Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:12, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is uncited text, including entire paragraphs. The "Maintenance" section is quite short and could be expanded. Z1720 (talk) 03:07, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I am the editor who did the initial GA Review back in 2017. I am swamped with real life at the moment and simply cannot work on any issues of this truly massive article but have a few thoughts on this GAR:
  • I skimmed the article and counted 3 paragraphs that contained no citations, so there is some uncited content.
  • And yes the Maintenance section is quite short and is also unreferenced.
  • The main issue I see with this present version is that many instances of referenced content haven't been updated since 2017, so the content is woefully out of date.

There are also uncited statements at the end of paragraphs. I use User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages to show what is uncited in an article. Z1720 (talk) 05:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, ok, that's a tool I am not familiar with- thanks. I guess I'm thinking the uncited sentences/paragraphs could possibly just be excised without any major loss to the main content. The fact that so much of the information is frozen in time and is out of date by at least 7 years...*that* to me is a bigger problem. I'm surprised folks from WP:WikiProject Aviation or WP:WikiProject Aircraft haven't weighed-in or volunteered. I mean, really, this article is not in an area of my expertise or interests...I'm just the editor who reviewed it. Maybe things are slow because it's Labor Day weekend in the States? - Shearonink (talk) 17:12, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

[edit]

Obviously this ain't the only vandalized page, but it seems especially targeted. I'll do my best to remove potential vandalism. Also why? vandalizing gets nothing done, but get you banned. smh Cheers! <3 Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 17:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Omg stop vandalising. (sorry I'm not able to help fast enough). Kids, if you read this, just stop. It ain't funny and it's just more work for other people, and it's misleading. Just stop, and have a nice day. Cheers! <3 Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 19:16, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft preservation

[edit]

As far as I can tell, there's like 25+ preserved aircraft which includes the Airbus A318, Airbus A319, Airbus A320, Airbus A321, or even the neos (unlikely). The aircraft on display section currently has one aircraft and adding the rest 25, 30, 35, 40 aircraft will make the list ridiculously long so it is worth creating a separate article about this?
