[edit] Halberstadt CL.IV

Hi Scoop100 - I just noted this addition by you and your interest in WWI types. There are a few other Halberstadt aircraft on the list of missing aircraft (and lots of other WWI types too for that matter!). Maybe you'd like to help filling in some of the gaps? Cheers --Rlandmann 21:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing aircraft

Hi again - sorry about that - I didn't mean to just revert you without comment - I was about to drop you a note, but dinner beckoned! I mainly added them back for (as you deduced) a reminder that these aircraft really aren't properly covered; the Nieuports in particular are a real shame to see all lumped together like that... When I reverted, I hadn't actually noticed that you'd already created the redirects. If someone else comes along and removes them from the list, it's OK - I've got the original master list which I'm checking to look for stubs to expand (etc). Thanks for taking an interest! The more people we have working on this, the sooner it will get done, obviously, and I think that Wikipedia is on the brink of becoming the most comprehensive encyclopedia of aircraft ever published in English. :) --Rlandmann 10:17, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WWI Aviation

Hello. Nice to see there are other people interested in this topic. I will try to work on some German pilots and later also on the aircrafts. At the moment my referencing library is not yet expanded enough to deal with any aircrafts other than the D VII. Maybe we can cooperate at some point. Best regards --Panth 20:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi.Thanks for your note. I will at first also try to improve some of the existing german aces pages. I do also own some primary sources in german language and try to find more at reasonable cost at the moment as well as secondary literature mostly in english. If you need translations feel free to ask me

I am also able to read this old german Fraktur font. If you have questions on photos i would advise to visit aerodrome forum if you are not already active there. www.theaerodrome.com/forum --Panth 11:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello Scoop. German Copyright protects Photos until 70 years after the death of the author. This makes it easier in our case. When we use photos of 1914-1918 we can be almost sure that author in most of the cases is passed away. Since of many photos we will not know who was the Author or when he died.

Nevertheless there was a case in Germany in 2004 where a woman was sued because she wanted to use a photo of a submarine photo taken in WWII and the lawcourt decided it is still under protection although the regular copyright duration was expired but it was still under copyright under Italian law. And since a new European Union law act it was still protected. But im pretty sure if we ask the webmaster or an admin at aerodrome they will allow us to use or tell us where to ask. Best Regards --Panth 20:48, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello Scoop thats nice to hear. I will try to add some more to the Rudolph Berthold page where i inserted a box. Yesterday i received my Jagdgeschwader Nr II - Geschwader Berthold in the mailbox. Its from Osprey and authored by Greg VanWyngarden. He is also active in the aerodrome forums like some other renowned book authors on wwi aviation. --Panth 12:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Scoop. Was very busy the last weeks. My cousin from Switzerland was visiting. I read a lot material about Ernst Udet in that time. Will have a check of that page. I saw various gaps, and opportunities to improvement at first glance. Also will have a look on the Berthold page again since im finished reading the Osprey book. After that i will take a look on the shifted aces page and see what i can add :) PS: You have any material on 57th squadron? im currently collecting some literature about it due to a research project. regards --Panth 10:35, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canadair Sabre

Copyedit for my "talk" page: Hi Bzuk. Thanks for sorting out the mess - what'd I do? - I couldn't seem to sort it out, even though I seemed to have lost half the article. Novices, eh? Scoop100 15:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Scoop; no problem. Simple edit error: Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;

refs with no content must have a name instead of </ref> the former means nothing added after the "mark". (You will have to read the edit to actually see what the error was in the text.) FWIW |:¬) Bzuk 15:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Contribution

Hello. I am currently trying to contribute to a battle in respect to giving a reason why a Viking force had to withdraw from a native attack, which I think was instrumental to the article itself and since the person in question received her place in history for that act. Its my understanding that Wikipedia is meant for contributions, but the people at that region see fit to leave the situation vague. They have told me that I cannot simply copy and past from references and, in short order, I re-wrote the small addition in my own words. I don't see what the problem here is, however, they simply revert my edits and give me vague conclusion to why they have done so. The site is intended to be used for non-commercial reproduction so we have no problems in copyright infringement. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. InternetHero 23:04, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merry Christmas

Hi scoop, Merry Christmas to you. I thought i take a look at the aces list after a long time. Not much seemed to have changed. I just edited umlauts for the german names and erased a link in the table, it had messed up the sort by name function. Check for the discussion on the talk please. Cheers --Panth (talk) 19:56, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I didnt do much either, but i started now to build up an article about Eduard Ritter von Schleich since i read his bio lately. My book shelve is also constantly growing but time for reading isnt :) His father Eduard Schleich "the older" was a known painter maybe i add that also in this context. --Panth (talk) 23:54, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] War of 1812 articles

I notice that you have applied the {{citations missing}} tag to just about every article on the actions of the War of 1812. You may well be correct, but wouldn't it be nicer to actually do some work to improve the articles, or perhaps put some recommendations in the talk sections of the articles, rather than publicly denigrating the efforts of the contributors? HLGallon (talk) 17:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Please accept my apologies for the above remarks. I was evidently confusing you with some other poster. You are quite correct; most of the articles do lack citations. I may take a break from editing War of 1812 articles. There are two flag-waving posters in particular who are making it difficult to do and are consistently causing my sense of humour and proportion to fail. HLGallon (talk) 18:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No footnotes

There is really no point in adding this large and ugly template to these older artist biographies, which are mostly entirely from the 1911 EB anyway. Johnbod (talk) 19:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I'm not saying the tag is wrong, but there are 100s of artist biographies like that, as virtually all those in a position to add refs know, & it is not likely to produce action by itself. And it is rather large. Johnbod (talk) 20:54, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
No problem. PS I notice you don't use edit summaries; these are a good thing. Johnbod (talk) 02:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
