Welcome to the Aviation accident task force, a joint project of WikiProject Aviation and WikiProject Disaster management.

Goals

• To improve the quality of articles documenting accidents and incidents in aviation, as well as those dealing with other aviation safety issues

Scope

Articles dealing with any of the following topics:

• Individual incident/accident articles
• Lists of aviation incidents and accidents
• Articles dealing with advances in aviation safety rules and technology

Proposed notability guidelines are available for comment at WP:Aircrash. To help develop this, a record of accident/incident AfDs has been built.

(Refer also Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Naming)

• For commercial aircraft with a known flight number, the standard article name structure is:

<airline> Flight <flight number>

For example: Korean Air Lines Flight 007, American Airlines Flight 77

• However, if the airline had two same flight numbers for different years, mention the year in '()' such as:

<airline> Flight <flight number> <year>

For example: Aeroflot Flight 3739 (1976), Aeroflot Flight 3739 (1988)

• If the accident was in the same year with the same flight number, then mention the month, along with the year:

<airline> Flight <flight number> <month + year>

For example: Linea Aeropostal Venezolana Flight 253 (June 1956), Linea Aeropostal Venezolana Flight 253 (November 1956)

• For articles on air accidents without a flight number, the title should be in the format:

<year> <airline> <aircraft> <event>

or, if this is not possible,

<year> <place> <event>

unless the accident is notable for the involvement of a particular group, in which case the format should be:

<group> <event>

College sports teams should include the full school name rather than the mascot (for example, Wichita State University football team plane crash). If the incident has a flight number, this format should be used as a redirect.

• For further disambiguation, the year can be added (see for example 1926 Air Union Blériot 155 crash). Some flexibility can be exercised. Examples:
  • 2006 New York City plane crash
  • 1999 South Dakota Learjet crash
  • 2007 Mogadishu TransAVIAexport Airlines Il-76 crash
  • 2007 Blue Angels South Carolina crash

• Exceptions: if the event has acquired a popular name, that name should be used. Examples:
  • Tenerife airport disaster
  • The Day the Music Died
  • Munich air disaster
  • Gimli Glider

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Accident-task-force=yes to the {{WPAVIATION}} project banner at the top of its talk page. This will automatically place it into Category:Aviation accident task force articles. You can also add this to the talk page of images, categories, and templates. Cut and paste this code: {{WikiProject Aviation|Accident-task-force=yes}}

We encourage all members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation to use the translation feature more often. There are many articles that can be created or expanded via translation. The Soviet Aviation Task force needs articles translated into English! Please feel free to join! The Aviation accident task force has a list of missing articles of major aviation accidents that aren't covered on English Wikipedia. Missing women aviators is a small redlist of women aviators for whom we lack biographies. The defunct airlines project is now a task force of WikiProject Airlines – check it out and join today! Find images for Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of aircraft A quick reference to aviation articles that are up for discussion and deletion is available - watchlist it and use it! Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Missing articles lists over 500 articles that require creating or redirecting. Dig in! A template is available to quickly create articles. Go to Template:WPAVIATION creator and start creating! The collaboration and review departments are open. Please visit and nominate or help review articles!
