This page is an archive for old talk relating to WikiProject Aircraft. New questions, comments, and discussions should be directed to the project's talk page.

Regarding the table, since we are using the style attribute, it's occurred to me that perhaps it would be useful to define styles in the wikipedia style sheet for tables that go on the left top of the page (tables for aircraft, and for other WikiProjects would follow the same principles. I was thinking of something like this:

table uses full width of page
table uses full width of page (as necessary), body text doesn't flow around it

fullwidth tables would be useful for big tables inside the body of the page.

table at left of page
tab is fixed size at left of page, body text flows around it

I don't know where leftflow tables would be useful, but they might be, somewhere.


table at right of page
tab is fixed size at right of page, body text flows around it

rightflow tables would be useful for the tables that go at the top right of pages, both in descriptions of aircraft, and in many other places.

I've just had a go at fixing the Dassault Rafale article. It had far too many large pictures and bad formatting. It still needs major work in the copyediting departments and needs going through to make it properly NPOV. David Newton 20:13, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It reads like a cut'n'paste from another source, too. Hopefully a PD one. —Morven 21:03, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I've gone round and fixed the image format, tweaked the data table, and worked on the first paragraph. Boy, does it need work. —Morven 21:27, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
