[edit] AH-1 Cobra

And we would have known all this how?? Please use edit summaries to explain what you are doing. Without them, there is no way to tell a good edit from a bad one, especially when it happens repeatedly. In addition, it would be helpful to know the sources that you've consulted, so that we can cite with certainty what countries should be there, and take out any future countries that may be added that should not be there. Thanks. - BillCJ 06:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

By all means. I don't want to come off as nasty, Bill I'm truly tying to help you with these changes. Please note that in the Office Egpytian airforce website [[1]] No AH-1 cobras are list in inventory as well for Argentina Amry web site [[2]] Chilian Army has No Mentions in the Site as well. There may have been talk of these acquisitions but no such ever purchase happened. I get alot of info Airforces Monthly, Aviation Week & Space Techology, Rotor & Wing& StrategyWorld.com I was a former CFI in helicopter out of Van Nuys Airport, CA.

Bill can you Point the way to the Edit Summary?

See Help:Edit summary. When you are editing a page, just below the main edit box, there is a box labeled "Edit summary". Add a brief description of your edit. In addition, if there is more information you feel should be added to explain your edits, you can use the article's talk page (the "discussion" tab at the top of the article. — ERcheck (talk) 12:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
BTW, if you review AH-1 Cobra talk page, you will see that there is a reference for the use of this aircraft by the various countries, including Chile.
I do not have access to this book, but the there it a discussion on the talk page, which is a good place to engage other editors who are also interested in this topic and on making sure that the information is accurate. — ERcheck (talk) 12:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
No problem, AN. ANd thanks, ER, for the help. I went to bed after posting my comments, and got up and found the answers! THanks again.
I have checked the source given for the onby a site that seems questionable to me. the Egyptian and CHiliean use seem more recent, but I haven't seen the primary sources myself. Hopefully we can get some interaction on the Cobra talk page, and get these sorted out soon. - BillCJ 15:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah unfortunetly AW&ST has an Inventory list that they recycled for about the last 5 years making only minor changes. I use several sources to confirm aircraft inventory. And the best is just the offical website of that countries arm forces, airforce etc.

[edit] My concern about your username (ANigg)

Hello, ANigg, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

Your name appears to be a derivative of a common racial term which is prohibited under Wikipedia's rules, regardless of the context.

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

  • If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
  • If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
  • If you decide to just go ahead and change your username, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under the new username: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism (WP:AIV), or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! -- Bullzeye 07:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC) Bold text

Yeah my first is Andrew last name is Nigg not to offend anyone but that is my true last name, hense ANIGG.

[edit] RFC discussion of your username (ANigg)

Hello, ANigg, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Wikipedia has a policy on what usernames editors can use. Unfortunately, concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with that policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it here. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- Bullzeye 15:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah my first is Andrew last name is Nigg not to offend anyone but that is my true last name, hense ANIGG.

Thanks for your comments here. It would be helpful if you would take a look at and add your comments to the current discussion — here — on your user name. While you clearly have no ill motives, the impression of others when seeing your username is the guiding policy. — ERcheck (talk) 19:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your name is okay

Hello, ANigg. While there had been some discussion here about whether your username met Wikipedia policy on what usernames editors can use, the result was to allow it, and that discussion has now been closed. If you would like to see what concerns were raised, you can still find that discussion in the archive (here). You do not need to change your username. However, if you ever wish to do so, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 19:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank youANigg 22:14, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response, Mr. Nigg. That was pretty much what I expected. Sorry for the bureaucracy, but you know how it goes. Wikipedia:Process_is_Important and all. Happy editing. Bullzeye 01:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
