[edit] Related content in aircraft articles

Hi RandomWalk - the table that you created at the bottom of the B-29, B-32, and B-50 articles belongs to an older page layout standard - the text version is the one currently in use (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/page content ). Please don't convert any more text sections to tables; however help in converting the many pages that still have the old tables on them to the new text standard would be most appreciated! Cheers --Rlandmann 05:11, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oops! I apologize. I saw both of the formats, but I couldn't find any documentation of the correct format. Thanks for pointing the WikiProject out.

[edit] Cimarron classes

The article contains no information on the second class which will go into

Cimarron | Monongahela | Merrimack | Willamette | Platte

Cimarron-class fleet replenishment oiler (1979)
List of auxiliaries of the United States Navy
when it is added. Apparently, according to RJBurkhart, the old oilers are not "fleet replenishment" vessels. Rmhermen 03:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
The article mentions "jumbo-izing" some of the oilers, which only occurred with the 1970s-era class of oilers. I will defer to RJBurkhart on wheter they were "fleet replenishment" or not. I suggest that the older classes template and article have the suffix "(1939)" added to their names, and likewise, the newer class have an appropriate year tagged onto their names. --RandomWalk 04:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Your suggestion here is nearly the opposite of RJBurkhart's complaint. I have no knowledge of this area but think that Cimarron class fleet replenishment oiler and Cimarron class oiler are distinctive names. I don't know about any jumbo-izing which appears an awkward term in itself. Rmhermen 05:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
