[edit] Infobox

There is a consensus discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft#Infobox Aicraft consensus discussion on adopting a non-specifications summary infobox for aircraft articles. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks! - Emt147 ^Burninate! 18:36, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northern Force

Hello, I noticed you removed the tags I added to Northern Force, Team 172. I added them because the article is not clear on what Northern Force actually is, and might appear to fail WP notability standards. If this article can be cleaned up so that it is clear about the subject matter and notability, then the tags can be removed. The subject of the article seems like it is very interesting, so a clearly written article will be a good one. Best, Paul 21:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Framing in User Page

Hey, I just saw your user page, and it looks great with the frame around it. My first thought was to steal the template to use it on my own...but I thought better. (lol) I was wondering, did you design it custom, or did you find it as a template somewhere? If you did pick it up from a wiki community, would you please direct me to it. If not, I would appreciate a summary of what is involved in formatting something like that. Thanks, --KPWM_Spotter 00:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi KPWM Spotter! Sorry I couldn't get back sooner, I was on a Wikibreak. Feel free to "steal" whatever design you want from my user page; the header, box, layout, whatever you want. It's a wiki! Feel free! I even "stole" some of that from other editors, and put some of it together myself. If you're curious about creating tables for your user page, check out Help:Table. The borders were made with table borders and <div> tags. See you around! —Mets501 (talk) 23:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks alot! That help page was just what I was looking for! --KPWM_Spotter 00:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Any time! —Mets501 (talk) 00:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

You might want to check "nad" under "About me" and "ammount" under "Wikipedia and me".... Akradecki 17:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Finally...

I've created the page for Legacy Releasing, thanks to your suggestion. Now we won't have to worry about a single red link anymore on the dab page. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 02:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Dear KPWM Spotter,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that for security reasons, VandalProof's creator requires its users to have made 250 edits to mainspace articles, which you have not (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - Glen 15:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Argh...As an afterthought, I thought 230 edits would get me close enough...Oh well...--KPWM_Spotter 17:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cuspidal representation

Hi KPWN Spotter, Thanks for your message. I removed the clean up box because I did't think the comment regarding the abbreviation reflects what needed to be done. I agree that the article needed to be cleaned up but I do not use any abbreviations in the article. Please remove the comment regrading the abreviation in the clean up box.

[edit] Image:Crj705.jpg

It's a possible copyright violation - as I said in my edit summary. The uploader included the source (the Air Canada website) but uploaded under the {{PD-self}} licence! i.e. he/she is suggesting he made the image, even though it belongs to Air Canada (and is copyrighted). Regards Mark83 15:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

The actual summary was "rmv poss. imagevio" but yes, sorry, I see what you mean. Imagevio is an abbreviation for Image violation (i.e. shorthand for image copyright violation). Regards Mark83 15:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your request for merge of Street Fighter EX2 Plus

I noticed, that you posted the merge tag under the above article and didn't vote in the discussion. This is just a friendly reminder that you may want to view the article again and post your vote. It has been expanded greatly since you placed the tag and you may disagree with your initial assumption. Thanks, BrianZ^(talk) 18:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, it shouldn't be up for merge any longer. I still think that there could be a better system for organizing the Streetfighter articles, as "EX2 Plus" only gets a quick mention of it's title on the main street fighter page. Video games aren't my area of expertise, but I somehow feel that something should be done to better standardize the articles. Anyways, thanks for dropping me the message. --KPWM_Spotter 18:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Video games aren't my area either. I was just checking out the article creators contribs since he's new and I was welcomign him, and I stumbled upon the article. No problem. BrianZ^(talk) 18:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing my Rutan stuff

Thanks for the offer...I replied on the project page, but thought I'd drop you a note here, as well. As I wrote on the project page, so far I've created these new pages: Scaled Composites ATTT, Toyota TAA-1, NASA AD-1, and added or edited these to a fair degree: Rutan VariViggen, Rutan VariEze, Rutan Defiant. One the Scaled Composites page itself, I've added more of their aircraft, and started adding to the page content. I've got a ton of material, and really need to sit down and write a thorough history of both RAF and Scaled. The next page I create, probably later this morning, if get free here at work, will be the Rutan/Amsoil Racer, and I'll let you know when that's ready for copy edit. I have a list on my user page of all the stuff I do as well, and you're always welcome to check that for updates.

So, you spot in Maine, eh? I think I'm about as far as I can get from you and still be in the continental US...I'm at Mojave Airport, basking in 108 degree heat! Akradecki 15:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Specs on many of these planes would be difficult, as most of the data is proprietary. Don't know how familiar you are with Burt, but he's obsessed with secrecy, even though he does things in broad daylight on the ramp of a public airport. He has quite a dislike for me because I'll stand out on our ramp and shoot pictures of his projects as they taxi by, then publish them on my blog. Hey...what can I say? I'm a journalist! Akradecki 15:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Also, if you have time, please take a look at Oblique wing. It was poorly written, and had a wikify tag on it, so I rewrote it as an outgrowth of my research on the AD-1, and expanded it quite a bit. I took a look a your other edits so far, and much appreciate the help! Akradecki 16:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Telford

Given your location, do you happen to know Telford Allen? Akradecki 17:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New project?

Do you have time for a new project? I know you're good with specs templates and user boxes...I'm starting a major revamping to the network of UAV pages, and could use your help to be the "box man". Akradecki 16:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Great! The first task will take a bit of work, though. It is the Ryan Model 147 Lightning Bug. There are a number of different variants with different specs. I'll leave it to you how you want to organize it. The Blue boxes at the bottom need to be replaced with better tables, too, if you feel up to it. The project page is at Talk:History of unmanned aerial vehicles where I'm keeping track of all the done and to-do items...feel free to update that. Akradecki 18:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Ryan Firebee is ready for ya, too. Akradecki 20:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Compass Cope could use your specs magic! Akradecki 21:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself! The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it! TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly! Signed...

[edit] UAV layout opinion sought

Hi...been a while. I would like to solicit your input in a layout question on the UAV page. Discussion is at Talk:Unmanned aerial vehicle. Thanks! Akradecki 04:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] award

		For your hard work and dedication to improving Wikipedia, I, Sharkface217, hereby award you this Original Barnstar. Good job! Sharkface217 20:04, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed...
