Why does List of Airliners redirect here? Lumbergh 19:52, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I think that makes good sense. The list is going to get really long as time goes by. Assigning a particular date is going to be problematic in some cases, but then what classification scheme isn't? I doubt that we will come up with a better one. Tannin 13:07 May 12, 2003 (UTC)
OK, should I just go ahead and do it? Or does there need to be a consultation of some sort? I'm new here by the way - as if you couldn't tell. Is this the correct way to "talk"? Wasn't that obvious to me!!! Anyway thanks for the comment about TSR-2, my first attempt - if my IP seems familiar it's prolly just because it's dynamic and maybe some other contributor uses the same ISP?? dunno. Anyway, thanks for the welcome - I'm in Oz too, despite the 'UK' bit - I just emigrated. User:GRAHAMUK
Ahh! I'm from Ballarat. Welcome to Oz! Yup. The articles themselves for the "real thing"; talk pages for discussing the best way to improve the articles; your user talk page is for more personal and/or off-topic messages; and, by convention, your user page for anything you want to do with it. BTW, you can sign your posts (on talk pages, we don't sign articles) by typing 3 tildes in a row ~~~ or 4 in a row to add the date as well.
You'll have already noticed that it doesn't matter what you write here, someone is bound to come along and change it sooner or later. It takes a bit of getting used to, but the shock-horror wears off after a while and (mostly) the entries get better and better over time.
Sometimes it's best to just go ahead and do things, other times it's much wiser to consult before doing anything too radical and upsetting people. All depends. In this case, I'd say go right ahead. I don't think any of the other main aircraft people will object, and if they do, well, blame me. :) Tannin
- sounds good to me. be bold! -- Tarquin 13:19 May 12, 2003 (UTC) and welcome to wikipedia! (you'll never leave... ;)

- Leave? What's a "leave"? Tannin
Looking good Graham. One thing to bear in mind though - take care that we don't get into a situation where we have to manually update 5 pages seperately. (Wel, so far as it's possible, anyway.) Tannin
Yes, that is beginning to dawn on me... without a built-in indexing tool there's not going to be an easy way to avoid it. I put down the links for the other indexes but maybe that would be over the top and unnecessary - it's certainly proving to be quite a bit of work to build the initial table.

On Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft I have started a proposal for how lists of aircraft could be rationalised on wikipedia. If you're interested, let's discuss it there -- Cabalamat 03:05, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I changed "skynight" to "skyknight" because the latter name make more sense for a fighter and gets twice as many Google hits. Can anyone confirm the correct name? GreatWhiteNortherner 01:20, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)

Is there a date for this data - otherwise it oughtn't be there GraemeLeggett 28 June 2005 15:56 (UTC)
[edit] List name
This really isn't so much a "list of aircraft" as it is a "list of aircraft by manufacturer". One would think the "list of aircraft" would be a "master list" of all aircraft for which Wikipedia has articles (an index, if you will) which contains all the common/popular names so that someone can quickly find the article of interest — and would also capture the other aircraft-related (sub)lists. (Or should this just be left to the search function and redirects?) Askari Mark | Talk 16:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
