Hi and welcome. I moved the text you created at La Jolla into the already existing article at La Jolla, California and made the former page a redirect to the latter. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 20:04, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for not sumarily deleting my page, as others have done. I incorporated my work into the existing page. Some of the edits made to my work inspired me to do some research and resulted in aome more information and corrections. -- Rsduhamel 02:31, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi - just wondering why you think that "Mizar" is the correct spelling for the roadable Pinto? I confess that I can't find any reference to this aircraft in my print references, but "Mitzar" seems to be the more common spelling on-line? Cheers --Rlandmann 05:12, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- The first hint is at Mitzar, Flying Pinto? where it states, "The Mitzar, which takes its name from the next-to-the-last star in the Big Dipper..." Being a long-time amateur astronomer I know that the star described is named Mizar. Then I noticed that this very page, and the other flying pinto pages on the site, alternately use "Mizar" and "Mitzar". I concluded that "Mitzar" must be an error introduced over the years as the story was retold, rewritten, scanned and OCRed, whatever. I would like to see the original article in Peterson's Complete Ford Book. -- Rsduhamel 07:28, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- P.S. Just noticed that the NTSB report calles it "Mizar". -- Rsduhamel 07:40, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Many thanks! Makes perfect sense. :) If you're interested in contributing more aircraft articles, you might also like to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft, the informal effort to try and co-ordinate these efforts on the 'pedia. Cheers! --Rlandmann 12:10, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip. I added my name to the list. I'll create my user page soon. I have been making my best guesses as to how to format information and letting guys like you clean up after me :). -- Rsduhamel 16:33, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Glad to have you aboard. Also happy to see another "wingnut" with a taste for the unusual... :) One more tip - it's usual around here to reply to comments by posting to the other person's talk page - that way, they'll know that there's a new message waiting for them when they log on. --Rlandmann 22:46, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
