Talk:Argentine Air Force

message: Someone please add this information to the article (from the FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II page):
Despite the fact that it never went beyond prototype stage due to economic reasons, the Pulqui is still considered important in aviation history because it was the first jet fighter to be entirely developed and built in Latin America, making Argentina the 6th country in the world to develop such technology on its own.
Thanks. --OneEuropeanHeart 05:59, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The numbers in this section are wrong, e.g. A-4AR are 34, only 2 have been official retired due crashes, some are stored but could return to operational status at no time. Same for Mirages. It is not accurate to take these numbers from a Netherland's  spotters website --Jor70 (talk) 18:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, in this case, I'd suggest being bold and ditching the non-RS, and adding the numbers from a more 'local' source. - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 20:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I suggest instead of reverting edits with no argument except from your own bias opinion, that you should find (like Bushranger said) a more 'local' source. Other wise the current source and its figures stay, even if its not a RS. Which it isnt. It must be said that Orbat has been and still is widely used on wiki.
Also your dispute dosent merit a box on the wiki article and i have thus removed it from the article. When you have a valid source then feel free to revive this dispute. Other wise this is all a waste of time. Thanks. Recon.Army (talk) 18:06, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I notice above that a 'tidy up' has been noted from several months ago. I have begun to do that as of May 2021. IMO there is a lot more to do than merely ironing out the rough translations from the Spanish original. 
1..Much of the detail is not needed and amounts to verbosity and clutter.
2..This is an English language article and so names should be in English first with the Spanish name second, and only if needed for clarity...unless the Spanish name is commonly used in English.
3..There is some weasel wording and nationalist bravado that needs to be sorted out.
4..Most of the references are not reliable secondary sources. Many of those references are also poorly written primary sources some of which should simply be removed.
5..Some of the references, even though they are primary, do contain some useful detail. If appropriate they could be put into external links. I do understand that any article of this nature is likely to have to rely on statistical data and some primary information, but this should be kept to a minimum.
6..English language sources would be useful.
Happy to discuss if anyone has alternative opinions on this article. I fully expect I will make mistakes along the way - I am no expert in Spanish or the technical detail of the Argentinian airforce. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 04:30, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
