== My talk page ==

Hi, while you probably meant well, I prefer not getting my talk page flooded with copy-paste welcome messages when I have been a member of Misplaced Pages for a decade. - ] (]) 18:54, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

:Two messages is not a flood. Stop being so grumpy, and accept some good will as it was intended. ] (]) 19:00, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
::I literally just removed a welcome message, and you added your own personal one 3 minutes after. I've previously seen people post copy-paste messages like that just to increase their edit count on Misplaced Pages, and I don't condone that. Sure, welcome users if they are new or if they did not follow any wiki guidelines in their edits, but there's literally no reason to welcome a user you had no interaction with and who has been on Misplaced Pages for years. - ] (]) 19:08, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Revision as of 19:09, 3 December 2022

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my user talk page
Before posting, please read and follow the notes below.

  • For matters related to article content, "use the article's talk page" (most likely on my watchlist), or use the relevant Wiki project talk page (use these for questions, requests for help or advice, etc). That's the intended purpose of these pages and will get more attention from others. Out of place posts may be removed or moved to a more appropriate talk page. Leave me a note pointing me to a discussion if necessary. Please use this page only for personal and general comments.
  • Keep conversations together - I will reply to posts on the talk page where the conversation starts.
  • Do not take changes to your article edits personally. Note the warning on each edit screen: "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I may revert unexplained (no edit summary) edits that appear unhelpful. To prevent this, provide edit summaries with understandable reason(s) to explain your intent or purpose.
  • Edits where cited text is changed may be reverted since that violates Misplaced Pages's WP:Verify policy. Please provide a reference with your changes.
  • Personal attacks will be removed. Unfair and improper criticism will be ignored or removed. Do your best to make your point without writing paragraphs and paragraphs of text. Excessively long posts will probably be ignored and removed to save space. Retaliatory warnings will be reported as harassment.
  • If your posts here are removed, please do not restore them for any reason.
  • Experienced editors are welcome to reply to posts here if they do so nicely. They are also welcome to remove vandalism or non-constructive posts. If I disagree, I'll simply restore them, so don't take that personally.
  • Add posts to the relevant section or start a new section at the bottom. Thanks.

No

It was not a test. 😐 PlaneCrashKing1264 (talk) 03:25, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Whatever you call it, it was unhelpful. BilCat (talk) 04:45, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

"Hot Stuff" aircraft

Why was my edit deemed not worthy? I am sorry if I messed up or made a big mistake but that plane's final flight manifest is an important added section and adds a lot to the article. Nimuda (talk) 12:07, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

R44

Considering this made not just local news but NY Times, Associate Press, CNN, and a few others I hadn't yet had time to link, this seems like it might be a case for an exception to the guidelines if the blurb is shortened - the nationwide news apparently thinks this is pretty noteworthy. Especially since two News station employees were involved - that IS out of the ordinary. And if the pilot did deliberately try to save the cars below, as several witnesses to the crash claim he did, that seems something worthy of remembrance as well. EEBuchanan (talk) 05:00, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Please make your case for inclusion on the articles talk page. We generally go by the guidelines at WP:AIRCRASH. Please note that Misplaced Pages isn't a news source or a memorial. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 05:05, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
Ok Duly noted. Others (one an admin) have put it on the WCNC page so I updated it with the citations I had. I guess it goes there. It is something at least important in the history of the station, but if WP policy dictates it isn't in the history of the aircraft type that's all right. EEBuchanan (talk) 05:12, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
I'm sure others are keeping an eye on the incident. It wouldn't take much more to push it over the notability threshold. BilCat (talk) 05:26, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
Again duly noted. I actually live near where the crash happened and work just down the street from it, so I can keep a pretty close eye on things myself. FAA/NTSB investigations have always fascinated me.

A beer for you!

After all that work on Visual Editor you might be thirsty...tell no one where you left the "body" Unbroken Chain (talk) 06:57, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, as long as it's non-alcoholic. BilCat (talk) 07:00, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
Only the best O'douls for you ;) I can't drink much beer anymore either. Stupid diabetes ;) Unbroken Chain (talk) 17:46, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Baseball

In case you weren't aware, there's a discussion going on that you may be interested in. Fred Zepelin (talk) 00:04, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Fred Zepelin, thanks. I had already seen it, and am keeping track of it. I'll comment later on if warranted. BilCat (talk) 00:08, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
