Petebutt nice editing the article looks much better now. I will sure to follow your article structure when I add to this later. Doing this list article to complement my other main list which is a work in progress List of Classes of British ships of World War II Anonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 12:07, 29 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Just a heads up moving the Barracuda image on this page to its actual page as the current main article image is terrible and only shows the underside of the aircraft and so needs replacing. I will implement image changes made on this article(actual full name of Squadron in caption) . PS not sure I can put links for Captions for images in templates so I just wrote the caption in but people can go to the fairey Barracuda page and put a link in if that is possible.

Also Graeme Legget thanks for the contributions they have done a lot Anonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 23:22, 1 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Look at some of my edits and you can see how to format the references. If you're not ready to use the template form then just put formated text between the <ref /ref>. GraemeLeggett (talk) 22:57, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am putting Spitfire in land only fighters page. Also Graeme where is the template form for formatting the references and how should I format them? I usually just try and avoid making repeats in my references when I put them down Don,t think about them otherwise. Joined a month ago so my knowledge about Wikipedia processes is limited. If you tell me how to format I will happily implement it. I would try and scrutinise the history a bit more to find out what yyou did but do not have a lot of time it would probably be easier if you told me what the formatting was if it would not bother you. It is just without being told I am not so knowledgeable on the references side of things so I may struggle to find how you formatted otherwise Anonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 22:53, 5 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Have a look at |this edit. You can see where I move the parts of the citation text into the right places in the template parameters.

Not a huge change but if you are using the template, then the contents need to be in the right places. GraemeLeggett (talk) 08:53, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see the structure your using now date after the name of the author and ISBN after page number will be sure to correct the citations in this article and others to that standard and implement that in future citations. Thanks for the explanation Anonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 10:01, 6 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]

OK this list seems complete. It may possibly still need some minor changes but as it is a complete list I will take off the under construction template. I will stay go back over this article and try to improve it in things like citations and structure Anonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 10:22, 6 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Just realised going over the list of aircraft of the United Kingdom in World War II that this list missed the Hellcat as it was not on the list of FAA Aircraft we were using. I will add it in immediately and them use this list to replace all the FAA fighters on the other list as this would make the list less cluttered making it easier to access the RAF fighters on the listAnonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 18:51, 16 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Graeme that was very quick pretty impressive. I just wrote a message for you on your talk page to make sure you were notified and you have already edited the article before I sent that.Also nice picture of the CAM Hurricane it is pretty good in how dramatic it is as you said Anonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 23:15, 16 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]
