Question on bases, and other things

I was just watching the Colbert Report when I realized that the update of the template might create an interesting issue. Previously, we have either slapped the pages with the airport and structure templates, and then called it a day. Sometimes there would be disagreement about what should be there, but no one was harmed. Now, we have the ability to slap one tag on the page, which is fine for installations that own the runways, but what do you think we should do for Air Guard bases and other installations which are co-located at the installation, but do not operate the installations outright? Should we create a guideline that explains this, because I see no reason why Mansfield Lahm Air National Guard Base ↗ should have runway information, while that information is already located on the airport civilian page ↗, and thus would be redundant. {{Ping|Bwmoll3}}, you might also might want to chime in here. Kevin Rutherford (talk ↗) 04:50, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
:: I don't see any problem replicating the airfield information on the Air National Guard base page. However if it's deemed redundant, a hatnote that simply states ''see: ABCD International Airport ↗ for airfield information'' works for me. Bwmoll3 (talk) 05:36, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
:::I agree with Bwmoll3 however I think we need an extra opinion do you know any one who majorly edit U.S. Air Guard bases or military installations? Gavbadger (talk) 10:28, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Brent does most of it, although a lot of people do snippets here and there. I used to be one of those people in the early days, but now I'm focused on splitting off pages from civilian articles (although I did expand Loring AFB in 2012 to pretty good standards). I suppose we could bring this to MILHIST and see what they want to do. Kevin Rutherford (talk ↗) 04:20, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Question from Foxsch

Gavbadger Hi. I am hoping that this is the correct method of dropping you a line to pose some puzzlers but I cannot be certain, being such a newcomer to the editor versions of wikipedia. My question(s): I have been adding suggested amendments to talk pages of articles. Recently checking back through the (silent) responses, I realised that portal and project pages also have a form of article watchlists. An example: I have added a suggestion to a talk page. I am reticent to adjust the article, as I have suggested on the talk page, a/ because I am not sure that directly editing a page is advisable without confirmation from a third-party that the edit is acceptable, and b/ I now realise that project/portal articles talks, discussions can also feature on relevant portal/project pages, in this example
. Should I edit the appropriate portal/project 'announcement and tasks' areas to highlight the discussions I have raised on talk pages to attract confirmations of accurate edits and further discussion, or is it advisable to go ahead with the edit and watch out for further discussion? Many thanks in advance Foxsch (talk) 18:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

:Hi Foxsch, if you wish to update the article you may if have a reliable reference to go with it, those sort of the articles which were used by the Americans during the Second World War overseas were mainly created by an editor who created them with the American related info and never touched them again. If you wish to start to a discussion about a individual article the best course of action would be to create a section on the article talk page, leave it for 1-2 days and if no answers take it to the relevant Wikipedia project like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history ↗ since the WikiProject talk pages are regularly edited and it would be considerately more viewed. Gavbadger (talk) 18:51, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

That's perfectly clear Gavbadger, thank you. Foxsch (talk) 19:07, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Ensign in Tidworth Camp ↗ article

Hi - I have toned down the ensign in the infobox in the Tidworth Camp ↗ article that I am working on. I note that according to Template talk:Infobox military installation ↗ the ensign is "optional" not mandatory. There are few things on wiki where it is mandatory to include it (other than references!). I just think it is a bit garish - just an opinion. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 00:19, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
: Ok, but don't touch any of the Royal Air Force articles with a RAF ensign at the top of the infobox without going to the aviation or military history project talk page and discussing the change otherwise I will just revert you. Gavbadger (talk) 00:49, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
::Thanks - much appreciated. My own view is that the RAF ensigns and navy ensigns look fine - they are not quite so garish as the army red. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 10:18, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

RAF Chelveston

Apologies for the edit with the |controlledby =. I'm new at this and saw that controlled by being used at other 8th air force bases, and just thought it looked a lot better inside the box as the others were. Actually, those graphics at the top of the infobox seem to be a bit of a clutter, and would look better inside as well somewhere. Just a thought Connor P. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by Connor7617 (talk • contribs ↗) 20:54, 4 March 2015 (UTC)</span></small> 
: Hi, we do limit the number of files in the top of the infobox to four but most of the time it's only three which are well spaced, I've also added a belated welcome message to your talk page since it appears you've never had one it gives some good info on various bits and bobs. Gavbadger (talk) 20:02, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

:: Thank you. I was an editor here like 10 years ago but went off to do other things. I just dabble a bit here.. don't do a lot of heavy editing. Just like to use wikipedia for looking things up and dabble here in some things that I enjoy. I found that the Imperial War Museum released a massive amount of material on the American World War II presence in the UK recently; was going though the materiel and was going though to boost up the existing articles here. I don't want to step on anyone's toes, so I just add photos that are useful and catalog them in commons. Although I do make some occasional edits.

