File copyright problem with File:Sidewaysrm.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Sidewaysrm.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 10:02, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Bw starscream.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Bw starscream.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 13:33, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Edit dispute on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Hi. I'm writing this to all frequent contributors to the article on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It happens that there's this guy BIGNOLE, who was the one who intended to replace the plot with a pamphlet-like overview of the movie. Well now he has popped again, deciding that random information has to be removed (namely the appearance of Frenzy's head, and the appearance of a Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle -Bonecrusher's alt mode in the 2007 movie- among the Decepticons in Egypt). This guy first removed both of these calling WP:OR on them, but has changed the story several times in the course of the discussion. My main concern with him is that he doesn't even know what he's talking about. He doesn't know the characters, and has shown to ignore major background plot points about the story, so it really bugs me him popping in whenever he likes and chopping off the info he doesn't regard as important just because he is on Wikiproject Films. Please take a look at the discussion and make yourself heard. It's kinda tiresome being the only one who seems to care, seeing as people discuss around, but just sit and watch whenever there's real decissions to be made. I won't care if you end up taking sides against me. Make yourself heard. uKER (talk) 07:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Trapped in the Closet (South Park). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Do you have a WP:RS source for this info??? -- Cirt (talk) 14:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Good working with you
Just want to say it's good to be working with an experienced editor at Iron Man 2. Whenever a new comic-book movie comes out, anon IPs who've never been to Wikipedia before swarm in and, by and large, create more clean-up work than they do contribute helpful edits. Few of the other longtimers seem to be working on this article, so it's a relief to see someone with a couple years under his belt helping shape it. Thanks. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Stub vs expand|section
Hi, When you want to show that a section of an article needs expanding (as in T. R. Edwards), please use and not stub - the stub template refers to a whole article, and puts it into the category for stub-sorting. Thanks. PamD (talk) 16:20, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated
A lot of people on Amazon.com are under the assumption that Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated is 2 seasons long each series being 13 episodes long because of Cartoon Network.

 * On every subsequent airdate copy and paste just
 * and you'll be set! Why would you want Canadian airdates for an American show? It should only have the American airdates. The 2nd page contains the other episodes. But hey, I'm headed to bed now, so if you have any more questions, I'll get to them when I wake up. C T J F 8 3  09:39, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Teletoon's is a Canadian channel and they are posted on the page but no references are posted to show how and when they aired as proof, you know? JamesAlan1986 (talk) 09:44, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * You caught me before I left....There should only be American airdates, since it is an American show, correct? See WikiProject_Television/How_to_write_an_episode_article for part of an explanation. C T J F 8 3  09:50, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Need your help.
We need to keep episodes 24-26 hidden until their air dates on the List of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episodes cause someone is still vandalizing the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated page and changing the status from Airing to Returning series with no reference and I believe they are doing it because of the episodes page.

If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

File permission problem with File:Godneptune.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Godneptune.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 03:03, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Saga (comic book)
Hi. Thanks for adding the passage about Saga appearing on CBR's Top 10 list to the article. However, I had to revert some aspects of your edit. Specifically:

 * Spaces don't go in front of citations, as indicated by WP:PAIC.
 * You omitted the year 2012 from the passage about the IGN list. I'm guessing this was an error on your part.
 * You included no punctuation at the end of the sentence.
 * Most importantly the claim that the book appeared on "many" Best of 2012 lists is not found in the source you cited, which violates WP:V and/or WP:NOR.
 * I also corrected the url you included in the citation, as that url led to the wrong CBR story. I found the right one by using CBR's searching engine in the story title.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Two-year-old?
Who are you calling a two-year-old? How is stating what is advertised by official Japanese sources followed by the changes made by American sources end up as "two-year-old pedantry"? How did I "obfuscate the continuity of the film"? Did you not read the TRANSCEND GAME part in the following paragraph that enforces the fact that the film is truly a sequel only to the manga because the creator made a midquel story for the film that is a sequel to the manga and not the anime? I don't think people are really dumb enough to not figure out that there is an issue there regarding the American version of the film, otherwise the changes wouldn't have been made and mentioned to begin with. With that said, the changes you made were not necessary due to repeating what is already there.

