Saw your edits to the Heather Mills article and I thought you might be interested in this post at my talk page. I'm sure you'll get the idea once you read it. Dismas|^(talk) 22:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another airline article nominated for deletion

Hello. Based on your recent comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alaska Seaplane Service, I thought you might be interested in looking at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alsek Air Service. -- Zyxw (talk) 15:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Austin Aero

Like the idea of a separate article on Austin Aero, found out that the Whippet and Kestrel were built by the Austin Motor Company Limited, Northfield Works, Birmingham which already has an article at Austin Motor Company. I presume that Austin Aero was a later company to build engines and aircraft (possibly as a shadow factory) during the second world war. Need to find out a bit more.

Vandalizing /1/

I beg your pardon? I do not and never had vandalised any articles. Kindly indicate which edit you consider to be errant. 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 01:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

here 45Factoid44 (talk) 01:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's me reverting your edit 45Factoid44 (talk) 01:10, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the village was right and concurred with the rest of the article as Crofton and you changed it to Coston. It could have been a mistake and if I'm saying this defaces any good edits that you've ever made. Thanks and have a great night. 45Factoid44 (talk) 01:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

READ THIS earlier in the article "The Old English postalveolar consonant for “S” was always written as “ ʃ “ and at some stage in the last two hundred years has been misread by later scribes as an “F” thus turning Coston into the present day Cofton.

I had just reread the source material and realised I had spelled it incorrectly as "Cofton"....the old history book had spelled it COSTON and I was correcting my own entry. Kindly keep out of articles you know nothing about and save you "welcome to wikipedia" comments for new editors. I am a member of three wiki projects and have completed nearly 7,000 edits....I think I know what I am doing thank you 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 01:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is perfect...including you. If you had done an edit summary like an experienced editor should then you wouldn't have this problem to begin with ;-) 45Factoid44 (talk) 01:55, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just getting tired, it is 3am and I have been glued to the laptop for twelve hours. Getting sloppy. I am off to bed, tomorrow is another day....but even so, if you shoot from the hip like that with vandalism accusations, methinks you will be on the receiving end of some very snotty responses....you might like to review which template you use with long service editors...just a thought 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 02:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. P.S.: Length of time editing Wikipedia does not place you above the fundamental rules and warnings that everyone else is subject to. Just keep that in mind. 45Factoid44 (talk) 05:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SSP case

"Oh no Bazonka, that is not true. There have been several occasions where he has alternated between logged in and non logged posts in the space of several minutes. His anonymous IPs have made statements in support of his logged in identity trying to imply that they are from other people. It was done deliberately and he has done it many times in several locations. However, I think it is beginning to dawn on him that the anonymous IPs are not as untraceable as he first assumed...hence the sudden rush of apologies 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 16:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)" —From Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Max Mux

Hi, 21stCenturyGreenstuff. Would you mind providing me the diffs showing the IPs saying such things? All I have found are reversions with no edit summaries. Thanks! SunDragon34 (talk) 03:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Condover

Nice article, just a few points it mentions navigator training, I dont think the Advanced Flying Units trained navigators, it may have taught navigation to pilots thou. It mentions that the airfield was home to Spitfires, Hurricanes, Stirlings and Lancasters. Cant find any reference of the airfield being used apart from as a Relief Landing Ground for the AFUs. Was there a source for that? Keep up the good work. MilborneOne (talk) 19:48, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Several internet entries mentioned navigation training and also references to both single seaters and heavies being instructed in navigation...The memory from an ex-WAAF officer halfway down the article also refers to navigation training. It would appear that, apart from Oxfords and Harvards, the station was probably not 'home' to anything...but these types certainly staged through and possibly overnighted from time to time...I will amend the 'home to' wording. Most of the other sector stations in the vicinity, Shawbury Ternhill Atcham etc, were specifically fighter stations for defence of the Midlands manufacturing bases... yet Condover had a thundering great east west runway installed...so someone must have anticipated multi-engine use at some stage 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 20:04, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, good points, looks like it was a much underused place. Although they were worried that facilities in east and south east england may have become unusuable, probably just a bit of insurance. MilborneOne (talk) 20:45, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