:: Question: it looks like you're an admin. Is it OK if I go back and standardize the infoboxes? Some are ariports. some are military installations. some are structures. Is there a standard template? Also some of the aireal photos are quite low in contrast. The IWM collection has some really nice and clear ones taken by the RAF and USAAF during the war that would look much better. Chevelston is one I replaced for example.

:: Again, ty for the welcome :) Connor7617 (talk) 21:05, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

We have lots of new friends

BBC ↗

Good Day,

Thank you for your message. I have an issue with the attribution of the message which begins We have lots of new friends on the Falklands conflict page.

I worked for Cable and Wireless as an Engineer at the time and was the one who typed the message. It's always been wrong on Wiki. I am trying to put it
right more for my children than anything.

Grateful for any help or assistance you can give.

: Hi, sorry for the delay, I've been working on Royal Air Force aircraft ferrying units making multiple edits on a single article so I didn't notice the message alert.

: The BBC news article doesn't have any relevant times or anything more than "The newsroom had Argentine claims, but nothing else apart from a laconic message from the Cable and Wireless station on the Falklands - "we have a lot of new friends"." which doesn't help much.

: I have found this though https://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/blog/2015/04/01/on-april-2nd-1982-argentina-invaded-the-falkland-islands ↗, the website isn't reliable but it does say "this text is taken from Marshall Cavendish’s comprehensive compendium, ‘The Falklands War’" so I'm looking through bookshop websites to see if they have any online sneak peeks to see if any books have your name but I'm not having much luck, Amazon are normally really good but not this time unfortunately.

: Gavbadger (talk) 20:43, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

::Friendly talk page stalker, I wouldn't rely on ''The Falklands War: A Day By Day Account From Invasion To Victory'' by Marshall Cavendish. Following the war Marshall Cavendish produced a 14 part, get it weekly compendium, describing the war day by day. To be frank, its crap, really shoddy journalism and full of mistakes. The content of the article didn't match the source, so it has been copy edited to reflect the source.

Barnbow munitions factory page

I'm not sure if you'are the person to pass this on to but the above page claims that "Barnbow was Britain's top shell factory between 1914 and 1918, and by the end of the war on 11 November 1918, a total of 566,000 tons of ammunition had been shipped overseas." Chilwell filling factory's memorial quotes over 1 million tons filled so maybe a small edit is in order.

No 1 Radio School

Gavbadger,

I appreciate that you have taken an interest in the school and your concern is noted.

The changes I have made are legitimate. I am updating the page to reflect the current situation at the school, in a more official capacity.

I am at present, updating the page on behalf of the schools Officer Commanding, so will be making more changes in the not so distant future. The information that will be placed on the page will be relevant, and will not be harmful in any respect.

Again, thanks for your concern.

Thanks for all your hard work on the AVMF. Unfortunately AFM is not reliable in this area - a better source can be seen in the extensive pages of Michael Holm, drawing on many Russian sources http://www.ww2.dk/new/newindex.htm ↗ and Sources ↗.

Merge of No. 8 Flight AAC / No. 658 Squadron AAC

Hi, I was wondering why you merged 8 Flight ACC into 658 Squadron AAC. These are two different AAC units. 658 Squadron AAC has its own history ↗ . I would have kept the 8 Flight article stating that it had been disbanded/re-designated as 658 Sqn. 658 Sqn was re-raised after it had been disbanded on 1 April 2009 when it was then part of the 7 Regiment AAC (Volunteers). The 658 Squadron AAC article history section should only be on the 658 in the AAC. At present it has the history of No. 8 Independent Reconnaissance Flight AAC and 8 Flight AAC and also has a section for history of the 658 Sqn ACC.

Classic British Jets Collection

Hi gavbadger, thank you for your welcome, I’m alittle confused at your message re conflict of interest, my edits have only been to provide users an accurate picture of what the current status is at Bruntingthorpe/Cold war Jets Collection and particularly the Classic British Jets Collection which is one of several aviation preservation groups based a Bruntingthorpe. My only interest is proving users better info and hopefully encourage them to visit Bruntingthorpe and support the aircraft/volunteers based there preserving the aircraft for the future.

Mark Classic British Jets Collection (talk) 14:19, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

: Hello Mark, the message was just really a welcome and information on a Wikipedia policy that you can't have a single username which different people from your group can use, so if your username was something like "Mark at Classic British Jets Collection", "Jay at Classic British Jets Collection" or "Jay at CBJC" it would be fine. Wikipedia just wants a single person to operate a single account.

WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME ↗ re Iraqi Air Force squadrons

I've got hold of another gold-standard source which you will see I've referenced at No. 3 Squadron IqAF ↗ and List of Iraqi Air Force aircraft squadrons ↗. Both several books by Tom Cooper, and this Israeli intelligence analyst Malovany make clear that Iraqi squadrons were designated by ordinals (3rd) rather than cardinals (No. 3) in line with Commonwealth practice. In line with WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME ↗ I believe we should reflect that, and thus I am going to move them to '3rd Squadron' rather than 'No. 3 Squadron'. Since you were the original creator though and put some hard work into creating the articles in the first place, I thought I would drop a courtesy note to you. Hope that's all clear.

No. 4054 Anti-Aircraft Flight RAF Regiment ↗

Please, please stop creating redirects for tiny, tiny, RAF subunits and flights like this that will never likely in 50 years even have enough data for an article, because there's not enough mention of them in WP:RELIABLESOURCES ↗. Much much better just to create the list articles, and leave the data there; or put the data in a higher-unit or base article, like I am doing wherever I find an OTU that never moved bases. 2861 LAA Regiment RAF Regt would be a good article, worth creating, that could have mention of every subordinate flight that got merged into it. A regiment is much more likely to have had things written about it than a shortlived LAA flight. Creating large numbers of redirects that don't provide much more data at the referred page does not add to the encyclopedic value of the site, much; it just creates redirects that we have to categorize and administer..

Southend Airport

Thanks for your efforts at editing Southend airport. I am wondering whether listing every single RAF unit that was at Southend at some point might be going too far for most readers of the Southend airport page. By all means discuss the presence of the RAF at Southend, but perhaps we could list just the units which spent a significant amount of time at an airfield rather than a brief presence ? It would at least ensure that the info provided is notable. There is a huge amount of military aviation history info (as well as other info about Southend airport, eg all about the terminal construction process) that could be provided... unfortunately wikipedia's generalist nature means it can't hold all the specialist details.

Order of battle for the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine ↗

Dear {{u|Gavbadger}} you created a redirect for the 55th Independent Helicopter Regiment ↗ on 22 May 2016, but it only pointed to Korenovsk ↗, no doubt what was reported as the regiment's base at the time. There was no data added about the regiment to the Korenovsk article. There is much more data on the regiment available at 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army ↗. The regiment is now fighting in Ukraine, and our watchers there have added it to the order of battle at Order of battle for the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine ↗. I have just linked the redirect. It would be much better if there was actually an article attached to the redirect, which could be set up, even as a simple one line stub, with the information available at https://www.ww2.dk/new/air%20force/regiment/ovp/55ovp.htm.

A similar page at https://www.ww2.dk/new/air%20force/regiment/ovp/487ovp.htm is also available if you could create a starter article for 487th Independent Helicopter Regiment ↗, which you set up in the same manner on 2 May 2016. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 23:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
:I have also just found :ru:Кореновск (аэродром) ↗, an article for the Korenovsk air base that the regiment used. Copying the first couple of sentences and G-Translating them would create a stub article for the Korenovsk air base. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 00:39, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

A reference problem at Westland Wessex

Hi, in this edit ↗ you introduced an sfn reference "Marshall 1990", unfortunately you didn't define the reference. I suspect it will be {{cite book |last1=Marshall |first1=Chris |title=The World's Great Military Helicopters |year=1990 |publisher= Gallery Books |location= New York City ↗ |isbn=0-8317-9679-0 }} but do not have it to check. If you could check this and fix the article that would be great. DuncanHill (talk) 21:55, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

RAF Edzell - location

Hello @Gavbadger, I've edited your recent changes to RAF Edzell ↗, specifically the location. I've used the location of Edzell Woods which lies immediately adjacent to the former airfield and was the location for housing on the base. These changes are all consistent with the wider location of Aberdeenshire. Obviously the fact that the base shares the name of the nearby village in a neghbouring county has slightly complicated matters but I believe the above change should provide sufficient clarity that all can agree on. Would be happy to discuss further if you have other thoughts on the matter. Regards, Stroness (talk) 20:40, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
: Hello Stroness, I didn't use Edzell Woods as the location as like you've said as it was the location of the housing on base, due to the fact that the placename of Edzell Woods didn't exist when Edzell was in operation. If someone was searching for the base they would likely search for just Edzell. I also used RAF Alconbury ↗ as an example for the location, since the location in that article is noted as Huntingdon, since the new development that is built on top of the site is called Alconbury Weald ↗ and didn't exist when the base was in operation. Gavbadger (talk) 20:52, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Slavgorod (air base) ↗ and Michael Holm's site

