484:(since added to), and few other scattered about. Going back to inclusion verse deltist, I actually favor shorter articles for most craft- short and to the point, at least till more pages even have a article. For big types or after more are done, thats when it make sense- of course the state of articles varies wildly as its depedendent n whatever people want to put articles for. To get back back to the issue at hand,- the footer. I was never to fond of the type desgination, though I did find the term use interesting so lets cut that out then. Similair aircraft can go either place. I put it in the fikri, to aviod loosing the 'comparable' name. Perhaps that similair can be supplanted at some point comparable as you suggested, though it probably doesn't matter much either way. So that can just be part of the standard footer then. Bureas and codename I do quite like however. For them I propose turning the burea name into links to lists of there repective company aircrafts- so you could quicky jumpt to all the sukhoi aircraft rather then just a company article. I think there's real benfit to being able to jump to other russian planes, and that probably makes more sense then just linking to there company pages. As for codename, I would like to see this turned into a row as well so you can between them by there nato- codenames. There's alot of people who know these planes by there codenames, and, I though it was kind of interesting naming convention. Well let me know what you think of this- I hope better then what we'v come up so far. As I stated earlier, I would 505:
have been refered to. In recognition of this and other ideas that could be gathered in there support, but also recognizing the 'mixed bag' it is for them to be there- I propose yet another compromise. The category is kept, but rather then listng all the codenames (which run into pov), just the one for that aircraft and two links- one to a article talking about codenames, and another to page listing nato/russian codenames. I think at some point, whether or not people find things pleasant to recongnize, many aircraft were part of wars and codenames part of that. Correctly reporting history is a stand this project needs to make. If we can get the russian codenames for Nato planes, I'd be all for that as well. Codenames for aircraft of the cold war are especially important as some owe there whole existance to a craft known only by secret names. I understand why your against it, and in many ways it would be easy for me to agree- but it strikes me as wrong to let it slide. It seems like a revision of history not to recognize the nature of of the planes and there 'many names'- to minimize them to just a brief mention. The compromise I think makes it more acceptable, since it moves away from suggesting that its a 'NATO' article. (althought the soviets did keep an active interest in nato codenames of there aircraft as well).

tendancy not to write full articles- I'v made few attempts to write longer text for new pages, but I'v shayed away since my text got rewritten or totally replaced. As result I keep it text to minimum to aviod having this sort of experience. As for the tup footer, I like your tup series box, but I also like the one on that page and I think both full good niche. I prefer the series box idea to creating a whole 'nother footer (like th air box thing) in general, but in this case I wanted to keep what fikri worked on- and I thought it may have some potential in its own right. If you want to develop more of these series boxes I'll be happt to help you distribute them, as this is just what I had wanted to to after totally general air-list box- (create more specific boxes for sub-groups). Well I hope that further clears things up.
338:
its done (at least not for a long time(change it that is)). The tuplev thing was about creating a new, more specialzed standard just for those pages. Just as one day the current air footer may just be a specialized subset of a 'transportation' footer, new footer/boxes could be a subset of it. To put things in perspective here, I had actually considered trying to go through an update to our current data table standard after seeing the wide range out there ( even beyond what been caused by tinkering). Indeed your boldness is correct- I thourghly agree, and I have diverted much time into this. Speaking of which, you may be happy to know I have just converted the
499:
burueas into links to specific lists(lot of work as u mention) or just one link, how bout just links to spots on the bigger list(using that code feature). Either a list of russian aircraft or the airliners- I haven't checked whats how there in terms of lists. Civ. versus milt is not so important I think with russian planes since a lot of those 'civilian' planes were duel use anway(not that other planes aren't). Either that or a whole 'russian' list box could be made to link to all those things mentioned there, though this same content could probaly jsu tbe incoroporated into the footer.
321:
say I need to 'find another project to monkey around with' is a inflammatory and disrespectfull comment. To suggest I have a double standard for 'wiki freedom' is also false, as, when issues arise a fair comprimise is reached- something that I have even done with you. As for content issues with the footer etc.- as you've been pointing out its clear we are partly victims of commonly held differing views- deltionist vs inclusionist etc. I think its fine to continue with comprimises as we'v done, though they must be reached sooner and with less wasted time,effort, etc..
565:
links to the bureas, and let the details of the transport link can be worked out later. I'll agree to your nato deal if you'll let the links to design bureas's stay. As for civ- vis milt given that some 'transports' had glazed noses and most of these fucntioned as military transport as well I dont see to much of problem. Also, most of the company pages have list of there respective aircraft so its no just company info being linked to. Just like anything in wiki, its just a steping stone to something better- so I fully agree its time to move on.
270:
much every air page doing the microfooter, I certainly come down much more on the side of standards for the wiki then I did before, as its a very 'unruly' bunch that exits now. (yet a another proof of the 'yards'!) I will post the pages that link to that media wiki as a summary of whats out there so far-in the interim of your super list. I also continue looking on line for mega-lists to see if the tedium of that can be escaped somehow. Have some more ideas for media wikied boxes as well, and of course I look forward to this : -->

