About aircraft-stub template

Yes, deleting the template would un-categorize all the articles we worked hard to categorize. Which would be unfortunate. I voted "keep" on the deletion page as well. -- WB 19:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's implicit in the deletion nomination that after deletion, the malformed stub type would be replaced by appropriate stub templates for each of the appropriate size. Lest this not be the case, I shall make this explicit. I'm boggled that people are trotting out to vote keep on these grounds. Alai 01:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There were hundreds, probably thousands of articles. It would probably take a very long time to get through them all. I've asked the user who did most of the recategorisation itself for his opinion on it. --GW_Simulations 21:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi from RockinRob

Hi, I'm the one one who put the comment on the spacecraft Talk Page. I suppose it was a bad idea to respond to the guy who replaced the phrase "steer the spacecraft", but I was just really frustrated by that. I'm sure you know that there is enough to edit on Wikipedia without having to undo the work of vandals. Anyway, sorry if you were offended. Rob 23:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't offended, it's just there has been a lot of controversy about simillar word choices in other articles. --GW_Simulations 20:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not here to cause controversy. I'd like to ask your opinion. I've been making edits to spacecraft, but I just found Spacecraft design, and I think what I'm trying to accomplish would be better in that article. I wanted to create a page that would have material similar to what might be presented in a spacecraft design course, minus a lot of the math. There seems to be a lot of articles already that could be linked to from such an article for more rigorous details. But I think spacecraft could exist for a more general audience. You seem to have a lot of expereince with spacecraft, I thought your opinion would be helpful. Rob 02:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- It would probably be better off in Spacecraft Design. If it is a more professional article, eg. a course, then it would probably be better to aim for the more select audience. I've added a link to it at the bottom of spacecraft anyway. --GW_Simulations 19:11, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of scheduled rocket launches

Per my desire to create articles that don't need constant maintenance, would you have much of an objection to just moving it straight over to List of spaceflights (2006) or something similar? That way we could just leave already launched missions on the list and keep them around for reference. Night Gyr 20:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:inuse vs. Template:underconstruction

Hi, I noticed you left {{inuse}} up for a couple days on a number of "List of spaceflights (year)" articles. This template is intended to prevent [[Help:Edit conflict|edit conflicts], and states that people should not edit the article while the template is up, discouraging contributions. Thus, it should only be used if you currently have an edit box open, and are making a major edit. I believe, however, that the template you want is {{underconstruction}}, which states that although the article is undergoing major revamping, contributors are welcome to help. I believe this is what you are interested in, as it would be consistent with the "This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it." note you have on the pages.

Upon reading the message you left on my talk page, it seems you may have a cause for the template. However, would it be possible for you to just work on one page at a time? Also, I don't know your technical situation, but is there a reason this can't be done in a number of smaller edits, updating the page as you make your changes? Armedblowfish (talk|contribs) 21:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The old and new formats are extremly different - compare List of spaceflights (2006) (new) to List of spaceflights (1960) (old) and you'll soon spot a lot of differences, so they cannot be done a bit at a time. It is boring work, so I do most of it when I've nothing better to do. This often involves a computer that has no internet access, so I have to do them in batches because I cannot always just "go and get" the next one when I need it. --GW_Simulations_{|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail} 21:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I've restored the inuse templates with a more descriptive message approximating how long, describing the purpose, and suggesting that users note changes they would like made to the article on the talk page (thus encouraging their contributions). I'm not sure if it's a touchy subject for you, but including a description of your technical situation on the talk pages, and/or an invisible comment after the inuse template, might help avoid concern over the amount of time the inuse templates are being left up. Armedblowfish (talk|contribs) 22:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: tags

No, the inuse tag is just for short edit sessions to avoid edit conflicts. At a glance, the articles in question were not being editted at all, so edit conflicts seem very unlikely. Just make the edits you want without the inuse tag, it's completly possible. Using the inuse tag to "reserve" articles for prolonged periods of time, has been deteremined by consensus to be unacceptable. Thanks. --W.marsh 18:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It cannot all be done in one go, due to the length of time required. It is boring work, so I do most of it when I've nothing better to do. This often involves a computer that has no internet access, so I have to do them in batches because I cannot always just "go and get" the next one when I need it. This is why the inuse tags were in place. (There's nothing worse than doing several hours of editing, only to get an edit conflict. See above. --GW_Simulations_{|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail} 18:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's just not what the inuse template is really for. I'm sympathetic to your situation, but I don't think edit conflicts are really likely. You might check to see if you're going to get one before saving, and integrate the changes made into your edit. I really doubt it would take more than a minute or two. It's worth that so we can keep the article open and freely edittable, in other words. Just try it and see if it works. --W.marsh 18:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is possible, but I have found in the past that there are often a few of these edits together. I am using the tag to stop these. Also, 5 days is the maximum downtime. I am predicting that 1960 will be done tomorrow, and 1961 by Monday. --GW_Simulations_{|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail} 20:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

