Thanks, I will definitely check out all the resources you have given. I really appreciate it :) A 10 fireplane (talk) 14:22, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Just be aware that some projects have as much good intro info as do some of the links above -

Military History

Ships

were the 'greats' about 7 years ago - they ruled the waves and air at the time - however with various shifts things move - it is well worth getting a handle on the variations that some projects have in ideas about scope and MOS and so on - it is all great fun!

Got it, thanks again A 10 fireplane (talk) 14:34, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Milhist!

Per your request, item repaired.

I repaired the infobox for you on USS Oregon (BB-3), but wanted to show you where the answer was. Template:Infobox ship career under Custom Fields near the bottom. When you have trouble with a template check its document page. I find them by searching,

Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft

Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 20:07, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I realize you're new here, but typically questions about articles are posted on the article's talk page, not user talk pages. I know I prefer that and that's why I specifically requested as such, clearly at the top of my talk page. Your question has been moved to the article talk page and addressed there.

How do I install twinkle?

I went to my preferences and added then saved twinkle but don't know if it worked or where to find it. I would like to use it to easily revert acts of vandalism A 10 fireplane (talk) 18:58, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

You should have a new "TW" tab with a drop-down menu at the top, between "More" and the search bar (at least if you use the default Vector skin; otherwise I'd look somewhere near wherever page moves are located in the other skins). Huon (talk) 19:06, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

@Huon: thank you

Have your say!

Hi everyone, just a quick reminder that voting for the WikiProject Military history coordinator election closes soon. You only have a day or so left to have your say about who should make up the coordination team for the next year. If you have already voted, thanks for participating! If you haven't and would like to, vote here before 23:59 UTC on 28 September. Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 03:29, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

How do I upload images

I have some photos from another website, how do I upload them and make sure I don't violate copyright? A 10 fireplane (talk) 16:23, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Most of the time, photos you find on another website are considered copyrighted unless you can provide specific evidence that they are in the public domain (documented as being published in the U.S. before 1922, for instance). You can also upload photos that have a credible indication of being licensed in a way that is compatible with Wikipedia, even though they are copyrighted. The whole subject is complicated and you are right to be cautious.

To get started with uploading, you first need to realize that the photos will be hosted at Wikimedia Commons rather than on the English Wikipedia itself. My best advice is go to c:Commons:First steps and follow their instructions. Wikimedia Commons is a separate organization, different rules, different admins (mostly) than English Wikipedia, though both are under the umbrella of the Wikimedia Foundation. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:54, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: thank you, one more question. If the photos where taken by an employee of the US Navy then aren't they in the public domain? A 10 fireplane (talk) 17:00, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

An employee of the U.S. Navy, taking photos as part of their job as a photographer for the navy, is creating photos that are inherently in the public domain. But the employee's snapshots at home while off from work would not generally fall into the public domain. But I'm an amateur at photo copyright stuff. The better experts are at Commons, so you should be asking them for clarifications. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:13, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: ok awesome thank you A 10 fireplane (talk) 17:23, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks fror your warning on User talk:Kandikkozhi. Please note, as you posted there, that there is a difference between a Ban and a Block. User was blocked. -- Alexf^(talk) 14:32, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Grammar

Hi, A 10 fireplane, and thanks for your contributions, but are you deliberately spelling 'grammar' incorrectly in your edit summaries (and on your user page), and the 'Some times' on your user page? Regards JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 02:04, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

@JackintheBox: OML I hadn't realized autofill was doing this (the 'grammer' issue) the 'some times' was my bad. I'll change my autofill to correctly spell grammar. Thank you for bringing this to my attention A 10 fireplane (talk) 02:18, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Nominating a draft for deleation

How do I nominate a draft for deleation? A 10 fireplane ^{Imform me} 17:54, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Deleting a draft

Did you mean to archive your question before it could be answered?

Anyway, if it's your own draft, meaning you were the only contributor to the draft, you can request speedy deletion by placing {{db-author}} at the top and saving it. It will usually be deleted by an admin in a few minutes, but sometimes it may take a while longer or they may decline your request because other editors have made contributions to the draft.