intially. Your definately willing to debate endlessly about things but there's nothing wrong that ;). Anyway disgregard that question as I didn't quite read enough there. As for the project, I tried a footer with the same font as the table ( its on the footer page if you wanted to check it out). Also, with all this years of aviation stuff going on I'v been checking out early aviation and I'v been growing concernend about the accuracy of some of the records being claimed. I'v made a page
705:, etc. with your last response. I totally applaud this growth as I think it will benfit both you and especially the wiki. (I cant stress enough how much this is appreciated). The fact remains however, that this sort thing would have taken a small fraction of time for me to resolve with anyone else. I'v been willing to invest a lot of time as matter of courtsey and responsibility (as have you) in sorting this out, but its fast become an unreasonable amount. 218:
the subject of much debate. Indeed the encyclopedia should just be for facts, but unfortuntely these early flying machine seem especially prone to indulgences and selective memory with whats what is considered a 'fact'. As of often mentioned the involement of national ego's and a lot of revionist/ disinformation thats been created over the years doesn't help much. In many cases these titles belong to even
686:
for linking not content providing, npov, etc. However, you'v demonstrated you dont have a problem with intra-wiki footers for groups- so at this point its just a debate over the degree of content(which will end up changing anyway). If you dont have problem with linking to lists of aircraft then it makes no sense not to link to the other bureas, which are mostly just lists at this point.
717:
full pages and continue with tables. Also, for the piaggio, just 'piaggio avanti' turns up more google hits, but the manufacture released it as 'P-180 Avanti' (according to one book). I dont have a problem with it as avanti but we seem to stick to 'official' names. Mines as well wait till they releae another one I guess. Thats all, look forward to your inputs.

PZL.37 is more similar to the way it was written before the war (I'm not sure), but such a way of writing don't come easily for me :-) In one pre-war book I've seen even: "P.Z.L. 19". I think therefore, that PZL.37 is a more elagant-looking compromise. There is no official version, anyway. As for new
504:
As for codename, you raise some good points and I half agree. However, I think it needs to stay in some form. These codenames are much more synonomous with these airplanes- many times the only name mentioned in books and media, so it goes beyond just offering content, but catering to how these planes

was under average, but longer then many others (this one was before the data-tables etc). This one was entirely rewritten, quite frustating given that its among just a handfull of the othter ww2 french types that are done-but such is how the wiki is.(partly why I hated to see fikri stuff reverted, I

Fair enough, but protacted debates are still not acceptable. The amount of my time you'v wasted with them, the personal insults, etc. have been unwelcome to say the least. I didn't make the footer, fikri did. I know you have problems with it, that what we disagree on. Tell you what, change a standard

I dont appreiciate your comments, nor your argument tactics. As much as I have enjoyed many of your articles, your the only user that has made the wiki a unpleasant experiece for me. I reccomend you overhall your discussion tactics, and avoid, in particular, expanding from the issue at hand or making

Im glad its working ok, i must say i felt a little rash plastering it everywhere! Dont worry about the lesson- remember that we never disagreed over the merits of standardization and 'from the field'. It was just that often finicky balance between customization and standardization. Having seen pretty

Well I'v check out some more about this trolling phenomenon and decided your not a argument troll. It seems trolling isn't arguments that waste time but a kind of thing where you try get stir up trouble/cause problems etc., and certainly vastly more of insulting thing to ask someone then I releasized

I have many ideas for tables and such and many airplanes goals though I will try to scale back so there is not so much friction. The (perhaps) vauge counter-editing has certainly resulted in genunie improvements though there's no need for energy to go into this given such similair goals an ideals for

In the near term the beta table was just to get to a single standard without contantly changing the main table- though this is probably not going to work. The dream of single standardized table for all the aircraft pages is good one, though as you point out the issue is not the quality of our current

