[edit] Blohm & Voss BV 142

I've had a quick look at the article and its pretty much perfect. I speak german too and the translation looks quite good. There's always a need for people willing to translate articles; in fact there is a page with a list of requests: Wikipedia:Translation into English. It's certainly much better than most people's first articles, mine included! There were one or two minor changes that needed to be made to the format - there's no need to make a link for section headings, for example - but these were all very small.

In answer to your questions:

1. To create a link to an article in another language, add the country code and the article name in this format: [[country code:article name]] - for example [[de:Blohm & Voss BV 142]] . Put that at the bottom of the page.

2. Image uploading is quite complex, but a guide can be found here. This page deals more specifically with the 'copyright tags'.

The other important thing that you should note is that comments on talk pages should be signed. This can be done using four 'tides' like this - ~~~~ .

I'm surprised at how good the article was, to be honest, if this is your first time using a Wikipedia then you've picked up the basics extremely quickly! Robdurbar 21:25, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the last section of the page too. In general, content shouldn't really be in two articles at once. It's not really a big problem, but avoids too much repition. A 'see also' section is usually put at the end to direct users to related pages. Robdurbar 21:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] F.222

You are correct, the vast majority of websites on the Internet operate either under Fair Use or flagrant copyright violations. Putting a "copyright" noticed at the bottom of the webpage does not give one ownership of an image. - Emt147 Burninate! 05:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Glider task force

You may be interested to know there is a new joint task force between WikiProjects Aircraft and Gliding covering gliders. Please join us by adding your name at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Gliding/Glider task force. Dhaluza 18:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image requests

Hi Diego - I notice that you seem to have a lot of photos from the Museo del Aire. I wonder whether you have a picture (or could take one) of the Aerotécnica AC-12 and Aerotécnica AC-14 helicopters there? Cheers --Rlandmann 01:05, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your offer to help! The only other aircraft there that I know that we need soon is the CASA C.207 parked outside. --Rlandmann 01:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for getting these pictures! I haven't started work on the C.207 article yet, so please feel free to create one if you like. --Rlandmann 23:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for the AC-12 - because these articles are so short, I will probably trim down the photos when I get time. Also - did you actually do the drawings of these two aircraft yourself? If not, we can't use them under the GFDL.... Cheers --Rlandmann 00:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A mystery

Hi again Diego - I wonder if you or the Museum have any information on the CASA C-112? (Different, of course, from the C-212!!!) This was a side-by-side primary trainer in development at some time (definitely before the 1980s). I think the project must have been abandoned, because I can find no trace of it now. If you can find out anything, I'd love to hear about it! --Rlandmann 02:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Wonderful speedy work on the outlines of the helicopters! Amazing! Thanks for offering to check out my mystery - there is no hurry - just whenever you have the opportunity. And no, it's not the Ha.1112 unfortunately. All I know is that it was a basic trainer and that the student and instructor sat side-by-side --Rlandmann 04:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gliders and Gliding

In an effort to streamline the subprojects of aviation, and given the fact that the Glider task force has four members and a total of 51 articles tagged under its scope and the Gliding project has 7 and 56, I'd like to mere the Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Glider task force and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Gliding into one project, Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Gliding task force. Any objections? - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 19:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
