Category:Unidentified aircraft

This category contains unidentified, unclassified, unknown or mislabelled aircraft. We would value your expertise to identify these media and find their rightful places in the appropriate category structure. The images should probably be placed in subcategories of Category:aircraft. Thank you very much.

Enable the GoogleImages tab gadget in your preferences and use it to check for images that have been previously published elsewhere. Use {{No permission since}} or {{Copyvio}} where applicable.
Look at the file name and description. Many files marked as unidentified are actually identified and just need appropriate categories. Google Translate may be useful if the description is written in a language that you don't understand.
Check for usage in galleries or on other projects. If the file is used, there will be File usage on Commons and File usage on other wikis headings on the file description page.
Look for clues among the uploader's contributions and upload logs, particularly around the time the file was uploaded, date and time from the metadata of the previous and next photo etc. A link to the uploader's contributions can be found in the File history section on the file description page. A link to the user's logs is at the top of the contributions page. A link to contributions on other projects can be found at the bottom of the contributions page.
If the file was transferred from another project, look at the original uploader's contributions and upload logs.
Look for street signs, house numbers, shop shields, company names or similar clues in the image itself.
Any of the popular webmaps (OSM, Google, Bing) in conjunction with street level imagery providers (Mapillary, OpenStreetCam, Street View) can often be used to pinpoint a more exact location once a general location has been established.

If you are able to identify the subject, edit the description to better explain what the subject is. Remove the file from this category and place it in the most specific applicable categories. If you have figured out exactly where a photo was taken, add {{Location}} to the file description.

If you are not able to fully identify the subject, consider the possibility of moving it to a more specific category for unidentified content. For example, a photo of an unidentified building is more likely to be identified if the country it was taken in is known.

English: This category is for images of aircraft (airplanes, helicopters etc) of unknown type / manufacturer. If you have such information, please note it in the image description, and assign an appropriate category or categories below Category:Aircraft, such as Category:Aircraft by manufacturer. If the picture shows a civilian aircraft with a visible registration code (e.g. "N106US", "G-OBME", "4X-CEJ") try looking up that code with a web search, which may find it at registration database sites (like http://www.airport-data.com/) or photo-sharing sites (like http://www.jetphotos.com/ or http://www.airliners.net/). This may also sometimes work for serial numbers visible on military aircraft, for example those of the United States or United Kingdom.

Français : Cette catégorie recueille les images d'aéronefs (avions, hélicoptères, etc. ) de type ou de constructeurs non identifiés. Si vous connaissez une telle information, merci de la noter dans la description de l'image et d'attribuer à celle-ci la catégorie appropriée ou une sous catégorie de Category:Aircraft, comme Category:Aircraft by manufacturer. Si l'image montre un avion civil avec un code d'enregistrement visible (par ex. "N106US", "G-OBME"), essayer de trouver ce code sur le site http://www.airliners.net/
