Talk:Aérospatiale Alouette III

Merge IAR 316
there is no consensus to merge at this point. --Born2flie 16:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support. Seems to be only a license-built aircraft and there is precedent to cover those aircraft under the variant they were license-built as, unless there is a large amount of unique coverage. - BillCJ 01:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support. Guess I forgot to throw my own vote in here. A scrap of an article that simply refers back to information that is in this article. It begs to be merged! --Born2flie 02:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support. Seems reasonable to merge - the IAR article doesn't add much new information anyway.Nigel Ish 18:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]]Oppose Although the article does not currently cover much new material, I think there is potential for some expansion, espiecially considering several Romanian varients that are unique to IAR (including two gunship versions). I would be willing to help expand the article a little, but I will need some time, not much but a little, perhaps a week.  I suggest we should wait until then to make a final decision.SAWGunner89 15:44, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm prepared to wait until at least 8 April 2007. --Born2flie 22:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]]Oppose I have the same opinion like SAWGunner89.The IAR 316 is a quite popular helicopter in Romania and I strongly oppose the merge of this article with the Alouette III. I will also try to expand this article. Eurocopter Tigre, 19:27 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]]Oppose See also TR-85 and AIM (rifle) for example, which are independent articles. If we merged the IAR 316 to the Alouette article, then you should probably consider moving all the articles in the Category:Kalashnikov derivatives to AK-47 or all the T-55 variants to the main article as well.

I have added to the article. I do not have any experience posting pictures though, so if someone could help me out there it wouldbe much appreciated.SAWGunner89 17:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Article is still a Stub-class article. --Born2flie 16:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

South African flag
Please, please change the 'operators' link to the post-apartheid South African flag -- the old one is the subject of much contention; only activists still use it.152.111.1.29 19:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * It's there because that was the flag of South Africa during the period in which the Alouette III was in use. There is a difference between history and activism. I would think you'd want the correct flag of the period used, especially since it represents a government you apparantly disagree with, and who probably use the helicoter in support of their policies. But heck, if you want to give your approval to the government of that period by changing the flag to that of the current nation, then go ahead and change it yourself. I'm not going to get into a revert war with you over it - I just won't assist your history revisionism. - BillCJ 21:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
