Hello there Sam, I'd like to discuss with you about the summary of the crash of Flight 603. I would like to ask why spatial disorientation? I believe it was a factor of the accident as the crew did not know what their airspeed was or their altitude? I am just wondering thats all and i'd like to have a friendly conversation about it that's all. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 16:05, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @OrbitalEnd48401:, Thanks for your note here. Spatial disorientation is defined as the inability of a pilot to correctly interpret aircraft attitude, altitude or airspeed in relation to the Earth or other points of reference, which in broad terms may apply to Aeroperú Flight 603 but a loss of Situation awareness followed by controlled flight into terrain (or water in this case) is a better fit for the summary of this accident. The John F. Kennedy Jr. plane crash is a good example of a pilot affected by spatial disorientation while in control of an aircraft with fully functioning instruments. The crew of Aeroperú Flight 603 received confusing/false data from their instruments but were they suffering from spatial disorientation? They had functioning attitude indicators with the GPWS and radar altimeter also working. I firmly believe the aircraft could have been saved if the crew would have used these. Spatial disorientation is not mentioned anywhere in the official accident report but a lack of situation awareness is. Cheers and happy editing- Samf4u (talk) 17:18, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I’m mumtaz pls stop annoying me thx bye ♥

Thank you for adding that image and caption. However, even though the image you added is an LET L-410 Turbolet, that was not the aircraft involved. Its registration is HK-4146, not HK-4161. In addition, the aircraft was not in West Caribbean Airways livery and the phot was uploaded after the crash.. This is actual aircraft involved: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/424009 Tigerdude9 (talk) 20:44, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tigerdude9, you are correct. Thanks for catching my mistake. - Samf4u (talk) 14:24, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Sam! Good seeing you, I appreciate so much with what you’ve done with aeroperu 603, it’s the accident that I’m most interested in. Anyways, I included it in the list of planes that have CFIT. But a user removed it as they claimed it wasn’t a CFIT accident. Well it is after your conclusion and I back you up 10000%. Anyways if you cold that’ll be ace.

Also good news! I left another talk message on Aeroperú 603 as I found the CVR on YouTube so I was thinking if we should include a link to it so viewers can listen to it. Links still there if you’d like to listen to it and to back your CFIT theory up. Thanks Alex :)

OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 22:41, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Say also, could you describe what these are and the difference please? Spatial disorientation and situation awareness? Thanks Alex :) OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 22:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @OrbitalEnd48401:, While Aeroperú Flight 603 falls under CFIT I don't think it should be listed in the Controlled flight into terrain article because the crux of that accident is the tape on the Pitot-static system, unlike a "pure" CFIT like Air New Zealand Flight 901.

Study the whole report here https://www.skybrary.aero/bookshelf/books/1719.pdf if you have not already done so.

I want to be very clear here: That Aeroperú Flight 603 falls under CFIT is not my theory, it is a fact that I found in the accident report. Please always remember this project is an encyclopedia based on reliable sources and no original research is allowed. See Wikipedia:NOR. I see you have been warned about this in the past. Please be careful. As far as the difference between spatial disorientation and situation awareness I already explained my thoughts on that, see above. - Samf4u (talk) 19:02, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did read that report you linked on the talk page which is why I supported you on that issue. Regarding the incident of the accident I have read a lot on it so links to u info regarding the crash are not needed but thanks.

And I’ve made my own notes on both spatial disorientation and situation awareness. Thanks for the help man

Hey Sam, I was wondering if I can include the CVR? See the pages talk page for details. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 09:38, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @OrbitalEnd48401:, Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, I've been out of town with very limited internet access. Concerning adding the CVR recording from Youtube to Aeroperú Flight 603: That was added to the article sometime before June of 2011 under the "External links" section at the bottom beneath the "References" section.

May I ask a favor from you? Could you slow down a little and make sure your edits are free of mistakes and learn more about how we do things here. I can see you are anxious to help but honestly you're ruffling a few feathers. A great place for you to start would be to read and fully understand WikiProject Aviation Style guide and Layout of Accidents. If you have any questions please drop me a line here, thanks. - Samf4u (talk) 20:49, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sam, I think your revert there was rather bitey, seeing as it would've been relatively easy to fix that user's mistake, which I more or less did before noticing your edit. At least it would have been easier to fix than that user's other edit. Graham87 07:32, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Graham87:, I agree, perhaps I was a bit hasty. I've left a welcome message on the IP's talk page to smooth things over. Cheers - Samf4u (talk) 13:19, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Sam no worries man. Thanks for being really polite me. Just in case I haven’t said. I have autism so I struggle to understand things at times. But aeroperu 603 is personal to me that’s all which is why I work really hard on it that’s all. But yes I do have a questions. Do you trust the ASN database?

