| Thanks, check ] for nearly more navboxes than text! Cheers for the fixes, editing too fast as usual. In the back of my head these designations 'O' and 'R' are (or were) originally military designations, I feel another navbox coming on (but not too soon)! The navboxes are brilliant for 'at a glance' quality of the articles across a company and provide a very easy way of 'borrowing' pre-made infoboxes and reference sections between them.

Very cold (-5C OAT at 4,000ft), so many layers of clothes on it was difficult to move around for a good lookout. I took the camera as the light was very good and took some opportunity snaps, got a few of the Pawnee O-540, a Continental A65, and a few gliders. A couple of books arrived today from Rolls-Royce, one on the ] is fascinating, the article is quite good but there were a few mysteries that are clearer now and I will try to expand that article in time.

| Adam (and Gary too), I just had a look at the ] in preparation for making a navbox for the company. Eeek! It looks like it was written by a car fanboy! the main section is a poorly written timeline, and then it lists brands of automobiles that have used Continental engines, but no engine types, either for automobiles or aircraft. There are several aircraft engine links in the article, but not many. I'll try to get a template set up after my sleep period, but I'll definitely need help filling it out. Thanks! - ] (]) 10:19, 19 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks for the list on the company page - it helps alot. Also, I just had a look at ] and ] - they appear to be near-duplicate articles, though there are some diffences. RL created the original C85 article 2007, then moved it to O-190 soon after. Five month later, an IP restored the original C85 page without trying to undo the move, or noting it at the O-190 page, and it apparently went unnoticed. The differences need to be reconciled, and one page made a redirect to the other. Any prefences on which is the primary page? I agree with RL that O-190 seems best. If you are able to time-wise, could you do the merge? Thanks. - ] (]) 18:49, 19 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

| I did not vandalize the Windows 7 page, in fact I've never been there.

| The book being referenced is the 1975 edition of the Air Force Museum guidebook, which is unique among the various editions because it provides histories of the actual aircraft on display. I'm currently working with a staff member at the Museum and two other Misplaced Pages editors to try to find out additional information, but these guides never listed an author until the 1980's (most editions just reprinted edited versions of the information contained on the display plaques in the Museum). It's also very likely that there was never an ISBN # issued for these guides. That being the case, the only way to identify specific editions is by the year, which is printed on the bottom left corner of the table of contents page (usually), and the cover photo, which was unique to each edition (the 1975 edition has a photo of the B-70 on the cover). - ] (]) 22:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == ISBN == | |||
| Hi Ahunt - thanks for weighing in and helping ] become up to speed with referencing. However, one little detail you've asked him for is a little misleading: you've identified ISBN as one of the "minimum" requirements for referencing. In fact, this isn't the case. Our ] specifically says that "The ISBN (which is wikified automatically) is optional". | |||
| In fact, no referencing system I've ever seen demands this, and AFAIK most don't even provide for it. Why? Because it's actually not a very useful research tool. The ISBN is primarily a distribution-chain reference number, very much like the barcode on a grocery item. ISBNs are highly specific to one particular edition of a book distributed by one particular publisher and sometimes even one particular print run/cover/dustjacket design. In other words, it's over-specific. The identical book with identical pagination published by the publisher's licencee in another country will have a completely different ISBN. Identifying the publisher, location, date, and edition (where applicable) are all that's required for Verify the reference. | |||
| Cheers, and thanks again for the help – it was just this one point that appeared to be causing confusion. --] (]) 22:33, 29 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks - understood! :) Note, of course, that not every books has an ISBN, and this would be particularly the case for publications which are only anticipated to be sold through one outlet (as in this case) and which therefore don't need to fit in with the general "supply chain" of the industry. FWIW, none of the various editions of this book listed on abebooks have ISBNs quoted, ''tending'' to suggest (but certainly not proving...) that the Museum Foundation may not have bothered obtaining them. --] (]) 23:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Besides PWC and ], are there any other aeroengine maunfacturers in Canada that would be notable enough for an engine navbox? Avro Canada/Orenda Engines did not make that many engines, as far as I can tell, but I think it is significant enough historically to make a navbox for these engines.