Dear Gavbadger I have just restored the :Category:Russian Air Force bases ↗ to this page. You were absolutely right, the data on the page when you removed the category showed no indication that the RuAF had actively used the aerodrome after 1992. But when I saw what you had done, I wondered whether Michael Holm's excellent site held any more clues. So I ran a search string, "Slavgorod site:www.ww2.dk/new/" in Google, and yes, it was a training aviation regiment site for the Barnaul Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots in the Siberian Military District ↗. {{u|B.Velikov}} had actually already added it to the Siberian MD page. So please consider, as you amend the Soviet/Russian airbase pages, checking Michael Holm's site in the same way. It's based off the best Russian book sources that he could source, and he has had extensive discussions with some of the book authors. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 05:42, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
: Thank you, i wasn't aware you could that. Gavbadger (talk) 22:46, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

French Air Force

How carefully did you check the reverts you have just made here? Among other things, the ''Brigade des pompiers de l’air'' is carefully referenced to an official source of 10 September 2021. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 11:01, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
:I saw a user adding a large amount of information without adding any references. The edit summary didn't mention that the information came from the French Wikipedia, which the user is required to provide copyright attribution but didn't, i would expect a user which has been editing since 2016 to do that.

:Taken from Afrikanda (air base) ↗

<blockquote>You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing Russian Wikipedia article at :ru:Африканда (аэродром) ↗; see its history for attribution.</blockquote>

:Wikipedia:Verifiability ↗ under "Responsibility for providing citations" clearly says "Any material lacking an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source." I'm not going to add a citation needed for every single sentence or dirty up an article which gets an average of 1200 views a day with citation needed section notices.

:How do you know the information from French article is actually correct? They added just 3 references for 11,172kb of data, which referenced 3 single sentences, nowhere near the bulk of information.

:I gave the user a personalised note regarding the reversions, and got a snotty reply back, if the user had reverted my removals in the article with the appropiate references, everything would of been fine.

:Gavbadger (talk) 22:46, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
::Hey Gavbadger. Yes, I normally mark on my edit summaries "from Ruwiki" or "from Frwiki," better still, from the actual article. To your larger point, attribution does not need to be *instant.* It does need to be provided, however. Three weeks to a month is ample time. If {{u|B.Velikov}} does not do so, removals are completely justified. Feel free to remind me - I will get involved. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 21:06, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

164th Aviation Group ↗

Dear Gavbadger this organization was not a brigade.

The categories appropriate to it are :Category:Aviation units and formations of the United States Army ↗ and :Category:Groups of the United States Army ↗.

If you have a unclear situation with an article and you cannot exactly determine which correct category it goes in, please, do not hesitate to seek my or other third party advice. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 22:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

: Sorry about that. Yeah that was definitely a mistake on my behalf. I looking at two additional articles at the time, and copied it from the wrong one. Gavbadger (talk) 22:48, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Infobox title name

There is absolutely zero requirement for an infobox name to match the article page name. As per all other Wikipedia infoboxes, the infobox title should match the full correct legal name of the entity. Militum professio scriniarii (talk) 16:00, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
: As per Template:Infobox military installation - Parameters: "name – the name of the installation or structure." and "partof – optional – the larger complex the given installation is part of, if any. For proper grammar, it may be necessary to insert "the" before the name used here" also as per the official RAF website they use RAF Akrotiri - RAF Website ↗ Gavbadger (talk) 16:03, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
: Also as per WP:3RR ↗ a warning "'''An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes or manually reverses other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule often attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Fourth reverts just outside the 24-hour period will usually also be considered edit-warring, especially if repeated or combined with other edit-warring behavior. See below for exemptions'''.

Wikiproject Military history coordinator election nominations open

Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election have opened. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next coordination year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here ↗. If you are interested in running, please sign up '''here ↗''' by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting will commence on 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the current coord team ↗. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:05, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Changes to reference format

Where is the consensus for the mass changes to reference format you are making with no or misleading edit summaries - such as here ↗, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=No._60_Squadron_RAF&diff=prev&oldid=1175509624 ↗ and here ↗ where you removed the forenames of authors. Where does it say that authors' first names should be replaced by initials? How do these edits comply with WP:CITEVAR ↗.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:29, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
: Apologies, i believed that the the CITEVAR applied to related articles such as RAF stations not just the individual article. I will revert my edits. Re the first example: the main reason for editing the page was to add the GR.3 retirement date, i don't believe i should have to say that i removed unused infobox parameters that will never be used in that article, or i edited pointless aircraft repetitive links <nowiki>(Hawker Tempest V ↗)</nowiki> since the piping isn't necessary and doesn't improve the link. Otherwise i would have to include a full paragraph in every edit summary. I removed the 2001 Jefford link such their were no inline links that related to it. I prefer to make multiple edits on a single article at one time instead of tons of single edits just to inflate my edit count. Gavbadger (talk) 18:52, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

; Project News

Welcome to the one hundred and eighty sixth WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ monthly newsletter.

Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WP:YORKS ↗ has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 18,772 last month to 18,816 on 29 September 2023). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS ↗ at 215 is ahead of WP:GM ↗ who have 91. WP:YORKS ↗ also has the lead in FAs at 92 while WP:GM ↗ has 65 out of a total number of 4,865 articles.

A very big {{Thank you}} to all the editors who labour away quietly and help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.

To members who have added suggestions to the ToDo list at Yorkshire Portal ↗.

To the football and rugby editors who have done sterling work in keeping abreast of the top clubs.

To all the WikiProject Yorkshire editors who have been busy on vandal patrol at watchlist ↗.

; Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)

To recruit more active editors (See Member News)

To bring our top level article Yorkshire ↗ up to Featured article ↗ status

To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article ↗ status

To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)

To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.

;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford ↗ • Doncaster ↗ • East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ • Henry Moore ↗ • Kingston upon Hull ↗ • Leeds ↗ • Northern England ↗ • North Yorkshire ↗ • Ripon ↗ • Sheffield ↗ • South Yorkshire ↗ • Wakefield ↗ • West Yorkshire ↗ • William Wilberforce ↗ • York ↗ • Yorkshire ↗ • Yorkshire and the Humber ↗

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

;Article counts

The drop in the article count last month was caused by a BOT converting the assesments over for pages that had become redirects. Please remember that when you convert an existing article into a redirect to change the class rating to {{para|class|Redir}} and remove the importance rating from the project banner on the talk page.

Aviation Museum Aircraft Lists

;Introduction
I saw that you had been doing some reformatting of lists of aircraft in aviation museum article. I tend to disagree with these changes, so I reverted them ({{Diff|Air Zoo|prev|1183865610|AZ}}, {{Diff|Selfridge Military Air Museum|prev|1183864890|SMAM}}, {{Diff|Yankee Air Museum|prev|1183865264|YAM}}). However, I didn't want to get into an edit war or cause any hard feelings, so I figured I would lay out my arguments for retaining the existing format so that we could try to develop some sort of consensus.

;Arguments (Data)
Including the year introduced, type and "developed from" information seems to be rather excessive and unnecessary detail for this type of article as this information can be found by simply clicking the internal link on each entry. As I argued in my proposal ↗ for a standardized table for aircraft manufacturer articles, the list of aircraft should be a summary of the aircraft in the collection, not a detailed breakdown. If any additional information is to be included, it should be relevant to the overall subject of the article. I ''could'' potentially see some sort of utility for year introduced and type, since they could help show relationships between aircraft, but none at all for "developed from". However, I am still inclined to argue that any details other than the model of aircraft is too much, since the goal of an aviation museum article is not to illustrate the history of aviation, but instead describe the museum.

Furthermore, the data tends to be a bit less comparable when the aircraft don't all have some sort of unifying characteristic such as being built by the same manufacturer or coming from the same time period. For instance, comparing a glider to a drone to single engine monoplane to a {{Diff|WikiProject Aviation/Style guide|prev|952318997|multirole}} fighter jet.

;Arguments (Tables)
I know this is sort of a backwards argument coming from me, since I was the one who was arguing ''for'' standardized tables for aircraft manufacturer articles (which actually uses a similar format to your table), but in this case I am somewhat against it. (For more points, see my comments in the discussion ↗ about tables for surviving aircraft lists.) Using a table is not a bad idea, per se, but with no information other than the aircraft type, there is nothing that needs to be sorted. The only other bit of information that is worth including is the airframe identity, but given that there is not really any value in sorting it, it is not enough to justify the inclusion of a table.

Furthermore, they also don't accommodate non-sortable data well – such as notes like "replica" or "cockpit only". Yes, that can be placed in a "comments" or "notes" column, but it is less than ideal. Similarly, if this information is not available for all of the aircraft, then the section left with blank cells in the table.

Lastly, the tables both add extra whitespace and make the article significantly longer because there is no way to make them multi-column as is the case with the div col template ↗.

;Arguments (Subsections)
Generally, I would argue that the lists shouldn't be broken up into separate sections except where strictly necessary. For example, in extreme cases where the collection is excessively large as is the case ↗ with the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Even then, the sections are divided by display location, not time period – although in this case they correspond with time period. (However, I do acknowledge that when aviation museums subdivide their collections "era" is the most common choice.) As a matter of fact, breaking up the list would seem to negate some of the advantage of tables, as the inability to work across subsections would prevent the main benefit of the sort function – comparison – from being fully utilized.

On this note, how to structure aviation museum articles so that they have a uniform look is something that I've struggled with for a while. To that end, I actually created a template just the other day as a culmination of the conventions I had been developing on the subject. It also functions as a remind of the areas that can be covered when starting a new article. Although the "collection" section is only one portion of that, please feel free to take a look at it if you like.

