[edit] Bullying from User:Braaad

Hello,

If Braaad continues to try to push you around, please let me know on my user talk page. I do not care if he (or she) is correct, because I want what is correct to be placed in the article. However, he or she has absolutely no right to try to tell you to keep your comments to yourself. I will watch Braaad to make sure that he or she doesn't continue to make personal attacks.

Regards, Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 19:51, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Looks like he's continuing with his personal crusade. I'll keep an eye on him for a while, because I'm afraid that he's going to get himself in trouble. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 01:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

McNeight, may I ask how you know User:braaad is the same as User:68.112.201.90? Grant 23:14, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I agree that User:braaad is the same as User:68.112.201.90, now what does it matter if his comments are signed by his IP or his username? Seems to me that his IP is fairly stable so we are able to identify what user it is. Grant 23:21, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I believe what you said on my talk page doesn't assume good faith. If User:68.112.201.90 gets a temporary ban for violating the 3RR and then uses User:braaad to continue to make edits, I have no problem with banning User:braaad right away. However, if User:braaad doesn't continue to revert the page, especially if he doesn't make any edits to Talk:Civil Air Patrol, then there is no reason to ban User:braaad. I think that assuming he will use the accounts as sock puppets fails to assume good faith, and you should know better than that. Furthermore, you should not ban User:68.112.201.90, get another admin to do it for you, you are too involved in this fight. Grant 23:31, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Looks like User:Nlu took care of it. Grant 23:33, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] December 2005

Please do not keep undoing other people's edits without discussing them first. This is considered impolite and unproductive. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Not that I am unsympathetic to your situation since the behavior of the IP is unacceptable, but this isn't simple vandalism, and therefore you really don't want to put yourself in trouble as well. --Nlu 01:09, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] piper cub series box

Just wanted to let you know that I've converted it from a table and cleaned it up a bit regarding layout. Hope you're fine with it - I think this way it has more similarity to the default style, but still stands out and emphasizes the diversity of the series.

Roadmap looks good, although I'd suggest concentrating on a single list article for the minor models (the various Taylor and Piper -2 versions) and full articles for the more prominent variants. Also, watch out for the military designations - they need to be more specific than HE, which is a disambiguation page. Good work, see you around. ericg ✈ 00:52, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm ambivalent about the page move, although it seems like a fine idea. By 'single F-2', though, do you mean only one was built, and that the only difference was the engine? If that's the case, it doesn't deserve a standalone article.
Regarding the size of the box - you could resize the box, sure (just add width: (x)px; to the style="" section), but if you're going to include it in the designation sequence portion of the related content footer, I think it should remain left-aligned. ericg ✈ 01:11, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Braaad person

Hi McNeight,

Although it was kind of funny, I don't think the tool thing would be exactly helpful to making him stop. I'm considering opening an RFC regarding him, so I was wondering if you would be willing to help me out. Thanks, Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 21:01, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Alright, RFC time. Can we meet on IRC? Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 21:14, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Cool. Server is irc.freenode.net and channel is #wikipedia when you get the chance. Linuxbeak is my nickname, blah blah. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 21:19, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I think that assuming he will use the accounts as sock puppets fails to assume good faith, and you should know better than that. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Braaad (talk • contribs) 15:55, 12 December 2005 (UTC) AGAIN--the COMMENT was made by Grant

McNeight, would it be possible for you not to post on User_talk:68.112.201.90 anymore? I realized you haven't posted there that much, but I'm trying to seperate all parties involved. I think he has agreed to stop removing the signatures with his IP from the CAP talk archives. If we leave him alone he will leave us alone at this point. Grant 17:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm willing to help you with an RfC for User:Braaad. He continued to attack you after he had agreed to leave you alone. I will admit he has stuck to the letter of his agreement, not posting on your talk page, but his attacks of you on his talk pages since then are uncalled for. I don't know how to start to take administrative action against him on Wikipedia, do you have any guideline articles saying what we need to do? Grant 22:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:Braaad RfC

I made some edits to the RfC, I added a ton of supporting links to show what he was doing. And I signed it of course. Grant 08:25, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

