Greetings!
My name is Ryan, and it's my pleasure to welcome you, Phatmonkey, to Wikipedia! First of all, I'd like to thank you for joining the project, and contributing to articles and discussion. I hope you can continue to take part in Wikipedia, because we need more valuable editors like yourself.

If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:

I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing!  --King of All the Franks 12:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I feel loved now! --phatmonkey 12:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
That was my intention.  :) --King of All the Franks 14:12, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

R/C wiki!

[edit]

Say, have you considered joining a growing R/C wiki over at Wikicities? Love to have you there! There's a link to it on my home page. Swing on by and sign up if you like what you see. Only about four or so active editors at present. Happy new year and thanks for helping clean up the R/C articles around here! - Lucky 6.9 08:53, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I might sometime! :) --Phatmonkey 15:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Radio controlled => radio-controlled

[edit]
Does it need that hyphen? I never thought it did! --Phatmonkey 13:29, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The traditional way of using hyphens is hardly taught anymore, it seems, although newspapers, magazines, and most publishing companies still adhere to it. But I think it should be kept for reasons I may expand on further at some point. In the mean time, please see hyphen. Michael Hardy 19:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AIV

[edit]

Hi, couldn't block the IP you listed on AIV because that IP had one edit and no warnings. If vandalism from rotating IPs gets to be too much, you can request semi-protection at WP:RFPP. KillerChihuahua?!? 20:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RC Airplane book (wikibooks)

[edit]

Hi Phatmonkey!

Doing some cleanup work at wikibooks, and wondered if you'd minf if I changed the book to "Remote Controlled Airplanes", Rather than the more cryptic "RC Airplane". I'll leave redirects, of course.

(Askeing you here rather than there because you seem to be here more than there... I'm in both places, so feel free to respond either nere or there on my talk). :) --SB_Johnny | talk 20:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Radio Controlled Aircraft" works just as well. It's just a bit cryptic as a book title (for someone like me, for example :).

Airtronics

[edit]

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Airtronics, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Bfigura (talk) 02:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Lanier RC, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Lanier RC and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. OccamzRazor (talk) 17:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Camberley Town FC.gif)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Camberley Town FC.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Great Planes listed at Redirects for discussion

[edit]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Great Planes. Since you had some involvement with the Great Planes redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. --IJBall (contribstalk) 22:25, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
