Welcome to project spaceflight!

[edit]

What are you interested in working on? I would be more than happy to assist and show you the ropes :-) - Neopeius (talk) 23:24, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a huge SpaceX buff, I've been following them since 2013. I stay up-to-date on spaceflight innovations and reusability. I'm still getting the feel for editing but I'm usually a quick learner; my biggest obstacle is I don't have internet access at work. If there are any little ways I can help I'm more than happy to and thanks for reaching out! Alpacaaviator (talk) 09:22, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft

[edit]

Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 19:07, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kissing Tower

[edit]

Hey Alpacaaviator!

Welcome to WikiProject Amusement Parks! I have seen you begun work on several articles relating to our project, namely the Kissing Tower. I thought to let you know you are making a great start, and if you are seeking out additional resources to research, check out the Wikipedia Library (namely Newspapers.com or ProQuest). There are a lot of resources pre-dating the world wide web you can find on either database, particularly for attractions around the time period of the Kissing Tower.

All the best. Adog (Talk・Cont) 04:56, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I haven't had too much luck finding what I'm looking for on Kissing Tower yet, but it already came in use for Geisinger Medical Center and I plan to use it more. Alpacaaviator (talk) 04:06, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Alpacaaviator. Thank you for your work on PAM Health. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for creating this page on a US health care provider; it's concise and clear. Just be careful regarding the structuring of articles to ensure that juxtaposition of distinct topics isn't drive by 'point of view', something I wondered about in your collaborations section.

@Klbrain:
Thanks for the feedback! Please feel free to edit it; I agree that another perspective would help it be more WP:NEUTRAL. Alpacaaviator (talk) 19:03, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
