== Revert: Why? ==

Hello, you reverted my edit on the Bf 109 page (which was adding a link to the WM-23's article) because you say the aircraft is not from the same era, but I really don't agree. The Bf 109's era began around 1935 and ended in 1945. The WM-23 (link I added that you removed) was from 1939 to 1942, which is nicely within the Bf 109's era and its 'prime' era too, so I don't see why you had to revert it. There are links to aircraft like the F6F Hellcat, Fiat G.55, Focke Wulf Fw 190 which came much later than the WM-23, these were like 1941-1945 aircraft and you don't seem to have a problem with them, nor do you seem to be bothered by the Rogozarsky IK-3, Polikarpov I-16, Curtiss P-36 or Heinkel He-100, all of which are mid 1930s aircraft. So if you let aircraft from before and after the WM-23 stay on the Bf 109's similar aircraft page, why not let the WM-23 stay? Is it the WM-23's performance? Because its performance was comparable to the early Bf 109s, and it is still better than other aircraft on the list such as the I-16, P-36, Ki 43, IK-3 and so on. Please tell me why the WM-23 can't stay in the Bf 109's similar aircraft section, or undo your revert. ] (]) 11:50, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

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.

Happy new year and Bradley conundrum

I think you've already taken care of some people prematurely adding Ukraine to the list of Bradley operators on the M2 and Fighting Vehicle articles. I don't want to jump the gun and add anything to the bodies quite yet as the reports are fairly spotty, but I was hoping you could provide guidance on what we could say should we want to add anything. The best sources I've found are Bloomberg (who I believe broke the story) and The Hill (which leans on the Bloomberg reporting). Happy new year! ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:28, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Revert

Why is using excerpt not a good idea? In this case, the two bits were already identical. Lfstevens (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Because the lead in one article and the summary of that article in another one should be independent. As the engine article grows, the lead will be expanded to three or four paragraphs, but the summary in the aircraft article shouldn't be more than one or two paragraphs, though it can and should be updated. The reason they are currently identical is that when I split the engine article off from the aircraft article, I used the summary as the lead. BilCat (talk) 01:15, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Revert: Why?

Hello, you reverted my edit on the Bf 109 page (which was adding a link to the WM-23's article) because you say the aircraft is not from the same era, but I really don't agree. The Bf 109's era began around 1935 and ended in 1945.
