Revert
Why is using excerpt not a good idea? In this case, the two bits were already identical. Lfstevens (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- Because the lead in one article and the summary of that article in another one should be independent. As the engine article grows, the lead will be expanded to three or four paragraphs, but the summary in the aircraft article shouldn't be more than one or two paragraphs, though it can and should be updated. The reason they are currently identical is that when I split the engine article off from the aircraft article, I used the summary as the lead. BilCat (talk) 01:15, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

- No problem, Misplaced Pages is collaborative, so we all help each other out. Just like an admin will help out if that vandal keeps vandalizing! BilCat (talk) 05:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Good to know Misplaced Pages is still collaborative even after all my inactivity. James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 05:36, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Daimler-Benz DB 605
There are more edits, by the same IP user, to the Daimler-Benz DB 605 article. You seemed to value my earlier actions there, perhaps you could take a hand now? I do not want to start a personal war with this - possibly well-meaning - editor. Jan olieslagers (talk) 17:11, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll take a look when I have a chance. BilCat (talk) 18:40, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Guyana - time zone
Have a look at timeanddate.com, https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/guyana/georgetown, check the 1900-1924 period and you will see the 3h45 min difference. Please? And if you see it is so, please restore my revision, as there is no distinct Time in Guyana article. GBC (talk) 04:02, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Help moving a page
Hey, I need some help moving Timmins/Victor M. Power Airport to Timmins Victor M. Power Airport. There's no slash present in the actual airport name, at least according to the airport's website, so I'm trying to remove it from the page title with a page move. I'm getting a "cannot move page" error when I try to perform the move. What exactly am I doing wrong? Michael60634 (talk) 07:21, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Michael60634: Actually, you haven't done any wrong at all. Pages cannot be moved on top of an existing redirect if more than one edit has been made to the redirect page, which it has in the case, except by administrators or page movers. While I am a page mover, and could make the move, I'm not going to in this specific case. User:CambridgeBayWeather, whose is an admin, created the redirect page, and has done a lot of work on Canadian airport articles, so out of courtesy, I'm going to defer to him. If he doesn't pop by here or make the move in a few hours, feel free to ask him on his talk page. Thanks, and I hope that's not too inconvenient. BilCat (talk) 07:51, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- Michael60634. No worries. I moved the page. Most of the smaller Canadian airports were created based on the name given in the Canada Flight Supplement because I didn't know the common names orr the one used by the airport authority. A lot of airports which have been given local names end up being at "community name/local name" as defined by Nav Canada. So Ronan Aerodrome which is run by a couple named Roan is at Tottenham/Ronan Aerodrome because that's where it's located. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:17, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- To add some further explanation, there are at least two reasons why the Canada Flight Supplement lists the community name first and any other names afterwards. The first is so that the list of airports serving any given community are grouped together in the same place in the book and second because in a pinch a pilot looking for a place to land near "Tottenham" will look under "T", not "R". - Ahunt (talk) 15:26, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
