Notability of entries

I've been working offline to turn this list into a tabled list. Something I've noticed is the enormous number of entries with no hint mentioned of usage, development or manufacture and also do not link to any article. The entry might be something like AN/ARC-1 with absolutely no information. If I don't get any objections with rationale, I'm going to delete those entries as "not notable" enough to be on this list. Otherwise, we would need to list every combination from AN/ARC-1 to the last possible AN/ARC-999, and that just doesn't make sense… Any objections? — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 06:00, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure anyone is even watching this page as it seems to be lacking in recent edits. Update: I’ve made huge progress in getting the list table-fied, and I’d like to invite public comment before I make sweeping change to the current list. If you’d like to chime in on my work, please take a look here. Be sure to leave a comment with a “yay” or “nay” to the format. Thanks in advance. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 04:51, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AN/ALR-2002

@Decooldude:, hi... I noticed you added an entry for the AN/ALR-2002 RWR which was developed in Australia for Australian military aircraft. Unfortunately, the title of this List of military electronics of the United States is very specifically aimed at "electronics of the United States". I don't mean to be a stickler, but although it carries the AN/ designation, it seems the ALR-2002 doesn't really belong on this list. Thoughts or justifications for leaving it on this list? — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 11:48, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hi, i thought i removed it because it is an Australian RWR? Decooldude (talk) 23:12, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thank you very much. I've been working hard offline for a few weeks to improve the page. I've come a long way, but there is so much more to do before I can publish it. It almost feels like I've bitten off more than I can chew. If you (or anyone else) is interested, take a look at User:TadgStirkland401/Draft Replacement for List of military electronics of the United States… Comments or even a helping hand are much more than welcome. I'm focused now on finding sources to cite for as many entries as I can. Thanks again. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 00:33, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! I think what you're doing is really impressive, good work mate. Glancing through it, the only things that seem to need working on are just putting the company in for types with a page. But, I will have a thorough look at a later time. Decooldude (talk) 04:39, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AN/VRC-46

@Jim92065, I noticed you added the AN/VRC-46 to the list. But you did not add anything like a description, uses or manufacturers. Do you have a good link or two that someone could use to flesh out the entry a little more? — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 00:32, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jim92065, I found the AN/VRC-46 listed as part of the AN/VRC-12 article and created a redirect for it. I also found a different citable source than the ones used on the VRC-12 page. I'm just about done with as much as I want to do for the moment on restructuring the page. Please take a look here at what I've done and let me know what you think. I'll probably make all the changes to this article by the weekend, and I'd love to get some feedback. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 23:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restructured (table-ized)

Alright, I've finished with my modification to table-ize this (List of military electronics of the United States) to this (click here). If someone doesn't oppose the change in the next few days, I'll move those changes to the list you all see in the main namespace. This is still just a suggestion. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 21:49, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 18:21, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fairey Gannet

@Miner4472, the Fairey Gannet you added to the APS-20 entry is a Royal Air Force aircraft. This list is supposed to be limited to electronics of the United States. Can you revert that edit? — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 23:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Miner4472, thank you for reverting. If we added all operators of each piece of equipment, this list would very quickly become way out of hand. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 00:07, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah - damn right with that. Too much on the page already lol. Miner4472 (talk) 00:08, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good point about the length. I’ve considered splitting the list for easier editing, but I’m worried of the affect on readability. You’ve added tons of entries. What are your thoughts on splitting it up a bit? — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 03:10, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AAM Equipment

Does anyone know, is the equipment listed in the AN/AAM section mounted inside of aircraft, or is it strictly for use on equipment on the flightline or backshop? — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 17:14, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

When adding to this list, please include either a link to an article about the item listed or that mentions the item, or provide a citation to a reliable source. Items that do not meet these requirements may be removed from the list. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 21:32, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
