Middle-earth tense
Thnks for your recent edits to the Middle-earth related articles. I have only one objection: using of present tense.
WT:Me to use past tense, and before editing pages to present the discussion at least must be renewed - though there's little hope in changing current standards. Súrendil 16:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply
Your additions to the List of Fictional Astronauts
Thanks for your additions to the list I've tended to focus on the literary side of things and left the film/TV side of it slide. In answer to your question about the Zeus crews from Dr Who I'd suggest that you put them in the 'Futuristic' section. It's what I did with 'Hunter-Killer' where you have something that does not quite fit into the orderly sequence of things. Just remember to include both date of publication and the date the episodes are supposed to be set which is the 1980's from memory.Graham1973 (talk) 11:57, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Where did you find a copy of Apollo at Go? I've been looking for it where I am for while now.Graham1973 (talk) 14:21, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I saw that you've changed the reference format for Apollo at Go. I'd like to propose we reformat the whole reference section (Books at least) to conform to the same format. Obviously it's going to be quite a time consuming task, so perhaps we split it?Graham1973 (talk) 02:09, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just seen your WIP on Henri Cordier. Was it not Louis Cordier who married a niece of Ramond, rather than Henri being Ramond's nephew? It would be interesting to know what Henri's relation was to to Louis. Ericoides (talk) 13:24, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gildir, thanks for your good work on Middlemores Saddles and Thomas Middlemore. I just thought of this, my first article was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Sir_William_Hawkslow_Middlemore which was rejected 3 times on notability, can you make it acceptable at all? After 3 rejections I wasn't ever expecting anything more, so if you can't - no problem :)
No problem re Maund; it's nice that you're starting all of these interesting pages. I don't do DYK any more, but I see that you do: it would be good, if you can be bothered to do so, if you could propose a hook including Middlemore, Cordier and Maund (best be quick as Middlemore was written on 12th; 17th is therefore the deadline). How about ... that on the first ascent of the Cordier Couloir on the Aiguille Verte, Thomas Middlemore, John Oakley Maund and Henri Cordier were "nearly obliterated by rockfall"?

Saw your latest updates, I'm going to have to start sorting out the books on my "to do" list. Something else I plan to sort out is the "Apollo ??" situation, there are a number of books where you have Apollo missions mentioned without specific mission numbers ("'The Falling Astronauts'" has two for example.) and I cannot help feeling we need a better way to distinguish them.Graham1973 (talk) 11:14, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just had an idea, where it is clear that the fictional mission went to the Moon (& landed) use Unnamed CSM/LM instead of Apollo??. Also regarding the fictional missions in "The Cassandra Project", perhaps refer to them as AS-(Number), author Joe Poyer did this with his fictional Gemini mission where instead of calling it Gemini IX he called it GT-9.Graham1973 (talk) 07:07, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have now replaced Apollo ?? with Unnamed CSM/LM for the Cassandra Project missions. The Cassandra Project gives no numbers for the two missions at all; since they preceded Apollo 10, presumably the authors didn't want to get into the issue of whether they should be Apollo 8 and 9, or 7 and 9, superseding the real missions with those numbers.

Having problem with a footnote on
List of fictional astronauts
I've created a footnote for the List of Fictional astronauts to indicate that the authors name for the novel version is a pseudonym, but for some reason it is not appearing and there is a very unhelpful error message at the bottom of the rerence listing.

The Sheriff & The Astronaut
I was just doing a curiosity search for the unsold TV drama "The Sheriff & The Astronaut" and stumbled across an old 'Coming up Next' promo on YouTube, looks like the only(?) episode produced may have aired, but from the looks of it I can see why it didn't prosper.
The clip is linked below, this might and I stress might be worth further research.
I've also managed to locate via GoogleNews a TV listing dated May 24, 1984 that confirms that it was planned to air the pilot and another article from May 31, 1984 confirming that it did in fact air. I'm now wondering if it made it onto VHS.
Thanks, Graham. The final shot of the shuttle launching behind the sheriff on the rearing horse is quite amusing. Gildir (talk) 14:18, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I thought so too. Hopefully you might have a better chance (Being in the USA) of locating a copy of the full episode.Graham1973 (talk) 17:27, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've added to the talk page a music video with a space theme, that you might want to watch. It is a possible for inclusion but I wanted a consensus about it if possible. Also I am going to be going over the page to fix the titling. Book titles are supposed to be in italics not "quotation marks".Graham1973 (talk) 23:30, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you can run down a copy of the spy novel (Assignment - Mara Tirana) I added to the list. I could only go on what was included in the summary. I've no idea what details the author included in the book. Given the year of publication it's most likely a Mercury capsule, but you can never tell with these authors. Graham1973 (talk) 22:36, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I read the first 39 pages of the book and skimmed the rest. Stepanic's spacecraft is launched by an Atlas rocket with a second-stage Thor-Able (p. 17). The capsule is described as a "one-ton mushroom bell", "not more than ten feet long and six feet wide" (p. 121), but the name "Mercury" is never used. I found one occurrence of the name "NASA" (p. 122). Gildir (talk) 14:25, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to why I deleted the image of the accident, I have the article at FAC, and the image review noted there is no clear source for the copyright holder on the image. As I wrote in my reply on that, I would prefer to keep the image there (as it is indeed a defining part of the article), but couldn't find the original owner (the image's information links to a user-upload on Youtube, which is clearly not the copyright holder). So if/when that is sorted out, it is probably best to keep the image off, though if you can find the original owner of the video and update the image's information, that would make it easier.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
List of fictional astronauts into several new pages. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

