Huntster, I don't suppose you might be able to find an appropriate license to cover the getting the two versions of Merlin 1D engines (Merlin 1D and Merlin 1D vacuum) that are, apparently, currently on the SpaceX.com site, so that we might have them to use on the Merlin article? Here is a link to where I saw them today: [1]
And do note, the post immediately before that forum post, seems to have a good photo of the all the Merlin 1C models; but I don't see a specific source given for where that 1C photo came from. Cheers. N2e (talk) 21:27, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey Huntster. Just a question. I notice you did some citation cleanup in SpaceX private launch site. Cool, and thanks.
But I'm unclear on how date formats work in Wikipedia. I created that article in 2013, and I used dmy format from the very first edit. (Although I'm American, and very familiar with mdy format, I find the other formats (either dmy or international digits like yyyy-mm-dd) to generally be best for the global and multi-lingual peoples who read the English Wikipedia.) However, having said that, I usually just put my dates in prose or citations, and let bots worry about keeping articles consistent with the Wikipedia process standards for such things (i.e., maintain the older/orginal standard format of each article...).
Just wondering, how did you see to make your changes mdy format? I wonder if someone changed the article in the two-year course of its life without a discussion. Cheers. N2e (talk) 04:20, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
I don't own the album, but do you know what the order they're listed in the liner notes? We could do it the way it says there. dannymusiceditor ~talk to me!~ 03:36, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the note on the revert. Perhaps something to note, using the mobile version of wiki the page notice doesn't show. Possibly look into that via the pump or elsewhere. Anyhow ta. NJA (t/c) 19:36, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Dear Hunster, I have just finished a long and arduous process of rewriting Autonomous sensory meridian response. It is not perfect, but it is of the standard in terms of structure, style, and content commensurate with articles I have authored for publications. Yet a user has tagged it with two criticisms: that it lacks structure and flow, and that it may need rewriting entirely.
Since joining WP, I have risen to criticisms placed in tags, and have learned a lot. But on this occasion, I cannot seem to reconcile the tags with the article. If it really is an example of one lacking in structure and flow, and needs rewriting, then frankly, I am of no use to Wikipedia, because it represents my most focused work. I took a look at the user who placed the tags and he/she does not have any contributions that I can see. However, as the author of the ASMR page, I am obviously biased and would very much appreciate your intervention and opinion. Many thanks. Prolumbo (talk) 08:26, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Per the spirit of WP:PRESERVE, as you did in this edit.[2] I've been a huge cheerleader of that policy over the years, and while I almost never edit in the hard sciences (well, unless ya know, aliens hah hah), it's really nice to see an editor either exhibit common sense or to have been paying attention to the WP:EP. I might even dream tonight that that is standard procedure on a whole lot of Wikipedia I never get around to. Kudos! -- Kendrick7talk 03:05, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
I would like to continue the discussion I began on the Orb-1 talk page but am hesitant in view of your notice in red at the top of this page. If it's okay with you then I will go ahead, otherwise discussion will probably have to be spread over a number of pages. Thanks. Abul Bakhtiar (talk) 15:56, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

I have made several corrections to the Welch College page. Every time I make the corrections, however, you revert them. On my most recent correction, I left a comment on why I was reverting your corrections. Yet, when I looked at the page again, you had placed a block on it. I am affiliated with Welch College. The corrections you are making are incorrect. It is obvious that you are not affiliated with the college by the incorrect revisions you continue to make. I would appreciate it if you would take the block off the page and allow me to make the corrections so there is not false information published about the college on this page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.52.208.236 (talk) 22:06, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Dearest Huntster, I noticed you have removed the link to the data server of Earth2014 with the argument it is linked via the homepage. That's indeed the case. However, your edit is not consistent with other links on the Digital elevation model page where GTOPO30 links to both homepage and ftp server are provided. Please edit consistently. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geodesy2000 (talk • contribs) 02:14, 4 March 2016
It's a pleasure to collaborate on an article again, after all these years. The last time I believe we have the pleasure was when HD 106906 b was just discovered in 2013 and the page came together like clockwork. Unfortunately, information on this ancient (and possibly dead) galaxy won't be available for another few days, when Pascal Oesch releases the final draft of their findings. Looking forward to it!

Hi Hunster,
You removed a couple of references I added - one to new Horizons, one to Noise. Could you let me know why you did this please? Both of the references were to my books, and both these books are very relevant to the topics, so seem helpful to me.
Many thanks

Hello. I just added the Spaceflight infobox to the Schiaparelli EDM lander article, but I am getting two error messages ("Invalid parameter") that am unable to fix. I will appreciate if you could take a look at it whenever you have a chance. Thank you. BatteryIncluded (talk) 17:03, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Sorry if I made mistakes, is my first time in a talk page and English is not my mother language. Said than I am beginner and I want to respect the rules, I would like to talk about the videos copyright and the fair use of copyright material. I would like to point that between the fair use, a clear factor is when the material has a educational purpose. In all the cases I put a link to a video, all of them are of a high educational nature.
There is a second question helping my opinion about the fair use nature of the videos we talk: There is not an effect upon work's value. In this factor (the 4th factor listed in the above link), the burden of proof here rests on the copyright owner, who must demonstrate the impact of the infringement on commercial use of the work. Some of the videos were aired for free in a public tv broadcasting.
As a matter of fact, some of the videos are improving the owner work's value because the close caption added and promoting the diffusion of the video, the main reason of making a video aired in a public broadcasting.
I think it is correct to review the video links posted, but not all cases they will be a infringement of the copyright laws. It had to be considered case by case, and in some of the video links I made, in my opinion there is a fair use for educational reasons and without an effect upon work's value.
Regards --Cnkcnkcnk (talk) 19:54, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Note: I am still waiting an answer about if I can make links to educational video files or not

Hey Huntster. Would you please consider taking a look at the mess that has become off the article Arcade City.
I created that article, with a number of regular old reliable sources etc., on the day or two after one of the economists I follow on Twitter tweeted links to several of those media articles. I thought it deserved a Wikipedia article, and clearly met WP:GNG. I've created a number of initial stub articles in that way; many of which I've not done anything, or very little, with thereafter.
In this case, I happened to subsequently become involved with this company/mobile app. So now, it would of course, not be appropriate that I work on that article, and have not.
This article has become a complicated mess, and needs attention from experienced editors etc. I'll just leave it at that.
Cheers. N2e (talk) 18:47, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
