World War Z

You added two pictures to the movie's page but I think it would be better to put them on the Discussion tab as they didn't show the plane as seen on the screen. Or a link to the forum where a dedicated topic already exists. LVCDC 04:54, 25 November 2013 (MST)

Hyphen in aircraft manufacturer

I've engaged a wide change on all pages of aircraft manufacturer needing hyphens, in order to recover a clean list of aircraft with no mixture between types of aircraft and types of manufacturers, when new names results from merge between two different manufacturers. For instance:
Before this change, list of Fairchild aircraft appeared as:
Fairchild C-82 Packet
Fairchild Hiller FH-1100
Fairchild PT-19
Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderboldt II
Since the move of Fairchild Hiller to Fairchild-Hiller, the order of the list is more correct with non split alphabetic order on the Fairchild aircraft:
Fairchild C-82 Packet
Fairchild PT-19
Fairchild-Hiller FH-1100
Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderboldt II
Therefore all the following aircraft list are concerned too:

Boeing Vertol ==> Boeing-Vertol (done)
Fairchild Republic(done)
Fairchild Swearingen (done)
Grumman American (done)
North American Rockwell (done)
Hawker Siddeley (on work)
Lockheed Martin
McDonnell Douglas
Northrop Grumman

I don't think it's necessary to put a redirection advise on the previous page (with no hyphen) because it pollutes the new aircraft page with a useless SUB CATEGORY. So I prefer to blank them definitively. With use, every body will go easily into this. Thanks. Sixcyl 07:08, 15 December 2013 (MST)

Questions

Thanks for asking first.

1. There has been some discussion on this, and I think we agreed it was OK as it highlights they're not real aircraft, which depending on the film might not be obvious to everyone.

2. As the above is OK, this is too.

3. We have agreed in the past against commercials. Not really the aim of the site.

Russian / Soviet Movies

I'm glad that you post several movies of the former Eastern Block as IMPDB was suffering a big lack about some of te most important aircraft types.
As cyrilic alphabet isn't allow among title (and I think it's a sad rule which cut us from most of these populations), I think it's strange to give registrations in CCCP- form. This should be SSSR- isn't. Or like I try to do from now, to give them (like movie's title) in both alphabets. Your advice will be precious in order we can work with the same rule. Regards. LVCDC 16:51, 25 February 2014 (MST)

Thanks for your reply ; I'm too split between using cyrillic (which gives more results through a search engine as you say) and latin alphabet (which is in accordance with companies names and types use in section's titles). In order to search among movies on IMPDB, we must say what we'll do. Or ask to the admin ... LVCDC 19:01, 25 February 2014 (MST)

You've -and Sixcyl too- convieced me and I will correct all the SSSR- registrations I've written these last weeks. LVCDC 12:16, 13 March 2014 (MDT)

Good News About the Picture Uploading

Not fully fixed, the bug about the automatic resizing of the screenshot uploaded is no more a problem. Just take care to preview the page. If the 500 pixel display doesn't work, try again a preview or reloaded the picture. Look at 1984 for example. LVCDC 12:16, 13 March 2014 (MDT)

Aircraft Category

Why did you create these pseudo categories "Aircraft" redirected to "Category:aircraft" ?Sixcyl 01:13, 17 March 2014 (MDT)

By the way, when you create a new category, please fill the dedicated page instead leaving it blank. With Wikipedia, even if you don't know the story of this aircraft, it's easy to write some lines, just introducing the wiki link. So readers will not click to nowhere. Thanks to think about this.
