Question about versions[edit]

I hope I'm doing this right, adding my question to your page by editing it. Anyways, I have a question about this version of the University of Manitoba's page at: [1]. I realize it must be an early version, but why is it still available through Google searches? Any clarification you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Archivisticus (talk) 00:24, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question about searching[edit]

Thanks for the reply to the versions - I should have caught that, sorry. My next question is about searching. I was looking for an article in Wikipedia about a man named T.G. Hamilton who was a very prominent researcher into the paranormal. According to the latest articles, he used "T.G." and so I may have only looked under Hamilton the surname and Hamilton with his initials, and didn't find anything. I was editing another article, however, and used his full name, Thomas Glendenning Hamilton, and was astonished to see the internal link I made (anticipating on adding my own article) was in purple, and that there already was a very brief article about him in Wikipedia. Is there some way to put in variations of a name to point back to the authoritative name, and should one always assume that the fullest version of the name is the correct version? I see I can add his name to the Hamilton (surname and title) page, which I will do, but I thought maybe there may be more ways to do this. I'd like people who type in "University of Manitoba Archives" to be able to pull up "University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections" as well, for another example. Thanks again. This is greatly appreciated!Archivisticus (talk) 00:43, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia[edit]

Thanks again for the above. Just what I needed! My question is, I want to add archival photographs from our Archives (The University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections) to an updated version of the Thomas Glendenning Hamilton page, and I wanted to know if it's best to put them in the Wikimedia Commons first and then link to them there? These photos fall under the photographs in Canada before 1948 provision. Also, as a public archives in Canada, we happen to own copyright on many of the photos in our collection (donors sign over their copyright to us). I didn't see any provisions for an organizational or institutional copyright holder to release the photo, just a private person. Did I miss something? Would that be the same? Should I go through the same steps as releasing a privately taken photograph? We haven't used the Creative Commons license on our pages on the Archives website yet. Is this maybe a better way to do it - add the CC license and then add them to Wikimedia if that's the best way to go? Thanks. Archivisticus (talk) 02:09, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

F-4[edit]

What problem have you with F-16 and Mirage 2000s being the backbone of EAF? Your reverts must be explained or it's just trolling.--Stefanomencarelli (talk) 22:50, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nor you have rights to talk about civility, seen how fast simply revert all i write. It's not so wikilove. Less you have the right to talk to me about writing in wikipedia. Perphaps the only sector so controlled and censored, politic and religion apart, it's aviation sector. But you prefers rollback without discussion, and this is definitively NOT a wikipedian collaboration. Now i'll try to give the damned link, just let's see if we can agree that egyptian Phantoms are only a secondary asset compared to F-16.--Stefanomencarelli (talk) 09:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Another Person with Same Name[edit]

I want to add a person to Wikipedia who has the same name as someone already on and neither of the people are a primary person. How do I create a disambiguation page for that name without screwing up the page for the person already in Wikipedia? Or, if I could add what the person is in brackets behind the name at the top, there wouldn't need to be a disambiguation page because the two are clearly identifiable: "X (actress)" and "X (archivist)." I really don't understand how Wikipedia creates the name at the top and nothing I have read or the pages I have studied has clarified this for me. Thanks for all your help. Glad to hear of your U of M connection! Archivisticus (talk) 21:35, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hot air balloon userboxes[edit]

You're welcome! Thanks for the thanks. :-) It's been about 25 years since I last flew in a hot air balloon. I miss it! One of our Assistant Scout Masters in my Boy Scout troop was a balloonist, and each spring for about three years the entire troop would go camping and flying. It was an incredible experience, and I would love to go again. Obviously, I was a little dismayed to not find any ballooning userboxes. So, I figured I might as well make one, and that turned into several. —Willscrlt “Talk” ) 12:36, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, how can you have a userbox for a hot air balloon that isn't colorful? :-) I suppose that not only will they add a little color to the page, they might "lighten" it up, too. (Bad pun, I know.) No need to reply. I just had to share what crossed through my mind when I read your comment. Have a great day! —Willscrlt “Talk” ) 12:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing that the yellow rear-view G-IVOR pic that I removed from the article did have a value because of its angle. I hadn't spotted that! Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone (talk) 08:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Abbreviations[edit]

Hello again. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for creating the reference link to the article on Rhodes scholars; I should have known to do that. Also the 3 columns is much more wieldy. But what change did PigFlu Oink make? I looked it over and don't understand what the abbreviations mean, and if I've run across them on the many pages of instruction, I can't remember and can't find them: 17:22, 9 May 2009 PigFlu Oink (talk | contribs) m (33,181 bytes) (fix per: WP:DATE) For example, what does the "m" refer to and what is the WP:DATE? The 88 number of Rhodes scholars is incorrect - it doesn't take into account the 4 whose dates were, until recently, missing. I've added their names and updated the number. An archives staff member looked them up. I hope that that's okay. Let me know if it's not.Archivisticus (talk) 16:42, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A study on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies[edit]

