message: While the article might perhaps be edited, it is hardly a stub--and isn't the stub warning a standard format at the top? I will remove the comment (at the bottom of the article) unless someone objects. --Cubdriver 22:11, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

message: dear all, this article IMO contains a lot of unsupported "data dump". A lot of info is uncited and may be dubious. I have started researching and hopefully the article will be along the lines of the ISRO one. cheers  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarayamraja (talk • contribs) 13:03, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I don't speak Hindi and I can't read Devanagari, so I don't want to attempt it and get anything wrong. Can anyone who does speak Hindi put a transliteration/romanization of the name and abbreviation in the opening? Thanks! Lockesdonkey (talk) 21:39, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Should the new Tejas mk 2 now known as Medium Weight Fighter be counted as a separate in house developed product of HAL since it's in the Medium aircraft category not in light aircraft category as Tejas is or be counted as a part of HAL Tejas Program  Mayank Prasoon (talk) 13:06, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It's obviously a development of the LCA, though heavier, hence the new program name. Whether or not it will receive a new name instead of Tejas Mk2, we don't know at this time. I'm not sure what else you're asking, if anything. - BilCat (talk) 20:26, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

text: It probably will be split to its own article eventually, but that decision won't be made here, but on the Tejas article's talk page. - BilCat (talk) 19:11, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Note I have replaced the huge galleries with representative images, we dont normally do galleries when commons is available. Thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 19:07, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: And who gets to decide what the representative images are? You've promptly removed most of the recent aircraft produced by the company while leaving in those that are at least a couple decades old. Besides where's the precedence for not including galleries in articles? They certainly exist in other articles so why not here? Debitpixie 💬 19:14, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

text: I dont have a problem with changing the "representive" images but they dont have to be the most "recent" as this is a history of the firm so they should cover all eras. This is an encyclopedia and not a picture book which is why commons was created so users could create media galleries, certainly other aircraft company articles dont normally feature large galleries. MilborneOne (talk) 19:19, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:   Fair enough I was referring to articles like Metropolis which have plenty of galleries and tried to reason along those lines but I digress. I don't mind fewer pictures as it definitely makes the article look cleaner. However removing images of the LCH and Tejas for example don't make sense as they're probably the most significant aircraft the company has ever developed. The Tejas is to HAL what the F-35 is to Lockheed Martin. Debitpixie 💬 19:32, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I dont have a problem with a Tejas image but some of the earlier types like the Gnat/Ajeet and certainly the Marut were also important in the development of the company, we just need to keep it balanced. MilborneOne (talk) 19:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, the Marut was a significant achievement back in the day. I don't know if I could say the same about the Ajeet, nevertheless it should stay if it can. I definitely think the Tejas and LCH should be added. Do you mind if I do so myself? Debitpixie 💬 19:47, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: OK but we probably need to make sure that all the others are relevant and show the development of the companies products, we dont want add or encourage the addition of images that are not relevant. MilborneOne (talk) 19:51, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:   Alright, I'll add the two images I spoke about. The relevance of the other images can be decided later on. Debitpixie 💬 20:06, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

text: Although not really related Metropolis is not really a good example of image use in an article were it looks like six or seven images of Japan bloat the middle of the article. MilborneOne (talk) 19:43, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: True, they take a lot more real estate than the other gallery sections. Debitpixie 💬 19:50, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
