Hello Airplaneman, This was my first article, and I spent a lot of time learning how to enter the information and resources, and I felt proud that I was able to create the article. I am sorry that my article on Florian Hutter was deleted. I am having trouble understanding all of the guidelines and I think I need some help. Was my article totally wrong, or was there anything I could have done to edit the article and prevent deletion? Any guidance that you could provide to me would me of great help. ~ ~ ~ ~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkBruno ( talk • contribs) 22:44, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Mark. I apologize for not responding more quickly. I will certainly email you a copy; in addition, you can find the article at User:MarkBruno/Florian Hutter. I find that spitting out a bunch of policies in your face while trying to advise you on how to write the best article possible and help it survive is both tedious for me and overwhelming for someone new to this site. Therefore, I will userfy it for you and we can improve it together. I'll try to point you in the right direction while helping you edit the article and answer your questions. I'm busy in real life and actually a bit stressed too, so Wikipedia isn't my priority right now (nor is it ever :p – I just have more time for this place sometimes than other times); however, I'll try to respond in a timely manner. Happy editing, Airplaneman ✈ 21:35, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
OK, Thanks! No apology necessary! and - thanks for userfying the page and thanks for the email!

I would like to make some changes to the Wikipedia article on the drug Naltrexone. I feel these changes are necessary because Naltrexone, which was formerly for the management of alcohol dependency alone, has now been approved for the treatment of opiate addiction. So I would like to add a full section on its new, broader uses in addition to some other minor changes. However, I am unable to edit the article text. The article does not seem to be protected so I'm puzzled. I'm guessing there's something that I'm not aware of. Can you please advise me on how I should proceed? If you would like to see my proposed changes, just let me know. Thanks! Michael Leeman ( talk) 14:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm having a problem with yet another template. ( Template:Infobox NASCAR race) The image part is showing up like it is there, when theres not an image. (Review: Atlanta 500) Do you know how to fix this? -- Nascar 1996 21:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
My old username is User:Mìthrandir. I just realized that I cannot login because I don't know how to make a special character in internet explorer with a dell. I used to edit with a mac... Do you know how to do special characters in the login screen?

Morning Airplaneman.
I must apologise. I did not realise when starting a new topic to write about that I had saved it to go live. In my haste to log off my pc I thought I had saved the work so I could come back to it later not actually posted it up.
Am I free to start the same topic again? Thank you, TWBPL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twbpl ( talk • contribs) 08:17, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Thank you very much, Airplaneman! I emailed DESiegel as you suggested but no response at all as yet. Could you please help me finish my page instead? And if not could you suggest someone to help me, please? Thanks a lot for your help Magiko ( talk) 16:10, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
UPDATE: Dear Airplaneman, DESiegel has contacted me and is willing to help. Thank you very much for providing me with his email address - it made all the difference. Thanks a lot and very best wishes to you! Magiko ( talk) 12:00, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I am a graduate student in Michigan State University and a beginner in editing Wikipedia. Though my major is public policy in telecommunication, I would appreciate it if you can be my mentor because you have much experience on wiki editing and broad interests on academic area. -- Tomozojisan ( talk) 20:51, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (
submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for
Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (
submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for
Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (
submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (
explanation), claiming for
Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hello Airplaneman!
I was wondering if you would be willing to be my online mentor? I am having many difficulties right now and would greatly appreciate your help. I am part of the new Public policy initiative. I am a Public Relations major at Simmons College. Let me know if you think you can help me out! Thanks Julietabulie ( talk) 00:07, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Get going! The February 2011 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive has begun. Please get started, as the drive aims to wikify over 2,000 articles this month. We're going to need all the firepower we can get, so please remind your friends to join up as well. In case you didn't know, wikification is fairly simple: just add wiki markup, links, and similar formatting. Thanks for joining; we're looking forward to an exciting time this month!

