Hi did you take this photo?Genisock2 00:52, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I did. I was part of Dieter's group that toured the USS Constellation that day. Skeet Shooter 13:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC) I wish I had taken some better photos of Dieter, but I thought this one would be better than none at all. An earlier photo someone placed in the info box was removed due to license issues, and a replacement photo was requested. Skeet Shooter 13:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Test pilot school FLC

Hey SS, I closed your FLC and then went away for the weekend so sorry for not getting back to you sooner. There seemed to be a fair few bits and pieces to sort out so I would suggest resolving them and resubmitting the FLC. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 14:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Skeet. Yes my concerns appear to have been addressed. I would recommend you address the comments outstanding on its talk page though before bringing it back to FLC. Hope to see it soon, Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

David Cooley

Hi, i hope you don't mind me editing a few items on David Cooley. I reconstructed some parts of the structure to create a hook. I nominated your work to DYK. --Maverx (talk) 06:03, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem on the edits, Maverx, and thanks for the nomination to DYK. Skeet Shooter (talk) 12:41, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I read the nomination to DYK and agree with Dravecky that a new hook is needed. Perhaps that Cooley was the chief test pilot for the F-117. Skeet Shooter (talk) 13:14, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

DYK for David P. Cooley

On May 30, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article David P. Cooley, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Dravecky (talk) 08:21, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Skeet Shooter, my friend, I was amazed to see the fine Wikipedia bio that you apparently installed for me. I took the liberty of making some small corrections (XP-46 to P-36, the fact that my wife Jeanne died and that I had remarried) but otherwise, I'm very impressed and pleased.

All the best Wboyne (talk) 16:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC) Walter Boyne

Thank you very much, Walter. It was a pleasure to write the article on you and learn more about your many outstanding accomplishments. Whenever I receive my copy of Air Force magazine, the first thing I do is open to the last page and read Air Power Classics. Keep up the great work! Skeet Shooter (talk) 19:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Skeet--ditto from me. The article is outstanding and a pleasure to read. I humbly share a purpose with Col. Boyne: remembering, writing about, and educating others about the accomplishments of the little-known in USAF history. To that end I invite you to critique and improve any article I've begun. --Reedmalloy (talk) 16:41, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Reedmalloy. That is high praise indeed coming from someone who has made so many impressive contributions to Wiki. Thank you also for the invitation to review/comment, and I will try to do so. I would also appreciate your comments and improvements to my articles. Skeet Shooter (talk) 03:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:49, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

George J. Marrett

Mr. Marrett is certainly a former USAF officer, Vietnam veteran, excellent author. However, I do not think we can call him a retired USAF officer. He resigned after 10 years and does not receive any retirement benefits. Other than that the post for him looks good.

My father, Stuart Silver, flew Jolly Greens out of NKP and is mentioned several times in Cheating Death. I have some questions for Mr. Marrett and wonder if you have any contact with him. My father passed away in 1986 and I know so little about his tour in SEA. My email address is knsilver54@gmail.com.

Keith Silver66.58.220.18 (talk) 01:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Nice to hear from you, Keith, and thank you for your comments. I was able to find a reference in Testing Death to support your clarification and updated the Wiki article on George. I'm sorry to hear of your father's passing. I'll contact you via email. Skeet Shooter (talk) 13:56, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Wm Harbison

Skeet shooter Let me apoligize. I was looking for the title in the cite reference and kinda over looked yout reference section (towards the end of a 24 hour shift, again sorry). I do not really see why this article can not be a B class and I will rate as thus. If you can build some info on this man's early year (birthplace,college, etc etc). I think this article could be pushed up to a higher class. Thats what I enjoy about editing is finding these interesting people & helping the writers along. Theirs a lot out there on American aces from Korean war but myself did not realize that the Brits had fighter pilots there also. Keep up the good work.Oldwildbill (talk) 17:50, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem, Oldwildbill. Thank you for taking the time to review the article and offer suggestions. I wasn't able to find anything on Harbison's early years yet, but I'll keep searching. Many thanks! Skeet Shooter (talk) 18:42, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Question about Bob Hoover's wrong fuel accident at Humanities reference desk

Hi Skeet Shooter,
I asked a question on the humanities desk (7th of october, in case you read this after it's archived), about an anecdote about Bob Hoover, that is cited by Dale Carnegie in his notorious book How to win friends and influence people.

Nomination of Art Nalls for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Art Nalls is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Art Nalls until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 06:48, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Art Nalls

Hi. I was in the process of responding at AfD, and it was closed. The medal isn't an issue, it's the commentary. Phrases like "that fans might otherwise not be able to enjoy", "his group of like-minded pilots and maintainers", "He had a reputation as a maverick", and such. The article is chock full of them. Just report facts, get rid of opinion and color commentary. I hope that helps. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:01, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi One|5969. I see what you mean now - thanks. But those weren't my opinions. I was trying to report the facts as stated in the sources. For example, the "reputation as a maverick" was a paraphrase of "indulging his quirky Do-It-Youself sensibility" from the Popular Mechanics article. Similar words were in The Washington Post article as well. Should such an observation not be stated or should I add a phrase such as, "According to the The Washington Post," to make clear the source of the opinion? I'll look through the Wiki guidelines, but I would appreciate your thoughts on how this situation should be handled. Thanks, Skeet Shooter (talk) 23:59, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

I re-read WP:NPOV and think I see what you and the other editors were saying. I'll try to rework the text. Thanks, Skeet Shooter (talk) 12:14, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oliver R. Crawford

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Oliver R. Crawford, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dave Cooley

Hello Skeet Shooter,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Dave Cooley for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 03:25, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Gathering of Eagles

Back in 2008 you brought some information about the Gathering of Eagles program into the biography of Fred Ascani. You included that information along with other honors. I think it quite appropriate.

Recently, IP 96.27.161.210 from Montgomery, Alabama (near Maxwell AFB) has been adding lots and lots of nearly identical sentences to pilot biographies, saying that the pilot was honored in the Gathering of Eagles. I have been reverting this person per WP:REFSPAM], as overly promotional to the program rather than helpful to the encyclopedia, but in some cases I'm sure the information can be brought into a biography along with other honors, so that it's not just about the one program. Can you take a look this guy's contributions and see if you are interested in giving some of the biographies more of a broad base of honors? Cheers. Binksternet (talk) 15:59, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bink. I'd be happy to help expand the honors on these articles. Thank you for bringing it up. V/R, Skeet Shooter (talk) 16:55, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Edward L. Feightner

You're (kind of) right - Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Names is perhaps more useful. GiantSnowman 17:05, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

OK, thanks. It sounds like you are OK if I change the article back to include Feightner’s call sign, so I’ll do so. Skeet Shooter (talk) 19:05, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