If it's someone else's draft, the venue for deletion is Miscellany for Deletion (or is that "Discussion"). Using Twinkle is the easiest way to do this, since doing it manually requires a number of steps. You have to give a valid policy-based reason for the deletion and a discussion will generally ensue that may take a week or more to come to a conclusion. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:56, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: yes sir I figured it out, using Twinkle thank you none the less A 10 fireplane ^{Imform me} 19:10, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Userbox organization

Hey, I noticed your "My Wikiprojects" userboxes were a bit unorganized. I've made an example edit in case you want to organize them. It took me forever to figure out how to do that lol. I reverted myself, but hopefully you can see what I did so that you can organize your own userboxes however you want. Let me know if you have any questions, on this or anything else.

Changing Signature

Hello, I am considering changing my Signature to something seasonal but I'd assume that constantly changing your signature is against Wikipedia policies as it would get confusing. Is changing my signature frequency against policy? A 10 fireplane ^{Imform me} 01:27, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

There is no policy against changing signatures frequently, although I would personally recommend not to change it too often (it could become confusing). Happy holidays! Vermont (talk) 03:20, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

As long as your signature meets the signature guidelines, which it appears your proposed seasonal signature does, there is no reason why you can't change it from time to time. Changing it frequently might be considered, if not disruptive, at least a potential sign of NOTHERE, though. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:29, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi A 10 fireplane. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing!  ~~Swarm~~  {talk}  03:52, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Bassmint Productions/Soul Intent

I'm D.J. Butter Fingers, this is my history. What is on here, as far as when Soul Intent was formed, as well as some past members, is incorrect. The previous info that was on here 5 years ago was almost completely false, which is why I changed it, and since that time, it's been edited to death, with everyone adding things that are factually wrong or removing things that are factually correct. What I'm trying to do is put it back to some form that I had it 5 years ago. DJbuttehfingiz111 (talk) 17:57, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Nevanom (talk) 21:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

@Nevanom:I see what your saying, I removed FLV from the article. If you notice the difference in our edits the two "[" on either side provide a link to another article.

Hi A 10 fireplane, thank you for letting me know that my change was reverted. I made the change because there was a small but significant typo on the page (should be 71% not 1%, according to the paper it refers to). I'm not sure what the protocol is here. I just made my account today to fix this one thing and am completely lost. Would you mind telling me how I can get the page corrected if I cannot change it myself? Thanks again! Bogoam (talk) 21:48, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

@Bogoam: Ahh I see what your saying, in the future it would be helpful if you could leave an edit summary stating it was a typo. Whenever your changing something that big after just creating an account it rases some alarms since we have a lot of vandals here. I have fixed the article. If you have any other questions or would like some help learning how to edit I would be glad to offer assistance A 10 fireplane ^{Imform me} 00:28, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Should I Roleback?

There have been 3 recent edits to Yaffa Eliach by the same editor. All 3 are removing imformation, the editors reasoning is that the imformation is biased/ or has personal attacks. As far as I can see there isn't any personal attacks or biased imformation. Should I Roleback the edits? A 10 fireplane ^{Imform me} 18:20, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

He broke the death template by mistake, but he was acting in a constructive direction - the article has become a WP:COATRACK for rather fringe Polish nationalists attacks on her personal story - that was not related to her rather notable academic career (her Wapo obit has the 10k of text you reverted... In one line). It was not vandalism - though possibly it would have been challenged.Icewhiz (talk) 19:55, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

WP:UAA reports on users with no edits

Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:55, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

@Beeblebrox: I understand not wanting to waste admins time, if a user had a blatant username violation it seams the most logical thing for me would be to report them. However I don't want to cause any disruption. But are you saying you wouldn't want me to report a user (I report today) with the name "GAy Boig" just because there where no edits? A 10 fireplane ^{Imform me} 00:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Yes. Only the very worst of the worst usernames merit a block when they have not even attempted to edit. Hate speech, attacking specific living persons or Wikipedia users, that sort of thing should be reported no matter what, but something more marginal like this should not be reported if they have not edited. What is offensive is of course very much a matter of perspective and opinion, but this probably isn't blockable even if they do edit. People are allowed to self-identify as gay if they want to. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:07, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

/* Legacy */ "Human" instead of "people".

