[edit] Cockpits & welcome

Hello Wittlessgenstein and welcome to Wikipedia. Since you are new here, you may not have observed that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia where article material are added from other published sources. If you have access to specific published material about cockpit design of fighters, I would very much like to see that material being added to an article and appropriately referenced.

If you don't have new material to add, I'd ask you to refrain from rearranging an already existing article and also not ask other people to follow your advice about adding material. Some editors here can be quite 'protective' of 'their' articles. If you have material you'd like to add, please bring it up on the talk page first and wait (a few days or a week).

Again, I welcome you as a contributing editor. T96 grh (talk) 01:20, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: F-22 cockpit

I think that it might be best to expand the material in the F-22 article as the plane's cockpit doesn't seem notable in isolation from the plane. The article is very good, however. I note that the article on the F-22 states that the plane's cockpit "represents a marked improvement on the cockpit design of previous advanced aircraft designs" - can you tweak the cockpit article further to focus on how its a major advance in technology? (which would be the main reason it might be notable in isolation from the plane). --Nick Dowling (talk) 09:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The article looks pretty good now, and I've removed the notability tag. Is there a photo of the cockpit you can add? I had a look at the Defense Visual Information Center website but couldn't find any good images. --Nick Dowling (talk) 10:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Many thanks Nick. That's a useful site in its own right. I'll have a look elsewhere, although I think I may need advice about copyright acceptability. That existing link in te article to the `first look inside the cockpit' is probably better then most static pictures. Wittlessgenstein (talk) 11:55, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: unconstructive edit

I had a lot of tabs open, so I must have reverted the wrong article. Sorry! Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 02:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cockpit Display System

Hello, I did not want to be rude with my "weasel words" comment on my last edit, it was just that there were missing letters on a lot of the new words (maybe a problem with the keyboard, and I'm not kidding). However, I'm French, so I should keep a low profile on these types of comments ;-) Hervegirod (talk) 22:23, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Les mots de belette!!? Wittlessgenstein (talk) 23:17, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] F-16 cleanup

This should really be an FA article and it's languished far too long. I'm going to be out of town on business travel this week, but when I return I'm going to propose a collaborative clean-up of this article at WP:AIR and WP:MILAIR. I hope you'll contribute to the effort. Askari Mark (Talk) 04:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Good idea. Wittlessgenstein (talk) 07:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
