Advice
Struggling with a non-responsive editor over at Space and Missile Systems Center. Do you have any advice? Garuda28 (talk) 00:34, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- One, don't revert him any more. You're at or past 3RR, and this isn't vandalism. (Not a warning, just good advice.) Two, open a discussion on the talk page, and present your sources. Obviously, the "&" is on the shield, so make sure your sources address that, if possible. If they don't engage in a good-faith discussion there, then you can always seek admin action. Sometimes I get bogged down in reverts that are actually about minor issues, and my OCD tendencies won't let me let it go. I have to remind myself, and sometimes someone else has to do the reminding, that I don't always have to be right, even when I know I am right! Hope that helps. :) - BilCat (talk) 00:50, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- Much appreciate – I am at the three for sure, and made a note not to cross it; they’re finally engaging on their talk page, so I think we are making progress. Thanks for your solid advice, as always. Garuda28 (talk) 00:55, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- You're most welcome. Good that they're responding anyway. And if you ever want a private response, feel free to send my an email. (Sometimes I'd rather get an answer like that in private!) - BilCat (talk) 01:03, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Oops, I saw you at the bottom of the page arguing with an IP about rollbacks and didn't check the timestamp. WilyD 09:25, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Bombardier C series
hi
Appreciate your point, but the other points outweighed it for me
1. Started pre 2010, with 2. letters of intent in 2008
3. The production complex was not started until 2010 4. Production started post 2010
5. First aircraft produced post 2010
6. Competition was all post 2010, and much from mod 2010s on
Similarly, the paragraph talks about competing with the 737 Max, in 2017.
Actual production and sales took place after 2009, and with the paragraph mentioning it's competition mainly being the -700 -800 -900 and MAX series, it pretty much makes it NOT an "early activity"
Can we at least agree on that before continuing? Chaosdruid (talk) 05:55, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- Before continuing to do what? - BilCat (talk) 07:34, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Flag of Jamaica
OK, I accept that the heading wasn't the best place to link Jamaica: so where should it be linked from. I've no doubt there should be a link somewhere on the page - I was in that article and wanting to get to the article about the country, and didn't expect to have to type it in the box. But the only other occurrence of "Jamaica" in the lead or the first section is in the phrase "Jamaican Independence Day", and that seemed an even worse place to link. What do you suggest? --ColinFine (talk) 18:38, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- @ColinFine: It'll take some creative writing in the lead. I'll take a look, and see if I can find a place to slip it in. - BilCat (talk) 20:29, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Wingtip device article
If you thanked me for removing a fake image of a Airbus plane (A317) that does not exist, why did you revert my deletion of the image? David notMD (talk) 10:50, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
