GA in Europe

Hi Nic. Thanks for your comments. I'm afraid I will have to decline your offer of taking the lead in such an article. Its too big a job for me, and I have little time available. In particular researching sources for the content would be too time consuming. Your experience in wikipedia, however, is irrelevant to your ability to take the lead yourself. I encourage you to go ahead, create the article, and build it. There's no better way to move on from being a newcomer, and I've only been editing for a little over a year now. I'll happily assist you in some of the more technical aspects, and I've already added General aviation in Europe to my watchlist (it seems odd that we can watchlist non-existant pages, but there you go, it will pop up in my watchlist as soon as you create it). I'll keep an eye on your progress, jump in if I feel the need, and you should feel free to ask for help if you need it. Good luck. --FactotEm (talk) 15:18, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