Hi,

I don't know if I should talk in Serbian, but I'll continue in English. The edit I made was to change the translation of "ljudi" from "people", to "human". In my opinion, the intent of the original text was to identify the ability of "we", the Serbian people, to forgive, as human beings. The word "people" has no place there, it would mean that the original is questioning the existence of "we" as people, which makes no sense in the context. The focus is on the ability to forgive.

The number of arches making up Wallingford Bridge is 19, just this morning I counted them. There are 16 arches visible on the north side and 19 on the south. I can also sight https://thames.me.uk/s01330.htm which also states 19 arches. On checking I can say that there isn't room for 22 arches. Some sources state 17, others historically state 19.

It was not test edit that I made to Glossary of graph theory terms recently.

adjacent means 

'The relation between two vertices that are both endpoints of the same edge'

and incident means

1. The relation between an edge and one of its endpoints.[2] 2. Two edges are said to be incident if they share a vertex. (cf. adjacent)

Word 'walk' at W section, It is correct to write an incident because it mentions two edges.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Younghaha (talk • contribs) 14:54, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Your 'autofill'

Hi, at User talk:A 10 fireplane/Archive 1#Grammar you mentioned to me last November that you use an 'autofill' when editing Wikipedia. However, I suggest to stop using it altogether, as it seems to do more harm than good to your spelling/grammar. For instance, in your talk page archive I spotted over a dozen spelling/grammatical errors in your messages, several of which persist repeatedly throughout the page, e.g. using 'its' when 'it's' should be used; using 'your' when 'you're' should be used; using 'imformation' instead of 'information' (which must be due to the 'autofill'). Also, please be careful not to make obvious typos such as 'brinning' and 'deleation'. In this edit you wrote 'awnsered' and 'awnsers', also due to your faulty autofill. Regards, JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 09:05, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Also, be sure to use an apostrophe when indicating possession, e.g. article's instead of articles, admins' instead of admins (the apostrophe goes after the 's' when the noun is plural, unless the plural form of the noun does not add an 's', e.g. people's, sheep's, data's, women's). JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 09:08, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

• @JackintheBox:Autofill refers to a replacement of a misspelled word. I am not responsible for it and nor do I control it. The 'grammar' issue was it, however all the mistakes on my talk archive are me. Out of the 200+ editors I have come across you are the only one to ever comment on it. Making me think that you would like me to spend more time writing a simple "I have read you comment" messages than actually contributing to Wikipedia. A 10 fireplane ^{Inform me} 03:38, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

That was certainly not my intention. The reason I brought it up was to suggest how you could reduce the number of spelling/grammatical errors when contributing to Wikipedia. Such errors could potentially reduce the encyclopædia’s quality and may confuse other users/readers, even when it’s a talk page message. Also, I don’t know if it was intentional, but you wrote ‘you’ in the above comment instead of ‘your’, and ‘messages’ in plural instead of singular. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 05:22, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

I have no problem with you finding typos and grammatical errors—which I'm barely seeing—in A10F's edits, but if the edits aren't in the article namespace, I don't see any imperative reason to do so. By the way, due to the background color of this page, the blue links are hurting my eyes. —RainFall 06:12, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

@JackintheBox: Oh ok thank you for explaining. I have always had trouble with spelling, especially online. I will try to cut down on the number of typos I have. Sorry for sounding defensive above A 10 fireplane ^{Inform me} 13:51, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

It was not an unconstructive edit. It was a Warning so people did not get a virus. Also, I added a screenshot and logo (witch for some reason di not show up but were definitely there in the code) and proper redirect links to the web archiver (archive.org) so people could see what the site use to look like and read there shutdown msg. and as I said in the "What did you change" section this was the first time editing a WIKI so I'm still learning the system.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
