An editor probably associated with wikiproject aircraft has accused me of lying, whats most bothersome is that he has done this so blatantly, despite evidence being to the contrary, he has not even bothered to make an effort to go look up any of the list of aircraft operators that need fixing, I may not have mentioned specific aircraft but couldnt he just go look up a few to see if they are flawed? instead he has called my claims dubious just because i did not provide a direct link to any, isnt it his job as well to just go have a look even if not up to dealing with it? We may not agree on much but be fair as far as this editors comment and attitude is concerned, his post is at the aircraft project talk page. In real life this would probably equate to telling the police about something factual and them not bothering to look it up and calling your claims false, can you emphathise with that? this guy did not even bother about what other editors will think of his false accusation, kindly be just and let him know he is wrong and that project editors cannot say such things, no matter to whom, thanks. 139.190.175.128 (talk) 17:09, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

All their edit summaries are questionable. Not likely a new user. - BilCat (talk) 19:30, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
I saw my edit about the KLM Cityhopper was reverted.
At pages of other airlines, accidents of subsidiaries are metioned. Therefore, I don't understand why this should not be the case for KLM. Take for example the article Lufthansa. In the introduction of "Incidents and accidents", it states "For accidents and incidents on Lufthansa-branded flights which were operated by other airlines, see the respective articles...". Beside this, the article spends lot of attention to the Germanwings crash. And there are no claims for having no fatal accidents since a certain date.
So it seems a bit unfair, that the KLM Cityhopper accident is not mentioned in this article and there is even claimed KLM did not have any fatal accidents since the Tenerife crash.
About the statement that there has never been an fatal accident after the Tenerife-accident: this depends on the definition of KLM. The company KLM did obviously have a an accident as KLM Cityhopper is part of KLM. Therefore, the statement is at least ambiguously and should terefore be removed in my opinion.

Hello. "Bell Helicopter Textron Canada" is just a manufacturing/assembly plant, building/assembling helicopters developed by Bell in Fort Worth, Texas, just like General Motors have manufacturing/assembly plants in Canada and Ford in Mexico, building/assembling vehicles designed by GM/Ford in the US. So claiming that the "National origin" for the Bell 505 is Canada is like claiming that GM's cars are Canadian cars and Ford's light trucks are Mexican light trucks. Or like claiming that the BMW cars built/assembled in Spartanburg, SC, are American cars and not German. And so on. Cheers, - Tom | Thomas.W talk 16:55, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi, MilborneOne, you may have noticed I undid your copy-edits to this list. My reason is that the text in the "Subject" column is taken directly from the formal judgments of the JCPC.

Thanks for adding the stuff you did to Francis Marsham. I've got some sources that I can use to add more detail about his military career, which is where I feel the emphasis should be rather than on the two cricket matches he played. I wondered whether you felt that there's a case for moving to Francis Bullock-Marsham or not? The Bullock was used by others in his family as a name but never, as far as I can tell, with the hyphen other than in references to him. It would seem more sensible to do so to me - happy to do it but I thought I'd gather opinion first. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:40, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, the user Futurepilot1999 keeps listing Eurowings Glasgow Airport to Düsseldorf Airport route as seasonal despite the fact that it only stops for one week in January.

You added some interesting material about this cricketer's wartime and hospitality career.

Hello. I see that you are an administrator. On 26 February 2011, you made an edit to the Airbus A318 article stating that the first flight was from Toulouse. This is not true. It was from Hamburg, Germany. See http://www.airbus.com/presscentre/pressreleases/press-release-detail/detail/a318-takes-off-on-maiden-flight This error has been in Wikipedia for over 6 years. I have corrected it.
You brought the Airbus A318 article from a redirect back to its own article, possibly taking sections from the Airbus A320 article. That is when the error was done. Prior to the redirect, it was a short article but there was no mention of where the first flight was. Vanguard10 (talk) 23:59, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:17, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello MilborneOne,
Recently you reverted changes I made to the lists of surviving Handley Page Halifaxes and Avro Lancasters. I strongly believe that the current format for lists of surviving warplanes is messy, illegible, and challenging to use. I have devised a new format that I believe significantly improves the quality of the presentation. The table I have created arranges information into separate and clear categories, and additionally, allows for the inclusion of an image of each item. I feel that this new format exponentially improves the usability of the page as well as its overall quality. For an example of another page of surviving aircraft that uses a table, see List of surviving Douglas A-26 Invaders.
As you suggested, I wrote a section in the talk page for the list of surviving Avro Lancasters. In the section, I outlined what I have written here, and asked for comments. I concluded by saying that if there were no objections, I would revert the page to my new format. I hope that you agree that my new format is an improvement over the existing one. I implore of you that if there is no objection and I change the page to the new format, you will leave it as is. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

