Record table

Why out of all the available records, choose those three? Are they just ones of interest? It seems that there is an enormous task if we add all the current records and in any case this would not be the appropriate place. Same message left on the author's talk page.

I think 5 to 10, of the most recognizable records, are appropriate for the article. True they will eventually be out-of-date, but so will all of Wikipedia. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 23:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK I have done this. I am still not sure how it will look by the time the other airsports are included. It could get to be unmanageable. JMcC 13:20, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

how do you pronounce it???

Baumgartner's records

I'm removing the recently added data from the table that suggests Felix Baumgartner has set a record in the ballooning category for "Absolute altitude". The FAI rules regarding ballooning require the pilot to return to earth with his balloon - something Baumgartner did not do. He's not eligible for the FAI's ballooning altitude record and therefore it's still held by Ross and Prather for their 1961 flight. As for the categories Baumgartner has made a claim to: Maximum Vertical Speed, Exit Altitude and Vertical Distance of Freefall in the PARACHUTING category, see this page. --212.139.244.241 (talk) 16:07, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested Move

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below; it may be useful to note a similar discussion of a French term often used in English at Talk:Médecins Sans Frontières. Dekimasuよ! 20:35, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fédération Aéronautique Internationale → The World Air Sports Federation – Per Wikipedia guideline at Wikipedia:Article titles that says to use the common English language name and the organizations official English language website at [1] JOJ ^Hutton 18:02, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The website you link's history page seems to indicate otherwise? It says "The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, FAI - The World Air Sports Federation, was founded in 1905." and then proceeds to only refer to itself as the FAI. I suppose I can see an argument for FAI (air sports organization) and arguing that just "FAI" is the English name for the organization, but the full French name seems fine too. SnowFire (talk) 03:03, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose the website uses the french name twice as often as the english and the general web uses the french name 10 times as often as the english. This is without the "The" which would also need to be removed. Gregkaye ✍♪ 04:41, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the French term seems widely used in English, and even more so its acronym "FAI" -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 07:14, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
