Good to see you back[edit]

For however long it may be. - ZLEA _T\^C 01:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm not sure how long it'll be either. We'll see. BilCat (talk) 01:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

whichever - it is good to see you here... JarrahTree 01:25, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I missed all those poor attempts at insulting me by the sock from down your way. Hilarious. It's nice to know I live free in his head. BilCat (talk) 01:34, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with JarrahTree. Welcome, be it a short or long stay. -- Euryalus (talk) 01:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! BilCat (talk) 01:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, glad to see you back. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 16:33, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've slowed down a little the past couple weeks, but we'll see how it goes for the next few. BilCat (talk) 00:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sikorsky S-72[edit]

If it’s not proper to link the Sikorsky S-72’s emergency extraction system to ejection seat, a brief explanation of the difference on the page would be nice. RickyCourtney (talk) 03:50, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh this is rather good ...[edit]

So nicely put! Cheers DBaK (talk) 10:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Know-it-all IPs rub me the wrong way. BilCat (talk) 00:01, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-----
-* '''For matters related to article content, "use the article's talk page"''' (most likely on my watchlist), or use the relevant Wiki project talk page (use these for questions, requests for help or advice, etc). That's the intended purpose of these pages and will get more attention from others. Out of place posts may be removed or moved to a more appropriate talk page. Please use this page only for personal and general comments.
-* ('''Note:''' If you insist on posting a comment here instead of an article's talk page, please at least do me the courtesy of linking to that article. I make hundreds of edits per week, and I can't recall most of them without a direct link to the relevant article or talk page. I'm not going to spend my time trying to figure out what article you're commenting about, especially as you already know which one it is, and could've easily told me, but didn't.)
-----
-* '''Keep conversations together''' - I will reply to posts on the talk page where the conversation starts.
-----
-* Do not take offense if I make changes to edits you've made to articles. Note the warning on each edit screen: "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I may revert unexplained (no edit summary) edits that ''appear'' unhelpful. To prevent this, provide edit summaries with understandable reason(s) to explain your intent or purpose.
-----
-* Edits where cited text is changed may be reverted, since that violates Wikipedia's [[WP:Verifiability|Verifiability Policy]]. Please provide a reference when you make additions or changes.
-----
-* Personal attacks will be removed. Unfair and improper criticism will be ignored or removed. Do your best to make your point without writing paragraphs and paragraphs of text. Excessively long posts will probably be ignored and removed to save space. Retaliatory warnings will be removed and reported as harassment.
-----
-* If your posts here are removed, please do '''not''' restore them for '''any''' reason.
-----
-* ''Experienced editors'' are welcome to reply to posts here if they do so nicely.<!-- Based on similar message on User:Oshwah's talk page, thanks. --> They are also welcome to remove vandalism or non-constructive posts. If I disagree, I'll simply restore them, so don't take that personally.
-----
-* Add posts to the relevant section or start a new section at the ''bottom''.  Thanks.

-Hi Bill, Just to let you know that as of today I am done with editing Wikipedia, for reasons that are well explained on my talk page. It has been great working with you for almost two decades. You are one of the few people left here whom I will miss. If you feel like dropping me a line you can reach me at wikieditor07.sca9z@ncf.ca Same goes for any other Wiki friends here who are watching your page. - [[User:Ahunt|Ahunt]] ([[User talk:Ahunt|talk]]) 00:13, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

-== Edit of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_Interdiction_Tactical_Squadron ==
+== Oh this is rather good ... ==
-Hello Bill. You recently did an edit to the Coast Guard HITRON page I had edited and you stated no source stated. The problem is, the “only” source available are the actual people, such as myself, that actually built the unit up from ground zero. Their were only 10 of us, be happy to have a “second” of one of the other plank owner members back me up on any and all info I add to this page, as, not to boast, I am a subject matter expert on. Please do me the courtesy and contact me direct on this request. I anm older now annd a dinosaur when it comes to a lot of computer and Wiki protocols so please, not to excuse my lack of this knowledge, but trying the best I can do as I always do through a 32yr military career. Appreciate your time. Charlie [[User:H10Plank|H10Plank]] ([[User talk:H10Plank|talk]]) 02:07, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

-Mixed up the before and after on the [[Gimli Glider]] edit. Mea culpa, thanks for the fix. –[[User:IagoQnsi|<span style="color:#a00;">Iago</span><span style="color:#f50;">Qnsi</span>]] ([[User talk:IagoQnsi|{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}]]) 05:38, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
-:No worries. I've mixed up diffs plenty of times myself. At first I wasn't sure what had happened, but once I looked at you userpage, talk page, and recent contributions, I figured it was probably a mistake. I just made my edit as clear as possible (on then second try!), and moved on. I'm glad that you realized your mistake, and that you let me know. Take care.