I have reverted the List of surviving Avro Lancasters to my format in order to serve as an example, and suggested that people have a look at it and comment. Additionally, I provided a rationale for each of the fields of information I included. If you have any more comments, let me know.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsc9i8 (talk • contribs)

I noticed that you deleted the "Notable appearances in media" section that I added to a couple of articles that already had entries in Aircraft in fiction and moved the link to "See also." WP:AIRMOS recommends the standalone section (see section WP:AIRPOP, relevant passage quoted):
Aircraft type articles that have entries here should have Notable appearances in media sections that simply refer to this article, in a manner like Sikorsky MH-53#Notable_appearances_in_media.
I count approximately 115 (now 113) aircraft articles already have a "Notable appearances in media" section; only 7 (now 9) have that link in "See also." My personal thought is that if there is content on Aircraft in fiction, we should link to it from the aircraft page in a consistent manner, which has already been established by the MOS.
In reviewing the discussion on popular culture on the MOS talk page, I see you have participated in past discussions. Would it not be preferable for all of the aircraft pages to be consistent? Cthomas3 (talk) 19:29, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Apart from the fact it was not the first major accident for the aircraft type, it has a lot in common with Qantas Flight 32 on the face of it. Would appreciate it if you and WilliamJE leave it for 5-7 days before going to AfD. Let's see how this one develops please. Mjroots (talk) 07:47, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi there MilborneOne. Can you please move TAP Air Portugal back to TAP Portugal? The last name is the current one. Anthony Appleyard (talk · contribs) made the move to TAP Air Portugal but this is not an uncontroversial move and should be discussed first.--Jetstreamer Talk 12:33, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
Fair enough, I thought they would belong because they do operate scheduled flights in the Shetlands, but I understand the reasoning. Mordac (talk) 12:44, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
Michael, could you semi-protect Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23? A series of IPs keep making changes to the cited specs for a different variant. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 17:54, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
When you get a chance, can you take a look at Special:Contributions/Elektricity? The editing pattern there is ringing alarm bells. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:36, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

G’day from Oz, and compliments of the season to you; when you get the chance could you have a look at the AirTanker Services article - the fleet details look wrong to me, despite the G-INFO results. Cheers YSSYguy (talk) 04:46, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
I will tweak the article. MilborneOne (talk) 11:19, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi! I've noticed your contributions to Soviet aviation articles and was wondering if you would consider joining the Soviet Aviation Task Force (still a work in progress right now) one it is established?--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 15:24, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Hope you had a good holiday and have a good New Year. I was wondering if we could rely on your stewardship once again (having previously had your indulgence on Deaths in 2017) in warding off the inevitable vandalism which occurs from each January 1st on an unprotected list of deceased persons of base notability. At the least I am hoping we could approach you at the first sign of negativity, or if you prefer you could of course put the (currently outline) article on your watchlist instead. That's if you are agreeable to help. Best wishes whichever you decide. Ref (chew)(do) 14:20, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment "image removed - tagged at commons as possibly copyright violation"
I am not an administrator but I, too, am concerned about improper use of images in Wikipedia. Wikipedia used to be scrappy and new so taking some images might have seemed ok but now Wikipedia is an established giant.
The soprano's image that you removed was also removed by me a few weeks ago but I was reverted and did not want to start an edit war.
I am currently studying how Flickr images can be used in Wikipedia and if we are doing it the right way. We somehow do it without asking the photographer specifically if the image can be used. I wonder if it is a case of them not knowing to un-check a box?
Thanks for your wisdom. Vanguard10 (talk) 03:29, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
I am writing to you because I have seen your work in aviation related articles and you recently made an astute action to remove an equivocal photo in a DYK article that I created.
I am concerned that Wikipedia uses a lot of photos citing fair use but doesn't do a good effort to attribute it or ask permission. Wikipedia certainly doesn't ask permission. Newspapers routinely credit photos at the bottom but Wikipedia never does.
What is a possible solution? Discussion is probably the first step but Wikipedia has a culture that defends its greatness. Many don't want to have any sort of disclaimer, warning, or, in the case of photos, attribution. It is hidden so that you only see it if you search for it.
Here are possible examples to consider if used with permission or used without permission

