[edit] Your edit to AH-64 Apache

Wikipedia is not a collection of merely verifiable facts: facts in Wikipedia must also be notable. As such, very few aircraft appearances in media warrant a special mention. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Aircraft/page_content#Popular_culture for guidelines. Thank you for contributing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Denniss (talk • contribs) 12:12, May 10, 2006.

Orca1 9904 - welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you’re a relatively new editor and that this notice might seem a little intimidating. I see no problem with a future Wikipedia contributor getting their start by adding a few game links to an article, just like the see other section or the pop culture in many other Wikipedia articles; we all start someplace and that is an easy section to update. Remember (as much as I have read) that info referenced above isn't official sanctioned Wikipedia policy approved by Jimbo Wales or the Arbcom. I am not advising you to disrupt wiki but that your contributions are valued and that one mans cruft is another’s valued information. --Supercoop 12:43, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GoldenEye 007 rocket launcher

Hey, you changed Rocket launcher to RPG-7. Do you have any supporting information to back up this change? I ask because the RPG-7 looks nothing like the ingame launcher. Without a source supporting a parallel between the in-game launcher and the RPG-7, it should probably be left as the generic one. I'm going to leave a similar message on the article's talk page; please reply there. BigNate37_(T) 14:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your list IS worthwhile despite what some deletionists may say

The list (List_of_military_vehicles_in_films) you created is/was up for deletion. I want you to know there is a place for it: http://wikitistics.com . No one will be able to nominate it for deletion because it fits one simple rule: it's a statistic, list, or figure. Some people think these websites should encompass the same scope of a paper book- we don't. Apologies if this note is directed at the wrong person. Good luck with your endeavors!

[edit] M88A2 is not based on the Abrams

Here, the Army's own site says they're built on M88A1 hulls: [1] which you seem to agree is based on the Patton, and I know Australia recently bought both the Abrams and the M88A2 and required a different supply of spare parts for each because they are built on a different chassis.

Look at the M88A2 photo on the M1 wiki page, it's got no Abrams style exhaust and the wrong number of road wheels (which don't even have clear hubs - the M1 has clear plastic caps so the crew can check the lubricating oil level at a glance - they are large enough that they should appear dark in that photo, like the other photo taken at the same show further up the page) and uses different tracks. It really shouldn't even be listed on the Abrams page except possibly as a note indicating that the M1 doesn't have a recovery version and the M88A2 is used instead. But, if I'm wrong and I don't see how I could be, you should then go and change the M88 page to remove the A2 as a variant, so that wikipedia will at least be consistent. Either the M1 page needs to be changed or the M88, they can't both be right. Ways 23:56, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saving Private Ryan

Good Morning Orca and welcome to Wikipedia. We're trying to keep the Historical Inaccuracies section of the article to big stuff - like the 2nd Panzers not being in Normandy at the time shown in the movie - rather then trivia. We know there were a lot of minor filming goofs, but we're not trying to cover them here.--Lepeu1999 14:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glock 22

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Glock 22 page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- — xaosflux ^Talk 01:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Dr. Eggman's flying fortresses

An editor has nominated Dr. Eggman's flying fortresses, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr. Eggman's flying fortresses and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 13:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
