Wikipedia:Peer review/NATO phonetic alphabet/archive1
This is an interesting article, and I'd like to get it featured. What should I do to get improve it? - Ta bu shi da yu 01:02, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- For me, the table is rather ugly and dominates the top of the page. It may be better in two column: since there are 26 letters and 10 numbers, that would make 18 lines plus a header, rather than the 37 lines at present. Also, shouldn't the pronuncucation be in a recognised phonemes, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet, rather than, for example, "AL FAH" (or is this representation specified by ICAO/ITU/FAA?). Also, no images. -- ALoan (Talk) 11:45, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- What images could be used, however? I'll try and get that table into two columns. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:35, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I found and added an image which may make the table partially redundant, though I think the table offers more detail. The image of an FAA morse and phonetic chart shows that the alphabet is in current official use. Also, the Roman phoneticisms used in the table are backed up by their similar appearance in the image. I've also added an attempt at IPA based on careful reading of International Phonetic Alphabet for English. - Keith D. Tyler [flame] 20:06, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