Hi Samf4u, I have been editing the Wikipedia article about Heerema Marine Contractors and I have only added information with refs, added a photo and have removed edits without any refs. However, a user called Ddalgleish is constantly deleting and reverting all edits without going into discussion about it with anyone. Ddalgleish has also left a rather aggressive and rude message on my own talk page. Ddalgleish has also reverted your edits in the article and Ddalgleish has also deleted your message on his own talk page. It seem like Ddalgleish is trying to delete all information about the Nazi history of Heerema Marine Contractors. Would you be able to protect this article from Ddalgleish? Thanks--Jrmikedome (talk) 20:29, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jrmikedome:, Let me start by saying my revert at Heerema Marine Contractors was done strictly as anti-vandalism, as I noted the page had been blanked and that is almost always vandalism. I am not an administrator and can't protect any articles. Regarding the removal of warning templates: Any editor may remove a warning from his own talk page. I'd advise discussing the differences you two are having, preferably on the articles talk page. You could also start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history.

Hi Samf4u. Regarding your reversion of my change to Den vassa eggen, is there a better word we could use for the Swedish word "pukor"? "Timpani" (the word I used) is a direct translation. Maybe "tom toms" would be more accurate? I'm helping out with the Wikipedia:Typo Team and the spelling scanner is choking on "pukor." Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jenniferz (talk • contribs) 04:52, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jenniferz:, Thanks for your note here. My revert of your edit was a mistake on my part as I mistook it as vandalism, please accept my apology.

Hey Eric I just started a page on Ran Ronen-Pekker and was hoping you could take a look at it (I’m pinging a few other editors too). There’s a dearth of online English language sources for him, so I pulled a lot of it from books, Hebrew websites, and his Hebrew Wikipedia page. I think the work needed is as follows: 1) Sourcing. I’m pretty sure everything on the page as of now is factual. If there is no ref, I probably got it either from a source which isn’t too reliable, or the Hebrew page. please help find a source as opposed to simply removing it. 2) Restructuring. 3) Clarification of the various bodies and organizations mentioned. I.e., squadrons and officer ranks might have a more correct English term for them. 4) wikilinking. 5) naming. In Hebrew most mention him as Ran Pekker. In English it’s usually Ran Ronen. 6) formatting Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated! Hydromania (talk) 03:22, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Samf4u, thanks for helping to deal with the now-blocked editor in the Kebab Turki Baba Rafi article. I just wanted to point out though, that what they were doing was not vandalism, which is a malicious and deliberate intention to damage Wikipedia. Editors who are edit-warring and pushing an unsourced POV or their own interests (as this user was), even if they disregard any and all content and behavior policies, are nevertheless not vandalizing. It's important to make that distinction if you're using Huggle/Rollback to revert edits without an edit summary, and especially if you revert multiple times. It means that you actually broke the three-revert rule today, and technically could have been blocked yourself for edit warring... For the same reason, it would have been better to use the "disruptive" warning template instead of "vandalism". Just something to keep in mind in the future, and thanks for your understanding. --IamNotU (talk) 17:41, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @IamNotU:, Thanks for your note here. I understand the difference between vandalism and disruptive editing. I just discovered that when using Huggle it is possible to revert an edit and leave a custom edit summary. From now on I'll use this function if I feel the edit is disruptive and not vandalism. Cheers Samf4u (talk) 20:46, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While writing this, I happened to notice some complaints above, about the use of rollback without edit summaries, and leaving vandalism templates, for problems such as grammar errors. Maybe you know this already, but instead of using the "revert and warn user" button in Huggle, I think you could avoid these complaints by using the "revert edit" button, and use the drop-down arrow to select an appropriate edit summary. This should be used when reverting good-faith edits that have errors. That way you avoid leaving unnecessary vandalism warnings that could upset the user, and could add up and get them in trouble. "Revert and warn user" with the default vandalism warning should only be used for intentionally destructive vandalism and nonsense edits. In the case where it's not clear whether a nonsense edit is malicious or just a mistake, you can use the drop-down arrow on the "revert and warn user" button to select the "test edits" template, or for edits that are unsourced POV-pushing, the "unsourced" template, and so on. I hope this helps... Your anti-vandalism work is much appreciated, and you definitely deserve the barnstars you've been awarded for it! --IamNotU (talk) 20:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for the info on Huggle usage. From now on I'll follow your guidelines. Samf4u (talk) 20:47, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You might have already seen this on the the talk page, but I agree with you about how we should keep the CVR transcript. I posted a lengthy response, but no one has responded back. Could they be thinking it over? Tigerdude9 (talk) 16:06, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tigerdude9:, Will have to give it more time and see if anyone has more comments. If you wanted to take the time to work on a different format for the CVR in your sandbox you could present that on the talk page and see if you get any reaction. Good luck and thanks for your contributions. - Samf4u (talk) 17:20, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Samf4u: I finally made a better version of the transcript. It will be collapsible so it doesn't take up the whole article, and the commentary in italics has been removed (though I have another version where I kept the commentary):

