Incorrect article title
[edit]The article title is not correct. It should read "Fournier RF 4" instead of "Fournier RF-4".
Official sources:
- EASA TCDS
- Type certificate of German Luftfahrtbundesamt
- Official Maintenance Manual by Sportavia Pützer.
The same applies to the Fournier RF-3 and the Fournier RF-5. --Uli Elch (talk) 18:45, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- I think you are right there. Want to go ahead and move them? - Ahunt (talk) 21:50, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- I'd like to wait for another few days to give some more editors time for replies. But thanks anyhow! Regards --Uli Elch (talk) 22:33, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- Ahunt: Done for RF-4, rest will follow. Regards --Uli Elch (talk) 15:22, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- I would suggest that RF-4 is far more common as painted on an aircraft in this article. MilborneOne (talk) 11:01, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
- Even though having been encouraged to do the move rapidly, I intentionally wanted "wait for another few days to give some more editors time for replies", see above. So there was your occasion to comment, since 6 days ago.
- We do not call the article about the Boeing 747 "Jumbo Jet", even though this "is far more common".
- The name on the aircraft picture you referred to is completely misspelled anyhow. It reads "Fournier-RF-4 D", that's like writing "Boeing-747 200". --Uli Elch (talk) 12:13, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
- I would file the name on the aircraft in that photo under "marketing". - Ahunt (talk) 14:52, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
- Might be that in the UK the LAA type certificate uses RF-3, RF-4D and RF-5 http://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/engineering/homebuilt_vintage.html MilborneOne (talk) 18:16, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
- We have often seen this where the manufacturer doesn't even use their own designations consistently, let alone importers or dealers.
- In the US they seem to be registered as FOURNIER R.F.4.D and in the UK as FOURNIER RF4D. - Ahunt (talk) 18:42, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
