[edit] RB545

Hi Burbank.

I noticed you've edited the article, removing the mention that RB545 was a LACE or Liquid Air Cycle Engine-like engine.

It's not easy to get any info on this engine, AFAIK it's still covered by the official secrets act, but it doesn't appear to have been a turbojet, more like a ramjet with a precooler by the looks of it.

Also, I think it actually liquified the air; there's some vague references to it in the Skylon literature; something like 'Unlike earlier engines SABRE avoids liquifying the air'.WolfKeeper 19:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Fanchic.gif

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Fanchic.gif. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cohesion★talk 22:41, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging

Greetings. From the description and use of Image:TSdiagram.gif, it appears you intended this media to be freely available. I took the liberty of applying a {{GFDL-presumed}} tag. Could you confirm this at by replacing my edit with {{GFDL-self}}? Regards, Dethomas 02:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Is there a reason you sent this article to AfD but didn't complete the process and add your "first deletion reason" explaining why you're nominating it? Akradecki 20:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jet engine performance

Hi! Am I correct in making the educated guess that you're a co-creator of jet engine performance? It's a tremendous article, both in size and regarding information quality, but it needs dire attention to be elevated in terms of Wikipedia standards. I was wondering if we could undertake the project of converting images to SVGs, creating sub-articles for elaboration (and with that shorten the article down) and supply the article with references. Your wealth of knowledge must stem from written works, so this shouldn't be impossible.

All in all, right now the article is more of a manufacturer's notebook than a Wikipedia article, and I see the potential in it to integrate (but not merge, oh no) with Jet Engine. That article also suffers from being too long, but is otherwise not comparable to J.E.P. Do you have thoughts on the matter? I'll be dropping this note on the talkpages of some other names I saw on that history-page for J.E.P., hopefully the engineers can collaborate and help produce a more wiki-like article. :)
