Talk:Antonov A-40

Photo

I started asking for a photo on the talk page, then searched around and found one that appears to be free-as-in-freedom to use based on Russian law. I hope the photo isn't a hoax, but can't guarantee it. It's in various places on the Web, which of course means little for its authenticity. Maybe a Russian WWII expert could vouch for the photo.

The same picture is in Steven J. Zaloga & James Grandsen, Soviet Tanks and Combat Vehicles of World War Two, labelled as a designer's model. Zaloga is the source on Soviet armour, so it must be factual.

Ya gotta love a piece of hardware that falls into both Category:World War II Soviet tanks and Category:Soviet military aircraft 1940-1949! —Michael Z. 2005-10-11 20:56 Z

Thanks for the verification. Do you know what "designer's model" means? Is this a snapshot of a 2-foot-long wooden, painted model? Tempshill 15:45, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Something like that. Looking at it closely, I think either the illustration was heavily retouched and airbrushed, or this is simply a design illustration made by a draftsman. —Michael Z. 2005-10-14 16:54 Z

Bet this baby had quite a steep glideslope. —Michael Z. 2005-10-12 07:01 Z

Greatest invention of the 20th century

I now officially declare this to be the greatest invention of the 20th century.

yes it is much more usefull than penicillin don't you think? Joeyjojo 03:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Common adverse drug reactions associated with use of the penicillins include: diarrhea, nausea, rash, urticaria, and/or superinfection (including candidiasis). Infrequent adverse effects include: fever, vomiting, erythema, dermatitis, angioedema, and/or pseudomembranous colitis. Pain and inflammation at the injection site is also common for parenterally-administered benzathine benzylpenicillin, benzylpenicillin, and to a lesser extent procaine benzylpenicillin

Yes, very useful eh? FYI: Penicillin will supposedly kill me. I don't need fungus injected into me anyway.

See also

Aerobird placed the see also links in a template at the end of the article. I am reverting to the consensus version, because using the template seems to be slavishly following an out-of-place convention, without improving the articrle. Please discuss here rather than reverting again.

• External links go at the end of an article, according to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(headings)#Standard_appendices and Wikipedia:Guide_to_layout#Standard_appendices.
• What's the point of the aircontent template?—it adds a requirement for complex template code simply to add three non-standard headings, which don't reflect their content anyway (see below).
• The T-80 and T-84 tanks are not "comparable aircraft"; they are main battle tanks.
• There is no point in adding an empty "Specifications" section with yet another template, for a vehicle which was never completed and thus has no specifications. If specifications miraculously appear, then they can still be added, although I think they would belong in template:AFV or template:Infobox Weapon.
• The subject of this article is not an airplane. It is an airmobile T-60 tank variant, with drop-off wings. It belongs to an airborne infantry organization and its role is (ground-based) infantry fire support. The aircraft templates are not perfectly suited to this any more than they are for articles about parachutes.

Well to me, it fits the definition of an airplane - it does have wings, after all. But if you think it works better w/out... *shrugs* I reckon I've no real problem with that. Template:Antonov aircraft, however, should at least be included. - Aerobird ^{Target locked - Fox One!} 16:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
