[edit] Infobox header

I don't believe that the manufacturer's name should be included in the "name" line of the infobox - it duplicates the "manufacturer" line. While SB 9 may be mentioned in the caption, IMHO it should also be in the header as part of the "proper name" of the aircraft - Aerobird Target locked - Fox One! 17:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply: My changes are based on BillCJ who has re-added linked manufacturer's name to Intro per WP:AIR Page content guidelines. I think it is the best way to quickly show the common or familiar name of the aircraft in the article. Bzuk 20:18 19 January 2007 (UTC).
I that is a separate issue. Ericg, the Project's resident Infobox guru, has been pretty aggressive at taking the comany out of the name field of the infobox. Unless it just looks totally ridiculous without the company name, (ie. 757, 767, etc.), I don't have a problem with leaving the company out of this field. But as this a bigger issue than one or two pages, we should probably take it up at the main project talk page. - BillCJ 23:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
