Expansion and editing edit

I found this article was a copy of another website. I expanded it, rewrote it, and referenced it. In its present form, it should be clear of any copyright and plagiarism issues, as I researched facts and reached my own conclusions based on them.

Rename article edit

As his surname is listed in official documents and medal citations as Rhys-Davids I would suggest the article is moved to Arthur Rhys-Davids. MilborneOne (talk) 21:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fokker Triplane edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I have never seen the Fokker Triplane dubbed anything other than the Fokker Dr.1., per http://www.theaerodrome.com/aircraft/germany/fokker_dri.php and every other source I have ever read. So where does the designation Fokker F1 come from?

Georgejdorner (talk) 05:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Fokker F1 was a prototype version of the eventual Fokker DR1. There was even an earlier prototype version that didn't have struts between the wings. 50.202.81.2 (talk) 05:11, 12 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Could we break out other articles? edit

Hello,

Although I lack expertise in judging academic notability, it seems to be that both of the ace's parents qualify for their own independent articles in Wikipedia because of their distinguished careers.
