The reason you were reverted was because you didn't provide an edit summary and without that, how would anyone know your edit was sourced or not? (and some of the changes appeared to be unnecessary either way). You were also editing while logged out, which isn't forbidden, but does create it's own issues. For one, you were editing from a corporate IP address, so hopefully you are familiar with Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guidelines (your contribution history shows edits made to articles related to that corporation). But as for the changes you made to the Montana-class, you can't really expect editors to read through every attached source to see if some random IP user's changes are supported, so they were reverted. Now that you've added a summary explaining the edits, I'll take your word for it and we can move on. But please keep the guidelines I've linked here in mind when making future edits. Thank you - ^theWOLFchild 18:16, 13 June 2018 (UTC) reply

I've only just started working for Boeing, and the edits to STS and Montana-class battleships are the only ones that I've made so far on the corporate network. The edits are made during my breaks and down time, they're not done on behalf of the company. DeliciousFart ( talk) 18:30, 13 June 2018 (UTC) reply

As far as COI is concerned, now you know the guideline, what you do going forward is up to you. As for the other policies & guidelines I noted, I wanted to point out that while edit summaries are not a policy, they are a widely accepted "community norm" and are extremely helpful to other editors, especially when you make edits to pages on their watchlist. If you start to build and monitor your own watchlist, you'll quickly see this for yourself. Your cooperation with this is appreciated. Thanks - ^theWOLFchild 21:08, 13 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Howdy, I've noticed that your changing measurements in the Iowa class battleship article - which is fine, however when you change the measurements you also need to change the citation for the information, otherwise the info will end up being revert on grounds that the current information doesn't match whats in the citation (per verifiability, not truth). Keep that in mind: its not what's true, its what we can prove, and if the citations don't match the numbers then the numbers will get reverted. TomStar81 ( Talk) 01:18, 24 July 2018 (UTC) reply

The measurement source is from Garzke & Dulin United States Battleships 1935-1992. I didn't think it was necessary to list the citation for every value because it would look redundant, I just said it in the edit summary. Steve7c8 ( talk) 04:23, 24 July 2018 (UTC) reply

People generally don't check edit summaries for refs. Some articles have thousands of entries in their histories, going back for numerous years. Tomstar81 is correct, if you change content, you need to add or update the existing source, or your edits can be reverted. You can use WP:REFNAME tags to make it easier. - ^theWOLFchild 18:38, 24 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Fair enough. The book itself was listed at the bottom of the article, which is why I felt it wasn't necessary to directly cite it. Steve7c8 ( talk) 18:40, 24 July 2018 (UTC) reply

If it makes you feel better, you can cite the book author and page number as long as the book is cited in its entirety in the references section. TomStar81 ( Talk) 03:07, 25 July 2018 (UTC) reply

I added a new sub-section called "General characteristics" that describes the same dimensions as in the infobox. I cited the author and page number there. Steve7c8 ( talk) 04:09, 25 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Another option to consider, if you will be adding the same values for various characteristics to multiple pages, is to use a template, like the ones seen here; for the Tico cruisers. FYI - ^theWOLFchild 05:01, 25 July 2018 (UTC) reply

It's not quite as simple, according to G&D and Sumrall, New Jersey has very slightly different dimensions from the others, namely being longer by a few inches and narrower by 5/8 inch. Steve7c8 ( talk) 15:59, 25 July 2018 (UTC) reply

In that case, you would need to attach a ref to that content if you want it to remain. I only mentioned the refname and template options above to make adding refs easier if using the same ref for multiple entries on the same page, or adding the same content to multiple pages. But either way, all content must be sourced, with refs attached on the page. Cheers - ^theWOLFchild 16:35, 25 July 2018 (UTC) reply

