Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft/to do

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of aviation articles that need improvement. The list is by no means definitive -- it is provided in an attempt to coordiniate the efforts of several editors and to motivate someone knowledgable about the aircraft to contribute. There are no strict criteria for adding an aircraft to this list. Some examples are:

• A short stub on a significant aircraft
• A seemingly long article that talks about service and famous incidents but completely lacks the background history, first flight date, development, variants, production numbers, etc. (this is a very common occurrence).
• A favorite of yours that has only superficial coverage
• An aircraft that caught your eye and you want to learn more about

Along the same lines, just because an article is removed from the list does not mean it is now in perfect Feature Article shape. There is always room for improvement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emt147 (talk • contribs) 17:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC).

[edit] please add articles below, and date the addition

• LH-10 Ellipse - 2008-03-19 Basically a whole article to write from a stub here.
• Dyn'Aero Ban-Bi - 2008-03-19 Lot of work to do here; basically writing the whole article.
• Fix all external references of www.wpafb.af.mil/museum (old USAF Museum website) for individual aircraft references that fail, to http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/research/aircraft/index.asp and to the same specific aircraft. 2007-08-12 Major task.

US Air Force changed all their home pages - numerous Air Force links need to be fixed (not just AFM)

• T-50 Golden Eagle - 2007-07-29 Missing a couple specs, could use more details on development and features.
• Junkers Ju 52 - 2006-05-07 More Design and development information required
• Hawker Hunter - 2007-07-29 Much expanded
• Regional airliner - 2006-05-07 just moved from regional jet, needs refinement
• FMA IA 63 Pampa - 2006-05-12:
• C-5 Galaxy - 2008-05-06 Needs some expanding in places and better referencing.
• C-141 Starlifter - 2007-07-28 Has good info on the variants, development and history. Could use more details on its history and its references; find and fix WPAFB ref.
• Gloster Gladiator - 2007-05-12 Much improved
• Airbus A330 MRTT - 2007-05-17 Poorly organised, needs more information about the plane itself.
• Antonov An-2 - 2006-06-27 Written far too informally, and focusing too much on trivia.
• Boeing Pelican - 2006-07-08 Needs template/table and list cleanup, information filled in and references cleanup
• Cessna Citation - 2006-07-25 (and all Citation variants) Need general cleanup and styling to meet WP:Air standards.
• B-47 Stratojet- 2007-08-20 Has an enormous amount of information (is this a bad idea?), but much of it is too detailed/of questionable notability. Also lacking in some critical areas. Update: cleaned-up and re-org'ed. Plz review.
• C-1 Trader - 2006-11-16 Needs a picture, and reworking.
• Shaanxi Y-8 - 2006-12-27 I've been working on improving this article, but the Operational Usage section needs more expansion. Help also needed getting the citations organized better.
• Nanchang Q-5 - 2007-01-10 Needs a picture and desperately needs a good cleanup/copyedit (the Chengdu J-7 needs the latter, also).
• Raytheon Sentinel - 2007-02-01 Hasn't been updated since 2004 when the aircraft was still in development, no specs, no details.
• Avro Arrow - 2007-03-25 Recently on hold as a GA candidate, some rewrite started. Earlier request was made to split off political considerations into a related article; also troll alert on talk page, after a long period of inactivity, the troll is back.
• Mooney M20 - 2007-04-01 Reads like an operating handbook, not an article.
• XB-70 Valkyrie - 2007-10-13 Development section in great shape. Flight testing is covered OK now. Could use more design info.
• Haynes Aero Skyblazer - 2007-07-01 Roadable aircraft or flying car under development. Clean-up and expand as more information comes available.
• F-104 Starfighter - 2007-09-23 Expand to sub-articles on S-variant, variants, and operators. In talk phase, see Talk:F-104 Starfighter.
• Boeing 737 - 2008-01-22 Article is being rewritten/reworked now. Help where you can.
• Aermacchi MB-326 - 2007-10-12 Textdump has added lots of information but needs large amounts of editing.
• Savoia-Marchetti S.83‎ - 2007-10-12 Textdump has added lots of information but needs large amounts of editing, and check any of the recent additions to Italian aircraft articles for more of the same.
• Bede BD-5 - 2007-10-12 Large areas of the text have been challenged as {advert} violations.
• F-14 Tomcat - 2007-10-31 Has overly detailed design subsections. Details need to be summarized or removed where appropriate. Some upgrade and transformation info needs to be moved to Development also.
• F-4 Phantom II U.S. operators - 2008-05-056 Could use some connecting text and referencing.
