message: As an aircraft article, this page falls under the Wikipedia Aircraft Project. The project has guidlines for aircraft article at WP:AIR Page content Guidelines, which give a suggested format for aircraft articles. While these are just suggestions, following the guidleines does have an affect on whether or not the article can achieve a higher status. This is especially important as this page is currently rated as "Start Class", the second lowest class, just above a "Stub". In addition, these guidelines are an attempt to standardize presentation in the vairous aircraft ariticle, for the ease of both readers and editors.
While Wikipedia in general has guidelines for articles, projects are allowed to have their own guidelines which suit their particular needs. It is very disruptive to attempt to change an article solely because it does not follow the general guidelines, but while it is following those of the project. Please refrain from such disruptions in the future. If there is a particular reason that this page should depart from WP:AIR's guidelines, in whole or in part, please discuss them here, and build a consensus to have the article's format changed before attempting further changes. Thanks. - BillCJ 03:51, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm so sorry about all of the work you had to do to "fix" that. That must be very stressful for you. I must admit, though, that I found the addition of the heading 'See also' for the footer amusing, as it is already has bold, centered headings and is enclosed by boxes. "Related content" violates our own style manual, and "Operators" and "Operational service" are the same subject and clutter the table of contents.--Gnfgb2 05:18, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

text: No, I haven't, because the consensus of the project can be found at the "Manual of Style" page, and publications cannot have radically different styles for each of their entries. (See Merriam-Webster's Manual for Writer's and Editors for more information.) Canvassing is also against Wikipedia policy, by the way. Your initial edit summary is what really set the sarcastic tone for our discussion. Nevertheless, Rlandmann's version seems like an acceptable compromise.--Gnfgb2 07:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

message: It doesn't match up to the user's list. Most notably Sudan is not colored in. I am new, so I don't know how to change an image like that, but if somebody could that'd be great.

thread_title:  The User Map? 

message: This used to be a very good and interesting article written by someone who had taken his time to do some researchon the subject and who damn well allmost succeeded in clearing up the incredible amount of Chinese variants and sub-variants. Now it looks as though somebody with far less knowledge and a lot more fantasy has had it's way with the article. Especially everything that follows the subtitle 'F-7M Airguard' is an embarrasing heep of nonsense - reading something like '1980's Airguards with double-delta wings that are 40% more effective 'according to customer claims' is just plain painfull. Since the PAF and its obviously truly heroic pilots time and again come out as the inventors of efficiency I already have a feeling where all these needless 'contributions' came from. To the wonderfull little PAF-fan who blessed wikipedia with his tireless efforts I would like to say stop writing what you think/feel/would like to be real and try to look up some credible sources, or even better, leave this kind of articles to engineers or historians who do know what the words objective,scientific and unbiased mean. And stop embarassing yourself and the PAF while at it. 
That's the sad thing about wikipedia - good articles destroy themselves. I consider these latest 'contributions' to be vandalism.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.29.253.57 (talk) 00:10, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

message: Per WP:AIRMOS Lead Image of an aircraft article should contain the best possible view of the aircraft in flight. There are currently better images of the J7/F7 available on Commons which provide a better 3/4 view of the aircraft in flight which is better than a top-down view with a laughable caption. 
Below are the nominated images to replace the current image in the article. All of the images show the aircraft in flight with a 3/4 view:

replies: text: The caption mentioned "PAF F-7 Jet" which is incorrect. Furthermore, it shows the jet from the top, an ideal image would be to show the jet from the 3/4 of the view as per the guidelines.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2404:3100:1443:5FB5:BC84:12FF:FED3:49E8 (talk) 04:08, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
