I was performing a requested copyedit of this page, and noted that that the VAST majority of the text is a tranlated copyright infringement of http://www.fesfut.org.sv/historia.php . I flagged the article. jsfouche ☽☾ talk 03:47, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
I see this fellow has had a number of warnings on his talk page. Sheesh. His latest action was to remove the AFD tag from the article Bolo Na Tumi Amar currently under discussion at AFD. Considering the number of warnings he's received since October 10, might it now be time for a temp block of the IP? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:22, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Airplaneman! Back in September you gave the page Black operation semi-protection for a month because of repeated vandalism by IPs. Things were very quiet for that month, but now that the protection has expired it has started up again. The page is getting vandalized an average of about once a day. Maybe that isn't a lot by Wikipedia standards; I'm sure many pages are worse. And the page has enough "watchers" that things get reverted fairly quickly. But please take a look at it and see what you think. Thanks! -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:47, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Greetings! Can you move Flight nurse to Flight nursing? I tried, but there were a couple of old edits on Flight nursing. Those old edits are incorporated into the Flight nurse page. The rationale for the move is to maintain consistency with other nursing specialty articles which list the name of the specialty following by "nursing". I am working on articles over at the Wiki Nursing Project. Thanks!!! jsfouche ☽☾ talk 17:01, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Please be advised that since the protection on the Michael Welner page was removed, over 20 edits have been made by Mr.grantevans2, including adding a disproportionate section re: Omar Khadr, using unreliable sources and disseminating factually inaccurate content. Such an investment from Mr.grantevans2 is a subtle attempt to vandalize the page and strip it of its reliability as a source to the public – propaganda if you will. I appreciate your input on how to resolve this. Thank you. A few of the misrepresentations include: … "to testify at Omar Khadr's sentencing hearing in Guantanamo Bay. Welner testified he had spent eight hours examing Khadr, and 500-600 hours preparing his testimony." Erroneous. Dr. Welner testified that he had spent 500-600 hours researching this case, not 500-600 preparing his testimony "Welner called Khadr a 'Jihadi rock star'" No, Dr. Welner specifically quoted the Deputy Camp Commander as saying that the other detainees regarded him as a “rock star”. This is reflected in the trial transcript. …"and described the Qur’an as 'a criminal book that forces people to do criminal things.'" Dr. Welner specifically said that he did not regard the Quran as a criminal book and that if he had, he would not have recommended deradicalization. (The reference to the criminal book of the Quran is meant to create a threat and to inflame Muslims) "Welner called "political" Sennels assertion that Musims can not integrate into western societies." This misstates Dr. Welner’s testimony. He spoke quite openly about how Muslims integrate into New York, and further pointed out that Sennels assertion was substantively what German Chancellor Angela Merkel had stated.

The Son of Neptune currently has a AfD request and I ask members of this project to give their opinion here. Perseus! Talk to me 19:32, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello Airplaneman,
A few months ago, I added to a section of Bill Gates page entitled "Criticism". In it, I discussed what is a fairly common criticism of Bill Gates, that he often closely mimics other's software, and used a source for one of the criticisms. My comments were removed, and I'd like to ask what you feel would be the proper way to address the topic.
I certainly do not want to vandalize any page, and was not intending to do so. However, I feel I was not vandalizing. Bill Gates has many good attributes, such as his philanthropy and obvious intelligence and skill in the world of software. However, like any human, has negative attributes as well. It is important to understand and be able to discuss and even refute criticisms to be able to understand the more positive attributes.
As of now, there isn't any criticism section on Bill Gates page. Surely, some criticism section is warranted. I thought I was summarizing the common detractments in a civil manner, but I must have been mistaken. What would be the appropriate way of making my remarks so that I'm not seen as vandalizing his page, but still mentioning criticisms that are often mentioned when he is discussed?
Thank you.

At a glance, Sylvania 300 needs work, especially with the prose, but it looks like a solid article. As for the pic, I don't think it's near VP or FP quality. Although I'm no expert, there are many things about the picture I could nitpick about, including the positioning of the main subjects (car and pit crew), which are a bit to the right instead of center. I don't want to say more lest I epicly fail and give wrong tips. That doesn't mean it's a bad picture; it's pretty good actually. I just don't think it's a VP or FP. You can always nominate it and see what others have to say. Airplaneman ✈ 01:25, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
My T. Michael Riddle page was deleted and the reason seemed to be because you believed it was for advertising purposes. I assure you the page was meant to be educational, informing people and sharing knowledge about who he is. You have a similar page for Ronnie Montrose at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Montrose that was not deleted. My page was written in a similar way, but it would help if you sent a message asking about concerns you may have before deleting a page to see if they might be clarified.
I would like my page to be restored and am willing to discuss any concerns you might have had with it. The deletion would have had to occur between Friday and today (Monday, Nov. 15), if that helps. If there was something specific about the page that need be taken out, I am willing to revise and reword what I need to but I rather not go through having to recreate the whole page.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Holly

a couple of files of not-working Vector skin issues have no descriptions. I really don't have any use for them anymore, so I thought maybe you could delete them. But also, I would like to know, since they are linked to in the Bug report page, is it necessary to keep it and add a description? (Not expecting a "quick" reply).

hi airplaneman, i was just wondering out of curiosity why you deleted sayWHAT?'s page. I believe the information on the page was legit, however it was not complete due to the status of the band at the moment. Just an explanation would be great, thanks.