I'm not sure why this is being continuously relisted. I see no serious delete votes, and several keep votes, with most recommending expansion of the practice to the other single digit templates. Is there something I am missing in the discussion? Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 06:56, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Airplaneman,
Thank you for your comments. In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Art_School, it "is written like an advertisement" according to administrator "Unt123" in "May 2009" and it was not taken down since. I would like to request that my article be put up again - I shall edit out all the advertising jargon. Where is it please? What could I do to improve the quality of the wikipedia article as well? Thank you. 14.200.69.191 ( talk) 14:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Domenico.y
Thanks - I didn't explain myself clearly, I apologise for that. In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_Born_Again_Couture_Fashion_Show, you deleted it because of "(G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)". I would like to request that the "Being Born Again Couture" Wikipedia page article be put up again and I shall edit it again to remove all advertising jargon out of it. The "Being Born Again Couture" page is referenced correctly, in my opinion - what do you think of the references? Any tips as to how I improve the article please? Your help would be appreciated. Thank you very much, 14.200.69.191 ( talk) 15:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)Domenico.y
Beginning the 18th-19th Century segment, there is this statement: "In the late 18th century, the largest ports in Europe were in Germany." I do not believe this statement is accurate. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, England, at least to my knowledge, was the most powerful navy in the world. At the time, it was engaged mainly in war with France. Also, in the early 1800s, England opposed Napoleon, and Germany was under the power of Napoleon, then. I do not see how Hamburg, etc., could be called a largest port in Europe at the time, for England would surely have blockaded it, esp., re: Napoleon & France. There is no mention of German ports in the reading I have done re: the British Royal Navy of the time. England was more concerned about blockading the French ports of Brest, Toulon, etc.
If the article meant "late 19th Century," then fine. But, I think the statement, as it stands, is inaccurate. This may be a very minor point in the article, but it does betray a certain inaccuracy of history, which many people gloss over and is a reason for much of current world problems, due to ignorance of or ignoring of, history.

Thank you for fulfilling my protection request but it appears that instead of semi-protection for 6 months, you placed a full protection. It will be nice if you could correct that. Thanks -- ComtesseDeMingrélie 02:15, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for setting the semi-protection on the page. Do you think you could reset the protection reason to "Persistent addition of non-notable artists"? The addition of the redlinked/wrong-linked artists are in good faith, so are really not vandalism. Thanks. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 03:59, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Thank you everyone who participated in the January Collaboration, it was quite a success with 5 new C class articles, 3 stub kills and several articles were removed from our backlogs. In support of the Great Backlog Drive, the WikiProject Novels Collaboration for February is going to help remove backlog candidates in the backlogs related to WikiProject Novels. Please join us, and help us wikify, reference, clean up plot sections and generally improve Novels content, Sadads ( talk) 22:32, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I think The article needs to be moved (renamed) to 2011 Egyptian revolution. See Google Trends (egyptian protests, egyptian revolution) [1]. We have talked about it in the talk page for long time with no consensus. Can you help? I would also would appreciate if you contribute to the article to bring it up to wikipedia standards and keep an eye on it. :) -- The Egyptian Liberal ( talk) 10:37, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Airplaneman,
I was wondering if you could help me decide, or give me any feedback, on some articles that I'm reviewing as potential victims for the public policy initiative. I have chosen 6 of them so far
I was just wondering if they are applicable to public policy- they should be since I got them through the "assessment" tab. Also which ones you think would work best. Are there any that you think I should work on since they need a lot of help? Things like that. Thanks mentor! Julietabulie ( talk) 22:49, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Oh wow! Thanks so much for all of your help and input! I do not mind you fixing up my posts in the least! I am thinking about the Seed and Grain Loan Act since it really does need quite a bit of help. I will definitely keep you updated on everything. Thanks again!

Hi Airplaneman, I hope you are well and not too busy. Could you check if everyhthing is ok please with the Being Born Again Couture article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Domenico.y/Being_Born_Again_Couture_Fashion_Show? Can you tell me if there is further adjustments to make? This would be much appreciated. Also, I've edited a few wikipedia articles since then and I am getting the hang of it.

I've nominated The Battle of the Labyrinth for GA, will we do The Last Olympian as our next collaboration? -- Perseus 8235 18:14, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey Airplaneman! This is just a quick reminder: please be sure to add {{ WAP student}} (for an example, see User:Sfofana) the user pages of your mentees. And once they are working on articles, be sure to tag the talk pages with {{ WAP assignment}}. Cheers-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 18:55, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