;Conclusion
I realize the reverts I did can seem combative, so I just want to say I appreciate all of the hard work that went into your edits and apologize if they gave the wrong impression. I don't want to seem unreasonable and try to keep an open mind, so if you have arguments in favor of your format, I would very much like to hear them. –Noha307 (talk) 02:36, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

: Apologies, i've reverted my edits. Gavbadger (talk) 23:19, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

::No worries, I appreciate the consideration. –Noha307 (talk) 00:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

;Happy Christmas
A Happy Christmas to all members of the project and thanks for all the work you have put in supporting articles relating to Yorkshire. The year saw much change, especially to the governance of North Yorkshire ↗ which became a unitary authority in April. This affected a large number of articles, but most of this has been done by those who are active. There is still many of the smaller settlements that need updating, so if you have time have a go at bringing them up to date.

Leeds Wikipedia meetup on Saturday 4th May

Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in '''Leeds''' on '''Saturday 4th May 2024''', at the Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library ↗.

Full details here ↗.

You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire ↗, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup ↗ years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)

I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the meetup page ↗.

Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – '''spread the word'''! Hope to see you there.

; Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)

To recruit more active editors (See Member News)

To bring our top level article Yorkshire ↗ up to Featured article ↗ status

To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article ↗ status

To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)

To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

Bradford ↗ • Doncaster ↗ • East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ • Henry Moore ↗ • Kingston upon Hull ↗ • Leeds ↗ • Northern England ↗ • North Yorkshire ↗ • Ripon ↗ • Sheffield ↗ • South Yorkshire ↗ • Wakefield ↗ • West Yorkshire ↗ • William Wilberforce ↗ • York ↗ • Yorkshire ↗ • Yorkshire and the Humber ↗

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

;'''General Election'''
This month will see the General Election ↗ take place with a raft of boundary changes for the constituencies, thanks to the boundary commission review ↗. A lot of work has been done on updating the constituency articles to cover the changes and new articles created for the new constituencies. Once results are in there will be changes to make to all of the candidate articles to show their new status as MP or not as the case may be. There will also be changes to make to the settlement articles to show the new MP and may be change the constituency if the boundary changes affect it.

Happy Yorkshire Day to all project members, official celebrations this year take place in York ↗. May be if anyone is in York could get some pictures of the celebrations would be useful. The York article is about to loose it's GA status as it has been under review and is in need of work. Would be good if members could take time to update and keep it as a Good article.

Advice on a source

Good afternoon,

I was planning to improve this ↗ article, on the list of improvement for the British military history task force. There are few sources, and I wanted your advice on whether you think this source ↗ is reliable, as there are few other sources on this topic. If not, would I be able to use the sources that they have cited in their article, even if I do not have access to them?

Thank you Sgtnugg (talk) 11:57, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, do you have any RAF squadron movements involving RAF Dum Dum ↗ in India? I did some research and found a few squadrons, but I see that RAF Dum Dum may have had more, and will maybe be in some of your squadron books. Thanks! Bollardant (talk) 01:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''anonymous survey ↗'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page ↗ and view its privacy statement ↗ .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team ↗

; Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)

To recruit more active editors (See Member News)

To bring our top level article Yorkshire ↗ up to Featured article ↗ status

To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article ↗ status

To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)

To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

Bradford ↗ • Doncaster ↗ • East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ • Henry Moore ↗ • Kingston upon Hull ↗ • Leeds ↗ • Northern England ↗ • North Yorkshire ↗ • Ripon ↗ • Sheffield ↗ • South Yorkshire ↗ • Wakefield ↗ • West Yorkshire ↗ • William Wilberforce ↗ • York ↗ • Yorkshire ↗ • Yorkshire and the Humber ↗

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

; Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See Assessment)

To recruit more active editors (See Member News)

To bring our top level article Yorkshire ↗ up to Featured article ↗ status

To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article ↗ status

To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive

To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford ↗ • Doncaster ↗ • East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ • Henry Moore ↗ • Kingston upon Hull ↗ • Leeds ↗ • Northern England ↗ • North Yorkshire ↗ • Ripon ↗ • Sheffield ↗ • South Yorkshire ↗ • Wakefield ↗ • West Yorkshire ↗ • William Wilberforce ↗ • York ↗ • Yorkshire ↗ • Yorkshire and the Humber ↗

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

;'''Article activity'''
Thanks to all members for the great start to the year with the number of articles that have been nominated or promoted to Good Article ↗ or Featured Article ↗ status during the month. It was also great that the couple of articles that were nominated for a Good Article Review were retained after work was done on them. Keep up the good work.

