Proposed deletion of List of military aircraft by era

The article List of military aircraft by era has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

wikipedia is not a random collection of lists, encyclopedic value of list is not clear and aircraft by era is covered by the categorisation system and individual lists by country. Also most major conflicts are covered by categories or lists.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 11:18, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of military aircraft by era

An article that you have been involved in editing, List of military aircraft by era, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of military aircraft by era. Thank you.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. MilborneOne (talk) 11:57, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Ranks and insignia of NATO armies officers

With this edit, you placed a template saying: "It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Ranks and insignia of NATO armies enlisted. (Discuss)". Similarly at Ranks and insignia of NATO armies enlisted. However, I can not locate either discussion. Could you please direct me to the discussion(s)? Thanks, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:25, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
I am also unable to find the discussions for:

Pdfpdf (talk) 11:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The link for 'Discuss' should take you to the talk page, and I think you can discuss there. Jeremy (talk) 01:53, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
I agree that it should, and there should be be discussion there. But there isn't.
As you placed these templates, presumably you placed your rationale for doing so somewhere. Where? Pdfpdf (talk) 11:53, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
I haven't placed it anywhere yet. but I think I'll place my reasons for merging the various Enlisted and Officer ranks together here. It would make for a more concise list if someone was looking for all the ranks, and after all, I see no reason to have them seperate. Jeremy (talk) 21:29, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi

Hello AirplanePro, I'm Airplaneman. I saw your talk page on the recent changes log while igloo-ing. Great username you have there :). Nice to meet you! Airplaneman ✈ 01:55, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

As you. What is iglooing? Jeremy (talk) 02:02, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Vandal-fighting using the above linked program, which is similar to Huggle. Airplaneman ✈ 02:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm not so good with programming yet. I am hoping to get into it soon. Jeremy (talk) 02:50, 25 April 2010 (UTC)


Concerning a joke made in an AfD

  • >>you said that you would like to see a Civil War section and some more information<< I didn't quite say that. The quote ("What, no American Civil War? Seriously...") was simply a joke, since the first airplane didn't fly until more than 38 years after Appomattox. Technically, there were "aircraft", since balloons were used for observation during the War, although they weren't very effective because they couldn't be defended. Mandsford (talk) 18:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Oh. But what about the part '...with almost no information beyond a list of blue links and flags.'? I don't really get what information you would want. Jeremy (talk) 18:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tank gunner

A tag has been placed on Tank gunner requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Wanna barnstar?

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. Homework2 TalkWhat I do! 03:20, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much for signing up for the July Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two and a half years, all the way back to the beginning of 2008! We're really going to need all the help we can muster to get it down to a manageable number. We've ambitiously set a goal of clearing all of 2008 from the backlog this month. In order to do that, we're going to need more participants. Is there anyone that you can invite or ask to participate with you? If so, we're offering an award to the person who brings in the most referrals. Just notify ɳorɑfʈ Talk! or Diannaa TALK of who your referrals are. Once again, thanks for your support!

Reviewer permission

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:40, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, HJ Mitchell! I requested one yesterday, but it got moved to a archive without being answered. AirplaneProRadioChecklist 23:45, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Requested new ACC internal account.

I have requested a account on the ACC account request interface. AirplaneProRadioCelebrate Reviewer! 01:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

At this time i have declined your request to join WP:ACC. While i find it admirable that you wish to help i feel that you are still sort of finding your footing on Wikipedia. I would suggest trying out your new Reviewer right as MilHist is a fairly popular place to make use of it. I don't usually outright offer to but if you want some help in getting to know your way around Wikipedia and the policies and how things are done then i would be willing to help because i think that with a little guidance you could be a wonderful contributor. For one thing, i clerk at wikipedia:changing user name and i could help you or your brother through that.
I am actually the first person to get the "reviewer" user right itself here on Wikipedia, thought it was bundled into admin rights first. If you want to test it out there is http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page where you can get a feel for how "reviewer" works before you use it on articles here. Just ask for rights on that wiki's main page talk page and myself or another bureaucrat or admin on that wiki will grant you rights there. The labs wikis are for testing and learning so no worries if you make a mistake there. Your login for here will also work there. delirious & lost ☯ ~talk to her~ 02:46, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello AirplanePro, Mono has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!

Your contributed article, Rearguard (military)

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Rearguard (military). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Rear Guard. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Rear Guard - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Monstrelet (talk) 08:04, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
