Nicholas Fisk

Hi. I have reverted what you have done to the

David Higginbottom

pages. I did this for three reasons;

• it was a cut and paste move. This is not the way to move pages.
• Articles should be called
  by the name they are most commonly and best known as
  . Higgenbottom is best known as Fisk.
• Please discuss page moves on their talk pages before you do them.

Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 12:32, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians also recommend biscuits with tea.

a cup of tea. Tea promotes WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day ever so slightly better.

Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a tea, especially if it is someone you have had disagreements with in the past or someone putting up with some stick at this time. Enjoy!

Spread the lovely, warm, refreshing goodness of tea by adding {{subst:wikitea}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Dundas

Hello

I'll try. I've got bits and pieces but nothing specific. Dapi89 (talk) 16:49, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening,

Have a look-see. Need a little more on the early life and a clean up but on track for an easy G.A methinks. Dapi89 (talk) 18:44, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Evening,

I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel now with the sources I have. Have you anything else? I'm tempted to submit it for G.A now and just see what happens. Dapi89 (talk) 19:08, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear. Sounds like an aunt and uncle of mine. Good work on finding the Wrk Nr of the Do 17. I don't think I had that, even though I did get the Dornier Do 17 article to G.A several years back. I have all the Chris Goss books you see (I used him in both articles in relation to this machine), but I don't think that was mentioned. I'll dig for it.

Hi again. Thanks. You know it is probably the most satisfying yet. These people deserved to be talked about. Dundas was just one of tens of thousands of aces, very good at their craft, which are relegated to a mere footnote in history. Very few RAF personnel are recognised in this way on wikipedia. Misterbee1966 is an editor I have worked with quite often on German personnel, not so much anymore as we've drifted off to do different things, but we still swap information. He has done some epic work on aces and Knights Cross (and higher) winners. I think I'm going to try to bring GA to a number of other British/Commonwealth airman in the same way. Dapi89 (talk) 18:34, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. I have gather some stuff on Noel Agazarian. I belif I have a full list of his claims. I might give it a go but it will have to wait in line. Some of the more prominent aces will come first. Cheers. Dapi89 (talk) 18:38, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

About a year ago you made this edit where I suspect you copied text from the Disney bomb article, but AFAICT you did not give any indication that you had done so. Please read WP:Copying within Wikipedia which explains what credits you need to give (a link to the name of the article you copied the text from in the edit history is sufficient). This also has a practical use for editors who come to the page lager, if any of the long citations have not been copied across it makes finding them easier. -- PBS (talk) 00:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Catsmeat, I had been working on a biography for many months but it continued to get declined. The common reasons for the declination was that it needed to be written in a more encyclopedic tone. I finally gave up on the article. A few weeks ago I received an email (not a message on my talk page) from someone claiming to be a wikipedian editor with high privileges. She said that she could rewrite the biography in an encyclopedic tone and get it published (for a fee) and referred me to your userpage, claiming that it was her own. I just wanted to alert you because I know that this type of impersonation is happening with other legit editors as well.

Greetings from

Hello, due to your huge input on the Roberta Cowell page I thought it might interest you to know that a production company have just finished filming a documentary on her and in particular her relationship with Michael Dillon. There will be an interview with one of Betty's daughters (my mother) in the Telegraph on the 24th of this month with the documentary to be aired on Channel 4 shortly thereafter. There's plenty of recently rediscovered information about Betty which I think will add greatly to the article in time. I think there will be a renewed interest in her story and as such an increase in edits of her wiki page - AL_LOCKE|^talk 21:52, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I let the article on her drop a few years ago and my attention was taken by other things because I ran out of information sources I could easily access, unfortunately this was before I'd filled all the holes in the article I really wanted to fill.Catsmeat (talk) 22:54, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This message was sent as a courtesy reminder to all active members of the Military History WikiProject.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am curious about how you got the idea that an airplane cannot glide (maintains adequate speed to prevent a stall, by using the force of gravity instead of engine power) if its engine(s) are still operating? [[1]]

FYI, airline pilots make regular use of the gliding mode during their descents, by pulling engine thrust back to inflight-idle thrust and then utilizing the power of gravity to keep the IAS safely above the stalling speed for any given weight and altitude. There really isn't any significant difference in an airliner maintaining adequate safe airspeed during a descent via the force of gravity, with engines still running or with them not running. About all one can say is that if the engines are running in idle mode, during the descent, the plane might be able to glide a bit further than with no engines running at all. But, it is still "gliding" if the main source of safe airspeed is gravity, rather than engine thrust. Thank you. EditorASC (talk) 22:38, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time.

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Synchronization gear

Hi! Most interested in the IWM picture of a synchroniser test rig! I have had a go at getting more details about it, but can't find anything but the IWM page. It is most certainly not a Vickers-Challenger gear, as the link to the "propeller" is either a hydraulic line (or perhaps a flexible drive?) - definitely no sign of the Vickers-Challenger's push rod. I suspect it is not a "CC" gear either - the roughness and makeshift nature of the whole thing seems to indicate a "field" experiment, put together out of bits and pieces available "to hand" at, say, an operational squadron.

I believe, in fact, that it is a picture of the experimental hydraulic gear designed and tested by Air Mechanic Betteridge of No. 1 squadron Australian Flying Corps in 1917 (his unit were serving in the Middle East at the time). Information about this gear, which was apparently reported to higher command and ignored, is hard to come by - but I have long considered adding a little note with what I can glean about it - and if I can connect it a little more firmly than my current surmise with this graphic so much the better! --Soundofmusicals (talk)

I may well restore the "separate" versions of the Vickers-Challenger pictures - the current setup doesn't really "work" - although I appreciate why you did it. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 04:54, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well! I ended up acting on the above without giving you time to comment - hope you don't mind! The illustration IS of the "Betteridge" test rig - so we can find a much better place for it in the new section. Thank you very much indeed for coming up with it, by the way.

Copying within Wikipedia

You may by now be aware of the requirements on copying text within Wikipedia if so apologies for reiterating something you already know.

With this Revision as of 08:55, 23 April 2012 to IJmuiden, you copied text from Disney bomb (and possibly another article). Editors have to attribute the copying of text from one article to another to meet the requirements of the guideline. It is a copyright violation not to do so. However see the section "Other reasons for attributing text" there are other reasons for attribution including making it easier for editors to fix citations in the editor who makes the copy does not copy over the full citation. -- PBS (talk) 18:49, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