If interested, please get in touch via my talkpage or email me Encyclopaedia21 (talk) 14:58, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Use of citeweb[edit]

I noticed that you used on the University of Manitoba's Rhodes scholars list a style of referencing webcites that included the date accessed and the official name of the website. I've been using the "Walt Whitman" page as an example, and they don't include those details. Now I'm torn - do you think I should go back and change all my references to the way you have yours? Thanks again for all your excellent advice/assistance! It's greatly appreciated to know that someone out there has answers. Archivisticus (talk) 15:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox[edit]

Hi - I was determined to try out the Sandbox finally on your original advice, and now something terrible has occurred. Although I thought everything on your saved Sandbox page was supposed to be invisible, it wasn't. Wikipedia added my Sandbox page to every link that was in the text, in this case, Richard Condie. Thank goodness my partner caught it so I went back and wiped my Sandbox clean and saved it. Well it corrected all the links on my view, but when my partner and his sister view it, User:Archivisticus/Sandbox is still in all the links (check under Category:Canadian animators, for example. Richard Condie is followed by my Sandbox. My question: should I not have included the title and links on my Sandbox page or just the title to keep it out of Wikipedia? And second, how do I now rectify my error when it looks like the error was corrected in my view? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the trouble! Archivisticus (talk) 15:15, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't Correct the Problem[edit]

I hate to be a pain in the rump, but this didn't fix the problem. Perhaps I didn't say that I'd already copied stuff from my Sandbox to the Richard Condie page, carefully preserving the original writers' work where possible (maybe that was a mistake and it wouldn't have mattered?) So I went in to my altered Sandbox page and deleted all the material in my Sandbox and saved the blank page, but that still has not removed the links from all the other pages except on my view. That is, I don't see the "User:Archivisticus/Sandbox" under Richard Condie's name on the Canadian animator's view, but my partner does on his computer. Is this something you can correct yourself? I don't understand I guess what I do when I copy the material from my Sandbox to the real page. How do I remove stuff permanently from my Sandbox if I don't just save a blank page? I'm obviously doing something wrong. Archivisticus (talk) 23:06, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Waco 9[edit]

Hi! Thanks for your help with the Waco 9 photo. Unfortunately this is the only one I have of this model and it was taken during 1982 in a rather dark storage area of the NASM at Silver Hill. This facility is now closed to the public. I am happy to leave it to your judgement to manipulate. I've tried the software you suggested, but I'm not adept at using such aids, I'm afraid! Regards RuthAS (talk) 11:01, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! Yes, I would indeed be Grateful for you help in moving those userboxes (please do it): it is fine to arrange them in same way as your userbox page! Seeing you userboxes I would say we may have some special interests in common (not saiplanes and civil aviation (JAA or FAA courses): that's my younger brother department lol). Anyway, thanks once more. See you later, it is now long past bedtime at my location. :) Best regards. --VanHelm (talk) 00:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning dear Ahunt! You did a neat and impressive work with the page for those userboxes; I am in debt to you and should you need any thing, where i may be found to be useful, please do not hesitate to ask for my assistance. Furthermore, I have browsed your website and found extremely valuable data on Linux applications and Ubuntu usage that will be usefull to help me create some tutorials for my network users (which will then in time be available at my webpage on Ubuntu links, which for now is still very basic and already outdated). Next month, I'll be renewing my own 2 years old, but full-fledged, Ubuntu (7.04) network (for a few hundreed users...) to LTS 8.04 on a few Dell servers and i'll be for the first time implementing LTSP service for all network clients (becoming graphical terminals) and also i'll be migrating other proprietary networks elsewhere to Ubuntu... it never stops lol :)
Btw, I was even more impressed with your recipes; allow me please to point out what may be one of the first (1st ed.: 1910s) and perhaps one of the most complete current cookbook of vegetarian recipes,[3] should you be interested. Have to go for now. Best regards. --VanHelm (talk) 11:57, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

I have compiled a succinct user manual for archivists who want to add newly created articles to Wikipedia and I'm wondering if I posted it to my sandbox whether you might run your eyeball over it and make any changes or correct anything that's wrong or add anything you think important? I find that Wikipedia has a lot of excellent information but it's not all in a single place which can make it a bit tricky to start up. Thanks for everything. Archivisticus (talk) 21:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Manual Available for Review[edit]

Hello - I've posted the instructions I've put together on my Sandbox. Be as rigorous as you like - I don't want to lead anyone astray. I've taken the symbols out for the pre and slash pre instructions as they create a box on the page, but in the real manual I put in the real symbols. Thanks again. Now I haven't put in anything about user talk, but I figure that will work itself out once they post their articles. Archivisticus (talk) 18:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Page?[edit]

Hi there. Thanks for looking it over. I didn't format it because I can't imagine where it would sit in Wikipedia. I mean, I'll need to use my Sandbox for other articles.

