Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 16:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Getting Help With Writing

How do I find people to help me write/add too an article? I don't want to work alone being so new... Is there anywhere that I can find someone to work with me? Thanks, Airplane Maniac (talk) 03:59, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi! You may be interested in the "adoption" program where an experienced editor helps you learn the ropes. The teahouse is a great spot to ask questions about things. You can also make drafts of new articles and/or changes to articles you'd like to make in your userspace, at a place like User:Airplane Maniac/sandbox, and then ask for help in looking it over and providing suggestions. Nick—Contact/Contribs 04:21, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks! I have registered for Adoption and messaged someone asking for adoption.--Airplane Maniac (talk) 16:37, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Re. vandalism
Hi AM. Regarding your query on User talk:104.245.146.4, all the details are in Wikipedia:Vandalism. But take your time. There's a lot you can learn here, and you're in good hands with Winner 42. Good luck! —SMALLJIM 22:37, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 18:55, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Lakeside Press
Thanks for patrolling Lakeside Press, and especially for doing it so quickly! But I don't see where more notes should (or could) be added, since every paragraph has at least one note which covers all the statements in it, many paragraphs have multiple notes, sometimes for just a clause. I'd be grateful if you could point out what is unreferenced. Cheers in any case.... ch (talk) 05:07, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

RV-7
It sounds like you own (or at least fly) an RV-7. Have you ever had to do an engine overhaul? - CoLocate (talk) 14:24, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- No CoLocate, sorry to disappoint but I just put that there because I wanted to express a wish of mine, and not show my location at the same time. I sadly do not own a RV-7 and I am too young to fly one... I just hope that someday I will; the RV-7 is the plane I want when I have the money, age, and time to become a pilot. Sorry about that.--AM (Talk to me!) 19:17, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Overtagging
Hi Airplane Maniac. Thanks for your help with new page patrol. Wikipedia really needs dedicated editors like yourself to help improve the quality of our content. I wanted to let you know that I think you may be adding cleanup tags to new articles a little too liberally. For example, on Jim Sinclair (comic book artist) you added six tags, some of which are duplicative (layout and sections). On Yamaha XJ750X Maxim-X you also added six cleanup tags. Some, such as dead end and uncategorized are trivial concerns for an article that was added only seven minutes prior.
As a rule of thumb, I recommend adding no more than 2-3 cleanup tags for any article, except in rare cases. This tends to be the most helpful approach in my experience. If you're up for some extra reading, here are some essays that discuss overtagging in more detail: WP:OVERTAGGING, Wikipedia:Responsible tagging, and WP:TAGBOMB. Very best. - MrX 02:00, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry MrX, I guess I am being a bit of a perfectionist. Thanks for linking those articles, they are helpful. I will try to fix my overtagging problems.--AM (Talk to me!) 19:23, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Invitation for Adoption
Hello Airplane Maniac, I noticed that you were interested in adoption. I have recently started offering adoption and was wondering if you would be interested. A few things about me are that I've been editing Wikipedia since 2010 and I am involved in a wide variety of areas. I spend my time reverting vandalism, patrolling newpages, and reviewing articles by new users at Articles for Creation. I also work at improving articles related to whatever wikiprojects I'm interested in at the moment. I would be happy to adopt you. Winner 42 Talk to me! 23:22, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- Winner 42, Great! I would be happy to be adopted by you! --AM (Talk to me!) 22:45, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
- Awesome! I've created an adoption page for you here. Where would you like to get started? Winner 42 Talk to me! 23:28, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- Well Winner 42, a good place to start is what do I do when I find a Vandal?--AM (Talk to me!) 01:34, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
- Apologies for the slow response, I've been busing. Vandals are one of the major issues in Wikipedia as anyone can edit it, people can disrupt it for their own personal gain or amusement. Vandalism is defined as a "deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia." Of course, vandalism should be reverted as soon as possible and there are many ways to do this. The most basic tool is Twinkle which allows you to swiftly warn and report users, nominate pages for deletion, tag pages, and request the protection among many other things. You will want to enable it in the gadgets section of Special:Preferences.