US aircraft navbox

It's a good idea, but it's the same idea as a category while taking more space. If you've looked at C-130 Hercules in the last week, it had no less than five navboxes - active US, active Canada, active UK, some ridiculous Lockheed products one, and the standard WP:Air {{Aviation lists}}. It was a mess, and it was taking up about 1/5 of the total page length. That's where navboxes become a problem - they're okay individually, but not compatible with others. ericg ✈ 21:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Lockheed one is also in my sights. There's already an extensive list of Lockheed aircraft. If you'd like to give a hand with the UK one, all I'm doing is moving the template transclusion code into the |lists= portion of {{aircontent}}. ericg ✈ 21:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature

Hello there, I was wondering if you would please modify your signature to conform to the guidelines laid out at Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages. The general guidelines are that signatures shouldn't contain images, they shouldn't contain unnecessary internal links or any external links, and they shouldn't be unnecessarily long in Wiki source. The reasoning for this final bit is that overly long signatures tend to overwhelm the actual comments in edit mode, making it hard to track down and respond to specific comments. You can fix your signature by removing any images and external links, any unnecessary links (like links to Wikipedian organizations, articles, or subpages in userspace), and removing excessive color, font, and formatting code. Thank you. --Cyde Weys 19:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NASA Nomenclature

I would say that the best way is to use "Project ***", as this appears to be in most common usage. The excepteion is the Space Shuttle.

List of spaceflights

Hello, GW Simulations. I reached your page from List of spaceflights (2006) and List of spaceflights (2007), where you made many interesting contributions. If you don't mind me asking, where do you read about these things (for example, the NRO launches)? Can you recommend a source? Thanks! (vedantm 05:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I have listed all sources at the bottom of every page. I have found that the following four websites are the most useful:

SpaceFlightNow
Encyclopedia Astronautica
NASA
Jonathan's Space Report (SatCat.txt and Launchlog.txt)

Spaceflight Now is most useful for current spaceflight, Astronautix is most useful for historical, and also sub-orbital flights, NASA & JSR are good for both. --GW_Simulations_{|User Page | Talk | Contribs | Chess | E-mail} 18:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marcos Pontes

Regarding the naming of this person as either an "astronaut" or a "cosmonaut", there is a discussion going in the article's talk page where the consensus forming indicates that the term "astronaut" should be preferred. Your changes in the article in that regard have now been reverted for a second time (the first had an edit summary urging you to visit the talk page). I recommend that you do not edit this specific aspect of that article again without first engaging the discussion on the talk page and gaining support to your view. Please notice that continuing to revert the changes while ignoring an ongoing discussion about which you've been made aware of is considered disruption, and reverting frequently may be defined as edit warring. Any of those could cause you to be blocked from editing temporarily (please see our Blocking Policy). Thank you, Redux 03:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That was a mistake. I was just going through Category:Out-of-date Astronaut Infoboxes and carrying out updates based on the missions that they had flown. There were over 400, so I did not have time to view each case individually. Please remember to WP:AGF, if you had taken a look at my Contributions, you would have seen this was the case. I am insulted by your allegations. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 09:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know that there really was no issue in that article. I'm sorry, but you seem to be the one who failed to assume good faith. In fact, my post in your talk page exists exactly because I was assuming good faith in your actions. If you look into that discussion I mentioned, you'll see that someone had already started calling your 2nd changing of the wording "vandalism", and they were already calling for a block. I was the one to say that you should be contacted first, since it could well be the case that you might just be unaware of the ongoing discussion. Hence my post above. You see, a "heads up" is a token of good faith, or at least it is when I give them out. You failed to assume good faith when you assumed that this had been meant as an accusation, when in fact it was a "heads up". Regards, Redux 19:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Ok this just gulls me. I took a look at the article uranium and i saw a number of claims (claims may not be the best word to use) that i feel needed sources so i added them. One such case was the statement "Uranium itself is not a chemical carcinogen," now i could care less if this was true or not, BUT that isn't a basic fact. I haven't seen a reseach on that nor do i know what the source is. My philosophy on information particularly information on uranium could come into dispute is "SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE." any claim is invalid with out evidence to support it. Well let me get to the point my adding of the ^{[citation needed]} was revert by User:Fastfission his/her response to by ^{[citation needed]} seemed a bit WRONG. Could you mediate this and determine if some if not all of the ^{[citation needed]} were warranted. I put one next any assertion that i believed need evidence. And maybe you should look at that response i got too.--aceslead 02:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A Little Help

I find myself in a conflict over weather PHOTONS, which make up the electromagnetic spectrum aka electromagnetic radiation, are particle or not. they keep being listed in the particle radiation article. I need mediation.--aceslead 17:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Except for the fact that a photon isn't a particle, heres the tricky part, no one nows exactly what a photon is. OFFICALLY photons are described as being a 'wave/particle' because they act like particles is some of the experiments and like waves in other experiments, experiments which were conducted in physics. The particle radiation article is about particle radiation NOT electromagnetic radiation. Photons ARE electromangetic radiation. one major ditiction is that particle radiation 'contaminates material it lands on. Electromagnetic radiation doesn't.--aceslead 20:19, 10 October 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Personal Attack?