Revolution Mini-500[edit]

On July 11, 2009, you wrote that

citing a book by Kenneth Armstrong. Is that really what he wrote? I have an old copy of an aviation magazine buried somewhere (could have been Flying, or something of that ilk), showing photos of Dennis Fetters demonstrating Cicaré's CH-4, before any patents had ever been issued for the Cicaré control system, either in Argentina or the U.S. If memory serves, Cicaré and Fetters parted company about that time, so Fetters wouldn't have had access to the later CH-6 design, except by outright copying or theft. If Armstrong wrote "C-6", he was almost certainly wrong, because, to the best of my knowledge, Augusto Cicaré designated his designs "CH-x", all the way from the CH-1 to the CH-7 Angel, the latter now produced by Heli-Sport S.r.l. in Italy. If Armstrong flubbed the "CH" designation, he may have flubbed the "4" versus "6" part, too. —QuicksilverT @ 00:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found some information that sheds light the CH-4/CH-6/C-6 question. Augusto Cicaré now has a Web site, which didn't exist when I created the Revolution Helicopter Corporation article. The site is entirely in Spanish, but if you look at http://www.cicare.com.ar/fr_augusto.htm, there's a biographical time line of his helicopter developments. About halfway down the list it states, "El CICARE CH-6 fue presentado con singular éxito en 1990 en la convención anual de la Experimental Aircraft Asociation de U.S.A. (Oshkosh)." If you click on the text, it links to a snapshot of Cicaré with an unidentified woman and tall man in a white shirt standing in front of the same machine that I remember from the aforementioned magazine article. If that article referred to it as the CH-4, then they got it wrong. Since the CH-6 would have been the "prototype" that Fetters demonstrated at Oshkosh, that would have been the one that he used as a jumping-off point for the Mini-500. That also seems to match Dennis Fetters' statements in the Rotary Wing Forum, although he never specifies the exact model number when referring to the "prototype". Cicaré had earlier helicopter designs with cabins, so the open-frame CH-4 and CH-6 truly were just prototypes.

Actually, the manual of style says that quotations marks are not to be used with blockquotes, just FYI. Yworo (talk) 12:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indented paragraphs is a style that means a quotation. I didn't write the style guideline, but I've read it... blockquote get no quotation marks, no italicizing, etc. Besides indenting, the font size is reduced...fwiw... I guess the place to discuss changing the MoS would be at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style... Yworo (talk) 13:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree to an extent, especially since it seems that some recent change has broken the indenting when there is an image to the left. Not sure where to report that though. Yworo (talk) 13:17, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but cquote is only intended for pull quotes. Yworo (talk) 13:19, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A pull quote is a second display of a quotation already in the article for emphasis or to be eye-catching. Yworo (talk) 13:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I went to put my thoughts on that discussion about the template, and found I already had. Of course, I think the chances that Grandscribe will join the discussion to be about nil, based on past experience. He ought to be blocked for a few hours now and then.

So[edit]

you dear mr. Ahunt, are even interested in movies right? or maybe in what i am doing everytime in wikipedia? Not happy enough to revert everything i write in the aviation section. Well, maybe it's something personal, and should be seen as a personal attack and damage to wikipedia. Or an unbelievable casuality, in 3 millions articles?

The other user did a mistake. He reverted because the (outdated) policies recommendes to be within 700 words. But 'should' it's not must and there are exception even in the policy suggestion. That it is, a suggestion not a 'must'. But you did not lost a minute in swiftly reverting everything, right? It must be a personal issue. And i'll consider you actions equal to a personal attack, masked (poorly) by pointless arguments, and one-sided decisions (revert everything i write). If this way will be continued i should be forced to consider this as problematic beahuvoir.--Stefanomencarelli (talk) 21:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't realize that I needed your permission to edit articles on Wikipedia.
Just to address your feelings of persecution, let me explain how I came to be editing the article Robin and Marian. Back on Saturday 18 July I was considering renting a DVD. This may be a surprise to you, but some of us who edit Wikipidia also use it as a reference in our everyday lives. I often read Wikipedia movie articles prior to going out to rent a DVD, as, in general, the articles are pretty well written and objective and therefore better than reading commercial reviews. In the case of this article I started reading it and quickly discovered that the text was not understandable, at first reading it looked as if it had been vandalized. So of course I checked the edit history and found out that it wasn't vandalism, but that you were engaged in an edit war to insert a large amount of text that was not readable in English. So I reverted the article to the last comprehensible version and asked you to discuss on the talk page, which is the recommended procedure. - Ahunt (talk) 14:22, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

endeless[edit]