Honesty about my edit
Hello there. I saw that you removed my edit, which is "Krankenschwester...Krankenschwester...Ich kann nicht atmen...du auf meinem Atemschlauch stehst". You said that this is "probable vandalism". It's not "probable vandalism". The reason why I did that is that I found this subreddit which claims that Albert Einstein's last words are "Krankenschwester...Krankenschwester...Ich kann nicht atmen...du auf meinem Atemschlauch stehst". Unfortunately, there's no link to back up the claimed last words. I simply searched "walter aldridge albert einstein" and there's no website or books about it. So, in my mind, I decided to put the claimed last words, hoping that someone came across it and will search for any sources to back up what it's said there. If they don't, then they'll remove it. I'm gonna leave you with four questions:
Did you fail to find any sources to back up the claim?
Do you believe that Walter Aldridge is real?
Do you believe that the claim is true?
Do you believe that the elderly woman and her granddaughter are real?
You need to find reliable sources before you post something so bizarre, which sounds like a joke, and which concerns one of the most renowned people ever to have lived. The burden of proof is on you. Gildir (talk) 20:22, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the answer. Also, I did find any reliable sources for other pages before. But like I said, I'm gonna leave you with four questions:
Did you fail to find any sources to back up the claim?
Do you believe that Walter Aldridge is real?
Do you believe that the claim is true?
Do you believe that the elderly woman and her granddaughter are real?
I just found the subreddit you mentioned, and it's a response to a "writing prompt" -- in other words, it's a work of fiction. I apologize for not searching for it sooner. Gildir (talk) 11:40, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's okay. I'm fine with it. Anyway, do you answer all of the questions? Let me know. Also, did you not see the linked word (subreddit)? Emotioness Expression (talk) 15:58, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't bother to click on the linked word. I replied in haste. In any case, the only Google search result for "Walter Aldridge" and "European Physical Society" is the subreddit in question, strongly suggesting that there are no other sources. Since the subreddit is a work of fiction, the answers to your second, third, and fourth questions are all "no". Once again, I apologize for replying in haste. Gildir (talk) 16:06, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the answers. Again, it's okay. I'm fine with it. Also, I'm honest enough to put a reason for doing that as opposed to someone who likes vandalizing stuff with no honest reason. Emotioness Expression (talk) 16:16, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I know. I also apologize for referring to the edit as "probable vandalism". Thanks for your feedback. Gildir (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's okay. Next time, do some searching to confirm the claim made by people on Wikipedia. Also, you're welcome. And also, it's a lesson for me that if I stumbled upon a fake source, don't fell for that trap. Instead, just look at what its content is and do some searching about the claims it made.

Harvnb/harvid in List of last words
I HATE the harv method because it adds a single citation in the references section for every single entry, AND you can't thereafter hover over the footnote number and see a pop-up of the actual citation details (just the harv shorthand). You undid a good method already in use and I'd really like to re-do it for you. I much prefer the method that was already in the article, such as
<ref name="Shields 196"/>
and then adding a page number after it, if needed, like this:
<ref name="Shields"/>{{Rp|196}}
This method does NOT add extra citations. There is one single entry in the references list, and each use of the citation gets a tiny page number after it. There's a sample of how this is done in the History section of Tsavo Man-Eaters#History. Take a look. Normal Op (talk) 21:44, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, unfortunately, I can't. As far as I know the image is copyrighted.

I wish that it could appear at a higher resolution in List of last words (20th century)#1960–1969 and on the Commons page for Category:1960-08-26, but to the best of my knowledge that's not possible.

Hi Gildir! Regarding Special:Diff/1039261243: EranBot reviews all edits over a certain size and screens them for potential copyright violations. Each of the bot's reports is reviewed manually before any action is taken. Because there are a lot of Wikimedia mirrors (external websites that copy from Wikipedia), sometimes there are false positives. In this case, your edit was matched to a Wikipedia mirror. Because you properly attributed the copying from the 1978 article, there is no issue here and you should feel free to restore the edit and ignore the bot. Hope that makes sense; let me know if you have any questions about that. DanCherek (talk) 17:48, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Links to disambiguation pages
Please check every link you make to ensure that it leads where you intend. In your edit to April 1978 you linked to disambiguation page Stephen Murphy. I've fixed it.
There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page. Thanks, and Happy Editing.

