NOT RETIRED
This user is somewhat active on Misplaced Pages, and limits his activities to a small range of pages and mostly non-contentious discussions. There may be periods in which the user is not active due to life issues.
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.

  • If you are discussing an article: I would prefer to use that article's talk page, unless you'd rather not to use that page for some reason, such as commenting on a particular user's edits in semi-privacy.
  • If I leave a message for you: Please respond on your talk page. I'll probably add it to my watchlist, but if I miss something, feel free to leave a talkback.
  • If you leave a message for me: I will most likely respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page.
  • If I remove your message from my talk page: Please DO NOT re-add the same meassage, or follow-up with another message - They will be removed again. This is a sign that I am disengaging from contact with you and/or the subject matter. The only exception is for messages where WP requires that a user be informed of an ANI or similar discussion.
  • Please limit this talk page to discussions not related to any particular article, those covering a wide range of articles/topics, or personal comments.
  • If you wish to keep a matter confidential, such as discussing personal and/or confidential information, you may use the "E-mail" feature (usually activated!). I will respond in kind unless otherwise requested. This is not for discussing routine matters regarding editing on pages - use the article talk pages for that.
  • Note: My Email was not functioning between Jan 1-5, 2015 due to my crappy ISP unilaterally deciding that I no longer need access to my FIVE email accounts with them. It's fixed for now, but I didn't receive any email sent in that period. And as thanks, my crappy ISP will probably raise my rates!
  • If you want me to take your opinions and edits seriously, you ought to register. and use that account for all your edits to English WP. Otherwise one never knows who really made the edits, especially in the case of dynamic IP addresses. Also, having a unique body of work in your edit history is helpful to other editors in many positive ways, and shows that you are genuinely committed to WP.
  • Note: I reserve the right to decline or withdraw from a situation that is escalating or uncomfortable, without giving a reason, or to take further action through permissable means. This may include removing your messages from my talk page.
  • If I mistakenly called your edits as vandalism when I reverted them, it was probably because you did not leave an edit summary. (This also applies to Rollbacks.) Please realize that, in many cases, unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism!
  • If you're here to troll, harass, or vandalize, I might not be able to stop you, but you will be reverted...and beware the giant dice.

Proposal to change scope of article Americans

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Americans#Main paragraph thingy. Thanks. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:09, 17 January 2015 (UTC)Template:Z48

Mirage 4000

Please explain why Mirage 4000 is not similar to Su-27. Thank you--Arado (talk) 17:32, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Different role. - BilCat (talk) 17:33, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
What is the role of the Mirage 4000 and that of the Su-27?--Arado (talk) 17:34, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Read the articles. - BilCat (talk) 17:47, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages says fighter/interceptor for Mirage 4000 and air superiority for Su-27. So if the MIrage is similar to F-15, and everyone agrees that F-15 is similar to Su-27, why is Mirage 4000 not similar to Su-27?--Arado (talk) 17:53, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
The Mirage 4000 is more similar to the Tornado, and neither is an air superiority fighter. If it's listed as similar to the basic F-15, then it should probably be removed. Please bear in mind that the Similar aircraft section can be highly controversial, and isn't used at all in some articles because of this. - BilCat (talk) 18:01, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Yes, i know it is controversial, for obvious reasons. Then the question is how maneuverable was the Mirage 4000, relating to the air superiority capability. The interception capability is already confirmed--Arado (talk) 18:06, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Actually, the question is, What reliable sources consider it to be an air superiority fighter? Granted, the there isn't a lot available on the 4000, as it was never sold. - BilCat (talk) 18:10, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Reliable source

please explain what is a reliable source. Do you understand what is a strike fighter and a fighter-bomber?--Arado (talk) 17:34, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

WP:RS. Yes, I do. -BilCat (talk) 17:37, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
then please write what is the difference between strike fighter and fighter bomber, and let's see which description fits the Su-34 best. Thank you--Arado (talk) 17:38, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
To be honest, neither one fits. It's a tactical bomber. - BilCat (talk) 17:39, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
If it's a tactical bomber, then why does it have air-to-air capability?--Arado (talk) 17:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
For self protection.- BilCat (talk) 17:42, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
YOu could say it is for self protection if it was only short-range air-to-air missiles, but it also carries medium-range air-to-air missiles--Arado (talk) 17:44, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
It's primary role is still as a bomber. - BilCat (talk) 17:46, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
That is true, primary role is medium-range bomber/interdiction. I agree. I even wrote that in the introduction. But then we need to find reliable sources which say this is a medium-range bomber capable of dogfight (which it still is, even if it's heavier than a SU-30) and even medium-range interception, if neither fighter-bomber nor strike fighter describe it best.--Arado (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Americans

see: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/87645/can-i-use-us-american-to-disambiguate-american-if-not-what-can-i-use --190.171.207.76 (talk) 17:15, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

"US-American" is still not that common in English. It's use is covered at Names for United States citizens. If you want to have it included in the Lead title, pleas use the article's talk page to build a consensus to support it. Be prepared to cite reliable sources that this is common usage in English. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 17:30, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
