:35, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
I've declined your speedy as A7 doesn't fit. It's a pair of murders and subsequent court proceedings, not a person or persons.

Hi, thanks for your interest. Actually I did source this material from the 1978 book The Wright Brothers: Heirs of Prometheus. The book was put out by the Smithsonian in 1978. It's important in that when the Wrights reneged on making the flight, and Wilbur would have probably been successful, it left the window open for Bleriot, the Count de Lambert and Hubert Latham. Several knowledgeable authors participated in the Wright Brothers book ie Tom Crouch, Richard P. Hallion, Paul Garber, Marvin McFarland. I didn't know there was a singular wiki article on the Daily Mail/Channel Prize itself so you may have a point. My inclusion of the paragraph in the Bleriot article is that Bleriot eventually made and won the flight. Indeed, one of the authors stated that "..I cast no shadows over Bleriot, he made a glorious flight in a doubtful aeroplane". Koplimek ( talk) 23:12, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Just dropping by to say thanks for continuing the work on this article - fixing the things I missed. I would have gone back to look for typos etc but I hope the edit I did meets with the general approval of the early aviation team. The article was sadly quite terrible and I hope it is now a bit better or at least a base to work on. In passing, have you read Jem Shaw's novel "The Larks"? It is a nice WWI aviation based tale and quite well written for a first novel. Jem is an early aviation enthusiast as is his brother, the English actor, Martin Shaw :-) Kind regards, Myrtle.

catching the copyvios from another editor (Percivale Liesching and others) . As reviewing administrator, I've dealt with these by reducing the articles to minimal stubs as an alternative to deletion. It's a preferred alternative, and serves as a place marker. Deletion is also a good way to deal with them, and if I had not had the time to immediately stubbify, I would have deleted, as I have done many hundreds of times over the years.
Unfortunately, the editor does not seem to understand, I have given him an unmistakable warning, and I shall follow it up with blocking if necessary. Everything you said to him was absolutely correct, and I hope you were not put off by the tone of his replies. . But if you see any further before I do , let me know on my talk page.

Masefield could easily sustain a wkipedia biog btw: look him up in the DNB if you have online access. From memory, he also wrote the DNB entry on Burney.

Left-wing groups claim this is an effort to solidify Israel's hold on East Jerusalem. Notable? Milions of dollars are being spent on this endeavor which Israeli authorities claim will improve transportation in the city. Notable? I fully expect new sections to be added to the article detailing these various points of view. The article is only a stub right now, but its notability will increase as other editors add their two cents. I implore you to remove the speedy deletion tag and allow the roots to sprout. Also, please note that the article already exists on Hebrew Wikipedia. In my opinion, the English article (which includes references) is already far more comprehnsive than the Hebrew one. Kind regards, -- @Efrat ( talk) 11:14, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
I seconded your WP:PROD but I suspect someone will take the prod down before its 7-day expiration is up. When or if that happens, I'll AFD it. This is not a notable incident at all. ...William 17:40, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

On 19 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bland Mayfly, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that when Lilian Bland built an aircraft in 1910, she used her aunt's ear-trumpet and a whisky bottle to feed petrol to the engine? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bland Mayfly. 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. |

Hello TheLonTone, I have compiled a page on Hubert Le Blon, and have thus mentioned the 1910 Olympia Show and the Humber (le Blon type) aircraft. But I am unsure what the official name ofthe 1910 show was, so could I ask you to check HLB and comment/fix it. Many thanks. Chienlit ( talk) 13:24, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
p.s. What do you intend to call your article, I would like to link it from HLB.

(because we still editing in the article ,first we just add it with links to check how it looks to describe full info of website content but trust it there is nothing that are promotional we just describe the website history with its specialities and content of catagories. but its still looks like promotional so we can change the whole article without external link ,so please remove speedy deletion tag) thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Funmela ( talk • contribs) 21:37, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

I was not hungry to waste my time too much to create the article.i just wanted to help Wikipedia. I visited the page, list of article requested for creation/business. In order to help Wikipedia I wasted my whole day to create this article and my whole hard work was reduced to rubble by your just one click.

Hi LongTone- I've attempted a very rough draft of inclusion criteria for aviation pioneers in my sandbox along with the table format list. I'd like to get your feedback on it and perhaps tweak it a bit before bringing it to the list talk page. It's just a draft, and I'm very open to suggestions.