Also, minor contradictions to the continuity of the anime? There's no way you read the manga, watched the anime, and watched the film then came to the conclusion that the contradictions are minor. You're spreading false information, which is what the previous edit did not do. The movie's existence is a major contradiction to the continuity of the anime. Seto Kaiba is the main proof of that among other things.

Once again, who are you calling a two-year-old? In case you didn't figure it out, I'm the one who made those edits regarding the films advertised plot and the Transcend Game section.--Rob2k19 (talk) 00:16, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * ..............I was referring to the age of the edit, not the age of the editor. - Chris McFeely (talk) 16:20, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, then I apologize for misinterpreting. Still, I asked an additional question (second paragraph) regarding your edit when you said minor. Care to address how you came to that conclusion?--Rob2k19 (talk) 12:40, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Do the differences extend beyond the circumstances of how Bakura obtained the ring, and whether or not Kaiba was present for the Ceremonial Battle? Because the first is a retcon in either continuity, and the latter is minor. - Chris McFeely (talk)
 * Apologizes for the late reply. I did not receive a notification that you replied. Is that really the conclusion you arrived at after reading the entire manga, watching both Japanese and English versions (Memory World and Battle Ceremony arc) of the Duel Monsters, and watching both versions the movie? If so, then you do not truly understand Yu-Gi-Oh! because it is not a "simple" series that would result in a "minor" contradiction.

First is the manga's relation to the movie. Kazuki Takahashi stated that Kaiba's expressions revert back to the way he was when he was first introduced in the manga. The JP and Eng version of the anime skips this. Kazuki Takahashi also explained Kaiba's character in an old interview, which explained the relationship between Kaiba and Gozaburo (Games = Death) and how that relates to his rivalry with Yami Yugi, which is very deep and give light to why Kaiba is the way he is. Without his one and only rival, Yami Yugi, to keep him in check, he regresses.

Second is the contradiction between the JP/Eng version of the anime with the movie. Kaiba is not present in the manga after Battle City until the last chapter showing him and Mokuba arriving after Yugi and Yami Yugi's duel. In the JP version of the Battle Ceremony, Kaiba didn't care for Yugi. After Yami Yugi summoned all 3 God cards, Kaiba thought the rest of the duel was a watse of a time because he thought Yugi was going to lose so he started walking away until Yugi talked him out of it. After Yugi defeated the God cards, Kaiba said he now believes in what Yugi said and starts accepting him as a duelist. Jonouchi (Joey) was surprised that Kaiba was rooting for Yugi. Yugi beats Yami Yugi then Kaiba says nothing as his one and only rival for so long walks to the afterlife, never to be seen again. In the Eng version, after Yami Yugi summons the God cards, Kaiba says Yugi is pathetic duelist who had Yami Yugi do all the dueling for him. As Kaiba walks away, he tells Yami Yugi that by the looks of the duel, he'll be styaing and that they'll have their rematch. Yugi talks him into staying then Kaiba says when you lose, I'll show you what real dueling is all about. Later on, Kaiba calls Yugi a loser. After Yugi defeats the 3 Gods, Kaiba says he was wrong and that Yugi is the King of Games. Both versions of Kaiba in the anime had him thinking little of Yugi and him finally accepting Yugi as a duelist. He has no reason to duel Yami Yugi anymore. He made his peace.