This is regarding your India page and middle and great power status. India is a middle power as can be read here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_power (section: overlap between great powers and middle power) Some regard India as a great power too, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_power (section: Hierarchy of great power) Passage of the above section is reproduced here: "The United States is still preeminent but the legitimacy, effectiveness, and durability of its leadership is increasingly questioned worldwide because of the complexity of its internal and external challenges. ... The European Union could compete to be the world's number two power, but this would require a more robust political union, with a common foreign policy and a shared defense capability. ... In contrast, China's remarkable economic momentum, its capacity for decisive political decisions motivated by clearheaded and self centered national interest, its relative freedom from debilitating external commitments, and its steadily increasing military potential coupled with the worldwide expectation that soon it will challenge America's premier global status justify ranking China just below the United States in the current international hierarchy. ... A sequential ranking of other major powers beyond the top two would be imprecise at best. Any list, however, has to include Russia, Japan, and India, as well as the EU's informal leaders: Great Britain, Germany, and France."
India's status as a potential superpower can be read here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_superpowers
I have quoted all wikipedia articles on the basis of which I had made these amendments. I believe wikipedia is a 'reliable source' for wikipedia. I, therefore, request you to kindly reinstate my added sentences. If you want I can also furnish further references from other authors, websites, etc.

Hey, I noticed you removed the navbox I added from RAF bases that were also USAF bases, since the USAF navbox didn't directly link to them. Do you have an MOS section I could read that would provide that guidance? Thanks! Garuda28 (talk) 19:26, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Mod
How are you? Hope you are doing good. Before I rant let me introduce myself, I am a simple web enthusiast who loves to add stuff to Wikipedia and learn from it, I have learnt a lot about wiki ways over the time but I don't seem to understand how irrational moderators are at Wikipedia. I don't contribute for any privileges, heck I haven't even created my own page nor edited my Talk page but I digress.
You know, I am really perplexed by the logic mods had used overtime and then retracted it again and again. I created an article for Stealth Inc 2 and it was denied despite mod agreeing to my logic it over email, now the same article exists using the exact same format, it was recreated Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones. Off lately, I had an altercation with @Adamgerber80: where he schooled me not to use a social media posts as a source even if it comes from a verified account of a government entity. Whats intriguing is he ended up doing the same, quoting a social media link as a reference for Mk. III LCU decommissioned vessel. I didn't revert it because that was the only source at that point and it was coming from a verified entity so there was no need for me to be grumpy. Whats right should be supported.
Now coming to you sir. I did not change the reference because that is the only quintessential source used in the whole article (multiple times), the page is there since the website started (2011). Now you are saying that a user has updated the ref., regrettably, you did not heed my comment nor did you check the changes that user made. The ref. is still the same, the user has only changed the date to March 2018 for a page that existed since 2011. I am not sure how the reference was unworthy before and how it gained relevance now by merely changing a date for a page which existed since 2011.
My only point is to kindly check the changes thoroughly before jumping the gun. It hurts users who when irrational logic and decisions are made.
I hope this repertoire hasn't put you off.
JM2C.

G'day Michael, could you please consider protecting FlyPelican; some IPs are constantly changing the fleet numbers. The problem is that five aircraft are registered to the company but one, VH-OAM (ex O'Connor Airlines and de Bruin Air) was bought purely for spares, never flew a single inch on revenue service, and has been cut up. The AOC lists four aircraft, these being VH-NTL, 'OTD, 'OTE and 'OTQ, and it is the AOC that I have shown as the source for the fleet numbers. The airline will be taking on VH-ACV, ex A3-SKY with Royal Tonga, but that aircraft is still registered to another owner and has to be fitted with WAAS GPS and ADS-B transponders first.

Stephen C. Ananian meets notability as a Wikipedia article because he is one of the few pilots to shoot down Me-262 and as pilot of Armenia hertiage, is entitled for notability like other Armenian-American USAAF officers like Carl Genian and Ray Melikian. Hence, please reconsider in removing it from AfD. Bookish Worm (talk) 10:27 AM, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
O man of great wisdom, I come with a message. I have seen many astute comments from you on aviation related Wikipedia articles. On the talk page of United Airlines, I find it concerning that I have a difference in opinion with you. It is about the pet dog dying in the overhead compartment. Please see the talk page. Perhaps, you will come to agree with me or disagree and present a demonstration of your great wisdom? Vanguard10 (talk) 01:51, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