Hi Airplaneman,
You deleted a page that I created earlier on tonight (its title is in the subject).
"A7: Article about a web site, blog, web forum, webcomic, podcast, browser game, or similar web content, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject"
I don't understand, the reason for deletion is about the importance of the subject, however, while that may be the case, the page bears no relation to any of those categories mentioned above. The closest is browser game, as it is a game, just not a browser game.
Also, any other tips you may have as to why a "Speedy Deletion" was prompted, I will endeavor to try again bearing those in mind - it would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
DECEiFER (

Hi DECEiFER; I interpreted the A7 request as no indication of notability for web content in general; Perseus linked
WP:A7 above, which explains the rationale in more detail. Indeed, the summary was potentially misleading. Mainly, the nominator did not see how this page passed
WP:A7, and I concurred. The subject also does not seem to pass
our website/internet content notability guidelines. I know this bunch of policies just spit at you is a bit much, but since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, these policies help it keep a reasonable size and quality (articles with less
notability generally have less things about them, leading to rather short articles - ideally, there should be substantial
verifiable content within the article). I know creating Wikipedia pages take some time and the last thing I want to do is delete your work, therefore wasting your donated time, but I hope this explains why I did. If you have further questions, just ask. Regards,
Airplaneman

Hi,
Thank you for restoring the article to my user space. I will work on it over the coming weeks, and I do feel that if other articles of similar purpose can become published (eg. Multi Theft Auto), then this article can also make the cut with work put in to bettering the article, and with some time for the entity it represents to evolve a little.
Thank you for your help, again.

Hello,
I have just created a wikipedia page about Rita Davidson, I am a concert accordionist, National Editor of www.accordionusa.com and recently gave concerts and created an important website in memory of my music teacher, Eugene Ettore, an important composer for the accordion.
Please refer to www.accordionusa.com and you will see that I am the editor of the site.
Click on "Eugene Ettore" to see his website.
I also would like to create a wikipedia page about Eugene Ettore. Many accordionists and musicians around the world are interested in him. I would also like to create a page for him.
I just created an account this evening. This is all new to me and I appreciate your suggestions, corrections, etc. Thank you, Rita
Rita Davidson ( talk) 04:18, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello Rita, nice to meet you. WikiCopter gives good suggestions. I am really sorry to say this, but I am not sure that the two subjects you mentioned above meet our notability standards for musicians. I think that's why a page on you was tagged for deletion before (it's nothing personal, I promise). If you can find significant coverage from multiple reliable third party sources that verify that these two individuals pass the notability guideline, a good way to go about making these articles would be to create subpages in your userspace where you can draft them and get feedback before publishing. I would be more than happy to help, although I'm on a sort of semi-break and may not be available consistently. Another good place to seek feedback is Wikipedia:Requests for feedback. Here are links if you would like to create drafts:
If you haven't already, Wikipedia:Your first article would also be a good thing to read. I know this is a ton of stuff to process. When I first came here, I created two articles (worse than yours, mind you) that were deleted. I certainly didn't read any of these pages; instead, I learned by doing, making lots of mistakes along the way. So dig in, and I'll be on standby, as will many others. Happy editing, Airplaneman ✈ 06:19, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello! I just posted this article on my subpage with the same name ("Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA)").

OK, some nit-picking: What is a model law? (add a link or define it). Otherwise, it looks good, and I will publish it. It's well-written and I enjoyed reading it :). It taught me something as well! Airplaneman ✈ 06:37, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month –
Auto Club Speedway, a recent good article
Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway) is a two-mile (3 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in Fontana, California which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. The track was also used for open wheel racing events until 2005. The racetrack is located near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation and is the only track owned by ISC to have naming rights sold. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch.Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway has a grandstand capacity of 91,200 and 28 skyboxes. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. In 2011 the track will host only one NASCAR weekend.

That was fast - we had an edit conflict on the editor's talk page while I was adding the speedy warning and welcome template! Thanks. PamD ( talk) 08:50, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
A quick question, probably trivial, but it will save me digging around when I come back to it. I notice you moved Eritreum melakeghebrekristosi, and that you needed to delete the target. I assume this means there was more than one edit in the history, has that been restored or were the edits trivial? cygnis insignis 11:14, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Airplaneman,
Thanks for the welcome on the Nastel article. I am responding to your comment about appropriate license for the image I placed in the company box. I wasn't sure what license to specify. The image is owned by Nastel Technologies. It was created by their art department. I am an employee of Nastel Technologies and have full permission to place this image in the article. What license type should I specify? Thanks for your help.
