Hi im Doriantrue (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2011 (UTC)doriantrueDoriantrue (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2011 (UTC) and I’ve just written my first wikipedia article as a project for my English class and I was wondering if you had any advice on how I could improve the look? Thanks! The page is Curtis Baptist High School.[reply]

Hello I'm User:Nicobro1/sandbox (User_talk:Nicobro1) 11:39, 18 October 2012. I am working on my first article for my English 103 class. I am writing about one of the buildings, Lee III Hall at Clemson University. If you could give me any advice, I would greatly appreciate it! here is the link to my article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_III_Hall_of_Clemson_University Thank you!

I saw your Esso Club article and see you were attempting to make a link.

Instead the format is:

• '#REDIRECT ESSO Club' - without the ' and with the [[ ]] around the link

and the link automatically transfers... I already did it. But keep it up!

If you have a better reference link, please include it instead of or in addition to mine. If should be some reputable source, not a forum or a blog. Also, I see you struggle with signing on my talk page. Actually, you can sign with ~~~~ (see WP:SIG). WP will substitute you signature.

Hi, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind lending your opinion to a content dispute that I am currently involved in on University of South Carolina. As you know, USC has a strong rivalry with Clemson University. I feel that the athletics section of the article should discuss this rivalry, and I feel that this discussion should include a reference to the overall record between the two schools in various major sports. Other editors have disagreed, and feel that the record should not be mentioned. As it happens, Clemson leads in two of the discussed sports and USC leads in the third. I would appreciate it if you would consider lending your opinion on this issue on Talk:University of South Carolina. Thanks! Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 00:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Two things about this. First, they're both AC-130s, and there's a separate article for that model; are they really appropriate here? Second, there are thousands of C-130s still in service - is listing preserved airframes even practical? Just curious. ericg ✈ 23:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have revised your revision of my edit regarding the above. If you follow the link I added to my revision, click on Major violations, search Clemson then public report, you will find that my facts are accurate, including at least one major violation by the Clemson head coach in 1981. Please be careful to document the factual basis of your edits before editing my posts as I always report based on documented evidence.

Hey there Mark. I removed your addition of trivia to this article, because it was unencyclopedic and not verified. You also might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles. Regards, Gzkn 08:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I'm currently on recent changes patrol, which means I'm on the lookout for vandalism and the like (your edit wasn't vandalism though!). I use a nifty tool called Lupin's anti-vandal tool to spot questionable changes such as this one. The tool often spits out false positives though, so sometimes I take a look at edits which may need improvement instead. Anyway, hope you're enjoying your Reggae! :-) Good job so far with Claude Moore Colonial Farm. Happy editing! Gzkn 08:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To be frank, I think the article would be better off not listing every single aircraft that's on display, but instead focus on the museum itself (its history, what aspects of it make it unique, etc.). However, I think you'll find that http://vam.smv.org/ might contain what you're looking for (see the Aircraft section). :-) Gzkn 09:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 05:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Hi, Mark. In response to your question about uploading an image, the easiest way is to follow the steps in the Wikipedia "Upload file" menu item in the toolbox located on the left menu bar (under the search window). After you have selected an image, one of the first "prompts" is to identify the source in relation to the Summary (author, source, URL, fair use rationale if applicable, extra {{tags}}, etc.). Most often images need to have a tag and in the case of a B-17 image, it is most likely to receive a

This image is a work of a U.S. Military or Department of Defense employee, taken or made as part of that person's official duties.

Unfortunately, I don't know about availability of roundels. Most articles just use national flags (see UH-60 Black Hawk for example}. You might want to drop the question on the Aircraft Project talk page, though. Unrelated to that...is your father in the Southern California area? I was introduced to an elderly Sublette (can't remember first name or rank) by some friends at the Mojave Airport a few years back, during a Veteran's Day celebration. Just thought it might be a small world. Akradecki 14:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sublette, thanks and Howdy. Yeah, I'm a band nerd/geek/BQ. Great overall job on the documentation. I used to be in Special Operations and I was the Wing Liaison for 13 Accident/Safety Investigation Boards for Special Ops aircraft, so if you want to know the details of any of those accidents (especially the MC-130 crashes in 2003 and beyond). I also still have a few contacts there and/or can get you some basic info. I think it is important to note that Spirit 03 was the last gunship to be brought down and that it has not been involved in a Class A mishap since that date. Should we include that? BQZip01 05:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed your note about SAT being a CIA operation...I've heard that too, but I was wondering if they still are? They've got 3 747s sitting in storage here at Mojave, supposedly being used as a parts source for their flying aircraft. Also, FWIW, what do you know about Tepper being CIA, since they fly C-130s? Akradecki 16:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I just created an article on Tepper Aviation...a copy edit and any C-130 related additions would be appreciated. I'll be adding a pic or two of Tepper -130s that have been in and out of MHV later this evening. Akradecki 21:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Mark! I noticed you've added some content to the Hardee's article. Some of it seems like OR, and not of it is cited. Do you plan on adding references soon? -- Mikeblas 21:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like you were in heaven!!

As a follow-up to our earlier conversation, on Friday I got a nice tour of a Tepper L-382 (67X). In the pics I'd posted to the article, it's shown all white, but now it has the Tepper blue stripes as well. It's the most immaculate 130 I've ever been aboard, and the five-panel glass cockpit is stunning. The guy who conducted the tour also confirmed the CIA link, but that's not a wiki-usable source, of course. Akradecki 05:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Boeing F-99 Bomarc, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Hi Mark, while working on an article on the 2002 air tanker crashes (draft is here), I've come across a couple of references to a scandal back in the 1990s about C-130As that were obtained by the U.S. Forest Service from the Air Force, and then used for covert missions while on the books as air tankers. This is one reference (go to the bottom of the rather lengthy page) and this is another. Do you have any information on this? If it was a legit scandal, rather than just another conspiracy theory, it might make for an interesting article in its own right. AKRadecki^Speaketh 23:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link! I find it curious that that link, as well as the NTSB summary, are still only preliminary and have no probable cause information, 7 years after the incident. I am, of course, wanting to find out if this was a wing structure incident like the three U.S. crashes, or was caused by something unrelated. Oh well. Thanks much!

Mark, I'm finally done with the U.S. Forest Service airtanker scandal article...this is the event that I asked you for sources regarding covert use. Turns out that, although there were allegations of covert use, there was never any corroborating evidence, only testimony from one whistleblower. Anyway, if you sleeping problems tonight, reading through this new article will probably solve them! AKRadecki^Speaketh 20:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

The edit history has to follow the text of the page for legal reasons of copyright. When a cut and paste move is done the edit history is not moved. Use the "move" tag at the top of the screen and the text and the edit history are moved together. If the target page is not available then it cat be deleted, if the move is appropriate. Probably the easiest way to repair your cut-and-paste move is to delete the Edward T page and do the move again using the move tag, an administrator need to help here.