- Awesome! I've created an adoption page for you here. Where would you like to get started? Winner 42 Talk to me! 23:28, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- When you have discovered a vandal you will want to revert their edits and leave a warning on their talk page. What warning you leave can depend on the severity of the vandalism. If you think the user is acting in good faith, a general note vandalism warning is appropriate. If they continue this behavior you can give them a caution warning which makes no assumption of faith. Warning and final warning are reserved for when an editor refuses to stop their previous behavior and sends a strong "cease and desist" message to them. In severe cases of vandalism (such as inserting personal attacks or expletives into articles) you may want to start off with higher level warnings. When it becomes clear that a user will not stop their behavior you should report them to WP:AIV. You can use the Twinkle menu and select "ARV" which will allow you to report users to various notice boards.
- Some other warnings that are used often are the single issue notice {{uw-coi}}, for when you believe the user may have a conflict of interest, and the single issue warning {{uw-3rr}}, for edit warring editors. Hope this explains the basics, when you become more experienced there are semi-auto tools such as WP:HUGGLE and WP:STIKI which are very powerful anti vandal tools. Winner 42 Talk to me! 17:21, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Winner 42! This has all been really helpful! Especially Twinkle! I have found that I really enjoy going through new articles and proofreading them, and Twinkle has really helped!--AM (Talk to me!) 15:18, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- Nice! If you haven't seen it already, Special:NewPagesFeed is the best tool for finding new articles to patrol, tag and nominate for deletion. Winner 42 Talk to me! 17:24, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Could you look over my first article Winner 42? It is The Maze Runner Soundtrack. Could you help me create a redirect for it? I think it would be good if "Maze Runner Soundtrack" went to my article.--AM (Talk to me!) 01:48, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry for the slow response, I didn't notice that you replied here, I get a lot of notifications. Feel free to leave me a talkback (or a trout
) template if you want to get my attention. It looks like you figured out the redirect, nice job! I'll give you some feedback on the article instead. References to Wikipedia are generally to be avoided (see WP:CIRCULAR) it is best to find what the original article used as a reference and copy that. Winner 42 Talk to me! 02:41, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion
Hi Airplane Maniac. I notice that you tagged 1983 Todd Shipyard Strike (Pacific Coast Metal Trades Union Strike) for deletion; i agree that it has some problems, but i don't believe that it is actually ready for speedy deletion, so i removed the tag. I thought you might like to know why. I assume you have read SPEEDY, so you recognise the criteria. The one you used (A7) is for an article which makes no claim of significance or notability (if you read A7 you'll see it says "If the claim is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied"). This article made a fairly clear claim of significance, in that the event affected thousands of people, the company, and future events. I hope this explanation makes mine action clear for you. If i can help in any way, please ask. Cheers, LindsayHello 01:32, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Just stepping in here, over applying A7 is a very common mistake. Articles that don't fit under A7s very narrow requirements can be put up for PROD or AfD. In this case, the article will probably be kept (despite the atrocious state the article is in) because it appears to be a notable event. Winner 42 Talk to me! 02:22, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, I just don't think it was important enough to be on its own. It should be combined with Vigor Shipyards at the least. Sorry, I'll try to do better next time.--Airplane Maniac (talk) 22:04, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Feel free to propose a WP:Merge if you think the articles are better together. Winner 42 Talk to me! 00:38, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- OK! Thanks!--Airplane Maniac (talk) 00:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi again. Not trying to pick, but i do urge you to be careful ~ as Winner 42 says, A7 is frequently misapplied (i have done it myself, i expect) ~ as you patrol. I notice that at least one other article you SPEEDY'd recently has been rapidly declined. It's just a matter of refining your judgement, eh?
- Also, which is odd, you notified a user of a SPEEDY you didn't make. If SwagMasterParakeet91 is a new, potentially useful, editor, they are quite likely to be confused, at least, by this. Did you intend to and then forget, or change your mind, or...? Anyway, you might like to drop them a note letting them know about it? Cheers, LindsayHello 01:56, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Your signature
Hello, I just noticed your signature. I am also interested in aviation, but I must ask you to remove the images from your signature, as they are not allowed there. Perhaps you could replace it with a unicode version such as ✈. Thanks. —DoRD (talk) 13:53, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Dear Airplane Maniac,
It's hard to tell you my bad news. I am heartbroken, but I am leaving Wikipedia. It was good to know you my Wikipedia brother, and I am glad we got to edit together. However, policies are bad, the ArbCom is horrible and supporting administrators who abuse their powers, and good users are getting blocked and bad users are getting rewarded. I hope we can talk off wiki, my email is [email protected]. Cheers, and happy wiki editing, I am going to enjoy my retirement, and this will be my last edit.

Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Articles_for_improvement_star.svg/141px-Articles_for_improvement_star.svg.png)
Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!
Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).
If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:
- Adding the new scheduled article to Wikipedia talk:Today's articles for improvement and removing the entry from Wikipedia:Articles for improvement
- Set up the schedule pages for the new TAFI, except the adding of an image and caption
- Adding {{TAFI}} to the new article for improvement, remove {{TAFI}} from last week's article and add {{Former TAFI}} to the talk page
- Notify relevant WikiProjects that the new TAFI is within their scope
- Send a mass message to everyone on the notification list of the new TAFI selection
Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.
We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)
