Hi Tigerdude9, If you wanted to combine the Aircraft section with the Crew section that would be okay. - Samf4u (talk) 20:05, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Odd
I find it a bit odd that you add two facts and ask others to prove them. Richard 06:15, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well I can prove things myself and in some cases I have done so, but finding proof it can be a hard task sometimes. I'll try and look for some citations. Tigerdude9 (talk) 17:58, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks. Like I said, to me it seemed a bit odd. It might be worth considering trying to find proof before adding such things. Richard 22:40, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 22:52, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:N312RC before it crashed.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:N312RC before it crashed.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Air France Flight 447's pilots.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Air France Flight 447's pilots.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File:A4O-EK before the crash, 1999.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 18:12, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Aeroperú 603
Can you revert the edit, there’s to much information. Pilot error was not included in the investigation as there was no wrong actions made by the crew, along with ATC. The error made by them wasn’t big, when compared to the crew being spatially disorientation.
Hello again, I reverted your edit. I appreciate your edit as yes those two factors were also a cause. But compared to the other factors I.e spatial disorientation and instrument failure, those are the key causes. It’s just with this summary in particular I’m trying to keep it as short as possible! Thanks bud
Why in the world would you add the section "Thai Airways Airbus A330 incident" to Thai Airways International Flight 261? Other additions you made introduced multiple grammatical errors also. Please remove the Thai Airways Airbus A330 incident section and fix the other errors. - Samf4u (talk) 19:38, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well I translated from the Russian version (as it had the reccomended artcle star next to it) and the A330 incident was in the Russian version in the first place. The incident was slightly related to the crash of flight 261, except that was because some passengers were claiming that they saw the ghost of one of the flight attendants who was killed in the crash of flight 261. I was even thinking about removing it ahead of time. Anyways, I removed the section and fixed the grammatical errors as you requested. I've also added a clean up template.