OK I’ve given up on the whole photon particle or not thing. But a comment by another editor was left on the talk page for Particle Radiation. If felt very personal, could I have your opinion on how to INDIRECTLY address this. At the very least it is incivility, would it fall under personal attack? Sense it focuses some of it on me.--aceslead 23:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, there’s more, before you replied to my message, I went ahead and JUST deleted the comment that he posted, in the summary I put “removed personal attack.” I labeled it that way because it ‘rubbed’ me the wrong, I really don’t understand the technical Wiki boundary between uncivil and personal. Sometime after I deleted it, user: Strait put the comment back, added an additional comment and then copied the whole thing to my Talk page. I saw this, this morning and I deleted it off my talk page and the talk: particle radiation. Now my understanding is that your not suppose to comment on editors, there misgivings, errors, etc. If he keeps reposting the comments he made that were directed AT me. What should I do? Other than talking to user: Strait, I really don’t want to talk to him/her. I just want user: Strait to leave me along.--aceslead 00:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be easier to create subcategories inside the Martian-stub stubs? That is under Martian-stubs there would be subcategories of stubs, such as, MarsCrater-stubs, MarsMountian-stubs, etc. I think this would even help those who are sorting Martian stubs inside the Crater-stub, Mountain-stub, and etc. because then they would know where that Crater or Mountain is.--aceslead 22:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There definitly are plenty of stubs, however i don't know what the general requirements for new stubs are.--aceslead 23:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here’s what I’m thinking of, let take the {{Mars-stub}} & the {{crater-stub}} in the article stub Airy (Martian crater), this stub is listed under both Category:Astrogeology stubs & Category:Martian stubs. What I am proposing is that a Subcategory be inserted into both Astrogeology stubs & Martian stubs which I propose calling Martian crater stubs. This is also the suggested format for mountains, canyons, hills, & etc. This categorizing can be easily adopted for other planet stubs like Venus-stub, Mercury-stub, etc. I’m saying this to you first because one: the stub coding isn’t something I’m all that familiar with, & two: I don’t want to screw it up, I seem to be doing that a little too much recently. In other words I have a hard time with the stub system.--aceslead 23:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Stub Problem

OK I have a technical problem. I changed some 20 to 30 tags for Martian craters. But the stubs haven’t moved from the Martian stubs to Craters on Mars Stubs. It’s like I never changed the stub tags. Could you figure out what I did wrong?--aceslead 19:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC) [reply]

RE: Edits to User:Kelly Martin

Hi there GW Simulations! I was actually asked the very same question by Newyorkbrad yesterday, so I'll just copy and paste my response to him; the redirect is just a bit 'o wit, really, stemming from a discussion I was having with Sean Black and Kelly Martin, among others. The discussion basically started in regards to the correct way to deal with paraphrased copyvio's and disintegrated into deciding to redirect that page to a different silly dinosaur-type things each day.

I didn't change any thing and i did propose a change. Perhaps you should take a closer look?--aceslead 21:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Angara

Howdy! I zapped the future spaceflight template you put on the Angara page. Since the first Angara launch is pretty far off, I think the template should be reserved until much closer to any prospective date, as the wording seems to suggest that it's a sort of rocket specific 'current news event' tag. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 19:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC) [reply]

GPS, a current spaceflight?

I can understand the tag if there is a believe that information will be rapidly changing in a short time frame, but is that the case right now with the satellite launch? It's going to be in checkout for a while; information on the new space vehicle probably won't change quickly or frequently.

Can you post some thoughts on why it should be flagged?Davandron | Talk 15:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In my edit summary, I mentioned that it was tagged for the duration of the recent launch of the GPS 2R-M3 satellite. I simply forgot to remove the tag afterwards. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 20:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GW, this is the second time you've been prompted about use of these templates. Please talk with us, I don't think you're trying to be disruptive, but if you're making these changes without responding to requests, it might make us wonder. I'm sure you're acting in good faith, don't get me wrong, but we really need to chat about this. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 16:38, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The edit in question was made before your original message. Your original message seemed to be mor informational than inquisitive, and therefore it seemed as if you were not expecting, or requesting a reply. I don't tend to reply to messages unless they ask a direct question or I require more information. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 20:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your vigilence, but I think you are quite mistaken. If you want, you can remove your inappropriate warning and my response from my talk page (as well as this comment, of course). Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 21:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I declined semi-protection, I'd report it to WP:AN3 since both users were warned, but didn't stop. --Core desat 22:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC) [reply]
