Good to see you back

For however long it may be. - ZLEA T\ 01:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm not sure how long it'll be either. We'll see. BilCat (talk) 01:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
whichever - it is good to see you here... JarrahTree 01:25, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I've slowed down a little the past couple weeks, but we'll see how it goes for the next few. BilCat (talk) 00:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Sikorsky S-72

If it’s not proper to link the Sikorsky S-72’s emergency extraction system to ejection seat, a brief explanation of the difference on the page would be nice. RickyCourtney (talk) 03:50, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh this is rather good ...

So nicely put! Cheers DBaK (talk) 10:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Know-it-all IPs rub me the wrong way. BilCat (talk) 00:01, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Looks like that IP has been blocked. BTW, thanks for the thanks, and welcome back. Hope you can stay.  BC  talk to me 22:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

No problem. I'm still mostly retired, but I'm watchlisting close to a thousand pages. I had nearly 30,000 when I retired last year. BilCat (talk) 09:26, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Linked in article

Can you show me where it's allowed to have items in a "See also" section that are linked in the article? And if you are going to make reverts, then you should probably take down your retirement banner... - UtherSRG (talk) 22:10, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
