[edit] Related content in aircraft articles
Hi RandomWalk - the table that you created at the bottom of the B-29, B-32, and B-50 articles belongs to an older page layout standard - the text version is the one currently in use (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/page content ). Please don't convert any more text sections to tables; however help in converting the many pages that still have the old tables on them to the new text standard would be most appreciated! Cheers --Rlandmann 05:11, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Oops! I apologize. I saw both of the formats, but I couldn't find any documentation of the correct format. Thanks for pointing the WikiProject out.
[edit] Cimarron classes
- The article contains no information on the second class which will go into
| Cimarron-class fleet replenishment oiler (1979) |
| Cimarron | Monongahela | Merrimack | Willamette | Platte |
List of auxiliaries of the United States Navy |
when it is added. Apparently, according to RJBurkhart, the old oilers are not "fleet replenishment" vessels. Rmhermen 03:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

- The article mentions "jumbo-izing" some of the oilers, which only occurred with the 1970s-era class of oilers. I will defer to RJBurkhart on wheter they were "fleet replenishment" or not. I suggest that the older classes template and article have the suffix "(1939)" added to their names, and likewise, the newer class have an appropriate year tagged onto their names. --RandomWalk 04:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- Your suggestion here is nearly the opposite of RJBurkhart's complaint. I have no knowledge of this area but think that Cimarron class fleet replenishment oiler and Cimarron class oiler are distinctive names. I don't know about any jumbo-izing which appears an awkward term in itself. Rmhermen 05:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