Problem is, when you start to place it under higher tiers, where would you put it? It's quite valid for each of the above as mentioned. If someone decides they want a category with all American planes (quite plausible), that's another higher-level category stuck on. This multi-tier categorization

It was a liitle more then just that, but I'v lost track of the number personal accusations you incorporate into a normal disscussion. Some you'v redacted so I'll cut you some slack. As for wrting a full page, I'v worked on many parts of pages, sections. For non-stubs that I'v created, there are few,

I had been working on the jap page for a couple hours before you suggested the concept- your comment reaffirmed the usefullnes of that sort of thing to me thoguh. Im going to try and add in the japanese character for pages that have them listed- in case you wanted to add some more as well. As for my

I dont expect you to temper- Im not one to hold grudges anyway. If its done, its over, and if we could just work in peace together on aircraft that would be compensation enough. I do need to clear up what I think is misunderstanding, though. I don't want to change the current footer (or the table)-

Hello- I had an idea about a totally standard list footer (maybe it could be turned into "msg"?) be sure to check it out (footer page). The idea is that it could be on all aircraft pages, and using the msg shortcut it could be distibuted quickly. As for this early flight stuff, though- its proving

I couldn't agree more- very well said ("imho")! Im going to try and seperate out that table between actual attempts/literature. These early flight titles are difficult to work on as they come add a bad juntion of national pride and the complexites of aero stuff, and it seems blurbs on them have been

Do you know how to find pictures for use without having to ask, for the wikipedia. I have found many pictures but have not used them, even if credit would be given, beacue of concerns over ownership issues. (nevermind most were probably ripped from other sources in the first place....). Is it enough
971:
I'm afraid it's impossible to say, which was more correct. In the post-war books you can find all: "PZL-37", "PZL.37", "PZL 37" (and "PZL P-37", "PZL P.37"). If we chose "PZL.37", there's another problem: "PZL.37" or "PZL. 37"? PZL-37 is more intuitive and most people will search probably this one.

As for the usaf box, which I had thought abided by standardization/focus etc. I was hoping would be a standard format for other airforces (on the transferable idea). I was using it to update all the related pages and found it quite usefull (in the 'yards'). However, If the whole idea of footers for

I have considered just withdrawing drawing support for that idea so we could get on with things, and was going to show you the standardized USAF as proof I was actually interested in abiding by that idea. I already supported the idea of standarized content (i.e the air box), and the logic in people
710:
In light of all table issues I think things have gone long enough to transition into a new 'track'. We could table the issue(put it aside) or move up the reccommend hierarchy of dispute mediation. Im not totally sure where things lie now, but I think we need a mediator (do these have to be admins?)
691:
If you just 'don't like it' thats not enough as, fikri has just as much right to customize those pages as anyone else, just as surely as we have right to have the project. That he's a avitaion proffestional adds even more value to a contibution. Iv given a lot of ground here- some deserved- some to
685:
Ok this thing isn't going to be a 1 line msg. You never said related variants was a problem. Your 'see also' is neat but it could be in the standard ft, or left out. Look, my offer stands- Ill trade your nato designation offer(gone) for design bureas(kept). I can appreciate your desire for it to be

and welcome any work/ideas as you suggest. One idea, I noticed your work with japanese characters- perhaps we can get japanese character in there as well. I also thought it might be better to split it to before ww2 and after so it would be easier to inlcude codenames, or things like numbers lost to

I see what you mean about the tables. I hadn't noticed it because it doesn't happen with a maximised browser window at 1280*1024. I've reproduced it on my machine with IE6, and more importantly, I've reproduced it using Mozilla 1.6. I say it's more important that Mozilla 1.6 does it because Mozilla

Hi Rlandmann. Call me mark - just picked my user name to be the same as another username/password combination. Had found the aircraft/engine list (and started adding the standard link table at the bottom of articles.) Thanks for the tips, I will start to link years etc. like you suggest. As far as

