Hello I'm the guy who created the "Full Noise (aircraft)" page. Despite all my efforts to fix the page by adding citations, needed information etc, it is still being nominated for deletion, why do you want to have the page deleted so badly? What's wrong with it? And if it's something I've done, how can I improve it (or for later stuff)?

Milb, I've found another photoshopped background added by Fox52, and I suspect there more such images that he's uploaded. See my revert here for the files. I don't mind that he crops some images, but adding false backgrounds seems to be going too far to me. Should we raise this issue at WT:AIR? Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 07:58, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
You removed an accident stating that it isn't notable. The section isn't titled "Notable Accidents." It is labeled "Accidents." It is my opinion that either the section should be titled "Notable Accidents" or it should be a list of all accidents. As it is now, it is in a gray area where someone might look at it and think that there has only been 3 accidents because only 3 are listed. There is no indication that it is a select list. 209.149.113.5 ( talk) 17:37, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Happy 10th! I come to you for advice, you being an esteemed administrator who knows about aviation. When someone makes an edit, if another edit reverts it without discussion, a possible response would be to further research the issue, discuss it and think of a compromise edit. If the other editor continues to revert it back, what is there to do? I think there is no "judge" in Wikipedia so it is either to try continued discussion, RFC, or just let it go. That might seem like empowering someone who doesn't want to compromise, but that is the way things work in Wikipedia. Furthermore, if the objective is to bring an article to FAC, any conflict would probably preclude WP:FAC so letting it go might be the best route.

Milb, you recently blocked Special:Contributions/86.165.119.144. Special:Contributions/Sadiedens has made almost identical edits here and here. It seems to be from a prolific UK/Irish sock farm that mostly uses IPs, but occasionally uses registered accounts also. Are these enough to block the account for socking?

Hi. While working on the List of airlines of Yugoslavia I actually tought about including the "defunct", or not, in the title. However, there is a problem here. Lots of companies are still active. The country is "defunct" while many companies aren´t. That makes the title including "defunct" wrong. I considered making two lists, with active ones, and ones which are not, but I think the list gains in gathering all Yugoslav companies since anyway they are not that many. I think leaving the title as it was is better. The country is "defunct", while anyone can see in the list immediatelly which companies ceased operations and which are still active. While leaving the word "defunct" out of title makes no problems, adding it creates the problem that some are still active despite not being obviously anymore companies of a defunct country which was Yugoslavia. I think the title without saying "defunct" is better. FkpCascais ( talk) 17:19, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello MilborneOne, To inform you that the above "editor" is still edit warring on the BA CityFlyer and Edinburgh Airport pages and has exceeded 3RR on other articles. I have come on to this situation rather late, but looking at the editing history of this person it strikes me that this person is not here to improve the encyclopedia?

Thanks for adding the Dames category tag to the Sue Hill page. It's worth noting that the correct form of address should be Dame Sue Hill OBE (as she is a previous recipient of the OBE, and this recognised that) - in the same way as, for example, Professor Malcolm Grant, Chair of NHS England, should be Professor Sir Malcolm Grant CBE to recognise he has been awarded both Knighthoods and a prior CBE. Hope this is helpful

Hi MilborneOne, it says in the plar bio, at [ [1] that he married his niece, daughter of his brther. I think the times article is possible incorrect, as the Plarr ref has the Times article as a sources, but also several other articles as sources including BMJ, Lancet, Med Pr and Circ. 1936.

I would like to take Alan Sabrosky back to AfD even though it is protected? Reason is that the pair of tenacious editors who doggedly fought the recent, lengthy, AfD to no consensus, are now attempting to "improve" the article using WP:FRINGE sources, and to block or minimize the use of WP:RS in proposed rewrites. After intense scrutiny of of claims for notability being made, including a problematic assertion at the last AfD that a research appointment at at the Army War College carried him past WP:PROF because it was supported by a named endowment, although he has been an academic nomad, never tenured or given a full professorship -and an editor has now found evidence that the College itself has stated that Sabrosky exaggereted and misstated his academic status after leaving the College. There is also the basic facts that his "books" consist of two monographs (essentially journal articles,) published in series put out by think tanks with which he was affiliated, and collections of essays he edited - no actual books. And his isnot widely cited. Do you have any objection to my bringing it back to AfD? E.M.Gregory ( talk) 12:25, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello MilborneOne
I really appreciate your patience with me. You have been very kind not to flame me for my legion of errors. I was so stupid making contributions without a profile myself obviously made me seem to be another nutter and highly suspect contributing on a sensitive subject. I was honestly trying to make a positive contribution and realise I was making many mistakes and huge breaches of etiquette. By way of a possible aviation tid bit would information about a concord visit to Western Michigan University to drop of their first group of BA cadets be an area you would be interested in.
I am truly sorry for any upset or offence I may have caused you And can I once again thank you for your patience

Hi, on the revision front - you reverted my addition of the duchess's birth name, Prince Harry's mother is listed as "Lady Diana Spencer" - which of course is her maiden name so I wonder if you could help?
On various pages ie Prince William. other Wikipedians have changed her married surname to that is was when the princes were born - it has been reverted by others claiming that it should be the birth name not the married name used.
Is there some common ground or ruling in black and white on this site on who is actually correct?
