f-14

I don't recognize you from before, but I hope moving the Iranian F-14s makes sense to you. The F-14 attracts too much interest and content to all fit on one large page, but if you insist, then let's put it on talk first. --matador300 22:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

SIAI-Marchetti FN.333

Hi Ken. Your entry on this aircraft had to be deleted since it was practically a direct copy-and-paste from this website, creating a copyright problem for Misplaced Pages. As it happens, we already had an article on this aircraft anyway, at Nardi FN.333 Riviera that you might like to expand using your own words. You can also find a list of other aircraft articles we need here - maybe you can help out with some of these? Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 09:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

The reason that your contribution keeps getting deleted is because you are directly copying text from another website. If you do it again, you will be blocked from contributing to Misplaced Pages.
