| {{Notice|<br> | |||
| * '''Note to all potential talk page stalkers/watchers/gnomes:''' I request that only registered editors respond to the posts of other users here, and that they do so from their registered usernames. It's less confusing that way, and allows me to contact you more directly in the future if a follow-up is needed. It also avoids unnecessary confusion about who is responding. Thanks. | |||
| ---- | |||
| * Please call me '''Bill''' or '''BilCat'''. My real life identity is private, as I'm not a publicly known person. | |||
| * '''Note:''' I know the personal names of some editors, but unless your name is clearly stated on your userpage, I will just refer to you by your username, or some variation thereof. This is also due to ]. If your name is public and I use your unrelated username instead, please don't take it personally. I'd rather do that than accidentally use someone's private name. Thanks. | |||
| ---- | |||
| *'''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 ], 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 message, 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 to further posting is for notices that WP requires be given to inform a user of an ANI or similar discussions. | |||
| ---- | |||
| * 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 - please use the article talk pages for that. | |||
| * '''Note:''' Sometimes ''']''' may lose my email before I've read it. That's the future of Awful. | |||
| ---- | |||
| * If you want me to take your opinions and edits seriously, you ought to ''']''' 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 building Misplaced Pages as an encyclopedia. | |||
| * For example, you may have unique knowledge or insight on a particular topic, and having a talk page under your username allows other editors to consult you directly for advice on matters in your area of expertise. With a dynamic IP, no one knows how to contact you, so they won't. | |||
| ---- | |||
| * '''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. | |||
| ---- | |||
| * '''Related Note:''' User talk pages, including mine, are often used by other editors to ask for advice or help in difficult situations. (If you're a millennial, think "]".) If another user has mentioned you here in such a situation, please do not bring your arguments here, or attempt to defend yourself. Any such comments may be removed by me, or by some other editor, at any time. Please don't re-add the same or similar comments, as that will be treated as ''']'''. If you're feel the compulsion to respond everywhere your name is mentioned, even after being asked not to, that's a clear sign of immaturity, or worse. Grow up, or leave. | |||
| ---- | |||
| * If I mistakenly called your edits as vandalism when I reverted them, it was probably because you did not leave an ''']'''. (This also applies to Rollbacks.) Please realize that, in many cases, '''''unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism!''''' | |||
| ---- | |||
| * In case you wonder why I'm quick to delete new unsourced additions to articles, see ]. | |||
| ---- | |||
| * If you're here to troll, harass, or vandalize, you ''will'' be reverted, probably blocked...and ''''''. | |||
| ---- | |||
| * '''Note:''' If you're from the future, or have somehow been contacted by or are in contact with someone from the future, please '''don't''' post information about the future in Misplaced Pages. This is extremely '''stupid''' of you, not to mention that it may upset the timeline. Instead, contact an investment banker, stock broker, or betting agent, and make some money for yourself and your family. | |||

| Bilcat, | |||
| I made those edits because they are false information. They weren’t cited by the person who recently made the change. I am an executive in the company and am looking to have it corrected. ] (]) 22:33, 20 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
| :{{yo|Mrwetwork}} Thanks, I'll look into it. Also, as a person connected to the company, you generally aren't permitted to edit articles related to your company per Misplaced Pages's ]. You can post on the article's talk page, and request that changes be made. - ] (]) 00:08, 21 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
| == Airbus Helicopters == | |||
| I have to disagree with your recent "Corrected national origin as with most Airbus/Eurocopter products" changes as we have not had these down as multinational before and all the types are still clearly built by different parts of the company by the original manufacturers. The Puma family for example is an old Aerospatiale design built in France and has little connection with the Germany part of the company and it the same with the EC-145 helicopters built in Germany. Just thought I would raise it here first rather than revert your changes! ] (]) 09:45, 22 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
| :Just to note that the Type Certificates clearly show the German-built products as Airbus Helicopters Deutschland rather than Airbus Helicopters based in France. ] (]) 09:50, 22 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
| :While I understand your point, another user made most of these changes about a year and a half ago, and most already had Multinational at that point. My prime reasoning is that Eurocopter itself, and Airbus, is multinational, and that is generally what we have gone by, not where it is assembled. - ] (]) 09:56, 22 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
| ::I would agree that the companies are multinational but I am not aware that the helicopter production is! We could add a footnote to indicate where they actually come from per ]. ] (]) 10:02, 22 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
| :::I think it's just easier to use Multinational. Anything else is just too much work for little benefit. But of course your welcome to disagree with me and take to WP:AIR. I've been wanting to have a clarification on the use and meaning of "national origin" anyway, and now might be as good a time as any to discuss it. People seem to take the word "origin" too literally, and that wasn't its original intent. It basically was supposed to mean the nationality of the companies involved as the prime contractors, include changes during production, not just where it was from "originally". Cheers. - ] (]) 10:07, 22 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
| == Mach conversions???? == | |||
| You say that "at high altitude" (you don't quantify what this means) each mach number is 660 mph, and this is standard for aircraft articles. Where are you getting these ideas from? Can you point me towards the wikistyle page where this is laid out? Or is this your personal idea? | |||