Third is the differences between the JP and Eng version of the movie. In the JP version, manga (since manga canon) Kaiba tells Virtual Yami Yugi that he's waited for this moment for to settle the score. Kaiba says that Yami Yugi went into hiding without a trace, all while remaining victorious. The English version of that scene just says that Kaiba wanted to settle the score. Later on when manga Kaiba enters the SHrine of the Underworld, manga Kaiba says "It's here? This is where the soul of the King had his final battle with Yugi and left the world of the living." Funny that the English version actually kept this line considering Eng anime Kaiba was there. During manga Kaiba's duel with Aigami, he says he should have been the one to put the final nail in Yami Yugi's coffin. He continues saying that Yami Yugi's ghost haunts his subconscious to this day. English version doesn't keep that line. Eng anime version says something else. Later on, manga Kaiba says that he'll actually need Yugi to complete it after all. At this point, I don't know what the Eng version says at this point and I have enough evidence to counter your minor claim. You've apparently seen it since you consider it a minor contradiction so you can fill in the rest yourself while I continue stating evidence from the JP version. During Kaiba and Yugi's duel, manga Kaiba refers to Yugi as "vessel" Yugi. Manga Kaiba also states that he wanted to keep Yami Yugi in the puzzle as his prisoner of battle.

Long story short, I gave you every piece of evidence that shows how 90-95% (everything Kaiba) of this movie contradicts the JP/Eng version of the anime. The remaining 5-10% would consist of scenes relating to Yugi and co. at school along with flashbacks and Aigami's beef with Bakura (Aigami and Kaiba wouldn't meet because their goals don't clash). I didn't even mention Transcend Game, a manga midquel, yet, which shows what Kaiba was doing to reach Yami Yugi and how he wanted to deliver the final blow on the deceased king. Everything Kaiba did and built in this movie was for Yami Yugi. He treated Yugi like an afterthought and that is exactly what Yugi is in the movie. A major contradiction to what happened in the end of the anime. Everything I stated from the manga and Kazuki Takahashi was related to this movie.--Rob2k19 (talk) 21:07, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Microwave landing system

The microwave landing system (MLS) is an all-weather, precision radio guidance system intended to be installed at large airports to assist aircraft in landing, including 'blind landings'. MLS enables an approaching aircraft to determine when it is aligned with the destination runway and on the correct glidepath for a safe landing. MLS was intended to replace or supplement the instrument landing systems (ILS). MLS has a number of operational advantages over ILS, including a wider selection of channels to avoid interference with nearby installations, excellent performance in all weather, a small "footprint" at the airports, and wide vertical and horizontal "capture" angles that allowed approaches from wider areas around the airport.

Although some MLS systems became operational in the 1990s, the widespread deployment envisioned by some aviation agencies never became a reality. There were two reasons: (economic) while technically superior to ILS, MLS did not offer sufficiently greater capabilities to justify adding MLS receivers to aircraft equipage; and (potentially superior third system) GPS-based systems, notably WAAS, allowed the expectation of a similar level of positioning with no equipment needed at the airport. GPS/WAAS dramatically lowers an airport's cost of implementing precision "like" landing approaches, which is particularly important at small airports. For these reasons, most existing MLS systems in North America have been turned off. GPS/WAAS-based LPV 'Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance' approaches provide vertical guidance comparable to ILS Category I and FAA-published LPV approaches currently outnumber ILS approaches at US airports.

Though initially MLS appeared to be of interest in Europe, where concerns over the availability of GPS were an issue, widespread installation never occurred. Further deployment of the system is not likely. Rather, several European airports have implemented LPV approaches based on the EGNOS (WAAS-compatible) satellite system.

Principle
MLS employs 5 GHz transmitters at the landing place which use passive electronically scanned arrays to send scanning beams towards approaching aircraft. An aircraft that enters the scanned volume uses a special receiver that calculates its position by measuring the arrival times of the beams.

History
The US version of MLS, a joint development between the FAA, NASA, and the U.S. Department of Defense, was designed to provide precision navigation guidance for exact alignment and descent of aircraft on approach to a runway. It provides azimuth, elevation, and distance, as well as "back azimuth" for navigating away from an aborted landing or missed approach. MLS channels were also used for short-range communications with airport controllers, allowing long-distance frequencies to be handed over to other aircraft.