How does it look? Also, you're welcome for my contributions. Tigerdude9 (talk) 16:36, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tigerdude9: I like that it's collapsible but I'm afraid we won't get a consensus to add it to the article as it is quite similar to what got removed. Take a look at United Airlines Flight 93 starting with the "Hijacking" section. See how the transcript is woven into the text? That's what we need here. Reference #13 of Aeroflot Flight 593 is the complete accident report in Russian. If we could translate it there may be enough detail to mimic the United Airlines Flight 93 article. Keep in mind this only my opinion. - Samf4u (talk) 19:41, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you just take a little more care when reverting edits using Huggle. This and this while they might have removed some sub-optimal promotional material re-introduced an uncited BLP issue regarding the subject.

Eric,

Hi! I'm not sure what "reliable source" to use when speaking of the sale of this home in 1946 by my great-aunt, Martha Ellison Gilman. I'd like to know what the "reliable source" was for the original citation that the home passed out of the family in 1929.'Bold text' In that year, 3 of the 4 children of Charles Jervis Gilman were still living in the home - Charles Ashburton, Elizabeth Jervis, and Mary Gardiner. The eldest, David Dunlap Gilman, had died in December 1914, six months after Martha married Charles in her home town of Richmond, VA. My grandmother and mother moved into the home in 1936. Charles died 8-8-1937, Elizabeth died 12-18-1938 and Mary, who had been head librarian of the Curtis Memoral Library in Brunswick for 41 years, died 10-7-1940. None of Charles Jervis Gilman's 4 children had children of their own, so the home was inherited by Martha. I do have a copy of Mary's will stating such. As the trust of Gardiner Gilman of New Hampshire, which had supported the four siblings, ceased upon Mary's death, Martha maintained the home as long as she could. She held two auctions of the furnishings and then sold the home in 1946. I do not have a bill of sale but I do have newspaper articles advertising the sale. Unfortunately, these are packed for our upcoming move from Missouri to Delaware on March 20.

Yes, after the sale this house was turned into apartments. It is a sad sight today. The stately grounds are gone. A line of trees has been planted right up to the former front door and a house has been built immediately on the other side. The flower and vegetable gardens have been replaced by a parking area for the tenants. The house is in poor condition. My father attended Bowdoin College so I have had many occasions to see the home over the years, most recently in 2016 when we scattered some of my mother's ashes at Saganook, the summer home on Casco Bay which Martha owned from 1922-1946. 1946 was a tramatic year for my mother, losing both of the homes with which she was most familiar.

