Hi, can you tell me why you changed the track listing at American Beauty (album)? If you respond here, please begin with {{Ping|Koavf}}. Thanks and welcome. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:14, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

@Koavf: Hi. I changed the song list of American Beauty (as well as Skull and Roses) as I noticed that almost all of the track lists in the other non-archive Grateful Dead albums used the chart. Thus, seeing how Beauty was different, I thought that the requirement for the album was to use the graph. However, if this not the case, then I will recognize the status quo. Ngpiii (talk) 01:40, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, that makes sense and I agree that it's a confusing state of affairs to have both the plain list and the templated table options. I wish it weren't so, honestly and I really dislike the template. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Album article style advice. Thanks a lot for editing here and let me know if I can help you. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:03, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

A brief request, and I know this is petty, but please make an effort to describe what edits you're making to the Etihad Park page when you submit them, instead of just leaving unsigned listings. It's difficult to tell at a glance whether or not the edits made were minor adjustments. Fiendpie (talk) 15:15, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Will add a description to everything I do in the future. Ngpiii (talk) 16:08, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello Ngpiii,

Thanks for pointing me to the relevant section of DESTINY+, where I found this reference (in Japanese). It was published in October 2024, after the postponement of the launch date that had led to all the originally planned flyby targets (like 2005 UD) to be scrubbed. That article says that Apophis and other (to be selected) asteroids are under consideration for flybys. However, by that time, no decision had been made whether those additional flybys will actually take place. This was the original reason why I had asked for a source to be added to the claim in MBR Explorer. I have now changed the wording in the MBR Explorer article from "will fly past" to "may fly past", which is true. Renerpho (talk) 23:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

You mentioned the Lucy (spacecraft) article in your edit summary. The relevant section was added to that article all the way back in 2017, and is no longer representative of the current situation. Renerpho (talk) 23:21, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Nice to know. Thanks for clarifying! Ngpiii (talk) 23:31, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DART. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Is there a reason you changed the launch dates from ISO-8601 format in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandenberg_Space_Launch_Complex_4 ? There's no justification for this in the commit message. MatthewWilcox (talk) 22:05, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

This is probably a flimsy reason, but I did it for consistency between articles. All charts of the 23 other launch pad pages I have created or edited the charts of have been done in that "Two column, DMY and 24 hour UTC" format that originally existed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Canaveral_Space_Launch_Complex_40. Ngpiii (talk) 22:18, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Have been running into you at spaceflight articles, and just wanted to say "Hi!". Also, I moved your Draft to Integrate-Transfer-Launch Complex, as noted here (diff). If you disagree with this move, please lmk and I will help out. Thanks, and see you around! Mathglot (talk) 19:58, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi! I have definitely noticed the activity around an ITL article after that Dutch page got translated. That draft I made has been a side project of mine (and one that I have admittedly been procrastinating on), and I've been feeling overall mixed on the switch because it's incomplete, as seen with the skeleton information I've already written. That being said, feel free to do whatever other stuff with it, and I'd be happy to help along the way. Ngpiii (talk) 23:29, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Ngpiii, one of the principles of Wikipedia is that there is no real notion of "completeness", because Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required. On the other hand, if you believe that there is non-encyclopedic content in the article, such as incomplete sentences, raw notes you wrote to yourself, conjectural content that you weren't sure of and might not be accurate, just either take them out or move it to the Talk page. Otherwise, just continue to improve it, as you would any article. Mathglot (talk) 01:07, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

I've moved it back to Draft space as it is certainly not ready for article space due to the presence of outline notes and not complete paragraphs with citations. That said, Ngpiii, I really hope you keep working on this, as it's an important part of the Cape's history. — Huntster (t @ c) 12:51, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Ngpiii, Huntster is right, I missed those raw notes when I moved the article the first time. The topic is notable, and the article is worth having, even "incomplete", so I have removed the notes from the body and saved them at Talk where you can work on them at your leisure. The page is moved back to mainspace again; sorry for the back-and-forth. Mathglot (talk) 17:07, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