| A quick question. Currently the article says that "...pilots are required to file flight plans for non-local flights in Canada, and flight plans are opened automatically at the planned time of departure...". However, I thought that it was only within the ] that a FP was required and that outside of that it was optional. Also the auto opening. I get calls all the time from North Bay\Edmonton Centre asking about aircraft that have not departed so is the auto opening correct? Thanks. ] ] 15:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Adam, I just had to clean-up an IP's edit to the "Reims FR172J and Cessna R172K Hawk XP" section on the ] page per . Of course, rhter than click on the edit button for tha minor section, I had to scroll up to the top of the "Variants" section, and then scroll through that very over-long section a couple of times to find the right part. Even few sub-heading sections by decade would be better that what we have now! I'd put them in myself, execpt it has been the subject of debate. Did we ever settle that dispute on the section headings from awhile back? Thanks. - ] (]) 21:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ==Dates in Gmail== | |||
| Hi, I don't wanna get in a revert war so I'm notifying you before I do this. If you look at the Gmail article, the dates have overwhelmingly since the beginning been in Month/Day/Year format, while it was only recently the whole article was changed to Day/Month/Year. I think it should be switched back because of historic usage in the article, as well as following Google's own formatting & am going to do so now before there're any major changes to the article. If you have reason to believe otherwise please talk to me/post on the discussion page of the article & hopefully we can find a consensus. Thanks ] | ] 22:42, 30 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi, I changed it back because I thought the more changes that occurr in the article, the harder it is to change back. This isn't a major revision and we can go either way on this without much effort editing the article, so I don't think changing it was in bad faith. It seemed looking at the article's history page from the start that the predominant style was M/D/Y, changed or inconsistently altered at various points to D/M/Y. I would argue that since this is the case, that since Google uses M/D/Y in its own documentation, and that since new advances in the software come to US English before other versions (and this has happened more recently with features such as the new layou, labs and text messaging contacts), the Gmail article should use M/D/Y. ] | ] 16:30, 31 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::And I don't mean to get into a fight with you over this & think there are definitely bigger things on both Misplaced Pages & in the world, it's just one of my pet peeves to see pages use inconsistent or badly applied styles. I agree with you that whatever way it goes, the whole article should be that way, and not have one sentence like 17 March and another April 14. Sorry if it looks like I'm trying to make trouble, I'm more just trying to come to rational on why it should be one way or another so we can apply it in the article. ] | ] 16:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC) | |||

| Please begin by explaining your aesthetic vision to me, because this article appears ad-hoc and disorganized and I only intend to add to its completeness, but my edits having been '''repeatedly''' reversed. For example, the article titled "2007 Dash 8 landing gear incidents" linked in the LG incidents section of this article is arbitrary in that LG incidents in 2007 were not *all* of notable contrast to the history of LG incidents of this plane. Further, a record number of issues in one year is entirely coincidental. ''Organizing information based on subjective delimiters is only useful if *all* information similar to it is organized by the same delimiters.'' Which it is not the case in this article. Feel free to organize all incidents this way, otherwise I see no argument here. I think the "Bombardier Dash 8" LG section should contain a complete LG incidents summary with links to notable individual incidents and we should forget about the ill conceived "2007 Dash 8 LG..." article and let it rot into obscurity. My opinion is further strengthened for 2 entirely separate reasons. First, web browsing has evolved into a vertically scrolling activity so a web page can grow considerably in vertical length before it becomes cumbersome; this article is far from it. And second, forced quantity limitations would be necessary in a printed book, but are not necessary here. | |||

| Either accept that I have a point and work with me on a compromise, or admit my comments in the Bombardier Dash 8 article LG incident section about the author being on Bombardier's payroll were spot on and he/she is in violation of Misplaced Pages policy. | |||

My usual response to theis editors posts is a simple revert, and that generally produced a firestorm that ultimately lead to the editor being banned for 1 year.