I read another your rollback, that i missed. The reason given was:

non-flown and experimental applications not required in lead para - moved to applications

Sorry Ahunt, this sounds as another excuse to whip out what i wrote. Can you explain exactly HOW MANY TA-152C were made? And what's was their operational status? G.56 was NOT and experimental aircraft, there were two prototypes, almost ready to be mass-produced. Not experimantal, and not 'never flown'. So your statement is basically false. Then you must move Ta-152C as well, since they were produced in so few examples that is even dubious they had ever combat or served. AFAIK the Ta-152C was only in prototipic career, not operational at all. This gives no real difference with G.56, except for the 'bigger' (sic) number built.

So, or you will restore the G.56 in the first lines, or i'll moved the Ta-152C from them. When it's enough it's enough. Regards.--Stefanomencarelli (talk) 11:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This topic belongs on the article talk page, which is where I will move it. - Ahunt (talk) 14:23, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Ubuntu releases merger proposal[edit]

Hey Ahunt,

I'm just letting you know I've created a merger discussion about the List of Ubuntu releases page here.  [ mad pierrot ]  18:42, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

August 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Oscarthecat (talk) 20:47, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which link are you referring to? I don't think Ahunt deserved a sullying of his clean block record for adding just one link that might be spam related. He's been very helpful to me and I do not think he is a spammer.  [ mad pierrot ]  20:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I know it's bad form to re-factor other people's comments, but you (Oscarthecat) did say it was a mistake [4], so I'm going to strike this warning.  [ mad pierrot ]  21:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IP continued to edit war (after changing IPs) and I've used up my reverts. However, I did get SarekOfVulcan to semi-protect the article. Yworo (talk) 15:30, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's semi-protected. Logged in users can still edit it. I'm just out of reverts. Yworo (talk) 15:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How about this page? It clearly states mascot of the operating system and reproduces what Linus said about it. The word kernel is not used in the explanations by Linus. Yworo (talk) 15:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Denney Kitfox and Kitfox "rights transfer" - OTRS email[edit]

I am one of the OTRS volunteers, and we got an email from the owner of Kitfox Aircraft indicating that the Denney press release (about transfer of "production rights" to the Kitfox Lite) was incorrect regarding what got transferred. Apparently Kitfox didn't sell them anything; they have rights to produce the particular design, which is derivative off the Kitfox model history, but not a Kitfox brand aircraft design per se. No transfer of the Kitfox trademark rights, etc.

I have asked them to post a press release or statement to that effect, clarifying what Denney is doing and has rights to. In the meantime I put the article back to the way they'd had it - the Denney press release and AvWeb article referring to that rights transfer are misphrased or misinformed, apparently, so let's get it right.

I discussed in a bit more depth on the article talk page, feel free to comment there etc.

Userbox?[edit]

Hi Adam, could you make a user box (or alternate boxes) for the engine task force members? Just a thought. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 13:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.[edit]

Hello Adam, thank you for welcoming me here. I certainly hope to make a positive, if small, difference to Wikipedia. I've already encountered my first reversal-of-edit, but that's just life. Your credentials here are pretty good, and unbeknown to me I've already read some of your articles. Someone beat you to write about the Twotter? ;-)

If it wasn't for somewhat low wages, I would even consider a citizenship and work at Viking, just to build Twin Otters. :-) While I live in Denmark, my birthplace is Greenland so there is my affiliation with the arctic.

All the same, catch you sometime. I shall endeavour to keep facts in, and opinion out.

With kind regards, Niels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Inuk68 (talkcontribs) 18:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting opportunity to improve yourself![edit]

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 05:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Schreder HP-14[edit]

Actually i think you may havre used a redundant template, but never mind it looks ok, up to date templates here Template:WPAVIATION creatorPetebutt (talk) 15:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I didn't realise that I was using lists in the Variants sections. I have used some third level separators in Design and development to break up what turned out to be very large single paragraphs. Is there any way of forcing a paragraph into a section?Petebutt (talk) 14:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Piper PA-40 Arapaho[edit]

Adam, I just ran across the Piper PA-40 Arapaho article. There's not much there, not even sources. It seems only t\hree were built. Can this be saved, or should it be merged to the Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche page as a blurb in the variants section? Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 00:58, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
