Hi, Ken. Can you please add more information for your reference for the R-4B serial number on display at the National Museum of the USAF? Publisher, editor, OCLC number, etc. There are several (14) versions, some with questionable years, at www.worldcat.org. The earliest says "1976?", so you might be able to match the information for that edition. Anyways, it would help substantiate your edit a little bit more and keep other editors from removing it as questionable. Thanks. -- Born2flie ( talk) 02:57, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Do you have a reference for it being there? Scaled don't own that aircraft, and AFAIK I don't think it's kept there. Are you confusing it with this [1] aircraft?- ( User) Wolfkeeper ( Talk) 20:17, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

I recently added an infobox the the Jingsah II class LCAC article, which I noticed that you created in October 2008. Being unable to find sources online, I used the information found in the article in good faith to fill in the information in the infobox. When you created the page, you used this source: Saunders, Stephen (RN) Jane's Fighting Ships 2003-2004 ISBN 0 7106 2546 4. If you possess a copy of this book, could you use it and add inline citations to the articles, especially the statistics? Thanks, -- Patar knight - chat/ contributions 22:54, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

If you for example click on Yak-3 then the top of the page says "(Redirected from Yak-3)" with "Yak-3" being a link to get to the redirect page. Once there, you can click "edit this page" and replace the redirect code with anything else. Note however that if you want to move another existing page with other contributors than you to the redirect page then you should place {{ db-move}} on the redirect and not copy-paste the contents of the other page there. PrimeHunter ( talk) 20:46, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
#REDIRECT [[Yakovlev Yak-30 (1960)]]
on
[2] with the code {{db-move|Yakolev Yak-32|REASON FOR MOVE}}
(as the code is rendered here and not as it looks when you edit this section). This alerts an administrator that you want
Yakolev Yak-32 to be
moved to the title
Yakovlev Yak-32. Replace "REASON FOR MOVE" with for example "correct spelling". The reason an administrator is needed is that only administrators can move a page to a title which already exists as a redirect or article.
PrimeHunter (

PrimeHunter (

We do not know what is in the mind of others, and accusations of "thought crimes" are never really helpful. Perhaps he is simply an anti-communist, which has nothing to do with race! Anyway, assume good faith unless you have evidence to the contrary based on his other actions or statements that he is indeed a vandal. Thanks. - BillCJ ( talk) 00:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 05:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Ken, can you take a look at WP:CITE so that your additions to aviation articles can be accompanied by references? I have noticed some recent shoot-from-the-hip writing of yours—writing completely devoid of cites and sources. Binksternet ( talk) 17:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm working on references for the Mosquito article right now. The former intro was completely off-base, citing that the Mosquito was originally designed as a light bomber. In fact, it was designed as a fast recon aircraft, and was later adapted to a variety of other roles. In addition, the Germans used the Mosquito as a goal for their new generation of fighters, such as the He-219 (getting references on this as well). Regarding the B-52 and Bv-222, if you know of larger aircraft please let me know. - Ken keisel ( talk) 18:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Since you have a connection to Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!-- ragesoss ( talk) 15:54, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

verifying it by citing
reliable sources, as you did to

Before reverting my edits wholesale, please take a look at the entry I just added to the talk page. I don't object to the inclusion of the info on the aircraft, I've just moved them to a different section. The pilot was NOT a member of The Cast and should not be included as such. I have left his name in the section discussion the aircraft. Lepeu1999 ( talk) 17:54, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Given that the move to K222 was the result of a debate, I thought it would be prudent to have another one before moving back. Please take a look: Talk:Soviet submarine K-222. ErikHaugen ( talk | contribs) 23:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Your user page suggests to me that you are two, rather than one, editor using this account. Is that right, or do you mean to indicate that you are just one of the two people listed? Sorry if this has been asked before - I don't see anything about this. -- Scray ( talk) 02:11, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey Ken, thanks for the info. I started Pitt in 1991 and can tell you, definitively, that is hasn't happened since then. I had actually never heard of it before, but the painting makes an interesting blurb both on the Panther Hollow article and for the Panthers of Pittsburgh article. CrazyPaco ( talk) 02:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
No problem. As I recall, it was the Pitt-Penn State Game in 1983 when Dan Marino played Todd Blackledge (and lost) that it last occured. The Panthers got painted pink that night. It's too bad that tradition has ended. It was easy to clean up. - Ken keisel ( talk) 20:02, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Not a problem. :) The reason it didn't show up on requested moves is that the template was not transcluded. You have an archived discussion and no move template. In any case, an uninvolved administrator is the one who closed the request as no consensus in the first place. You would have to put another {{movereq}} template on the talk and have another discussion before an administrator would reconsider. Regards, MacMed talk stalk 23:56, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

BilCat (

Ken, two crucial point here: First, it's important to realise that when we say "museum website", we mean the official website of a museum itself, not any website about a museum or museums put together by somebody else, no matter how well done. Official museum websites are always acceptable as sources on Wikipedia, while websites about museums by somebody else are (with very limited exceptions) never acceptable. As others here have already mentioned, Ed Thelen's site belongs in the latter category. Second point: the term "reliable source" as used here in Wikipedia is unfortunate and a little misleading. Here on Wikipedia, the term "reliable" has a very limited, specific meaning: a source that has undergone professional fact checking.
On face value, this policy looks a little surprising, especially since we've all seen mistakes (even big, obvious mistakes!) in professionally edited websites and books; while there are some self-published books and websites that are probably the very best resources in existence on their various topics. So why is Wikipedia so finicky about sources? Well, the aim here is to produce a fully fact-checked encyclopedia. Unfortunately, that level of fact checking is a professional skill out of the reach of most contributors, and editors for the whole site would be prohibitively expensive for the Wikimedia Foundation to employ (not to mention against the spirit of the project). So essentially, we outsource the fact checking, by insisting that all material here comes from a source that someone else has already paid to fact check, or where we can at least presume this to be the case.
Does this always work? Of course not. Wikipedia no doubt republishes all kinds of mistakes that slipped past the editors of the sources that end up in articles. Conversely, the policy disallows us from using all kinds of useful and well-researched sources: Ed Thelen's and Joe Baugher's, for example. However, we trust that the policy works a lot more often than it does not. Hope this clears things up a little. Cheers -- Rlandmann ( talk) 22:57, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