Some issues
Hi Tigerdude9, Concerning Thai Airways International Flight 261: https://aviation-safety.net/photos/displayphoto.php?id=19981211-0&vnr=1&kind=PC, I asked for permission to use this image 2 weeks ago and have received no reply.
1) You created Cite errors under the References section.
2) The Aftermath section should include "The activities that happened after the accident, to include information on the "Search and rescue" and "Recovery" phases of the accident." Generally the Aftermath section should be just before the Investigation section.
I have fixed the cite errors, though there are basically two aftermath sections (look closely). I know that the aircraft passengers and crew are suggested to come after the accident section, but due to the complex aftermath and investigation, I had to put the "aircraft, passengers, and crew" first (I mentioned this in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Layout (Accidents)). I apologize in advance for any mistakes. Tigerdude9 (talk) 21:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started (University Hospital Medical Center at Treichville) has been reviewed!
Can you please avoid adding empty infobox parameters that are not applicable to the particular article? Such as what you did here: for air accidents where all people on board were killed, there's absolutely no point in adding the injures= and missing= parameters; same for extra stopover parameters when there was only one stopover. I appreciate the reformatting of the infobox, which is something I'm working on as well (e.g. I invite you to add the occupants= parameter wherever is missing), but all those extra parameters that are not applicable just pollute the source code. Thank you. --Deeday-UK (talk) 08:22, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You did it again here. From now on, if I see an edit that introduces garbage in the infobox source code, I'll just revert it. If you don't care about tidying up your own code, I won't care either and will just hit Undo, ok? ---Deeday-UK (talk) 18:58, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Deeday-UK:Ok, ok, I forgot to remove it. Though it might also look less cluttered if I got rid of the stuff in parentheses as well as the empty parameters. Here is a less cluttered version. Take a look I have not added it yet as it's better that you take a look at it first:
1973 Paris Air Show Tu-144 crash
The Tu-144S CCCP-77102 displaying at the 1973 Paris Air Show on the day before it crashed.
Tigerdude9 (talk) 21:30, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's much better. To tidy it up even further, image_size is deprecated; it should be replaced with image_upright (leaving it blank or using a modest value, e.g. 1.1). Same for type, which is now summary. You can also get rid of pointless piping in links, and use [[Tupolev Tu-144S]] instead (per WP:NOPIPE). The time of the crash is never specified in the infobox, as it's not particularly relevant. --Deeday-UK (talk) 22:52, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I made the modifications. I'll put it in the article. You are welcome! Tigerdude9 (talk) 22:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lauda Air Flight 004
Re your edits - whilst not wrong, the fact remains that this was the deadliest accident involving the 767, as 9/11 was not an accident, but a terrorist attack. A similar situation exists at British European Airways Flight 548, which is the deadliest aviation accident in the UK. Pan Am Flight 103 was a terrorist attack. Maybe the Lauda article could be handled in a similar way to BEA548? What do you think? Mjroots (talk) 20:36, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Aviation accident layout in the U.S
Hi! Tigerdide~ I saw your edit on deedays talk page ~ I don't know exactly where I read in wiki but if the article is more geared towards the way English or European or Asian read and write then the consistency stays with how ever the page is written ~ if it is written more in american lingo then the page stays more american ~ so if the way Americans lay out air accidents is different than say the way english do but the article is written more inline with the american way it should stay american ~ and vice versa if in English ~ ~ which article were you talking about ~ by the way nice meeting you~ if I can help in any way ~ let me know here and I will do my best ~ thanks again ~mitch~ (talk) 12:34, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@mitch, the choice of which variant of English to use for an article has got nothing to do with the article structure. As far as aviation accident articles are concerned, the agreed structure is laid out at WP:AVILAYOUT-ACC, and nowhere does it say that different article structures apply to accidents occurred in America, Australia, Europe or anywhere. --Deeday-UK (talk) 20:17, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pilot error
Tigerdude9, you've got to stop adding 'pilot error' wherever you feel it's appropriate; it is not, unless you can quote a reliable source using exactly that phrase. It's astonishing how casually you seem to disregards guidelines on original research and synthesis as you did on UPS Airlines Flight 6. Keep your personal deductions to yourself ('the report says such and such, therefore it must have been pilot error'), let alone your in-line speculation ("It could be possible that the flight crew shut down PACK 1. If so, then pilot error would be one of the causes").
This is not the first time I'm telling you this. I would suggest to focus your attention on other aspects of the article, and leave accident summaries and presumed pilot errors alone. There was another 'orbital' editor, not long ago, that seemed obsessed with adding 'pilot error' to every accident article, and it didn't end up well. --Deeday-UK (talk) 13:29, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be honest, I though OR might be okay in acomment that can't be seen when not editing. Plus (this is my personal opinion) I don't care how big or small the errors are. Pilot error is pilot error. Both pilots were at fault in the Tenerife accident. And Douglas Lampe violated crew resource management by deciding to return to Dubai (even though that was not stated in the report; it does state that it does require frquency changes though). It's still worth noting. As for quotes that use that phrase, the closest you can find is "the flight crew's failure to [do this]" in accident reports or another source that says "pilot error is the cause of..." as long as it's reliable. However, whatever is noteworthy should be noted. I'm sorry, it's just hard to tell where it's appropriate. You are right about the OR stuff, though noteworthy stuff should be noted. I respect your opinions though. Tigerdude9 (talk) 16:37, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
'Pilot error' is a simplistic, non-neutral and unhelpful expression that does not help the reader understand. It's no wonder that no half-decent accident investigator will ever use it in their reports. To quote from the UK AAIB "The sole objective of the investigation of an accident [...] is the prevention of future accidents and incidents. It is not the [...] purpose of such an investigation to apportion blame or liability", so if the report does not apportion blame, our article shouldn't do it either, whereas saying that an accident was due to pilot error does exactly the opposite. If some other reliable source – an established newspaper, a book by a reputable author etc. – does use that phrase, then we can quote it, if appropriate, but we certainly cannot pepper the encyclopedia with 'pilot error' whenever the report says that the crew did or did not do something that they were or were not supposed to do (but we do mention what the crew did or did not do, of course).
As for accident summaries, the causes of an accident are almost invariably numerous. Cherry-picking the ones that feel more appropriate (especially pilot error) and putting them in the summary breaks the neutral point of view, therefore they are best left out entirely, which is also how accident reports summarise the event in their titles (e.g. 'Accident Report – Boieng 737 Nxxxx, Controlled flight into terrain, Springfield, 27 July 2019'). Say what happened in less than ten words, and don't try to cram in why it happened. --Deeday-UK (talk) 13:17, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I know that. The same apply applies to the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and other investigation boards. To quote from from the US NTSB The NTSB does not assign fault or blame for an accident or incident; rather, as specified by NTSB regulation, “accident/incident investigations are fact-finding proceedings with no formal issues and no adverse parties … and are not conducted for the purpose of determining the rights or liabilities of any person.” 49 C.F.R. § 831.4. In fact what you said is actually part of Annex 13 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation. All aircraft accidents are designed to prevent accidents in the future and nothing else. They are not meant to blame or make anyone responsible. Do you want me to make a fictional report on that 'Accident Report – Boeing 737 Nxxxx, Controlled flight into terrain, Springfield, 27 July 2019'? We both have different views. I view pilot error is a neutral term that is worth noting maybe because I'm autistic (even though that's highly unlikely) , but it's the only reason I could find. You say it breaks said neutrality. Let me describe a summary in less then ten words if that 737 Nxxxx became a reality: "Controlled flight into terrain due to pilot error." "Tigerdude9 (talk) 22:16, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Adam Air Flight 574, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Elizium23 (talk) 16:09, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I really appreciate you adding the Air India Express Flight 812 report link. That led me to find additional reports that I had not realized were publicly posted.
Please don't add Meteorology categories to air accident articles, even if the accidents are weather-related.

