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. Please use this page only for personal and general comments.
  • (Note: If you insist on posting a comment here instead of an article's talk page, please at least do me the courtesy of linking to that article. I make hundreds of edits per week, and I can't recall most of them without a direct link to the relevant article or talk page. I'm not going to spend my time trying to figure out what article you're commenting about, especially as you already know which one it is, and could've easily told me, but didn't.)
  • Keep conversations together - I will reply to posts on the talk page where the conversation starts.
  • Do not take offense if I make changes to edits you've made to articles. 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 Verifiability Policy. Please provide a reference when you make additions or 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 removed and 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.

Xi'an_Y-20

Hello,

I recently noticed your addition of a label about the criticism or controversy section of this article and alleging it may compromise neutrality. I'm unsure of adding it to the "development" section, even though it seemed from the beginning to me that since the C-17 plans were stolen from Boeing and the Xi'an Y-20 is a copy more or less, it probably would best go there since that was an integral part of the development of the aircraft. However, I have seen a lot of other articles where things like this are specifically listed in a "Controversy" section. Do you have any recommendations on which part of the article this information should go in? Thanks. jlcoving (talk) 19:46, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Not right off, though it's probably best to bring this up on the article's talk page to get broader input. BilCat (talk) 19:53, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Atacms missile article and Finland's cancelled order

You reverted my change to ATACS missile with claim of "missing citation" but the original citation contained also source for my claim. Your claim of "missing citation" was very clearly wrong. --Hkultala (talk) 13:49, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

You need to make it clear in your edit summary where your information comes from when adding material. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 19:18, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
