Maintenance tags[edit]

Would you be so kind to tag specific sections or sentences that are dubious in some way? before removing the tag I read the entire article and made sure that I didn’t see anything suspicious. Of course you might know more about the topic than I do and you might find some things that warrant tagging. Jehochman Talk

The Cessna 210 page[edit]

The cockpit picture is 210R because a 210R has two alternators so on the left side of the panel at the bottom has two alternator switches Cessna 402c (talk) 18:04, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You need to provide a WP:Reliable Source that demonstrates that this particular aircraft is a 210R - personal analysis based on photos and your own personal knowledge is WP:Original Research which is frowned upon.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:15, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's also a 210N according to [1] the Brazilian aircraft register.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:35, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I can’t believe that it an 210r but the Brazilian aircraft register says it a 210n or someone filled in the paper work badly and said it was an 210n Cessna 402c (talk) 19:16, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The Brazilian registry also says it was manufactured in 1984 - which would also make it an N.Nigel Ish (talk) 19:24, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As does the serial number - 21064836 - Rs start at 21064898.Nigel Ish (talk) 19:27, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The it must be a very early r and a very late n Cessna 402c (talk) 05:25, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cessna 210 page[edit]

The 210n production started in 1979 I work on two 1979 210n’s the 210m production ended in 1978 Cessna 402c (talk) 18:07, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Again - on Wikipedia, changes are based on what Reliable sources say - and discuss this on the ARTICLE talk page where others will see the discussion.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:15, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So the reliable sources are not right Cessna 402c (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually the 1995 edition of Simpson does give production years of 79 to 85 for the N and 77 to 78 to the M. The info does seem to have been present before the citations were added so it may just have been sloppy citing.Nigel Ish (talk) 19:21, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

BLenheim in Indonesia[edit]

So happy to see that there was a source for this. I am very interested in the captured planes used by the fledgling Indonesian air force, do you have any more information regarding this? There are lots of issues number 2 of this magazine, could you tell me the date as well? Thank you!  Mr.choppers | ✎  20:37, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It was Air Enthusiast, not Air International so an error on my part - (just to confuse things further Air International was originally called Air Enthusiast!)Nigel Ish (talk) 21:45, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh dear! I assume it is this one? I shall buy it immediately, can't wait! Thanks.  Mr.choppers | ✎  14:08, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Aodhdubh[edit]

Hey, just noticed your posts on their talk page. Given their history, both recent and further back, I'm wondering if perhaps it would be more effective to post something at MilHist (if not ANI). jmho Cheers - wolf 00:17, 22 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I have placed notifications to the discussion I started on HMS Exeter's talk page at WP:MilHist and WP:Ships, and the discussion seems to have got a reasonable level of response, as did the previous question I raised there, just not from Aodhdubh. I'll leave it for someone else to raise the issue at ANI if they feel it is necessary.Nigel Ish (talk) 09:48, 22 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for the reverts. I expect that an admin will start blocking him shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:47, 22 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I would probably endorse admin action. Have spent considerable time cleaning up after his edits. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:35, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What are these airplanes?[edit]

Hello @Nigel Ish, you said that the airplanes in this photo are not A1N. However the source says they are A1N carrier fighters. So what type of aircraft are these? -Artanisen (talk) 11:32, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

They clearly aren't A1Ns (at least the ones in the foreground) as can be seen by comparing the photograph in the infobox to the photo with Akagi - the ones in the photo you added are much longer, have a liquid cooled engine rather than a radial and appear to be a two -seater.Nigel Ish (talk) 11:52, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Possibly a Mitsubishi B1M of some sort - which at least has the 3-bay wing of the mystery aircraft, although the tail looks different than the B1Ms I've seen photos of - note that the photo in question appears to be very heavily retouched.Nigel Ish (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yeah it looks similar to a Mitsubishi B1M torpedo bomber. Artanisen (talk) 04:22, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