Please advise - Charlotte Sandquist PhillipsDtrofspandex (talk) 12:30, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charlotte/@Dtrofspandex:, Thanks for the information about your family and the John Dunlap House. The 1929 date came from From the Falls to the Bay: A tour of historic Brunswick, Maine, its reference number 3 in the John Dunlap House article. I searched for more info about your family and the John Dunlap House aka Gilman Mansion but did not find much. If we could find any reliable, third-party, published sources we could amend the article reflecting on what those sources say. If you do find them I can help you with adding the inline citations. You might try finding some of the books listed in the bibliography section at the bottom of From the Falls to the Bay: A tour of historic Brunswick, Maine. There is also the Pejepscot Historical Society and the National Register of Historic Places listings in Portland, Maine. The correct info is out there and when you find it I'll be more than happy to help improve the article. Good luck. - Samf4u (talk) 13:49, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You all dislike the way I edit on Wikipedia, when it comes to the way I’ve done summaries, dates and rewording stuff. Look I do not ignore you, I see some now I say some of the advice you give me is were I disagree, I always stood by reliability, I always have, yes I keep summaries short and I tend to try and make them in order whenever possible, but I’d like to open a discussion about my recommendations as I feel like A) the wording of some stuff does not sound right when you say it out loud. B) the way captions are done on images, I think they should be done as: registration, aircraft involved / similar and then month and year. C) summaries should not be very vague saying Crahsed on landing for example. It doesn’t state why it happened or what caused it. As with just about every accident you have a reason on what caused said accident. I love being here don’t get me wrong, but I was a huge user before I joined as my courses at college relied on your references and info. And countless times there are things that are worded correctly, I find this frustrating as yes it should be in clear English, but there are the same pages made in a different language. Look my autism is not making a mess, as I am very observant when something is out of order, why don’t I voice my opinion on the talk page? Because all I get is it’s always be like that and I would like to hold some kind of big discussion, it might seem impossible but I can’t keep my mind off some the things that sound incorrect. Please understand I am not here to be a pain or make you all think I’m taking the crap. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 18:22, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Samf4u: Hi Sam, look I know we’ve gotten into some heat lately but I’d like your help regarding another contributor trying to mess around with the summary of Aeroméxico connect 2431.

Hello Samf4u, The edits made on Paul_Kuhr were researched, annotated, and public information, and part of a story that makes his lyrics what they are, and topical to the artist and his band. I have also reached out to the artist and specifically asked if he was OK with these additions, and he was. Feel free to do the same if you need his approval. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heavy Metal Archives (talk • contribs) 02:21, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Samf4u:The aircraft part is missing from the infobox. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 12:35, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be able to sort it out possibly today? I am really stuck. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 14:07, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Because of the template chosen by the articles creator some infoboxes don't show "Aircraft". There's nothing really wrong with that. I'll do this one and if you come across others and would like to change them just look at the diff of my revision, it's quite easy. - Samf4u (talk) 16:29, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry. English is not my mother language. I don't speak and I don't understand English sentences. But I know the ancient Greeks pronounced the name "Anchises" actually: /aŋkʰíːsɛːs/ So I am assuming the article about the historic Anchises is maybe absolutely wrong. All readers should be given a warning of reading wrong information at wikipedia. Why can we read such incorrect pronunciations like /ænˈkaɪsiːz/ here? I think /ænˈkaɪsiːz/ is absolutely incorrect. Maybe /ɑːnˈkiːseɪz/ ist correct as well. Correct-44 (talk) 14:13, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Samf4u: So how are my edits unconstructive? Giving me an template does not instantly solve the sanswer? If you are past caring and are not bothering to talk to me why send thag? I’m here to discuss said unconstructive edits which let’s get it clear it is not unconstructive if there are edits just like it. To say it’s not beneficial when I’ve done it how many times before?

So I’ll make it nice and clear to you understand. Because if I’m such a disruptive editor I wouldn’t even be here, oh changing the date function and updating pages is disruptive. Well Sam I’ll make it clear to you, don’t even dare send me a message saying with the followe by lines ‘discuss on my talk page’ if you won’t disucss it. That’s incredibly annoying the fact that you provide no reason at. All. I can easily bring it up in incident talk page.

The facts were correct. 149 people died in that crash. Boeing manufactures the plane, the MAX, the one that was recalled worldwide due to the two crashes, the one this year, and the one last year. As of right now (17 June 2019), it is the deadliest incident of any kind in 2019 involving any aircraft, jet or otherwise (crash, error, terrorism, hijacking, etc.).

A radial engine has pistons arranged in a radial or circular pattern with pushrods and crankshaft. A rotary engine, also called a Wankel rotary engine has no pistons and no crankshaft. It has one or more often triangular rotors to turn a driveshaft with gear teeth instead. The radial engine was used in ww 1 airplanes. The rotary engine which did not exit until later was used in some Mazda cars such as the RX-7, and in some small helicopters. Thoughts of resulting confusion from the mixing of these terms is infuriating, after I set about correcting it and the problematic know-it-all uncorrected it all over again. Do you also call every V8 a Hemispherical engine or Hemi? I hope not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.252.16.121 (talk) 13:02, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to make edits as a new user. Here is the deal. The discovery for HD139139 was made by visual surveyors (citizen scientists) as written in the science paper. That should be part of this page. Sources for Andrew Vanderburg's comments for Earth Transit viewing from the star system was made by him via email. How do I give a citation for that?