In response to your request to add my input on this issue, I would say that since my involvement was minor, I won't weigh in until others have. BTW, I was a CAP cadet (Mitchell and Earhart) back in the early 1970's. --rogerd 17:40, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism watch

You just dropped a vandalism template at User talk:156.63.253.3. I've never seen that template before. Could you drop me a link to it? Thanks. Rossami (talk) 19:40, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your input on AfD is requested

I have entered an AfD for the article Chair force. I feel this is an inherently POV article that is degrading to the United States Air Force and besides, there is already an entry in military slang for this topic. I would appreciate it if you would review the article, other comments and if you are so disposed, please add your opinion/comment. Thanks. --rogerd 19:35, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] removal of B787 technical analysis

What did you remove my link Mr McNeight? Aircraft projects under development are analysed by professionals all over the world, not simply accepted as gospel from the manufacturer's quotes. This analysis uses the best commercial tool available. Please restore the link to the piano.aero analysis of the Boeing 787 unless you can explain why it is not relevant. Thanks. - Dimitri —the preceding unsigned comment is by 80.176.143.5 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No skin off my should

Ok, no roughness. Is ok. Sorry from me to you if offenses were made. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Paeris (talk • contribs) 00:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lighten up!

Dude! Grab a beer, a deck chair and chill! I am trying to be helpful, I am NOT vandalizing. My edits have been to help clear up why we should care about high traffic, nothing more. The template is unclear and needed some work. So what exactly is your problem? —the preceding unsigned comment is by 128.42.7.170 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Is that better? —the preceding unsigned comment is by 128.42.7.170 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Editing runway template

Go ahead and edit the template as you see fit. I don't have much time for Wikipedia these days. Cheers. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 23:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] designation series cheat sheet

If you've got more (either for Boeing or other manufacturers) then feel free to add them. Once the list gets to a reasonable collection, I'm going to move it into the WP:Air content section and give it a little more prominence, so the more we can get the better. ericg ✈ 06:17, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] References

Hi there,

Thanks for the note. I've mostly been using the U.S. Air Force Museum site for references, along with the "Brown-shoe Navy" page, and the Squadron-Signal "In Action" books (among others). Aerobird 02:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 367-80

I laughed aloud at the edit summary. I did not know! ericg ✈ 03:06, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm - about the Sonic Cruiser being the 2717, is there any background for that? Or has it simply become an accepted colloquial '7-number' for the concept? ericg ✈ 03:08, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cessna 152

Howdy! In regards to your drive-by tagging of Cessna 152, could you take a moment on the talk page to describe what you feel is missing? Thanks! - CHAIRBOY (☎) 03:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Airport codes

Thanks. I always have problems making changes like that, like in Template:Casino infobox. Many airports also don't have an IATA code, so that entry needs the same type of change. Vegaswikian 20:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:US-airport

Regarding your changes removing the K, I think you should be using Template:US-airport2 for one that either don't have an ICAO code or begin with P or something. It's not a perfect system but it works. Dbchip 22:00, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, saw your reply in my talk. Definitely I was confused, but either way if you look at my comment above; you can leave US-airport-ga the same and just use US-airport2 where the K doesn't apply and supply the full airport code in that template. Dbchip 22:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aeronca Corporation edit

If you looked closely at the actual pages rather than the diff, you would have noticed that the removed lines of code do nothing, as they have been depreciated by recent edits to the template. 24.220.82.9 18:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what he's smoking, but you may be interested in the comments on this "article" left on my talk page. —Wrathchild (talk) 20:42, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, McNeight. If you're interested in having this redirect deleted, putting a speedy tag on it isn't the way to do it. It doesn't meet any of the criteria for speedy deletion for redirects. You'll have to nominate it to Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion. Hope this helps. —Cleared as filed. 04:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yet Another Attack From User:Braaad

Troll warning This discussion page may contain comments better considered as trolling, posted in order to prompt irate replies that can then be even further ridiculed, in turn. Before you post any reply, consider how you might minimize the effects of trollish comments. Simply ignoring certain comments may be the best option.