Hey, just let you know that I declined the speedy on The Trade Off. It looks like it was released traditionally in DVD format, so it isn't really covered by A7. If it was an internet only release on something like YouTube or the like I could probably justify it, but it doesn't seem the case. The page is just neutrally written enough to where I'd probably say that it can't be speedied through anything we have now, so AfD would be the way to go with this.

Hello Frze,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sean Lane (Entrepreneur) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia. If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marcel Brindejonc des Moulinais, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Battle of the Marne ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hey, just thought I'd drop you a note to say that I declined the speedy on Al Tamimi Investments. Notability is still in question, but the contest they run has received some news coverage, which makes it squeak by the speedy rationale.

Hi,
This is just to let you know that I was intending to merge the important facts from the chronological lists into the main text, and ditch the rest. So it may not be worth tidying them too conscientiously. If you have other ideas, please do tell on the article talk page. Many thanks for helping, too. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 20:11, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
As I noted on the simplehuman page itself, I don't believe this article should be deleted for lack of asserted importance because I believe it meets Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. Specifically, Wikipedia's own notability article states that "Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards: 1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. 2)Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple third-party, independent, reliable sources. simplehuman undoubtedly meets both of these criteria. It is a well-known brand that sells across the US and internationally (in all the biggest home product retail chains) and the uncontested leader in high-end trash cans. It has been covered by almost every major publication (I cited the NY Times and Business Week alone in the short posting) not because of any PR campaign, but because their products have a much better design, are more durable, and have better technology than any other products out there. Far less notable companies have pages of their own. While the page could be better, and I am willing to make whatever changes are necessary to make it meet the guidelines, it's very hard to argue the legitimacy and notability of the company. Please let me know what changes you think would help the article stick!
Thanks so much, Roth3nyk ( Talk) 08:35, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
I've declined your speedy as A7 doesn't fit. It's a pair of murders and subsequent court proceedings, not a person or persons. It's not one as well known as, say, Maria Marten, but national interest is claimed. Could do with more refs, but that's not easy for that date. Peridon ( talk) 19:33, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello TheLongTone, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of 15Five, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7.

Hi, thanks for your interest. Actually I did source this material from the 1978 book The Wright Brothers: Heirs of Prometheus. The book was put out by the Smithsonian in 1978. It's important in that when the Wrights reneged on making the flight, and Wilbur would have probably been successful, it left the window open for Bleriot, the Count de Lambert and Hubert Latham. Several knowledgeable authors participated in the Wright Brothers book ie Tom Crouch, Richard P. Hallion, Paul Garber, Marvin McFarland. I didn't know there was a singular wiki article on the Daily Mail/Channel Prize itself so you may have a point. My inclusion of the paragraph in the Bleriot article is that Bleriot eventually made and won the flight. Indeed, one of the authors stated that "..I cast no shadows over Bleriot, he made a glorious flight in a doubtful aeroplane". Koplimek ( talk) 23:12, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Just dropping by to say thanks for continuing the work on this article - fixing the things I missed. I would have gone back to look for typos etc but I hope the edit I did meets with the general approval of the early aviation team. The article was sadly quite terrible and I hope it is now a bit better or at least a base to work on. In passing, have you read Jem Shaw's novel "The Larks"? It is a nice WWI aviation based tale and quite well written for a first novel. Jem is an early aviation enthusiast as is his brother, the English actor, Martin Shaw :-) Kind regards, Myrtle.

catching the copyvios from another editor (Percivale Liesching and others) . As reviewing administrator, I've dealt with these by reducing the articles to minimal stubs as an alternative to deletion. It's a preferred alternative, and serves as a place marker. Deletion is also a good way to deal with them, and if I had not had the time to immediately stubbify, I would have deleted, as I have done many hundreds of times over the years.
Unfortunately, the editor does not seem to understand, I have given him an unmistakable warning, and I shall follow it up with blocking if necessary. Everything you said to him was absolutely correct, and I hope you were not put off by the tone of his replies. . But if you see any further before I do , let me know on my talk page.

Hello TheLongTone, you shouldn't bundle articles in with another editor's AFD especially when comments have already been made.

Well as I said it's way past my bedtime, so I'll leave it to tomorrow & if the additions get reverted so be it. As I said, I'll start a new AfD for some of the articles then.
