Article title[edit]

Would "2018 Russian Air Force Antonov An-26 crash" be a better title? Mjroots (talk) 21:20, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The current title is only good until another An-26 crashes this year! - Ahunt (talk) 21:23, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Accident article naming conventions For articles on air accidents without a flight number, the title should be in the format <<year>> <<airline>> <<aircraft>> <<event>> for example 2016 Russian Defence Ministry Tupolev Tu-154 crash (also the only Tu-154 to crash in this year) --Klõps (talk) 00:22, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Makes sense, so I decided to be WP:BOLD. rchard2scout (talk) 15:20, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of Syrian Civil War[edit]

Many of the categories the article is in mention the Syrian Civil War. But since a shot down has been ruled out and no conclusive cause established is it appropriate to make such connection? 1975 Tân Sơn Nhứt C-5 accident took place during the Vietnam War but the cause of the crash had nothing to do with the conflict.
