Name of Atlanta Airport in Summary

For the stopover airport (Idlewild/JFK), the name of the airport at the time is used, but for the final destnation (Atlanta), the current name is used. Shouldn't this be changed so that they both reflect one name (either the current name or the name at the time of the incident)? --Vreddy92 (talk) 03:28, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed that bit. Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 00:30, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

B-class review

Fails #1: needs more referencing. Fails #2:needs section on investigation, results, causes, etc. Fails #3 :needs formatting to follow standard accidents format. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 03:26, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It shows all of that in the Wikiproject boxes at the top of the page, so do you really need to repeat all that? Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 00:27, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Air France Flight 007?

Shouldn't this crash be referred to by ts flight number, and called Air France Flight 007? Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 00:25, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:22, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


1962 Air France Orly crash → Air France Flight 007
— I think this page should be moved to Air France Flight 007. This is because the flight number is known (007) and per WP:AIRCRASH, it should be named in the format <<airline>> Flight <<flight number>>, making the name "Air France Flight 007."

There's a hatnote about it . . . where? --Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 16:57, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Where hatnotes appear, at the top of the article. I see that you are a new user? see

I don't see a hatnote about it. --Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 20:58, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnote

What do you mean you don't see a hatnote? It's right at the top of the article page, beneath the article/discussion tabs. You even added it yourself, Whoop... , see this edit comparision: [1]

76.66.200.95 (talk) 06:34, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The hatnote refers to flight 007, not flight 7. --Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 22:52, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Flight 00x are sometimes referred to as Flight x, same with Flight 0x and Flight 000x. Like
Speedbird 9, which is actually BA 009, but called "British Airways Flight 9". 76.66.200.95 (talk) 12:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

Okay, then. Should we or shouldn't we create the article? --Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 23:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to, go ahead. Registered users can create pages. A flight 7 page would also handle 7, 07, 0007, and this 007. 76.66.199.238 (talk) 06:29, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh-kazay. Wanna help add to it? --Whoop whoop pull up (talk) 23:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name of Atlanta Airport

I know I brought this up 2 years ago...but now again New York's airport is referred to as Idlewild and Atlanta's is referred to as Hartsfield-Jackson (not its name at the time). Maybe the names should be fixed so that it says Atlanta Municipal Airport (now Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.36.15.133 (talk) 11:39, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you actually comparing a crash in which 100 people were killed, and a ground collision in which nobody has been even hurt? (there were about 27,000 reported ground collisions in 2010). Slasher-fun (talk) 08:19, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"And why are you replying like I don't know anything about air safety??" --> Not what I meant.
"My legitimate edit being treated like vandalism?" --> Well the revert button is for reverting, it doesn't imply that it's a vandalism.
"But again, I feel like there were some overreaction involved." --> That's my point. This is only "in the news" because someone caught a video of it.

"Not what I meant." --> Good.
"Well the revert button is for reverting, it doesn't imply that it's a vandalism." --> Yes, although rollback button is mainly used for reverting vandalism and the undo button is for reverting other edits.
"That's my point. This is only "in the news" because someone caught a video of it." --> Well at least we can agree on this, overreaction has been getting out of control lately. One time there was a storm in my neighborhood where it knocked down trees but there were ****load of police cars driving down my street at 4 AM, all blaring their sirens loudly and it didn't stop for at least 30 minutes. It woke my parents up but at least it didn't wake me up. Another example of such overreaction is the incident of
