Talk:Sukhoi Su-27
How can the USSR-leaders have voted for a plane against the F-15 and F-16 in 1969; both US planes weren't operational at that time! A mistake in the year, or in the planes? Jeronimo 00:16 Jul 29, 2002 (PDT)

I introduced some technical data from a Russian reference book "Modern Combat Aircraft: Reference guide", ISBN 985-6163-10-2). I think that as this information constitutes merely reference data that is otherwise in public domain, I do not violate the copyright. What do you think about it? --Uri
- As far as I know, it is impossible to copyright facts, so you're safe here. On the other hand, the authors of this book have collected this data in a book, so it may be required to quote them as the source of these facts. That would be good practice anyway, since facts may differ between sources. Jeronimo 02:20 Jul 29, 2002 (PDT)
On a different note, I have experimented before with some standardising of the aircraft pages at F-171 and Fokker Dr.I. So far, my idea of standardising has stopped at putting all the characteristics in a table. Does any of the editors to this page - Uri, WojPob, others? - have any other suggestions on this? Maybe we can work out some general template for this kind of pages. I've done something similar with the WikiProject Countries, and a pretty good template has come up for the country pages (see examples at Netherlands, Liechtenstein and United States). Interested?
