From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • I am a long-time user of wikipedia, who has only recently developed the courage to start editing articles.
  • My username comes from the USAAF 392nd Bombardment Group, who flew Consolidated B-24 Liberators.
  • As a young boy, my father took me around the country collecting aircraft registrations, both civil & military. I am just old enough to remember when Heathrow actually welcomed people who came to look at the pretty planes. And when the police did turn up to move you along, they kindly gave you two minutes to finish taking your photograph first.
  • Actually aircraft spotting was mostly my father's hobby; I just joined in.
  • These days it is the USAF at RAF Lakenheath that roll out the red carpet for aircraft enthusiasts. How ironic!
  • And finally... the site below might look like it is about the B-24 Liberator, but actually it's 100% about the Wendling Crusaders. And yeah, I don't know how they got away with it either.

MOS:Infobox The purpose of an infobox is to summarize, but not supplant, the key facts that appear in an article. An article should remain complete with its infobox ignored. The less information that an infobox contains, the more effectively it serves its purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance. Information should be presented in a short format, wherever possible, and exclude unnecessary content.

A disinfobox offers a competitive counter-article, stripped of nuance, making it a poor substitute for accuracy and complexity. If the infobox contains only information found in the lead, it is a disinfobox. If the infobox is longer than a third of the article's body, it is a disinfobox. If a biographical infobox contains only a photo, a person's occupation, and date and place of birth/death, it is a disinfobox. If the infobox contains multiple entries within any identifying field, it is probably a disinfobox. (note; there are also counter-arguments to these ideas)
