[edit] Post-WWII models

No information on civil and post-WWII models.--Nixer 07:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:MilHist Assessment

A very nice start, discussing the origins and development of the form, and even containing pictures. But, as has been mentioned above, there is no information on civil or post-WWII models. Expansion needed. LordAmeth 16:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus to move. Andrewa (talk) 17:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Aerosan → Aerosani — Per correct translation (russian:аэросани is in plural) —Mothmolevna ( © ® ) 18:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

All the English links use aerosled. If the main reference does too, that would be better. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

Can аэросани mean one vehicle? Or is the word аэросан found always in the plural because articles where it occurs always refer to more than one vehicle? Google search in the Roman alphabet found 5980 ghits for "aerosan" and 626 for "aerosani", so "aerosan" singular seems to be the usual English choice over "aerosani", despite what happens in Russian.

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

[edit] Article name

There seem to be a number of possible alternative article names, including aerosled and aerosleigh. The name should be chosen according to Wikipedia:naming conventions of course. I suggest a good read of these before any more move proposals are listed, and evidence relevant to this policy should then be presented. Andrewa (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
