This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my user talk page
Before posting, please read and follow the notes below.

  • For matters related to article content, "use the article's talk page" (most likely on my watchlist), or use the relevant Wiki project talk page (use these for questions, requests for help or advice, etc). That's the intended purpose of these pages and will get more attention from others. Out of place posts may be removed or moved to a more appropriate talk page. Leave me a note pointing me to a discussion if necessary. Please use this page only for personal and general comments.
  • Keep conversations together - I will reply to posts on the talk page where the conversation starts.
  • Do not take changes to your article edits personally. Note the warning on each edit screen: "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I may revert unexplained (no edit summary) edits that appear unhelpful. To prevent this, provide edit summaries with understandable reason(s) to explain your intent or purpose.
  • Edits where cited text is changed may be reverted since that violates Misplaced Pages's WP:Verify policy. Please provide a reference with your changes.
  • Personal attacks will be removed. Unfair and improper criticism will be ignored or removed. Do your best to make your point without writing paragraphs and paragraphs of text. Excessively long posts will probably be ignored and removed to save space. Retaliatory warnings will be reported as harassment.
  • If your posts here are removed, please do not restore them for any reason.
  • Experienced editors are welcome to reply to posts here if they do so nicely. They are also welcome to remove vandalism or non-constructive posts. If I disagree, I'll simply restore them, so don't take that personally.
  • Add posts to the relevant section or start a new section at the bottom. Thanks.

Cessna Citation II deletion

Hello and good day. You reverted my addition for May 3, 2007 incident that seemed to fit the criteria for WP:Aircrash. It was sourced as well with Aviation Safety Network. Could have used the NTSB report as well as more reliable. Seemed like a credible addition to me. Have a good day.Theairportman33531 (talk) 13:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

I doubt the NTSB report would make a difference, per the WP:AIRCRASH. Perhaps someone else could explain it better? BilCat (talk) 17:14, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
I have reviewed the addition: May 3, 2007: a Cessna Citation 550, N22HP crashed on approach to Dillon Airport because of inflight loss of control for undetermined reasons. Both occupants were killed. It was a non-notable accident and should have been removed, especially as it was "cause: undetermined", as there were no lessons learned there. Basically there have been many, many Citation II crashes, we don't list them all. As per WP:AIRCRASH we only add them if a notable person was killed (ie one with an existing bio on Misplaced Pages) or unless there is some lasting effect, like a fleet grounding, mandatory modifications, an airworthiness directive or something similar, as a result of the crash. Occasionally we will keep an accident that doesn't make that criteria, just because it was unusual, like the 2022 Baltic Sea Cessna Citation crash which is still in the article and has its own stand-alone article, as well. - Ahunt (talk) 17:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

WP:Thumbsize

Want to let you know I am now studying this item. Thanks! Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 20:18, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

OK. BilCat (talk) 20:38, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Re: Sukhoi Su-57 edit

The cited source says that the codename has not been confirmed by NATO. Regardless of reliability guidelines re: the website it was published on, how does an unconfirmed rumor support information presented authoritatively on Misplaced Pages? Perhaps removing it was overkill, but other options are to present it as a rumored codename or to cite a different source. It was not done in bad faith; I just investigated the cited source since the claim interested me and was surprised to find that it was not as authoritative as the article suggested. 84.251.71.133 (talk) 14:45, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Consider switching to the new MoveToDraft script

Hi, please consider switching to the new Move To Draft script. It is fork of the script that you are using, but has some bug fixes, important warnings, and some feature enhancements. You'll have to comment out/remove the line mentioning Evad's version in your common.js file. If for any reason, you decide to stick to Evad's version, no worries. Ciao. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:04, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
