Basic mistake within definition of parasite drag and its coefficient.



Hi, Nimbus227; I abide by your notice, and I apologize. I am new dealing with Wikipedia. My intent was to point to a basic problem in a basic definition of the parasite drag coefficient CDo of an aircraft that yields misleading results. This issue derives from using the wing area as a reference area (bad) instead of frontal area (ggod). I thought I could rely on Wikipedia to highlight this point, and you have proved me wrong. I will have to find other more conventional means to do so (peer-reviewed academic papers). My background is in aerodynamics, and you may google "burgers" and "normalized lift" for more information on this topic. Again, my apologies and thanks, Nimbus227.

:Hi, there's no need to contact me here, most editors place articles (which includes talk pages) on their watchlist ↗, that's why I was alerted that there was a new comment. Full talk page guidelines are here ↗, this template ↗ has links to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. You still seem unhappy with the article, your post appeared to only criticise text books on the subject and not the article. If you believe there is an omission in the article you can highlight that directly on the talk page with the proposal of how to remedy it or you can edit the article yourself ↗, citing ↗ your source(s) ↗. If the community ↗ agrees with the change then it will be kept, if not it might be reverted ↗. Some blue links there that hopefully help to explain how it all works.

Maybe you can inform me why my edits are being undone, I have used citations, and links and edit was removed. I removed links a citations and it was removed again. All information is true and correct so what is the issue with updating the content? 2601:2C1:C200:7090:34D9:F1F1:A52C:C34E ↗ (talk) 13:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey, do you think it is worth it to add "Mig-19" in media? It's quite an interesting topic. Should I do it like this?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_F-5#Notable_appearances_in_media ? TheMoonLaw (talk) 19:14, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

:These sections are generally not recommended by the aircraft project ↗, aircraft in fiction ↗ was created at a point where these sections had spiralled out of control (endless unsourced trivia). There is an essay on these sections at Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content ↗. There is also Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections ↗. I don't add them myself and leave established sections where the entry is super notable ↗, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat ↗ has 'Notable appearances in media', mainly related to Top Gun ↗, there are eight citations in that section.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026 ↗

'''Backlog update'''

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

'''2024 and 2025 NPP Awards'''

74px|left ↗{{no ping|JTtheOG}} was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.
{{no ping|Hey man im josh}} and {{no ping|MPGuy2824}} won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

{{no ping|BoyTheKingCanDance}}, {{no ping|Rosiestep}}, {{no ping|SunDawn}}, and {{no ping|Vanderwaalforces}} were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame ↗ for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

'''January–February backlog drive'''

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to {{no ping|JTtheOG}}, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

'''May backlog drive'''

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026 ↗.

'''PageTriage'''

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed ↗ to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket ↗ if you're interested in following along.
