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)[reply]

See Talk:Affordaplane, article problems are discussed on their talk pages. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 13:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

		The Good Article Rescue Barnstar
		This is presented to you by the GAR process in recognition of your sterling work in helping Concorde retain its Good Article status. Please feel free to display the GA icon on your userpage. Keep up the good work! ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:23, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yay, thanks, good news, it's never a good feeling to watch articles slide down the quality scale. Cheers. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 17:52, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So in which aircraft-engine category would you put aircraft with Wankel engines? Uli Elch (talk) 17:58, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wankel-engined aircraft. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 18:00, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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. Hope that helps. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 19:59, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that clears the things up, thanks a lot. Have a good day. TheMoonLaw (talk) 22:27, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
