Nice edits at Austen

edit

Your nice edits at Jane Austen looked useful and I have recently added a new section on Themes to the article with an eye to improving the biography. There is currently a nice article on the British author Ian Fleming which looked well-crafted and I was wondering if you might have any comments on the relative quality of the Austen article at this time if you have a chance to glance at it. Cheers. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 17:29, 23 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hmm... it turns out your constant editing to Light fighter are better than I thought. It turns out you are actually removing POV material and unencyclopedic content for example, so that's good. I should've checked more thoroughly. -- AI RPer (talk) 00:09, 7 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

For your contributions to Light fighter that may seem crazy to the untrained eye but overall good since your persistent editing helps make the article more neutral and encyclopedic. -- AI RPer (talk) 00:10, 7 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

I went ahead and fixed the reference for you and fixed the Youtube video, I'm not sure if it was you, not logging in, who changed the time of the video start, but that cleared up the confusion. I'm really not sure if Youtube is even a reliable reference to be honest. Sorry for all of the rollbacks, I just didn't have time to fix it myself at the time, but I knew it wasn't right.

de Havilland Mosquito

edit
Hello, I noticed you have made several edits to de Havilland Mosquito and was just wondering about a possible addition. When I see an article that includes things concerning speed: "fast transport", "fast bomber", "innovative high-speed aircraft", "faster than foreseeable enemy fighter aircraft" and "fast aircraft" I wonder why there is not content in the infobox such as: maximum speed= 275 mph (445 km/h) at 15,000 ft.? This sort of information becomes more than trivia when advanced multiple times in an article and I would think the speed of most aircraft articles something of importance to be able to quickly find.

Blockchain and cryptocurrency general sanctions alert

edit
Please read this notice carefully.

You are receiving this notice because you recently edited one or more pages relating to blockchain or cryptocurrencies topics. You have not done anything wrong. We just want to alert you that "general" sanctions are authorized for certain types of edits to those pages.

All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