Rashidun Caliphate

Hi there, when you have time, could you take a look at your edit here ↗ of Rashidun Caliphate ↗? The ref group formatting seems to be broken... I tried to fix it, but couldn't figure it out. Thanks! Jessicapierce (talk) 18:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

‘RAF’ Marjayoun Airfield

Hello Gavbadger, would it be possible for you to confirm that Marjayoun Airfield ↗ was a Royal Air Force station, and if there were any units stationed? It was built by the British army in 1942 and completed around 1945. I find it likely, but I am unable to confirm that it was indeed used by the RAF, and a few unreliable sources refer it as a RAF station. Thanks. Bollardant (talk) 18:41, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
: Hi, i've checked my squadron and individual unit books using the names in the article and sorry it doesn't appear in either. Since it took 3 years to build and not being finished until 1945, i suspect that the RAF may have only used it for emergencies, but i have no references to support this. Gavbadger (talk) 19:29, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
::Alright, thanks for helping out! I could also definitely assume that it would’ve been used for emergencies by the RAF. If you have any updates or anything new, just let me know. Bollardant (talk) 03:55, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Pending Changes

right|130px ↗
Hi Gavbadger, I don't know if any of the pages you currently watch are under pending pages protection, but if you haven't already encountered it you probably will in the future. So I have set your account as a "{{mono|pending changes reviewer}}", allowing you to review other users' edits ↗ on pages protected by pending changes. Any such edits to pages on your watchlist will be highlighted, there is also a list of articles awaiting review located at Special:PendingChanges ↗, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages ↗.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

In the area of GAs WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ at 233 is ahead of WikiProject Greater Manchester ↗ who have 91. WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ also has the lead in FAs at 96 while WikiProject Greater Manchester ↗ has 64 out of a total number of 5,273 articles.

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See Assessment)

To recruit more active editors (See Member News)

To bring our top level article Yorkshire ↗ up to Featured article ↗ status

To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article ↗ status

To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive

To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford ↗ • Doncaster ↗ • East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ • Henry Moore ↗ • Kingston upon Hull ↗ • Leeds ↗ • Northern England ↗ • North Yorkshire ↗ • Ripon ↗ • Sheffield ↗ • South Yorkshire ↗ • Wakefield ↗ • West Yorkshire ↗ • William Wilberforce ↗ • York ↗ • Yorkshire ↗ • Yorkshire and the Humber ↗

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

;Wiki Loves Monuments
This month is the annual Wiki Loves Monuments ↗, may be we can do some photographing this month and get some relevant photographs in the Yorkshire area that are listed building ↗s without photographs. You can find articles for buildings that are listed in the sub-categories of :Category:Listed buildings in Yorkshire ↗. There are various list articles in :Category:Lists of listed buildings in Yorkshire ↗ that you can scan to see where photographs are missing.

: Hi, i've checked my RAF units book, it listed the two RAF units but the book doesn't provide actual locations. However i believe this article maybe mixed up with Chengdu Fenghuangshan Airport ↗ since the World War II info is virtually identical. I believe RAF Chengtu was just a radar station and classrooms.

Welcome to the two hundred and twelfth WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ monthly newsletter.

Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 21,157 last month to 21,237 on 29 November 2025). In the area of GAs WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ at 241 is ahead of WikiProject Greater Manchester ↗ who have 89. WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ also has the lead in FAs at 99 while WikiProject Greater Manchester ↗ has 64 out of a total number of 5,361 articles.

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See Assessment)

To recruit more active editors (See Member News)

To bring our top level article Yorkshire ↗ up to Featured article ↗ status

To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article ↗ status

To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive

To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford ↗ • Doncaster ↗ • East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ • Henry Moore ↗ • Kingston upon Hull ↗ • Leeds ↗ • Northern England ↗ • North Yorkshire ↗ • Ripon ↗ • Sheffield ↗ • South Yorkshire ↗ • Wakefield ↗ • West Yorkshire ↗ • William Wilberforce ↗ • York ↗ • Yorkshire ↗ • Yorkshire and the Humber ↗

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

;'''Happy Christmas'''
It is the festive time of the year so a happy Christmas to all members of the project. At this time some of the regulars are away so it is more important that those who are available look out for vandalism on articles that are supported by the project. We need to guard all of the hard work of members, also keep an eye out for those article been nominated for deletion so none are lost unnecessarily.

None of the Venezuelan air base expand-links work?

