Hi, Nimbus227; I abide by your notice, and I apologize. I am new dealing with Wikipedia. My intent was to point to a basic problem in a basic definition of the parasite drag coefficient CDo of an aircraft that yields misleading results. This issue derives from using the wing area as a reference area (bad) instead of frontal area (ggod). I thought I could rely on Wikipedia to highlight this point, and you have proved me wrong. I will have to find other more conventional means to do so (peer-reviewed academic papers). My background is in aerodynamics, and you may google "burgers" and "normalized lift" for more information on this topic. Again, my apologies and thanks, Nimbus227.

Hi, there's no need to contact me here, most editors place articles (which includes talk pages) on their

reverted. Some blue links there that hopefully help to explain how it all works. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 06:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply

Maybe you can inform me why my edits are being undone, I have used citations, and links and edit was removed. I removed links a citations and it was removed again. All information is true and correct so what is the issue with updating the content? 2601:2C1:C200:7090:34D9:F1F1:A52C:C34E (talk) 13:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

So in which aircraft-engine category would you put aircraft with Wankel engines? Uli Elch (talk) 17:58, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, do you think it is worth it to add "Mig-19" in media? It's quite an interesting topic. Should I do it like this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_F-5#Notable_appearances_in_media ? TheMoonLaw (talk) 19:14, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These sections are generally not recommended by the

notable, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat has 'Notable appearances in media', mainly related to Top Gun, there are eight citations in that section. Hope that helps. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 19:59, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply

Hello Nimbus227:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
