VWN en WCN

Beste allemaal Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 13:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please read edit summary before reverting

I have noticed that you reverted the removal of an obviously false quote attributed to George H Bush on Iran Air Flight 655. Just because a quote is attributed to someone on a website that doesn't make it an authorative source. One of the "sources" cited is from Newsweek, but with no link to the original article. Searching through Newsweek's archive received no matches. Furthermore, a search on LexisNexis (which indexes stories from over 20,000 news sources and goes back over 100 years) also came up with no matches. I would say it's very safe to say that it's a hoax. UbberM 09:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To me an exact issue of News Week beats some search engine that indexes it. But since I don't have access to it, I'll leave it this way. And I had read your edit summary, I just didn't agree with it and find it very rude that you assume I did not. - Dammit 09:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Avro Tutor

Thanks for the well intentioned addition of flag graphics and country references for this article, however I have reverted it because these tags assume present rather than historical information, leading to idiocies (e.g. the People's Liberation Army Air Force did not purchase the Avro tutor during the 1930s).

---

thanks for your reply. Agree the list would be better more organised but didn't have time. Question mark before was the notation I was used to to indicate query. I know of a bookwith the answers and at some point I'll patch it up - whole article is a stub thrown together in a hurry when I realised there wasn't one for what was a significant aircraft. :-).

Speedy deletion

Thanks; I wasn't sure how to indicate that they were ready for deletion. Hgilbert 10:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

S-300

S-300 is a very advanced weapon system and I think I would have known about it if there were any in the Polish Army. If you have any doubts you can ask a polish wikipedian Joymaster (This user is able to contribute with an advanced level of English) who is a professional soldier and works in an anti-aircraft regiment.

Aeronautics Defense Pages

Dammit, I am currently working for Aeronautics Defense Systems, posting their product info on WikiPedia. How can I do this and avoid copyright violations which you have flagged me for. I have permission from ADF so how can I procede? Please let me know, I am new to this. ariel@compucall.co.il

Follow up question

If I remove the pictures will that be enougth to remove the copyright warning? I think i can obtain pictures which don't apear on the ADF website also when I was making the ADF pages i looked at [1] and they use wording and pictures direct from their web site? Why was I flagged while they aren't? Would it be enough to post a GDFL license on the ADF website? ariel@cmpucall.co.il

J-11

I removed merging reference from Su-27 article. The discussion clearly agree on oppose. Plus China not so long ago stated that all their fighters(including J-11) will include domestically developed engines(google "WS-10a"). Plus they actively developing radar technology. At the end we have a chance to see J-11 where only russian technology would be airframe design(itself maid in China). TestPilot 20:37, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

United States technological and industrial history

I'm working on United States technological and industrial history. You indicated you had an interest in the topic. Come on by and read what's been going on! Madcoverboy 19:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I just wanted to say that's a brilliant addition to the article! Thanks. Mark83 21:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, I'm glad my holiday pictures can be of some use here :-) - Dammit 21:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Adnec logo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Adnec logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sukhoi Su-33

Thanks for the fix in Su-33. I was trying to do what you did, but I left the square braces around it, which seems to be why I couldn't get it to work. Thanks again.--LWF 16:23, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KDC-10

We will have to agree to disagree as the dutch aircraft in my opinion are still modified DC-10s and not new-built KC-10s, although they are discussed further down in the article! - happy to go to the talk page for other opinions. 16:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Call for a close to the Survey at Fourth generation jet fighter

I have been mildly interested in all the machinations of the survey campaigning but now that a number of admins have been active and also been scrupulous in their scrutiny of the voting, I will ask the dissenting editors for their opinion on establishing a consensus and ending this survey for opinion. Remember that a consensus is not a strict adherence to a majority vote but an acceptance by all parties in a decision. With this proviso in mind, I will now cast a vote for Support with the disclaimer that Akinkhoo has recommended. FWIW, the normal period for establishing a consensus on a disputed issue is a week but due to the extraordinary circumstances engendered in this survey, the deadline was extended to allow other participants to register their vote. Please register your vote clearly at the associated talk page. Can you accept a Support consensus given a disclaimer will be written identifying the limitations of operational trials or exercises?

LOMAC Screens

Thanks for pointing me to the Ubisoft liscence mate, I had no idea about that. Great I guess I can keep those screenies in the article ;) Thanks. Gamer112 (talk) 08:42, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kh-29D

You asked a while back about the Kh-29D - I think I've found a Janes article that lets you work out what's happened, it's a made-up Western name for a possible upgrade of the seeker on the Kh-29T to use imaging infra-red (ie like Maverick, not Sidewinder). As an aside, I've cleaned up some of the "AWACS killer" articles (R-37 etc), but now I'm going to sort out the Russian AGM's.... Cheers Le Deluge (talk) 18:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