Gavbadger, you have created several articles about Venezuelan air bases, but none of the {{tl|expand}} links to spanish Wikipedia seem to work? For example Lieutenant Colonel Teófilo Luis Méndez Air Base ↗ links to :es:Base Aérea Teniente Coronel Teófilo Luis Méndez ↗, but there is no such article. MKFI (talk) 08:41, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
: Ah, sorry about that, I've removed all the non-working ones. I used a template i made, to create the articles reducing repetitive text input and incorrectly assumed that the Spanish Wikipedia already had the articles. Apologies. Gavbadger (talk) 15:12, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

RAF Zerqa

Hello Gavbadger, do you have any idea if RAF Zerqa ↗ truly functioned as a RAF station? I found a collection of photographs from the airfield, which only referred to it as Dawson Field. I haven’t found any mention of such on a squadron book under Dawson Field or RAF Zerqa. One user-sourced website recons it was established in 1926, but I couldn’t find any better sources to back that claim. Bollardant (talk) 05:08, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

;'''Deprecating archive.today'''
Links to <code>archive.today</code> and other site from this family have been deprecated and are to be blacklisted as per this discussion ↗. Any articles that contain these sites as archives for web sites should be removed and replaced when you come across them. There is information on what to do at Wikipedia:archive.today guidance ↗. A quick search shows there are over 6,000 articles using <code>archive.today</code> links that include the word Yorkshire, not all will be relevant to the project but a sizable task, especially as some articles will contain a number of instances of these links. Would be worth conentrating on our featured and good articles first.

As a first off response to the situation, the cite templates are being changed this weekend to not display the links to these sites.

RAF substations

Ok, so we have a difference of opinion at RAF Wratting Common ↗. But it might spread to affect other articles that you have an interest in, so let's talk.

My argument is that describing RAF Wratting Common as an '''RAF substation''' is obscure, misleading and undefined. I will also throw in MOS:JARGON ↗.

A search on the internet for ''RAF substations'' gives us results at almost every current base, but it's the sort of substation ↗ that keeps the lights burning and makes the tea nice and hot.

A search on Wikipedia for ''RAF substations'' comes up with 16 hits, only one of which identifies the site primarily as a "substation", that site being RAF Wratting Common. In every other case, the site is identified firstly as a ''bona fide '' RAF Station ↗, with a proper, viable blue wikilink. The infobox then goes on to add that the site was a "substation", adding qualifications such as the dates this applied. This has not been done at RAF Wratting Common.

There is no wikilink for RAF Substation ↗, which tells us something.

Your claim that ''ABCT website lists it at substation of Stradishall'' is curious, because at Wratting Common it says absolutely nothing to that effect. It is barely mentioned at Stradishall, but the omission at Wratting is somewhat significant.

Furthermore, whilst I totally support ABCT in their endeavours to raise awareness and preserve old airfields, they are not the most reliable of sources. I still wish them well, but I won't add more here, unless you push the matter.

It would be far more significant to hear what ''Falconer (2012)'' says on the matter. I assume you have access to a copy; please enlighten me.

Or perhaps ''Bowyer (Action Stations, 1985)''? Try pages 222 & 223.

The internet, apart from ABCT, is somewhat silent on this matter.

Royal Air Force station ↗ says the following; {{quote|''Bases that the RAF have owned and operated can be labelled as airfields, relief landing grounds, satellite stations, support stations, radar bases (or latterly, remote radar heads), training establishments, seaplane bases, bombing ranges, ammunition dumps, communication bases and RAF Hospitals''.}}

It is a long list, but there is one category notably absent, ''from the entire article.''

@Gavbadger I have tremendous respect for the thousands of edits you have contributed to Wikipedia over many, many years, to the extent that I don't feel entirely comfortable arguing against you. But equally, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting it pass.

p.s. I never doubted that Wratting Common was a "sub-station" at some point in its existence, but it deserves more than that as a title. As for the dates it was a "sub" for Stradishall - I have April 1943 to November 1944, but don't quote me on that.

; Project News

Welcome to the 219th WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ monthly newsletter.

Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 21,830 last month to 21,946 on 29 June 2026). In the area of GAs WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ at 249 is ahead of WikiProject Greater Manchester ↗ who have 89. WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ also has the lead in FAs at 101 while WikiProject Greater Manchester ↗ has 66 out of a total number of 5,911 articles.

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See Assessment)

To recruit more active editors (See Member News)

To bring our top level article Yorkshire ↗ up to Featured article ↗ status

To bring all other top priority articles (currently 19 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article ↗ status

To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive

To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford ↗ • Charlotte Brontë ↗ • Count Dracula ↗ • Doncaster ↗ • East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ • Henry Moore ↗ • Kingston upon Hull ↗ • Leeds ↗ • Northern England ↗ • North Yorkshire ↗ • Ripon ↗ • Sheffield ↗ • South Yorkshire ↗ • Wakefield ↗ • West Yorkshire ↗ • William Wilberforce ↗ • York ↗ • Yorkshire ↗ • Yorkshire and the Humber ↗

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

; '''Please bear in mind...'''

File:Imbox style.png ↗The project is subscribed to a '''clean-up listing''' ↗ which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis, usually on a Tuesday.

''Monitoring is essential''<br />Use the watchlist ↗ to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.

''Moves''<br />Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.