The ship infobox is supposed to be a brief summary of the stats, roughly equivalent to an entry in Conways-type book. In addition I've gotten complaints that our infoboxes are too long and dominate their pages, so I'm trying to keep them as short as possible while providing basic info. Template:Infobox ship begin/Usage guide covers a lot of the basic info including what should go in each field (electrical power isn't one of them, I'm sorry to say). One thing that I try and keep in mind is what are the most important things in each category and to only use those; others can be used if they fit on a single line. For example, for propulsion I want to know the type of engine powering the ships and how it is actually propelled. Adding "geared" to the steam turbine entry isn't strictly necessary, but it fits just fine on that line. For armament, I want to know the number and size of the guns, the model and caliber length is of secondary importance. For ships with multiple changes in armament or function multiple infoboxes are probably the best way to show those changes clearly, though I'm uncertain if they're needed for these ships. See Japanese battleship Ise for a ship with three infoboxes, but notice that only the things that have changed are listed in the successive infoboxes. I'll watchlist list this page if you want to discuss this further.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 23:17, 11 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Fair enough. I separated the decks, as as done on SoDak and NC articles. Full load displacement should also be there, IMO. Steve7c8 ( talk) 23:31, 11 March 2019 (UTC) reply

The American battleships tend to have the most elaborate infoboxes, especially the rebuilt ones from WWI, so you really can't use them as a guide because several editors have staked them out and are resisting any changes to their infoboxes. USS California (BB-44) has been recently been upgraded and also offers a good guide. Standard displacement is important because it ties into the treaty limits, so I like to use both that and full-load displacement. I disagree on the decks as we only want a rough idea how thick they were and a single line is all that's necessary. I'm indifferent if you want to cover the range of thicknesses of the individual decks or sum them up, either is fine, IMO. But only a single line for deck thicknesses.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 00:12, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I have the three deck thicknesses in one line. Steve7c8 ( talk) 21:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply

How big's your screen? It shows up on two lines on my monitor.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 22:00, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply

One line of code, two lines of text. In this case, I think it should be fine, as it follows the same format as the South Dakota and North Carolina class articles, and all three decks are part of the horizontal protective scheme. Steve7c8 ( talk) 22:02, 12 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I'm of the opinion that gun length should be in the infobox. Almost all American battleship infoboxes list the guns as 16in/50 cal or 16in/45 cal. Also, I think 20 mm conversion should have two decimal points, as that results in two sigfigs, matching that of the 40 mm conversion. Adding the barrel length still fits in one line visually. 08:53, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

When I get the chance I may want to create the NGAD as its own article. The confusing thing is that the Navy is also using the NGAD acronym, with the F/A-XX being the center piece of NGAD's "family of systems". Obviously, both the Air Force and Navy NGAD programs are conceptually linked together and are expected to share technology such as mission systems and propulsion, but they seem to be separate program of records.

In your first recent edit to Montana-class battleship ("consolidated citation"), I see that you deduped the Newhart book, which is great. But why did you delete all the references to it (<ref name="USB" />)? This is a Featured Article. refs shouldn't be deleted without good reason.  —  sbb ( talk) 03:54, 23 May 2021 (UTC) reply

I simply moved the book to the Further Reading section since the exact same pages of the book was being referenced repeatedly. To be honest, a few years ago I actually repopulated a lot of the figures in the infobox, using mainly numbers from Friedman and Garzke & Dulin, but at that time I didn't change the reference in every line. The main difference between those two sources and Newhart is mainly in the ship dimensions, which varied a few inches. Steve7c8 ( talk) 04:11, 23 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Understood. But if the book was actually cited/ref'd, it shouldn't go into Further reading, it would a cited source.

But now there's another minor issue: most of the infobox figures are uncited, and you're saying they've been mis-cited for a few years? Sounds like we need to verify and cite those numbers against Friedman or G&D.  —  sbb ( talk) 19:53, 23 May 2021 (UTC) reply

The PDF document ( https://www.niip.ru/upload/iblock/1c6/1c679044d8c2dce0e6a3f62c27df725e.pdf) clearly says AESA radar has been dismounted from Su-57. Did you read it before posting it? That's what exactly Director General said in the interview. I also added additional references to support those sentences in avionics section.