It seems that I forgot to log in, when making this edit recently. I am only a constructive editor, and if I make changes it's usually based on confirmed facts within the existing reference/s of the article/s, as you would see if you looked further, instead of jumping to conclusions. Your recommendation to discuss them first on the talk page/s sounds fine in theory, but doesn't work in practice (which you can confirm with other editors "in the know"), if the article goes back in time i.e. years.

You may want to take a look at National Airlines Flight 102 where the ICAO# and the call sign have nothing in common. Also please remain civil at all times. Shouting on a users talk page is considered rude.

I have started a discussion concerning call sign nomenclature here, please join in if you like. - Samf4u (talk) 17:26, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Saying stuff like this when someone validly contests one of your many hasty redactions is rude.

In the process of reverting enormous amounts of vandalism I have made some errors, it comes with the territory. You are right, I should have been nicer to that IP. - Samf4u (talk) 17:05, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually a big problem with you. Will be keeping an eye on your edits. 165.225.38.30 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:42, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know from under what rock you have crawled my little friend, but please do watch and learn, as I will be watching you as well. - Samf4u (talk) 14:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not going to get into a pissing contest, as that shouldn't be what Wiki is about, but given the large percentage of your edits that get re-reverted, I don't think there is much to learn from you. I'm just passing along observations from admins, no rock crawled out from under. Have a good day, friend, and Happy Holidays! 165.225.38.30 (talk) 15:06, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

user:162.39.235.114 is already blocked, and she has the right to delete messages from her talkpage. CLCStudent (talk) 17:00, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CLCStudent I understand user/talk page rights. I was restoring undesirable results of using Huggle with this IP. Don't really see how such a proficient vandal has any rights here anyway. - Samf4u (talk) 17:10, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I added South Korea–United Kingdom relations since it was a Korean Air Aircraft which crashed in the United Kingdom and investigated by the AAIB. Also there are many articles of Aviation Accidents/Incidents that have Country1–Country2 relation categories

thanks for understanding,

	Recent Edit
	You recently notified me that an "edit" I'd made had been changed. The "edit" was an obvious typo. Not sure why you didn't realize that. Feel free to fix typos that people make, but please don't waste my time by letting my know that you fixed my change of "State Prison" to "Ugkskfjdsljfslj." Thanks. Eduardohutch (talk) 16:54, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Eduardohutch: What in the world are you talking about? The last edit you made before this on my talk page today was in Feb of 2017. Can you please show me what you are on about? Is it possibly an edit you made using an IP address? - Samf4u (talk) 17:04, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

G'day all, March Madness 2020 is about to get underway, and there is bling aplenty for those who want to get stuck into the backlog by way of tagging, assessing, updating, adding or improving resources and creating articles. If you haven't already signed up to participate, why not? The more the merrier! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:19, 29 February 2020 (UTC) for the coord team[reply]

Hi Samf4u. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 20:22, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Swarm. - Samf4u (talk) 19:42, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads-up that the other IP user re-vandalized the page almost immediately after your revert, and it stuck around for over a week. I've reverted it again but a block might be in order. 67.70.165.140 (talk) 01:56, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 67.70.165.140, Thanks for your note here and for reverting that vandalism. I've left a stronger worded warning on that IP's talk page and will keep an eye on their edits. Thanks! - Samf4u (talk) 14:50, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reverting the recent edit of Titanic II. There are two replica Titanic projects going on. The Romandisea Titanic is under construction in China, although it is proceeding very slowly. That one will be permanently moored in a reservoir and won't be going anywhere. The Clive Palmer project is intended to be an ocean-going vessel. It is not under construction but marine architectural firm Deltamarin says that they are still engaged in the project. A shipyard contract has not been announced. If curious you can review the Titanic II talk page with the editorial comments regarding the progress (more accurately, lack thereof) of this project. Blue Riband► 15:34, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blue Riband, Thanks for the info, I was not aware there are two Titanic projects. Cheers! - Samf4u (talk) 17:56, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Samf4u. I noticed that when you reverted part of my edit on the Asiana Airlines Flight 991 article, you removed ValuJet Flight 592 from the "See also" section. However, ValuJet Flight 592 still appears on the UPS Airlines Flight 6 article. Should I re-add ValuJet Flight 592 to the Asiana Airlines Flight 991 article or remove it from the UPS Airlines Flight 6 article? Thank you. Why can't I edit Userpedia?
