Wacken pictures

Hi Don-vip,
just saw your Wacken Pics - pretty cool! I just added the Insomnium picture to the German article, because it's better than the older one from Bologna. I've been there too and made lots of pics. Stay hard, -- Achim Raschka (talk) 17:48, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Category:Numbers on aircrafts

Please note that the term "aircrafts" does not exist, aircraft is both the singular and plural form. Please re-create the cats with proper name. --Denniss (talk) 21:08, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I renamed the top category but don't know how to handle the template I used in Category:Number 4 on aircraft ? (Template:Numbercategory-vehicle) --vip (talk) 21:16, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

I have created a new template: Template:Numbercategory-vehicle-singular --vip (talk) 10:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Duplicate File:Aircraft ready to take off vintage image.jpg

• File:Aircraft ready to take off vintage image.jpg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Hi, I can see you have added this image to my duplicates category. Could you indicate which image it duplicates? At the moment there does not appear to be a checksum identical image being picked up by the normal tools. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 16:42, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Fae. It's duplicate with File:USWFS_N788_aircraft_01.jpg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). I actually uploaded it after having categorized another one of you, without seeing the first one. I thought about deleting mine, but then I noticed than all US WFS pictures have been modified by the website you took the pictures from. I think it's better to reference original files rathen than the copies of the other website. What do you think ? --vip (talk) 16:47, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm not too fussed, so long as the variations are linked. In this case though, this does not even look like a crop, it's just a reduced size version which we ought to mark with {{duplicate}} and default to the higher resolution version, which also mentions the copyright holder in the EXIF data. Cheers --Fæ (talk) 17:15, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Category:FW-239 (aircraft)

Hi. You created the above category. I would recommend to delete this category and rename it "54-2239 (aircraft)". All USAF aircraft are registered by the fiscal year they were ordered (in this case 1954) and a three (1930s) to five-digit (WWII) number (depending on the number or orders, starting from 0001. Only in the 1950s, the USAF allocated suffix letters for each type of aircraft, like "FW" for the F-100. As only a 3-digit number was added, sometimes "-A" or "-B" had to be added, especially for F-84s ordered during the Korean War to avoid duplicates. This was discontinued in 1962. The normal serial number is also visible on the tail of the above North American F-100D-15-NA Super Sabre, s/n 54-2239. Cheers Cobatfor (talk) 09:18, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey Don-vip, I've already added the new JOSM logo to Commons and removed the display glitches of the SVG simply by opening the file in Inkscape and saving it into another file. See File:JOSM Logo 2014.svg. --Floscher (talk) 02:10, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
