Ship's honours

edit

At least in the Canadian military, and I believe also in others with British traditions, the battle honours, souvenirs and usually the unit's motto are passed to successor units bearing the same name. The successor unit thus keeps alive the predecessor's accomplishments. This even extends to units which are dis-established and later re-established. Battle standards, ship's bells, etc may be laid up in museums or churches for many years or decades in the interim. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:58, 13 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Avro Canada expansions

edit

Hi Rr,

I was wondering about some of the claims recently posted in the Avro Canada article. Many of them seem counterfactual and some are even contradicting themselves. I'd like to work through these with you, what is the source?

Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:49, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Maury, I apologize for taking so much time in responding but I just saw your message today. I will be happy to work through any issues and correct any contradictions. Items I contributed have generally been referenced in line, or sourced from the books and articles in the bibliography (I believe that is the title used in this article). Please push back and see if we can't improve this old article even more. I will keep a closer eye on this page. Cheers.

Justin Trudeau

I didn't remove a quote from the article. User:Patar knight did, and I subsequently removed an inappropriate category that he had added the article to shortly before he removed the quote. I'm personally inclined to believe that he was correct, as it's a fairly trivial quote which doesn't add anything of any tremendous value to the article, but I didn't remove it and I have no intention of getting involved in any discussion about whether it belongs there or not.

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada

edit

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I don't understand the points you made.

The F/A-18 E/F nor any of the other F/A-18 variants are Boeing aircraft other than that the production or prior production by McDonnell Douglas was inherited when the Boeing MDC mergor occured. This is also true of the AV8B Harrier, the C17 Globemaster III, the Tomahawk Missile, SLAMMER (Standoff Land Attack Missile Extended Range) and many others. Tomahawk production had ceased prior to the merger so, it is not a Boeing Missile. The heritage of all these products is McDonnell-Douglas and most of the aircraft in question were actually manufactured and deployed well BEFORE the merger.

The same situation exists with the MD80, MD85, and other civilian aircraft.

What is the "Neutral Position on this?"

Should the entire wikipedia article BOEING F/A-18 be Renamed McDonnell-Douglas F/A-18 and a gutted BOEING F/A-18 article that has a reference link to McDonnell-Douglas F/A-18 along with the appropriate explanation of the history of the aircraft - an explanation as it were - wouldn't these be the most appropriate edits for most or all of these aircraft and missiles?
