Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Assessment/Instructions

Below are instructions for improving film articles from one class to another. Every element does not have to be met if other areas of the article are more developed.

Stub to Start-Class upgrading instructions
To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:
 * Significant intro (Name or names of the aircraft, engine or company, purpose, significance, nationality or location, why it was developed or organization formed and if appropriate: the manufacturer, general configuration, major categories (ie fighter/bomber/radial/inline etc etc), major dates - ie first use, first flight, service entry, retirement, number built, .)
 * An appropriate infobox (Infobox Aircraft Type, Infobox Airline, etc.)
 * Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely relevant free images. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
 * History
 * At least two other developed sections of information (x, y, etc.)
 * Categories (by year, country, etc.)
