=Categorization of aircraft= Going by the dictionary definition of "aircraft" helicopters, airships and balloons are also aircraft. With that in mind the division of aircraft into the pages [[Aircraft]] and [[Helicopter]] is not completely logical (and leaves me wondering where to put the airships :). Renaming [[Aircraft]] to [[Airplane]] (and moving the airships and the balloon to their own page) might be one solution. What do you think? [[User:AndersG|AndersG]] 11:04, 15 September 2008 (EDT) ---- Hm, this is a hard question. If we have a seperate page for every category we'd still have troubles. Vehicles by example could contain eveything people use to move, including aircraft/plane. It's simple to make categories for eveything, since we could add categories into categories like we have at the [[:Category:Aircraft]]. But on the other side, a nice page with thumbnails is also a nice feature, if you know how a plane looks like, but you don't know it's name/manufacter... We could also make a simple (alphabetical ordered) list of planes, without thumbnails, like the list I made for the [[Suggested Airports/Scenery]] article (click the symbols to order). The easy thing is that you could sort it on manufactur, type of vehicle, name etc. Maybey we should talk about this on the forum. More people will read it there... EDIT: I see FG already made I page! I will extend it: [[Table of models]] [[User:Gijs|Gijs]] 11:36, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
