links to individual articles about RAF Squadrons, this article does not link to articles about individual ATC squadrons but merely links to place names, where the articles have no content about the ATC, so would seem tenuous at the very least. I was the original author for this article after being asked to move the drivel it has become as it did not meet Wiki standards. Nobody has bothered to do anything with it apart from adding place names, therefore I have now added a speedy delete tag to this and it will be due to be deleted today.

A lot of people have had problems editing this page as you can see from the edit section. Not all squadrons have been put in the table etc. because of bad formatting. I trying to clean up some of this (mainly 3 welsh wing at the moment as i'm in it) but will try to clean up more when i've got time.

The PROD has been moved by one editor (Colonel Bogey/Blimp whatever he calls himself) he has not bothered to justify he reasons which fly's in the face of WP conventions, he did however when challenged gave the article List of RAF Squadrons as an example why this one should stay. However that list

I tend to patrol the atc pages. I'm in the organisation myself. Don't forget if you create an article. Don't forget it must be notable, verifiable and it must not read like an advertisement as previous squadron articles have sounded like. Regarding naming i suggest something based like this 360

Yes, it appears that a lot of contributors to this article are having difficulties editing the tables. It has to be said the layout of the tables doesn't make this easy. I suggest a better layout would be to have one row for each wing, with a sorted list of squadrons for each wing. Given the

Excellent! I was going to do something similar myself, but the amount of work involved was putting me off! One suggestion I'd make is to use multiple columns (maybe two or three) to reduce the amount of blank space in the page - see
367: 169: 58: 105: 351: 165: 1091:
There is a great blank space down the right hand side of this article. Perhaps this could be filled with the pictures of each wing/regions emblem/flag. If someone could upload some images that would be great.

was created and speedily deleted unfortunately (I have asked for it to be brought back). I was wondering if the article would be called 2352 (Stone) squadron Air Training Corps or No. 2352 (Stone) squadron

No, wikipedia is not a collection of external links. I will be linking the location of each squadron to an article on wikipedia concerning that village/town/city.

Not sure that the article has any encyclopedic value I am sure it breaks a lot of guidelines about list for the sake of it. Would be better as an article about

I was wondering what was meant by filling up the page. I use IE and it still looks the same. I still believe pictures would give the article a better feel.
194: 160: 733:
Problem - Some of the squadrons I've seen are not even in the right wing. Anyone know where I could find a list of squadrons and they're wings?

which could give some background into the how they are organised, established and closed. It has no historic information at all. Any thoughts.
1029:
This article is looking much better now. All it needs is the locations of the squadrons to be linked to articles, which i shall start myself.

I've just noticed the templates I used to do this only work in certain web browsers - for instance, they have no effect in IE7 or Opera.
1049:
Ummm - part of the new formatting was to remove the numerous links to the actual squadrons - your not going to start that again are you?

While including external links to individual squadron websites may be useful, WP isn't really the right place to do this, according to

different numbers of squadrons in each wing it doesn't make sense to have a fixed number of columns (or rows in the current layout).

I can't find any sources but it looks as though 41DF (Wellington) has been disbanded/doesn't exist. Can anyone confirm? --

I agree with this, if its not added to in any substantial way then I would expect it to be up for deletion by years end.

The table format has been removed, as this was getting very messy as people didn't know how to format it.

I agree. Does the table format work on this page? Perhaps it should just be split into the ATC regions..
