User talk:BrittanyMNAWCAD

Welcome!

Hello, Nawcad, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Naval Air Warfare Center, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Good afternoon - I am the public affairs specialist for Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), the U.S. Navy's engineering command supporting all Navy aircraft and subsystems. Our command does not currently have a Wikipedia page as it does not exist at this time. NAWCAD is a government entity. It is not a for-profit business.

I have received your above message and requested a username change.

I respectfully request that my changes to the Naval Air Warfare Center's Wiki not be removed. They are factually accurate. I also respectfully request being unblocked to allow me to work on our command's draft Wikipedia page. I will send for peer review at completion. Thank you.

Hello Nawcad. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Nawcad. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Nawcad|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:08, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested a new username (BrittanyMNAWCAD).

I am a public affairs specialist supporting Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division. I am trying to accurately update the Naval Air Warfare Center's Wiki page, and create one for the command. We are the U.S. Navy's engineering command supporting all Navy aircraft and subsystems. There is no monetary gain in updating the information on the NAWC's page. There is no monetary gain in creating NAWCAD's page.

Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) conducts research, development, test,

evaluation and sustainment for all United States Navy and United States Marine Corps aircraft and

aircraft systems. It operates a test wing and ranges, facilities, laboratories and aircraft in support of

military operations worldwide.

NAWCAD employs more than 11,000 military and civilian engineers, testers, scientists, and other

professionals across four locations: Orlando, Florida; Lakehurst, New Jersey, St. Inigoes, Maryland and at

its headquarters in Patuxent River, Maryland. With an annual budget of more than $3 billion and 400

labs, NAWCAD is also the busiest flight test center in the world. It is one of two naval air warfare

centers, along with Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, that provides scientific and technical

support to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).

--

Naval Test Wing Atlantic is made up of four test and evaluation squadrons. Based in Patuxent River,

Maryland, the wing supports test and evaluation of aviation systems ranging from unmanned to rotary

and fixed-wing aircraft and subsystems. It also provides aircrew, aircraft assets, maintenance support,

operational and safety oversight, process and facility support for developmental flight and ground

testing.

Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Two One (HX-21) supports rotary-wing and tilt-rotor aircraft,

unmanned aerial systems and airborne systems, including the V-22, UH-1Y, AH-1Z, CH-53K, MH-60R, and

MH-60S.

Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Two Zero (VX-20) supports C-2A, C-12M, C-38, E-2C/D, E 6B, C/KC-

130J/T, MQ-4C, P-8A, and T-6A.

Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Two Three (VX-23) supports fixed wing tactical aircraft, including the

F/A-18 A/B/C/D and E/F, EA-18, T-45, and F-35.

Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Two Four (UX-24) is the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps’ first dedicated

test and evaluation squadron for unmanned aircraft systems, including fielded platforms like the Wasp,

RQ-11 Raven, RQ-20B Puma, RQ-21 Blackjack and MQ-8 Fire Scout.

The U.S. Naval Test Pilot School trains the world’s finest test pilots, flight officers and engineers in the

test and evaluation of aircraft and aircraft systems. Located in Patuxent River, Maryland, it is the only

U.S. source of rotary wing test pilots, and serves as the test pilot school for the U.S. Army. Its highly

competitive program has graduated almost two-thirds of all NASA astronauts.

Graduating two classes annually, the 11-month program includes 530 academic hours, 100 sorties and

120 flight hours. The syllabus is divided into three parts: fixed-wing, rotary-wing and airborne systems.

The school has also added test techniques for unmanned aviation systems. Each year, the school

graduates more flight test professionals than all other national and international flight test schools

combined.

Atlantic Test Ranges

The Atlantic Test Ranges are instrumented test ranges providing support test and training for aircraft,

aircrew and subsystems. The range features a telemetry center for real-time data transmission from up

to nine separate in-flight aircraft to ground engineering personnel. The center manages over 2,700

square miles of restricted airspace including targets and airspace over the mid-Atlantic seaboard.

Accept reason:

I have changed your username. Remember that you must be the only one using this account; other personnel in your office will need their own accounts. As you state that you represent at least part of the US Navy, before you edit anything, you must review and comply with the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy. Compliance with the latter is required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use. As you have a conflict of interest, you must make edit requests on the article talk pages of any articles related to the US Navy. 331dot (talk) 20:49, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Naval Air Warfare Center Aircrat Division (February 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Pythoncoder was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

WP:COI

Your submission at Articles for creation: Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (February 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Likely notable, but reads like a brochure for the organization. Please ensure that the writeups for the division are not copy-pasted or closely paraphrased from their website. Also needs more external sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Can you look into developing the article at Naval Air Station Patuxent River? I think NAWCAD would redirect there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:00, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@AngusWOOF NAWCAD is a tennant command at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, so once NAWCAD's wikipedia page is created, I'd be happy to submit an edit to NAS Patuxent River's page. NAWCAD is compmletely separate from NAS however. NAWCAD is the engineering arm of naval aviation. All research, development, test and evaluation of navy aircraft (blue angels, e-2S, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, etc.) comes out of NAWCAD. All of the test and evaluation squadrons listed on NAS Patuxent River's page (VX-23, HX-21, VX-20, etc.) are the test squadrons for aircraft at NAWCAD. They are the subordinate commands. An online encyclopedia that discusses navy aircraft, aircraft development compaines like Boeing and Lockheed Martin, NAWCAD's squadrons, and NAWCAD's sister command, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, is not accurate or complete without NAWCAD.

I've found this process very difficult and confusing. All of the above Wikipedia pages have lesser legitimacy, read less profressionally, and don't have as many sources as being required in this instance.

I've just tried to edit and found myself blocked for reasons I don't understand. I changed my username as requested and identified myself as an employee when I first started this. Unfortunately I cannot make the edits you've suggested. Can you pleased help me be unblocked so that I can make your suggested changes? Thank you kindly.
