Questions about source[edit]

naval-encyclopedia.com claims to based on several sources https://naval-encyclopedia.com/naval-aviation/ww2/japan/nakajima-a4n.php , but the account of the trials disagrees with Mitsubishi A6M Zero By James D’Angina (Page 8). I am commenting it out for now, after questions were raised. Dog dump was in this source, seems to be a slang term for a close in dogfight, I think jargon that we can leave out of the article. Hopefully in time we can get more accurate information about this aircraft's development and testing. A75 (talk)

Appears to be a self-published source WP:SPS and not acceptable as a reliable source. I've not seen that source used in any Wikipedia aircraft articles on my watchlist (circa 5,000). Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 16:17, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
