Filling in ref

Hi, I appreciate your continuous updating of aircraft articles. May I suggest, you could improve your editing further by adding all the appropriate parameters in the references. Thanks --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 00:15, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Tall hat for him to fill, seriously. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 03:14, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Hello, Hcobb. Thanks for using {{Cite web}} in your most recent contribution. Please keep it up. Please accept this citation star as a token of my gratitude. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 14:50, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

The problem is that The Economist uses really funky article titles and refuses to give out author names. So I suspect that they really ought to be treated like a "high class" magazine rather than a website. Hcobb (talk) 14:52, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Seriously, you should pay less attention to template names. (Actually, no attention at all!) Template names are arbitrary characters to me. Function matters. I would use {{Infobox Species of Goose}} on a software article if I feel what the reader sees in the article is worth using it. The important thing is: Say "No!" to link rot; Use {{Cite web}} or one of its brothers. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 10:47, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Hcobb

My goal is to duplicate this model for all 196 countries in the world. Below are links to the U.S. and China reports. Would you be interested to help out duplicating this model but for other countries?

Are we competent to maintain stat boxes like that? Wouldn't it be better to have systematic external links? Hcobb (talk) 03:48, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, the goal is to have this project become a Wikimedia project and have it standardized for every country. Right now I'm trying have people duplicate this model and put a link of the project page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_Economic_Map to prove that people would be willing to participate.Mcnabber091 (talk) 03:57, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
