[edit] Unobserved?

The Twin JN may not have gotten the "O/OA" identifier, but it was rated an observation aircraft... Cat as such, no? Trekphiler (talk) 20:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

It is in the appropriate cat for an observation aircraft Category:United States military reconnaissance aircraft 1910-1919 ?

It was [[Category:United States aircraft 1910-1919|Twin JN, Curtiss]] that got deleted. My bad. Trekphiler (talk) 21:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

We categorise observation aircraft under reconnaissance. Our "role" categories are deliberately broad in order to make them as relevant as possible to the widest range of aircraft as possible. The O-/OA- designation has nothing to do with categories; only the use of the navbox for that particular sequence of designations. And no aircraft article should ever be placed in generic categories like Category:United States aircraft 1910-1919; they're for organising the category tree only (or for the occasional article about the subject of the category itself; if we had an article like Aircraft production in the United States during World War I, it could be categorised in the example we're talking about). --Rlandmann (talk) 02:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
