Usage of Vectorsite references

[edit]

References, by definition, are there to verify information. Therefore, they have to be verifiable/reliable. As established three and a half years ago in the F-4 Phantom's FAC review, and further discussed in WP:Aviation Archive 19's discussion on the matter, Vectorsite is not a verifiable source, that is a source complicant with WP:V or or WP:RS. Self-published sources are allowed as external links of interest, but are not good enough for the role of acting as a verifier for article content. It may be an informative personal account, but it is logically the same as using one part of wikipedia to verify another part. Please do not revert attempts to install compliant sources such as respectable published science journals as replacements. Kyteto (talk) 12:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). BilCat (talk) 16:01, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, the short form doesnt have a full stop and they have not been used in these short from contractions for a number of years. You have to remember it is a contraction of the official abbreviation AEW Mk 3. MilborneOne (talk) 13:27, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