Thanks Canberra2021 ( talk)

You’re talking about an interview from 2014, where they dismounted the radar from the prototypes for debugging and testing.

You have removed latest references from 2022 from Algerian sources and newspaper. 2022 news says, Russia is yet to manufacturer an AESA radar for aircraft including Su-57. if you enter in edit war, I have to report you to the admin. Stop edit war.

Watch this RT video: It says phased array radar.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcTg0PsgtsU

Thanks Canberra2021 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 03:00, 12 January 2022 (UTC) reply

The sources you post are littered with factual errors, or failed to verify what your additional sentences in the article state. Again, the interview from Yury Bely is from 2014, and does not represent the current state of the program. The Military Watch Magazine article says nothing about the N036 radar as is used on the Su-57, only that the current export options (Su-27 Flanker variants) to Algeria lack AESA. The sources that you have provided are quite lacking in terms of quality, and are rife with mistakes. The image is claimed by the article to be a Spanish brochure from Sukhoi, but there is no link to the primary source itself, nor is there a proper attribution. This is why the additions are being reverted. Steve7c8 ( talk) 05:07, 12 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Steve7c8

You're contradicting yourself. once sentence you're saying the Algerian variant does not have an AESA. Another section you are saying It does have AESA. Sukhoi Design Bureau is the primary source and original manufacturer of Su-57. If they are saying the fighter jet does not have an AESA. That means it doesn't have an AESA.

You have been reported to the admin for promoting country-specific propaganda and advertisement content in wikipedia. Canberra2021 ( talk)

You're the one contradicting your own sources. There is no Algerian Su-57 variant. The statement about the lack of AESA is firstly regarding the Su-27 variants currently on offer, and secondly no statement from Sukhoi indicated the lack of AESA on the Su-57. It appears that you lack reading comprehension skills from the very sources that you've posted. Steve7c8 ( talk) 14:51, 12 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to say that I meant no insult by my remarks at the F-22 article. I didn't look to see who added it, and in my opinion the whole thing was much ado about nothing. I get tired sometimes of all the armchair quarterbacking around here. I mean, if people are going to harp about sources, I think the least they could do is check the sources first, or maybe take a second or two to check google. If people see a problem, it seems to me they could at least try to fix it, or propose some kind of solution, rather than nagging about it. I don't see any problem with it as it was written, but I was trying really hard to play devil's advocate there and see it I could offer up an argument that might at least hold some water. You do good work and it's very much appreciated, so I hope you didn't take offense. Zaereth ( talk) 03:48, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from M4 carbine into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{ copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Nobody ( talk) 05:46, 13 July 2023 (UTC) reply

22. april 2019 you edited F-22 Raptor page and added there a bogus "maximum speed" number of mach 2.25 with zero referenecs to where that number is from.

Based on anylysis of shock cone formation and shape of the plane, this number seems to be unrealistic, the shock cone will hit the wingtips at speed mach 2.07. And AFAIK the official maximum speed of the plane is only "mach 2.0" Hkultala ( talk) 20:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Miller, Jay (2005). Lockheed Martin F/A-22 Raptor. Hinckley, England: Midland Publishing. p. 102. ISBN  1-85780-158-X.

The F-22 has a basic maximum speed of Mach 2.0 as well as a time-limited excursion above that speed. Jim "JB" Brown, former chief F-22 test pilot, said in a December 2022 presentation at the Western Museum of Flight (this presentation is easily found on YouTube) that at Mach 2.0, 40,000 ft, the aircraft is using 118% throttle; for reference, 100% throttle is full military power and 150% is full afterburner. That “sprint” speed information is CUI, as far as I know, which is why I’m using the published source above.

This information is also found in Mark Ayton's article in the August 2008 publication of Air Forces Monthly, as listed in the references of the “Specifications” section, and in fact, it was in the article for many years even before I made that edit in 2019. I’m not sure why you’re using such a combative language. Steve7c8 ( talk) 06:28, 25 April 2024 (UTC) reply