On the other issues you mention there, it all sounds quite good. The mediawiki concept as well as this idea for drafting releases for stepping sounds neat as well. I posted some various dribble there on the engine table page as well. In the meantime, as far as air pages go I'll try to work on more
564:
Allright, with it being easter I'll keep this short as well. Visual vs text - its whatever the sitituation demands, in seemed like a good idea since the end game is a box with links in it. Ok 1 has was already rejected, and you'v forgot a lot in 2. . Given all the problems lets just leave them as
546:
On whole nother note, I have interesting idea- if and when any revision are made to a footer, I propose replacing as much as possible with msg's to escape the improvement versus distributon paradox. Having air content be in line with proffesional aviation definitions is good long term goal, as any

reccomend you shift away form protracting discussions. It wastes yours and my time, better spent on aircraft ,etc. Are comprimises perfect?- no but I think its important to aviod this endless continuations drawing these things out, or at least give it rest for some time. Notably, as I'v mentioned
217:
Well to be honest thats what need to be sorted out! Im not sure if the page name is right, as I just wanted to list them with a overview of aircraft design and titles given to them at this point. I am concerned about many of the titles given some to aircraft, stated as facts but in truth have been

Whoa lot of stuff there- just to clarify MS 406 was the most text I can find off hand, and was not a stub. Early flying machines was off the cuff, and for the rest- some hits and some misses, not really worth getting into. As for the footer, Ill just jump to remaning issues. Rather then turning

If we had such a system you describe there with the CSS- it would also eliminate the need for stepping releases. The idea with versions for current tables is to use the newer one and update the older tables that are out later( peraps for when a wiki update system will do it). As its very hard to

indeed done, your welcome to find them yourself. I niether think thats a good measure of what people contribute, nor is it even acceptable to ask that. I have never, and would not require you to generate this as it would be a insult to you, and to the very nature of the wiki, aside from wasting
1376:
I have no problem with categorizing articles that have no current category to group them together and make it easier to re-slot them later, I consider that quite prudent and hence left the other-wise parentless articles in the bomber category alone. My only concern was in having multi-tier

While I actually agree with the majority of your technical points, replacing fikri's footer with tup box(essentially fikri's cut to one line of info) is tanamount to elimnating it altogether. When the main thing Im arguing for is its continued exisitance, this should be predictably
1325:
The Korean War categorization is a good one. If a plane was in both World War II and the Korean War then by all means it should be categorized as such. It would also allow users, at a quick glance, to see the evolving tech as weapons were phased in and out over the course of

I was thinking the same thing, right now Im quite lost as to how to organize it more effectively but maintain information. I'v taken to just 'tableizing' whats there so it doesn't require so much scrolling. In the long term If we can assemble a flat alpha ordered
1020:. I started from 1900 just to keep things neat. I'll add the navigation table to the existing 1980s pages later. I started writing some aircraft entries as a break from my usual stuff and got a bit carried away. Also, sorry about my confusion with the 759:
pages. If this was happening all over the place, you might have more of case. Your talking about it like its this is going to go everywhere and will ruin the whole project. I reccomend we just put it to vote on the airproject page, and be done with it.

Thanks for your comments on weapon calibers. It is an interesting point that a weapon described as "half inch" by Americans would not be described as "12.7 mm" by Russians, even though both names are common. I had thought that they were equivalent.

Actually, I rather like your date idea, it is quite specific. The only problem is the span, would it be based on decades? The items first to/or last use? But, by all means, if you can figure that out it'd be good to have something like

like it. The debate wasn't about 'large footers' it was about fikri's and putting customized content into a footer. Which I as far as that goes, Im starting to agree with you more and more.

etc. Off hand, it doesn't seem like something that would get to big to need much more subcategorizing then that, and could always be filtered down if need be.

So that makes the PV-1 and PV-2 the same aircraft as far as the USN was concerned, just two different versions of it, even though they got named differently.
939: 89:
I'm still a bit confused about the footer. 'Designation series' is obvious, as is 'Similar aircraft' (roughly simultaneous aircraft in about the same role).

Adding the B17 to "Bombers" is making a redundant entry in the category pyramid. If the B17 went under everything it qualified for it would be under:

That table is now behaving the same as the MediaWiki messages do. I do think it's better that way, even if it does make people scroll down a bit.

I understand the nature of wiki contributions- the issue is maintaning usefull information and assessing its level of credability.
461:
My earlier question remains- what modifications, other then replacing it with 1 line msg, to his footer would make it acceptable?
83:
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I'd never really understood the US Navy way of doing things, and now I see why -- it was crazy.
877:
Yes thats what I want as well, and am slowly working towords something like that. I am against having two orderings of units.

Why are you recategorizing the bombers? Right now they're grouped very coherently in a hierarichal nature. I've added