In Australia, design work commenced on a version of MLS in 1972. Most of this work was done jointly by the Federal Department of Civil Aviation (DCA), and the Radio Physics Division of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The project was called Interscan, one of several microwave landing systems under consideration internationally. Interscan was chosen by the FAA in 1975 and by ICAO in 1978 as the format to be adopted. An engineered version of the system, called MITAN, was developed by industry (Amalgamated Wireless Australasia Limited and Hawker de Havilland) under a contract with DCA's successor, the Department of Transport, and successfully demonstrated at Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) in the late 1970s. The white antenna dishes could still be seen at Tullamarine until 2003 when they were dismantled.

This initial research was followed by the formation of Interscan International limited in Sydney, Australia in 1979 which manufactured MLS systems that were subsequently deployed in the US, EU, Taiwan, China and Australia. The Civil Aviation Authority (United Kingdom) developed a version of MLS, which is installed at Heathrow Airport and other airports, because of the greater incidence of instrument approaches with Cat II/III weather.

Compared with the existing instrument landing system (ILS), MLS had significant advantages. The antennas were much smaller, using a higher frequency signal. They also did not have to be placed at a specific location at the airport, and could "offset" their signals electronically. This made placement easier compared with the physically larger ILS systems, which had to be placed at the ends of the runways and along the approach path.

Another advantage was that the MLS signals covered a very wide fan-shaped area off the end of the runway, allowing controllers to direct aircraft approaching from a variety of directions or guide aircraft along a segmented approach. In comparison, ILS could only guide the aircraft down a single straight line, requiring controllers to distribute planes along that line. MLS allowed aircraft to approach from whatever direction they were already flying in, as opposed to flying to a parking orbit before "capturing" the ILS signal. This was particularly valuable at larger airports, as it could allow the aircraft to be separated horizontally much closer to the airport. Similarly in elevation, the fan shaped coverage allows for variations in descent rate, making MLS useful for aircraft with steeper approach angles such as helicopters, fighters and the space shuttle.

Unlike ILS, which required a variety of frequencies to broadcast the various signals, MLS used a single frequency, broadcasting the azimuth and altitude information one after the other. This reduced the chance of frequency conflicts, as did the fact that the frequencies used were far away from FM broadcasts, another problem with ILS. MLS also offered two hundred separate channels, making conflicts between airports in the same area easily preventable.

Finally, the accuracy was greatly improved over ILS. For instance, standard DME equipment used with ILS offered range accuracy of only ±1200 feet. MLS improved this to ±100 ft in what they referred to as DME/P (for precision), and offered similar improvements in azimuth and altitude. This allowed MLS to guide extremely accurate CAT III approaches, whereas this normally required an expensive ground-based high precision radar.

Similar to other precision landing systems, lateral and vertical guidance may be displayed on conventional course deviation indicators or incorporated into multipurpose cockpit displays. Range information can also be displayed by conventional DME indicators and also incorporated into multipurpose displays.

It was originally intended that ILS would remain in operation until 2010 before being replaced by MLS. The system was only being installed experimentally in the 1980s when the FAA began to favor GPS. Even in the worst cases, GPS offered at least 300 ft accuracy, not as good as MLS, but much better than ILS. GPS also worked "everywhere", not just off the end of the runways. This meant that a single navigation instrument could replace both short and long-range navigation systems, offer better accuracy than either, and required no ground-based equipment.

The performance of GPS, namely vertical guidance accuracy near the runway threshold and the integrity of the system have not been able to match historical ICAO standards and practices. Greater GPS accuracy could be provided by sending out "correcting signals" from ground-based stations, which would improve the accuracy to about 10 m in the worst case, far outperforming MLS. Initially it was planned to send these signals out over short-range FM transmissions on commercial radio frequencies, but this proved to be too difficult to arrange. Today a similar signal is instead sent across all of North America via commercial satellites, in a system known as WAAS. However WAAS is not capable of providing CAT II or CAT III standard signals for air carrier autoland (though WAAS approaches can provide accurate enough guidance for emergency autoland capability in aircraft so equipped using Garmin Autoland) and so a Local Area Augmentation System, or LAAS, must be used.

