User talk:Fnlayson

Welcome to my user talk page
Before posting, please read and follow the notes below.

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. Leave me a note pointing me to a discussion if necessary.

Keep conversations together - I will reply to posts on the talk page where the conversation starts.

Do not take changes to your edits personally. 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:Verify policy. Please provide a reference with your changes, either added in the article or existing reference in article.

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.

Experienced editors are welcome to reply to posts here if they do so nicely.

Add posts to the relevant section or start a new section at the very bottom, thanks.

Administrator?

Hello, Fnlayson. I've seen you around here for quite a while since when I've created my account, and I've seen you working hard and being constructive, dropping genuine and sensible opinions on talk pages. You've been around Wikipedia (since 2006, I can't comprehend that) for a long time, therefore being really experienced on policies. I think you'll be a perfect fit for being an administrator. What do you think or are you gonna have to pass? Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 18:52, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. But I doubt if I have the patience to go through the review and all with that process. Regards, -Fnlayson (talk) 19:17, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

I understand. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 23:41, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you!!

@Fnlayson, thank you!! I have been tentatively increasing my activity on Wikipedia recently. So far, I have met an incredible community and I have really enjoyed adding to this awesome body of knowledge. A few days ago I made a very small change to the Boeing Commercial Airplanes page and you gave me a Thanks. That meant the world. Thank you for being part of making the community of editors so welcoming!

(PS: I hope it is okay to post this type of note on your Talk page. I am still learning the etiquette!) Hawkinsw2005 (talk) 21:30, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Stray markup

Thanks for catching the stray defaultsort, I wondered where it could have come from (worried that it might have been nuked from another article), I think it must have been accidentally selected from the wiki markup choices at the bottom of the page (which I don't use!). Cheers. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 16:47, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

I've added text like that by errant clicking or something before. Not a big deal really, imo. Regards, -Fnlayson (talk) 17:11, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks

Saw your fix of my mess-up at Aircraft in fiction. Thanks! I think I selected the wrong base version, so your catch was very useful. Much obliged! EducatedRedneck (talk) 12:38, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

You're welcome! Take care. -Fnlayson (talk) 14:09, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
