December 2014 edit

This may be the time to actually stop and look at other editor's supportive and collaborative edit comments, as evidenced by the "string" occurring in Beechcraft Model 18. Your edits will be revised or changed, as this is the very nature of the wikiwacky wonderland. No one has a prerogative to assume that their edits are sacrosanct. That particular article has been edited by a legion of experienced editors from the aviation group who have been actively involved in the development of the article. Calling them "trigger-happy", is really not constructive as there have been efforts to assist, not disrupt the flow of editing.


Here are some examples that you may need to address. Dates are written out, e.g. November rather than Nov. The aviation group uses "aircraft" as a default rather than the "plane", "airplane" or "aeroplane" colloquialisms.

The "lede" or lead paragraph(s) of a Wiki article are summary notations only with no need to elaborate or reference. There are also examples of FA, GA and other long-standing articles that may been illustrative of how to format citations, explanatory notes and bibliographic notations. If you need to refer to a particular bibliographic style, the MLA or APA style guides are the most commonly used formats in publishing. The normal levels of authority are, in order, tertiary authoritative books (that are published in traditional publishing houses where they are vetted and edited professionally), peer-reviewed periodicals or journals, then all others. Relying on popular sources such as subscription or "off-the-rack" periodicals are not as thoroughly researched or vetted, and least of all are online reference sources, which may not have any corroborative evidence of authority.

References do not need explanations other than stating the basics: Author, Title (Source such as a magazine or book), Publication (location of publishing, if required), Date of publication, and Retrieval of information, again, employing a style guide.

Note, your edit: Downen, Troy D., MSAE, MSAA, , A Multi-Attribute Value Assessment Method for the Early Product Development Phase With Application to the Business Airplane Industry (doctoral thesis for Ph.D. in Engineering Systems), Engineering Systems Div., Massachussetts Institute of Technology, Jan.7, 2005. Retrieved: Dec. 18, 2014. (Author was apparent employee of Raytheon Corp., while it was parent company of Beech. Note especially footnote p.44 re: "longest continuous production aircraft.

Sockpuppet investigation edit

 

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zxtxtxz, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:36, 6 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

This case (due to Dennis Bratland's misinterpretation of interrelated postings by User:Zxtxtxz and another unrelated user, on the articles about the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Casey Family Programs) was dismissed.

Copyright problem on Vornado Air edit

The material you added to the above article was really close to the source article. That's okay, since it's in the public domain. But in the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{PD-notice}} after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:42, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

 

I have just detected the same problem on the article Centennial of Flight Commission. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this legal requirement when copying from public domain material in the future. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:37, 5 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Diannaa, @talk: While I appreciate your gentle corrective guidance, and editing, I'm a bit baffled by this latest message from you. The text I copied (as I recall) was entirely placed in quotes, followed immediately, or very shortly thereafter, by a reference citation citing and linking to the source material.
It seems pretty obvious to me that this was an extremely clear declaration that the text in question was from that cited source, and not me. Quote marks around a quotation, by definition, are an explicit attiribution to another entity than the author -- and the reference note linked directly to the quoted source.
As for the rest of the material, while it strongly resembled much of the material from the cited sources, I believe I paraphrased and/or summarized their text -- and did so by sythesizing information from multiple sources, in most cases, into unique, original sentences -- with all sources very explicitly and painstakingly cited.
While I recognize that "public domain" notices may be required on other nations' work (and you are not from the U.S., where this material was produced in the public domain), United States copyright law, to the best of my recollection, requires NO attiribution to public domain sources, even of direct quotations (and quote marks are not required, either). So my efforts went well above and beyond the "legal requirement" as you put it, in my humble opinion. Do you have a U.S. intellectual property attorney's opinion, or U.S. statutory or judicial case citation, to the contrary?
Is there another basis for this "requirement"? I'll try to be conscious of it, and comply, but some explanation would be appreciated.
Respectfully,

Proposed deletion of Kansas Health Institute edit

 

The article Kansas Health Institute has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Larry Steckline edit

You weren’t being attacked. Wikipedia is a collaborative process. I have no way of knowing when you are going to return if you are going to return at all. So, by tagging it so other editors are aware that the article needs the help of other editors is a good thing. Mature adults graciously accept the help of others.

I certainly understand, respect and appreciate that, as you put it, "Wikipedia is a collaborative process." I think the edits were, in themselves, would have been quite appropriate, and helpful, had the editors extended the courtesy of a day's patience to ensure that the originator was finished with the article. None of the edits made were so critical that they could not have waited a day. However, the disruption from the edit conflicts cost me substantial time and effort, and confusion and lost information, resulting in substantive loss to the article. Mature adults do not act in haste, causing others to repent at leisure. They also sign their Talk posts. ~ Zxtxtxz (talk) 15:23, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Saga edit

Well, I'd read the latest news on the Capps/O'Donnell, etc., saga and anticipated having to spend time I can't readily spare to sort through all the complex craziness (recordings, players, plots), etc., in this complex tale. When I went to do the editing, I was delighted to find that someone else (you, in this case) had taken the time to sort through it all. Great job and thanks! Also, checking on your prior edits, learned a lot about Larry and Mary. Activist (talk) 16:57, 27 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Activist: Larry? (Steckline?) Mary?? Whom do yo mean?
~ Zxtxtxz (talk) 09:29, 28 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Sorry about that. It was "yo" edits on Lynn which took me to others on Ware. Activist (talk) 12:46, 28 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

"""The conventions for posting include "Not News" so it would probably be best not to post the status of the count since it will soon be over. Sarah has been hugely outspent and Mike has a great many more votes in hte "R" primary, but it looks as though he may have reached the end of his tether. Activist (talk) 15:18, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Good point. Thanks for the suggestion.

It is unfortunate, but the source cited for that information did not provide sufficient further details for me to select from among the disambiguation options -- thus the need to refer the reader to the disambiguation page, instead. If it were not a significant bit of information on this public figure, I would have left it out; but it is profoundly relevant as an identification of the cultural origins and underpinnings of this public official.