Space Shuttle
The microwave scanning beam landing system (MSBLS) was a Ku band approach and landing navigation aid used by NASA's Space Shuttle. It provided precise elevation, directional and distance data which was used to guide the orbiter for the last two minutes of flight until touchdown. The signal was typically usable from a horizontal distance of approximately 28 km and from an altitude of approximately 5 km (18,000 feet).

MSBLS installations used by NASA were certified every two years for accuracy. From 2004, the Federal Aviation Administration worked with NASA to execute this verification. Previously, only NASA aircraft and equipment were used. Testing of the Kennedy Space Center's MSBLS in 2004 revealed an accuracy of 5 centimeters.

The Space Shuttle landing approach started with a glide slope of 19 degrees, which is over six times steeper than the typical 3-degree slope of commercial jet airliners.

Operational Functions
The system may be divided into five functions: Approach azimuth, Back azimuth, Approach elevation, Range and Data communications.

Approach azimuth guidance

The azimuth station transmits MLS angle and data on one of 200 channels within the frequency range of 5031 to 5090.7 MHz and is normally located about 1,000 feet (300 m) beyond the stop end of the runway, but there is considerable flexibility in selecting sites. For example, for heliport operations the azimuth transmitter can be collocated with the elevation transmitter.

The azimuth coverage extends: Laterally, at least 40 degrees on either side of the runway centerline in a standard configuration. In elevation, up to an angle of 15 degrees and to at least 20,000 feet (6 km), and in range, to at least 20 nautical miles (37 km) (See FIG 1-1-8.)

Elevation guidance
The elevation station transmits signals on the same frequency as the azimuth station. A single frequency is time-shared between angle and data functions and is normally located about 400 feet from the side of the runway between runway threshold and the touchdown zone.

Elevation coverage is provided in the same airspace as the azimuth guidance signals: In elevation, to at least +15 degrees; Laterally, to fill the Azimuth lateral coverage and in range, to at least 20 nautical miles (37 km) (See FIG 1-1-9.)

Range guidance
The MLS Precision Distance Measuring Equipment (DME/P) functions in the same way as the navigation DME, but there are some technical differences. The beacon transponder operates in the frequency band 962 to 1105 MHz and responds to an aircraft interrogator. The MLS DME/P accuracy is improved to be consistent with the accuracy provided by the MLS azimuth and elevation stations.

A DME/P channel is paired with the azimuth and elevation channel. A complete listing of the 200 paired channels of the DME/P with the angle functions is contained in FAA Standard 022 (MLS Interoperability and Performance Requirements).

The DME/N or DME/P is an integral part of the MLS and is installed at all MLS facilities unless a waiver is obtained. This occurs infrequently and only at outlying, low density airports where marker beacons or compass locators are already in place.

Data communications
The data transmission can include both the basic and auxiliary data words. All MLS facilities transmit basic data. Where needed, auxiliary data can be transmitted. MLS data are transmitted throughout the azimuth (and back azimuth when provided) coverage sectors. Representative data include: Station identification, Exact locations of azimuth, elevation and DME/P stations (for MLS receiver processing functions), Ground equipment performance level; and DME/P channel and status.

MLS identification is a four-letter designation starting with the letter M. It is transmitted in International Morse Code at least six times per minute by the approach azimuth (and back azimuth) ground equipment.

Auxiliary data content: Representative data include: 3-D locations of MLS equipment, Waypoint coordinates, Runway conditions and Weather (e.g., RVR, ceiling, altimeter setting, wind, wake vortex, wind shear).

Future
In the United States, the FAA suspended the MLS program in 1994 in favor of the GPS (Wide Area Augmentation System WAAS). The FAA's inventory of instrument flight procedures no longer includes any MLS locations; the last two were eliminated in 2008.

Due to different operational conditions in Europe many countries (particularly those known for low visibility conditions) were expected to embrace the MLS system as a replacement to ILS. However, in reality the only major installation was London Heathrow Airport, which was decommissioned on 31 May 2017. Other major airports, such as Frankfurt Airport which were expected to install MLS have instead published ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) approaches.

As more GBAS system are installed, then the further installation of MLS or continued operation of existing systems must be in doubt.
