[edit] Reorganization overview

The whole series of Citation articles, starting with this one, has become quite disjointed. Thus, I'm undertaking an effort to get things cleaned up a bit. I'll be documenting the progress here. There are five distinct families of Citations, and many variants within those. This article will soon have a "lineage overview" section after the lead paragraph, followed by development information about the original family. As there are a few other articles out there, they will then become the foundation for detailed information on each of the other 4 families and their offspring. Suggestions, copyedits and flaming darts are always welcome. Akradecki 21:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reorganization, Phase I

The article has now been rewritten. Because "Cessna Citation" can refer to both the overall product line, The first major section of this article is a product line overview. While I realize that usually this kind of info comes much later in a typical WikiProject Aircraft article, I believe that the Citation needs to be an exception, because the product line is so convoluted. By putting it here, the reader who may not be that familiar with the product line can get a "roadmap" of sorts in order to understand what all is involved with the Citation brand.

Since "Cessna Citation" traditionally also can refer to the original straight-wing family that grew from the Citation I, I have also included details of this family in this article. It is my goal to have a separate article on each of the other five families. Akradecki 01:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and because this is a long and involved project, there are a couple of redlinks in the article at the moment, which will turn blue as the project gets completed. Please be patient with these for the moment....Akradecki 02:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
