Tobias, I hope you don't mind but I have re-written your article as a native English speaker, good effort though and thanks for inspiring me to write it. Petebutt ( talk) 11:18, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Of course i don't mind. I am also very pleased you fixed my article.

Tobias, In English the plural of Aircraft is Aircraft, no s'. Just a small thing but can be very annoying for nit-picky aircraft freaks. Petebutt ( talk) 18:36, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hm. Thanks for advice. I didn't even knew this. Tobias von Tobiasov ( talk) 18:44, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
I have tidied up your user page a bit, I hope you don't mind. If you don't like it you can revert quite easily. Petebutt ( talk) 18:42, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks again. Wow, you really got into this. By the way, whats wrong with word "youth". Tobias von Tobiasov ( talk) 18:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
- Just the context, grammar-wise
I am a youth is OK, but not I am a youth wikipedia author One way of describing yourself is: I am a young wikipedia author or I am a Polish youth interested in editing Wikipedia, particularly articles on Poland and Military History. Petebutt ( talk) 20:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
I have just realised that you are very new to Wikipedia, I would be happy to mentor you. If you have any questions, just ask on my talk page. Be bold, remember that nothing you do will be irreversible, but also that once you press save you have released your edit to Wikipedia, so don't post anything you want to retain copyright to (Wikipedia policy actually forbids it would be classed as original research). There are templates to help with most things, aircraft / aviation articles can be created using templates at Article creator. Petebutt ( talk) 20:42, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
- Yes! Of course I want you to mentor me. I would be extremely privileged by this. I want to be better writer and I strongly belive that with my willingless and your help and advices I can do this. One time more. Thank you, Sir. Tobias von Tobiasov ( talk) 22:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Petebutt (
talk) 06:43, 8 December 2011 (UTC)I can't remember if you had enterred the project banner into the Talk Pages. When you create an article you should enter project banners on the Talk page: here are a few examples:
{{
Talkheader}}
{{WikiProjectBannerShell|1=}}
{{
USProject}}
{{
SI-related}}
{{
OH-Project}}
{{
USGOV}}
{{
WikiProject Technology}}
{{
WP Indonesia}}
{{
WikiProject Netherlands}}
{{
WikiProject Europe}}
{{
WikiProject United Kingdom}}
{{
WikiProject France}}
{{
WikiProject Romania}}
{{

{{

{{

{{

{{

Pick the ones you want the article to be a part of. If you want to give more info you can go to the edit page and copy the code from here or get it from the Project page. If you copy the code from here leave out the ({{tl| ) and replace it with just ({{). You don't have to fill everything out, if in doubt leave it blank, but if you want a tag to work just mark it (y), like this (|imageneeded=y). Any questions, test tomorrow!! One thing I have found very useful is to copy any useful code to a word processor file so it is easy to get to. Petebutt ( talk) 06:43, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Have a happy new year. Keep them coming! Pete
