[edit] October 2007

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 02:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feb 2007

Thanks for the Burningman airport information! I will back to tap your knowledge of the subject. Just to let you know, I did cleaned up a little of what you wrote. Jtmurphy (talk) 18:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Do17z wikifilm.jpg

Hello Melesse,

You created a reduced version of an already reduced scan that was purposely cropped in such a way as not to have a complete image of a subject and frame. The reason the original was so large was for researchers could see the details of the audio track, the details on the aircraft and anything else someone may find interesting. I did not find any size limits on Fair Use images. Here is link on the discussion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions#Complex_case.2C_or_maybe_easy_one.2C_with_huge_historical_value

I would like to have a larger resolution image, please advise on what is acceptable. --Flightsoffancy (talk) 03:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The thing about fair use images is that people are not supposed to be able to make quality copies by printing them from Wikipedia, and your image was originally so big that they probably could. The fair use rules suggest that an image be the smallest possible portion that would allow someone to still recognize the subject of interest (like the cover on a book or album, or a short distinctive music clip). Since your image is being used in three fairly different articles, I would suggest you crop copies with the details relevant to the articles, and upload 3 different sections (For example, the engines for Dornier Do 17. I don't really think high detail is necessary for Die Deutsche Wochenschau or Nitrocellulose). Melesse (talk) 06:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

Personally I think the original prints on the Do 17 page are great! Could you find an appropriate citation for the alleged circumstances of the delivery to the Finnish Air Force of those 15 Dorniers? I think a book source would be appropriate. Bzuk has tagged it for now, but this will have to be removed otherwise. Dapi89 (talk) 20:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Dapi89, I think you are asking me to find reference to the detail about the Finnish 17's? I have not read that story before, but I do know it was a gift from Goering to Finland (couple of references).
What original printes on the 17 page are you talking about?

Flightsoffancy (talk) 05:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes citations are needed for ths kind of material. Please cite it as soon as you can. I was refering to the Newsreel image, I take it they are scanned copies of original film? Dapi89 (talk) 14:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Everything I know about the film I put on the page for the image. This is basically what I got: http://i2.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/c8/5d/c137_1.JPG While I suspect it is a newsreel, I have yet to find which (found a source), basically it has a generic copyright. I am citing the Fair Use policy to even show it for its unique content. As to the 17z's in Finland, I did not add that piece, someone else did (I don't know if you think I did), and the 17z in my scan is Luftwaffe. I will be careful to add citation to anything I add. S! Flightsoffancy (talk) 22:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes thats a nice bit of film. The Do 17Z happens to be my personal favourite twin-engined aircraft. I added the information on the Do 215 page about the complete wreckage being found. Lets hope they bring it up! Dapi89 (talk) 19:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Linking to Crunchy Roll

I have removed your link to the first Legend of the Galactic Heroes movie on Crunchy Roll as that site violates our our copyright policy. Please do not link to that site again. Thanks! ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 17:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] He 111

Fair enough. I think I should contact the RAF Museum and tell them they got it wrong. You would think they would know the full story, given they have been responsible for it for the last 63 years! By the way, incase you were wondering how I managed to get a picture of the fuselage interior, I was down that way last year. I simply asked for permission to go over boundry to take a picture of the other side (as you cannot walk around the entire aircraft). I was expecting a instant "no", but the stewards there said yes, and then asked if I would like them to open the bottom barbette to get some interior shots! So I was actually standing on the floor of the museum standing through the hatch and looking inward. I was also able to take some photographs of the Ju 88R cockpit as well, although the angle made it difficult (as of course I could not go in) and I was only able to get some good ones of the port side of the cockpit. Dapi89 (talk) 18:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Very nice. I happen to like the earlier variants of the German bombers better, the Ju 88A, Do 17Z and the He 111P models, for some reason. I was in Norway for Christmas in 2004. I went to the museum but it was shut. Was this particular machine there then?Dapi89 (talk) 17:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] world war ii online

Hi--I think your recent edit to MMO-FPS seems awkward. Probably those details should be in the main World War II Online article? Anyway, I don't feel strongly enough to revert the change, just a suggestion. Cretog8 (talk) 16:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] C-17 development

Hey Flightsoffancy, what were you looking to add to the C-17 Globemaster III article? You mentioned reports and notes on the C-17 talk page. Anything in particular missing from the article? The weight savings effort in the 1980s seems interesting. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