Example of McNeight's 'trolling' is shocking:

Wikipedia is a community. The focus is not on you or me, but the encyclopedia. Create as many user names as you want, but eventually your "personality" will come through. If you can't or won't interact with people in a normal manner (hint: take a look at meta:Don't be a dick and Wikipedia:Civility for some tips on human-human interaction), then get the fuck out. McNeight 00:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC) SIGNED! Because I'm not a bitter and petty authority-wannabe attention-freak coward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Braaad (talk • contribs) 16:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SVG vs. PNG

I am vaguely aware of the debate about svg images vs. png images, although my technical skills are not really sufficient to have much of an opinion either way. However, I'm not sure that the image copyright template is the best place for such a note, and I'm certain that I cannot add one without a bit more evidence for a consensus on Wikipedia. Have you tried putting a note at Wikipedia talk:Image use policy? Sorry I can't be of any more immediate help, but it's not really my field. Physchim62 (talk) 17:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Civility with Uncivil Users

Please reread WP:CIVIL and other Wikipedia policies on the importance of being civil to uncivil users. User:Braaad posted an unsigned message to a Wikipedia talk page saying that your threats are scaring him. In looking at the details, I could see a long pattern of uncivil behavior by Braaad, and no evidence of incivility or threats by User:McNeight. I endorsed the RfC that you and User:Linuxbeak wrote against Braaad. I posted a query on Braaad's talk page asking what he meant. He did provide me with a response. You told him that if he couldn't try to understand Wikipedia policies, he should "get the fuck out". That was uncivil. Please keep cool when others are uncool.

If he does not change his behavior, it is unfortunate but likely that he will be taken to the ArbCom. If that happens, Braaad may be banned, and you may be given a warning about incivility.

Enough. Robert McClenon 19:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Why don't you ask Linuxbeak to block him, or post a request on WP:ANI or WP:PAIN? Robert McClenon 20:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree that there needs to be a faster way to deal with disruptive users. If you want me to act as your Advocate, I will write an RfAr against him, but I have another RfAr to write against another disruptive editor first. Robert McClenon 20:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{PD-because}}

Done. I also unprotected the page because it's not widely used and there's no history of vandalism, so protection seems to be more of a hindrance than a help in this instance. Cheers, JYolkowski // talk 21:59, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Braaad

I have blocked User:Braaad indefinitely. Let me know if he returns and continues the same behavior using a new account. —Guanaco 21:46, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Sonic Cruiser Model Number

That's kind of what I was thinking - thanks for the update. I was browsing boeing.com's feature on the Sonic Cruiser the other day and didn't note any product numbers whatsoever. ericg ✈ 06:58, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[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! 18:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop removing things from pages!

As well I do not appreciate your coming to a page I set up and telling me to remove a link to a flying organization in a specific country.

Then you told me that I needed to link it to a page in one country, when there is no page on that forum.

Funny thing is that you seem biased against one country but not against the others listed.

[edit] hey, thanks

...for the comment about UDF technology on my site. Basically what I know about it I've managed to scrounge up from assorted NASA pages and the occasional 'what if' article, so it's good to get some more info. Is there much current work being done on it in the US? I know one of those Boeing concepts the Times wrote about a while back seemed to use it, but that's the first I've seen in years. ericg ✈ 15:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi McNeight, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|McNeight]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086Talk | Contribs 04:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] McNeight is not all knowing

McNeight,

Be mature. Just because I'm an anonymous user doesn't make my corrections false. Maybe I don't want to register at yet another website. You have a lot of nerve to believe that you're all knowing. I'm trying to get the most accurate information out to the public; don't trash this by your lack of knowledge. DO NOT add that STARBASE is an acronym. It isn't. Again, as a CO-FOUNDER I should know. I don't say this from ego. I say this as one who has worked very hard over the years developing this program into the best that it can be. Feel free to visit me at STARBASE. If you have many hours to spare, I can give you the full history.


So--you think McKneight is not mature? Interesting. I agree. Captain

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:ScC129.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ScC129.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ARES Color Logo.svg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ARES Color Logo.svg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs(st47) 23:12, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
