The Fokker Scourge article

I am having a few problems with an enthusiastic but at times very dogmatic editorial colleague on the Fokker Scourge article. In fact, things have reached a pass where some second opinions might be useful. The specific question he is hammering at the moment is that we shouldn't ever say "No. 1 Squadron RAF" (in spite of that being the usual way of putting it) but "1 Squadron" (on the grounds that the "No." is redundant). I wouldn't object to an occasional omission of the "No.", if only for elegant variation, but he has been going right through the article wiping every instance and claiming that "Wikipedia is not a source" (which is true enough, but nothing to do with the case). The gentleman concerned has been making dozens of other (mostly very pettifogging) changes to the article - a few have been genuine improvements, and most at least acceptable alternatives but some of have made clear text obscure, even meaningless. I have let everything he has done that is at all acceptable stand, but the really bad ones I've had to change - usually with a new version rather than a provocative revert.

I was wondering, if you have a moment, if you'd like to have a little look at the Fokker Scourge talk page (go straight to the bottom if you like) and tell me, either here, on my talk page, or even on the talk page of the article if you want to actually buy into the discussion, if I'm being totally unreasonable and should just give up. This is (for a WWI aviation article) quite a high traffic one - and I'd like to leave it in reasonable shape. At least readable, and plain in meaning (two things I value far above brevity for its own sake). --Soundofmusicals (talk) 01:22, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2 (oleo undercarriage).

The oleo strut of the F.E.2's undercarriage is of course well known - and well referenced. Just two sources that come to mind are:

• Hare, Paul R. The Royal Aircraft Factory. London: Putnam, 1990. ISBN 0-85177-843-7, pp.208-209.
• Cheesman, E.F., ed. Fighter Aircraft of the 1914–1918 War. Letchworth, UK: Harleyford, 1960. pp. 44-45.

I have nonetheless run into a bit of conflict with someone with interests from "a later war" who disputes this - perhaps on the authority of works documenting more modern "oleo struts". I wonder if you could apply an impartial eye on this one? --Soundofmusicals (talk) 23:54, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

"Überkanone"

Hi Georgejdorner,

in the articles Karl Plauth and Flying ace, the term "Überkanone(n)" appears. I can't find it anywhere else and was surprised about the term as well, but I am not knowledgeable about the topic. It has apparently already been discussed at Talk:Flying_ace and Talk:Flying_ace/Archive_1#Translation_of_the_word_.22.C3.9Cberkanone.22. Today, Hamilton McWhorter III is linked from the Main Page, in "Did you know?", prominently, with an image of a golden medal. That's how I found the "Flying ace" article, and how I found the term "Überkanone". I'm sure others will, too; would you mind if I remove it as it does seem to lack a reference?

Your GA nomination of Hans Berr

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Hans Berr you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Georgejdorner -- Georgejdorner (talk) 03:01, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

G'day, George, I hope you are well. I notice that you have created the GA review page for this article even though you are the nominator; was this an accident? It isn't usual for the nominator to create the review page, and often this will mean that the review will stagnate for quite some time as potential reviewers will think that the article is already under review (when it actually isn't). If it was an accident, do you wish for me to use my admin tools to delete the review page for you as a mistake? This will put the article back into the pool of unreviewed articles and allow someone else to pick up the review when they are ready. Please let me know what works for you. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 07:47, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

May 2021: The very recalcitrant user you mentioned

Short of an actual troll or vandal, I have never before seen such a stubborn user as User:DagneyGirl on Wikipedia. The manner in which they protest in fractured English and then conclude with "so be it" is indicative of an inability to work with others. I hope you and the various editors who take exception to their attitude, communication and editing habits are able to have them censured. Such behavior would have normally incurred at least one block by now.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:33, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

100 Award

		The 100 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
		It seems that you have written 100 Did You Knows and no one has noticed (no award for 25 or 50!). That can never be the case, thousands of people will have seen your DYKs and thousands will have read your work about military operations. You have improved the front page, the DYK project and to top it all, helped to build an amazing free educational resource. So thanks - people notice. Victuallers (talk) 11:00, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Friedrich Hefty

Hey there,

I've looked a bit more into Hefty's name being 'Friedrich' or 'Frigyes'. I found the following: in the book "Austro-Hungarian Albatros Aces of World War 1" he appears with the name 'Friedrich' and I've also found a newspaper article from the Detroit Free Press from 1965 talking about his death, and there he is also mentioned with the name 'Friedrich' (well technically, he's mentioned as 'Frederik'). However, in his book "Repülők előre!" that he wrote in 1940, he appears as 'Hefty Frigyes' (Hungarian way of writing the name, with the surname before the first name). So it does seem that he used both versions of his name, but still couldn't find what his exact birth name was. But I do think this should be mentioned in the article, maybe as a note that he used both 'Friedrich' and 'Frigyes'? Alin2808 (talk) 12:19, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

108) DYK for Friedrich Hefty

On 21 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Friedrich Hefty, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Friedrich Hefty. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Friedrich Hefty), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Oswald Boelcke

I just noticed that the FAC for Oswald Boelcke has been archived for lack of reviews; I would definitely have taken a look, and probably supported again, if I'd noticed it. Sorry about that -- that would have prevented it being archived, at least for a while. If you decide to nominate it again, please let me know -- it's perfectly neutral to let prior reviewers know that an article is at FAC again.

• Mike, your offer is much appreciated. However, there was a review in progress when it was archived again, so I doubt your review would have stopped it being pulled. It has become apparent to me that I am wasting my time trying to get an A Class or FA nomination reviewed in this forum.Georgejdorner (talk) 00:16, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

  Sorry you feel that way, but of course it’s your call. If you do ever take another crack at FAC, with this or another article, let me know. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 00:30, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Alexander von Winterfelt

Hello, do you happen to have information on Alexander von Winterfelt? According to my sources, he was a fighter pilot in both WW1 and WW2, with four claims in WW1. However, I don't have much information on his WW1 service. Thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Sigma

Wanted to drop you a note about the Sigma War Games article. I found it utterly fascinating, and was surprised I had never heard of it before, given my interests.

It appears the US managed what the games suggested would be among the best possible outcomes - stalemate followed by war weariness and increasing public opposition. But the whole thing... they themselves concluded they would lose almost every time but went in anyway to attack their former ally who was already signalling their interest in a deal. WOW.

This story should be much better known than it appears to be. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:35, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Would you consider becoming a New Page Reviewer?

Hi Georgejdorner, we need experienced volunteers.

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
• If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.
• Cheers, and hope to see you around — ❯❯❯ Raydann^(Talk) 15:42, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