Hi, don't worry about it. My colleague based his article on the obituary, and it was only when I looked into it later that I found the story had holes. I'm not to Wikipedia so I'm still learning how to edit sources. I've found that BU Theological Library has more issues of Zion's Herald from the late 1800's/early 1900's, and from them I found that Abrey Kamoo joined the church in 1885. I also found a marriage record on Ancestry.com that showed her son William Kamoo married Sadie Williams on April 4th or 5th, 1889 by Reverend John Hood at the First United Presbyterian Church in Boston, now Newton Presbyterian Church. Sadie Williams was born about 1865 in Cedarville, New Jersey, to Henry and Ann Williams. The marriage certificate lists William as a "porter" born in New Orleans and Sadie as a "domestic". People's Temple merged with different churches over the years and is now Old West Church in Boston. Sadly they don't have any records of Mrs. Kamoo, so I would recommend the BU Theological Library for more info. I hope that helps!

Thank you very much for all of your fictional astronaut lists. Just came upon them recently and the amount of detail and sourcing on them is extraordinary. Great work! Randy Kryn (talk) 14:40, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much, Randy. I didn't actually create the list to begin with -- User:Rvolz did, originally as a single list. Other users (such as User:Graham1973) and I significantly expanded it, to the point where other editors suggested that it had gotten too long to read; therefore, I split it into its current 13 separate lists (based on the organization of the previous single list). Once again, thank you so much for your appreciation, Randy. Gildir (talk) 01:12, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Images in month articles
Let's see if we can figure a way to working with whatever challenges the new format might present for placement of images. The contents box has always had a massive amount of blank space around it, and the images are a good way to alert the reader to some of the highlights of the month described in the text that follows. As you know, Wikipedia has recently gone to featuring a small image that shows up in the results of any search, which is an improvement IMO over the text only display that used to be returned on searches. I appreciate the work that you do on keeping the sourcing and copy-editing at the highest professional standards. Moving images down the page on every article in the project, however, is an extreme when there may be other ways to work with the calendar box. I'm open to discussing ideas, although I'm not sure that I see much difference between the old skin and the new skin. Thanks. Mandsford 23:00, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for thinking about this, Mandsford. I do think that many of the month articles looked awkward with the previous placement of images and the new skin, but I'll certainly tinker with ways to restore some of the lead images, and I'd be interested to hear what ideas you have. Thanks again. Gildir (talk) 02:18, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for being open to discussion. In many ways, it would be good if only one large (300px or so) photo for a defining event could be put at the beginning, on the right side of the contents box, and I'd like to see at least one "front page" photo up top. As we've all seen, some months had more than one big moment. BTW, Gildir, I have an account with newspapers.com, and if you'd ever like to use the service every once in awhile to get more detail from the news accounts at the time-- or to solve a mystery of "whatever happened to....?" please let me know.Mandsford 14:42, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I also like the idea of having one large image on the top right, which is what I've tried to do in the past. At the moment I'm restoring, and in some cases modifying, the work other people had done in adding lead images, which I had hastily undone. Thank you for the newspapers.com offer, Mandsford; I really appreciate it. Gildir (talk) 14:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Please see the following links for more information:https://copypatrol.toolforge.org/en/?id=96370794

Gemini program
Hi, Gildir-- do you have any future plans for shortening the length of the additions from the Grimwood and Brooks chronologies of the daily events of the Gemini program? I recognize the need to add material, to be pared down later, from a source that may not always be available. That said, almost all of these could be abridged down to the most relevant details, and some of these events are less significant than others. At some point, I will attempt my own edit of some of the articles. As a courtesy, I'll alert you to the edit so that you can review it and see if you want to put a different spin on abridging it. Mandsford 14:56, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gildir— I appreciate your kind words of April 28. think you've done a great job in compressing (and in some cases, deleting) the space exploration information while leaving intact the most important aspects.

Thank you for thanking me
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your thanks for my edits to List of unusual deaths. Feels a little odd to thank someone for thanking me, but I wanted you to know! That's a weird and messy page, and I'm glad I'm not the only one keeping watch on it. NekoKatsun (nyaa) 15:21, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gildir!
The
New Pages Patrol
is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read
project talk page
with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Thank you for adding Bert R. J. Hassell to September 1924
Gildir, thank you for bringing attention to Bert Hassell, one of the unsung heroes of aviation. I had never heard of him, but after reading his obituary of 9/12/74 from the New York Times, I realize that he made an important contribution with the Great Circle Route, which I've heard called (not accurately) as "flying over the North Pole". Unfortunately, Wikipedia has no adequate article about that route-- there's an overly technical feature about
great circle navigation that doesn't mention what it's used for or when it came into use, let alone who pioneered it. Hassell does get brief mention as one of the many redlinks in Early Birds of Aviation, so I've made reference to that to keep this from being a red link for now. Definitely someone who needs his own article, and I think that plenty of sources can be found to back it up. I'll try to start one sometime; if you start one, I'll help find sources and try to explain the significance of something I don't entirely understand. Great find!