Those categories are intended for articles about meteorological topics and events, such as hurricanes, cyclones etc. --Deeday-UK (talk) 09:00, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
1- You added not 1 but 3 references to a sentence and not one of the 3 references corroborated what the sentence said. This is a pet peeve[3] of mine (and others) around WP.
2- Those references used to be in the article as long ago as 2013[4]. They were part of a paragraph about a separate investigation. I cleaned up[5] the article, which at the time blamed the crash partly on cell phone use, and alternative hypothesis section was deleted. Here[6] was a brief talk page discussion.
References are good but only if they corroborate what is said in the article. If they don't, the references have no place in it....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:03, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Kenya Airways Flight 431, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. JetstreamerTalk 22:34, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It didn't specify which variant of English to use. Tigerdude9 (talk) 18:12, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it did. There is an "EngvarB" hidden category at the bottom of the article. Logged-in users can see it.--JetstreamerTalk 19:50, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
The article Alaska Airlines Flight 261 you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Alaska Airlines Flight 261 for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

I need some help
Hello Tigerdude9! I am from the Portuguese Wikipedia but i'm here to request something. So, I translated some bits of Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise Flight 612 and published to the Portuguese Wikipedia. You may have noticed that i'm not that good on translating articles from Russian to English, but I try my best to correct. The Russian article of this accident has more details than the English one and more references, so my question is: are you able to convince some Russian translators to translate this article? Because if the English article is translated, I can translate to the Portuguese Wikipedia. Thanks!--Fernandokaiserbr (talk) 23:01, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pan Am Flight 799
On 19 January 2021, you marked the cited article with the tag 'This article is a rough translation from Russian. It may have been generated by a computer or by a translator without dual proficiency. Please help to enhance the translation. The original article is under "русский" in the "languages" sidebar.' I deeply appreciate your concern for the language fluency of Wikipedia articles, but have you carefully read the current article revision? Even though it started out as a rough translation on 19 November 2018 by (I believe) your good self based on an ru.wikipedia.org article, it's been extensively revised since then by native English speakers, and now reads to this native English speaker, at least, exactly as if it were written by someone from the UK, the US, or Canada -- and with reference to solid sources in the English language rather than Russian. If you have doubts about this matter, I would encourage you to cross-check with known English-speaking Wikipedians to test my perception. Without someone doing so, in my opinion there's a significant chance that the tagging will persist although the problem is long gone. Again, thank you for your time and good work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3024:182f:d100:c484:bc18:d201:c021 (talk)

Simple question about a date in a cit
Hi, you recently updated a cit in the article Air Algérie Flight 702P. I think you archived the source (the AAIB accident report) or something like that, but I'm curious about the date you put into the citation of 7 December 1995. How did you find that date? The AAIB report says only that it was first published in 1996. Many AAIB reports have only the year next to the Crown copyright notice, and others have the month and the year. I've spent a fair amount of time scanning AAIB reports for dates and not found anything more specific than the Crown copyright notice. I'd like to enter the complete and correct date when I cite AAIB reports.
BTW, if you're interested, I uploaded that report + appendices and a few others to the Wikimedia Commons, Category:AAIB aircraft accident PDF files - this one is found here with appendices here. I only recently learned they collected these reports at Wikimedia. Dcs002 (talk) 07:26, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
An article you recently created, Zhang Baoyu, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969TT me 10:03, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tigerdude9, regarding your edit here, you essentially called me a copyright violator. But you neglected to check when/where that text originated, and if you search both WP history and ASN history (on Wayback for the latter), you'll notice that the copyvio is in reverse. Thanks, Crum375 (talk) 19:35, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For clarification, this issue of ASN lifting wp's text verbatim came up years ago, and I felt it set a bad precedent for them to do that, since we frequently rely on them for various factual tidbits. I recall sending them an email complaining about it at the time, but got no reply, so I ended up ignoring it. It was only when you removed big chunks from the article and called it copyvio, which led to the article's GA needing reassessment, that I realized the irony of this situation. I am sure you did it innocently, so no big deal, and it's good for a laugh, I guess. Crum375 (talk) 22:50, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Pemilligan (talk) 16:06, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Tigerdude9. The above article that you created has been tagged with a notability concern tag since February 2021. Taking a look at it, I don't think it meets Wikipedia's notability policy on events. Do you have any objection to merging the content into Delta_Air_Lines#Accidents_and_incidents? There's already an entry for the incident, but that probably be expanded a bit and some references added so the information is still accessible to readers, and the article history can be preserved in case you ever want to come back and revisit it with an eye to expand it later. RecycledPixels (talk) 18:17, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by EmeraldRange were:
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Assassination of Anwar Sadat. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Zhang Baoyu and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
Hello, Tigerdude9!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

You are asking someone why they did something when their account was less than a year old. Given how you've been making a lot of questionable edits lately (with an account that is also less than a year old), I don't believe you are in any position to question what others did in their younger days.
