You wrote at my talk "...Hi Anna: You blocked our user account "Atlantic Flyer" from editing a page. We are not trying to post any marketing information to Wikipedia. We only want to add our 30-yr publication to the encyclopedia in a similar manner as other publications. Can you please remove the Block?"

Hi. You wrote "...a similar manner as other publications..." Could you point those out please.

You wrote "our". You are associated with the paper. Plus, maybe this is a group account representing the paper. That concerns me.

I could have deleted it per WP:U5, and then soft blocked your account. I considered that. Although it was not seriously self-promotional, I chose to indefinitely block and delete the page as promotion for the following reasons: 1. It contained a link to your "Official Website". 2. You made only one edit ever, which was to create that userpage. 3. You created it 00:34, 23 January 2015.

There is only one place at Wikipedia for content about your organization: an article. If your organization is notable, surely someone will come along and write the article who is not part of your company. Writing an article about an organization with which you are associated is strongly discouraged.

By the way, do you think the paper is notable per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)? If so, please find lots and lots of good sources that write about it. Then, please let me help. Paste the links here for me to see. If you are notable, I can help create the article for you.

Are you interested in helping to build the encyclopedia without adding any content related to you or your organization? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:47, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anne - Yes, as the editor, I am associated with Atlantic Flyer News which is a monthly newspaper that focuses on General Aviation content. Admittedly, I did not read all the "notability" guidelines of Wikipedia before attempting to post the page on our publication. Because we are a media outlet, it is unlikely that many other "notable" outlets (our competition) would reference us online or otherwise. The most notable news organization in our industry is "General Aviation News" (no affiliation) and even they have no page on Wikipedia. It doesn't seem that General Aviation is well represented on Wikipedia, as I have found MANY notable companies, individuals and organizations (etc.) not listed on Wikipedia. I would be happy to contribute to Wikipedia and feel that we would be an excellent source of notable information on General Aviation due to our voluminous amount of current/archival content on the topic. Can you Unblock our user account? Atlantic Flyer (talk) 01:47, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Atlantic Flyer. I would be happy to unblock your account. A couple of things: You do not intend on writing about your newspaper, correct? This account will be used only by you, and not represent an organization, right? You would be comfortable changing your username so that it does not sound like it represents an organization, yes? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:55, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll take personal ownership of the account and not write a page about the Atlantic Flyer newspaper. Atlantic Flyer (talk) 07:13, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Please visit Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple while logged in to this account and change your username. I will unblock this account temporarily for you to do so. You are now unblocked. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:36, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just wondering, are the tools used in fixing aircraft the same as car tools? I cannot seem to find any pictures of such tools at commons. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:47, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Aircraft maintenance, see, no tool pictures. :)Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:51, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anna - Some aircraft tools are the same and others are unique. "Aircraft Maintenance" is a very broad topic which could include experimental/home-built aircraft all the way up to commercial jetliners. For example, antique aircraft maintenance/restoration is a very unique niche which often requires fabricating handmade parts or tools to complete maintenance tasks.

Ah, okay. I understand. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:59, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was rejected. Please try another name. I suggest just going to Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple and thinking up one that is not going to get rejected. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:59, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
