License tagging for Image:Sisu1A3view wiki.GIF[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Sisu1A3view wiki.GIF. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:10, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Gliding[edit]

Hey, thanks for signing-up. As you can see, the only thing on the to-do list right now is to upload photos to use on existing pages. I see you have been creating 3-view drawings, and that's great. Look through your photo archives for photos that can be used anywhere on wikipedia. For some ideas have a look at: Bald Eagle, Nittany Valley, Brush Mountain, Lee waves.

WikiProject Aviation proposal[edit]

There is currently a proposal to create an Aviation WikiProject, which would serve to clarify how all the aviation related projects relate, and help with interproject editing. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft#Proposal_Recap for how the projects hierarchy. Part of the reorganization proposes that WikiProject Gliding become a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Aircraft (or perhaps the Aviation Project itself). For an idea of how task forces work, take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history. They have a number of task forces, listed here. As described by them, "task forces are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the field of military history; all project members are encouraged to participate in any that interest them." The benefit of such a system it that the sub-topics have all the resources of the overall project at their disposal. For instance, the Military history project banner, is placed on every military history page, and the related task forces are listed at the bottom of it. All miltary history related articles are thereby joined under one roof. If you have any ideas or comments, please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 20:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Glider task force[edit]

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 18:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of HP Aircraft[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on HP Aircraft, by Vegaswikian (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because HP Aircraft seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting HP Aircraft, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate HP Aircraft itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 00:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of notable glider pilots[edit]

There is a proposal to delete the List of notable glider pilots. Please register your opinion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of notable glider pilots. I think it is an interesting list and useful when publicising the sport. JMcC 09:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gliders and Gliding[edit]

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)[reply]

AfD nomination of Arlington Aircraft Company[edit]

I have nominated Arlington Aircraft Company, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arlington Aircraft Company. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Standardising articles on gliders[edit]

There has been some discussion in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft about using the standard template for aircraft for articles on gliders. To understand what was expected, I asked one of the prime movers to change one of the existing articles into his preferred format. Please have a look at the changes to Schempp-Hirth Discus. Are the supposed benefits of consistency with other types of aircraft outweighed by the aethestics of having all key data in one table? Post you opinions to the WikiProject Aircraft Talk page. JMcC (talk) 00:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Schreders[edit]

Hi BoKu - since you've recreated these two articles, I've been able to reinstate some non-copyvio text to the HP-18 article. The copyvio material exists virtually unchanged throughout the rest of the history of the article; and the section on variants didn't make much sense without it, hence the G12.

The HP-14, on the other hand, has no free text at all in its edit history, so there's nothing to restore there. It was all taken verbatim from sailplane directory, and subsequent edits did nothing but change a few words around.

Thanks for replacing these so quickly! Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 09:24, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Thanks for your help! BoKu (talk) 14:56, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Response Requested[edit]

I plan to delete the "Name Change" section of the "Steve Fossett" talk page, as it is not relevant to improving the article. As that section contains a comment from you, I would like to know if you have any objection to such deletion. If so, please post your objection in that section of the article's talk page. I will presume silence as consent. Thank you. —Danorton (talk) 04:06, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting opportunity![edit]

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis ^contribs 23:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
