Talk:Hungarian Air Force

message: I've replaced the Hungarian section headings for English ones, as per various guidelines. Retaining the "Szentgyörgyi Dezső", and "Szolnok" names is reasonable, but giving the Hungarian for "Air Defense Missile Brigade" as a unit name is needlessly obscure.

thread_title:  Change to English 

message: I'm pretty sure that the Hungarian Air Force doesn't have any L-159. The HuAF L-39s are also not upgraded. So, unless there is a source which says the HuAF has L-159 change it to L-39.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BoKriF (talk • contribs) 19:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I don't know what's going on in this article, but this past week has been back and forth, numerous small changes, and no one is explaining why. If you're having a dispute, you need to discuss the matter here on the article talk page. The best way, of course, is to actually [{WP:V|verify]] the information with reliable sources.

thread_title:  Full protection 

message: I wish to edit the section containing the information about the Mi 24 Hind attack helicopters.  It is incorrect that  there are only 2 in service, as I have many sources that says there are upwards of  20.

thread_title:  Edit request on 21 December 2012.  

message: Does any one know  how many Hind attack helicopters the Hungaran air force has?  Someone kept on changing the quantity to only two.  I have seen pictures that are less than a year old showing about five of these helicopters at the same time.  I have also seen videos that are recently new that show about ten to fifteen Hinds.  Yet this article shows that there are only two in service.  I am confused.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.231.98 (talk) 20:30, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mil Mi 24 Hinds 

message: Please, allow me to edit the helicopter section, some info is incorrect as I have many sources that indicate there are more helicopters in service.  Specifically, I am referring to the Mi 24 Hind helicopters as there are many Formal sources that say there are 15 to twenty, compared to the 2 listed here.

message: Someone edited the aircraft section of the page, taking the Hind out of the inventory, personally I think this is wrong.  I reverted the edit because it was unsourced.  Frankly, I think this is untrue, isn't it, please correct me if I'm wrong.  I keep up with the news about the HUNAF, and I think if people keep changing around numbers, this article needs protection.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.231.98 (talk) 01:23, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Without better sources (and lhsn.hu definitely doesn't count - it is clearly an enthusiast site, we cannot say that the Mi-24 has been retired or run out of airframe life. We can say that in December 2012, 5 were in active service, referencing Flight International, and if news does surface in reliable sources (which may include reliable Hungarian language sources such as newspapers - which I would expect to report a major type being retired), report it.Nigel Ish (talk) 14:25, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I am not entirely sure why the pictures can't be placed into the table. Every other list of military equipment have pictures in them, and they are fine, but this one for some reason was not. Can you help me to understand this rule? The wikipedia information page provided to the deletion do not include any information about this, only the fact that we should not use pictures INSTEAD of tables.
Thanks

replies: text: Actually, MOS:IMAGES do not prohibit the usage image within tables and back then (before 2016?) aircraft inventory table of air force pages also have image column. However, if I remember correctly, there was consensus to not to include picture into aircraft inventory table (I couldn't find the discussion though). Personally, I'd prefer not to include image into the table per WP:NOTGALLERY, since most of the time the image included into the table do not belong to that article. For example, you put image of C-390 in your edit, however aircraft in that image do not belong to Hungarian Air Force, but Brazilian Air Force. Thank you Ckfasdf (talk) 04:26, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
