Images

Not sure which image is the best to use for the infobox. Below are some images from the airport article.

Domodedovo passenger terminal

Or alternatively we could just use the map image.

HOW THE HELL? How did the guy that wrote this stub KNOW that this bombing is part of the Chechenian War???? I mean, it is suspected so, but it is not known for certain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.234.173.198 (talk) 15:41, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The real question is, what else could it be. This isn't our speculation, it's everyone's. Wikipedia isn't about things that are known for certain, it is about reporting the opinions offered in quotable sources. --

I think it's down to how the explosion occurred in the baggage reclaim, so implicating an employee. Otherwise security of inbound flights will be questioned. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:53, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps not if it happened in arrivals... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong name makes Wikipedia look like idiots

It is an American habit to call airports, "international airport". I have even seen Americans call it Heathrow International Airport.

Now it is on the main page for the world to laugh at Wikipedia. Let us change the title and take out the word "international". See http://www.domodedovo.ru/en/ Nesteoil (talk) 16:58, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure the "world [will] laugh" at Wikipedia for using the name by which the airport is commonly referred. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
indeed. Anyone who discovers an error in Wikipedia, or even a presumed error, and concludes that "Wikipedia look like idiots" in my book looks like an idiot. Omg, I found an error in Wikipedia's 3.5 million articles, you guys must be idiots! --
dab (𒁳) 19:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply

If it is a common mistake, fewer people will laugh. The name is on the main page which makes errors potentially laughable as opposed to buried in an article. For example, if the logo said "Wikipedia, the fry encyclopedia" instead of "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia", that would be an embarassing mistake. However, if it is in the Wikipedia article buried, it's just a typo. To user:dab, better to leave a message on my talk page to call me an idiot. Nesteoil (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to point out that several Airports in the UK have "International" in their name, for example:

  • Belfast International Airport
  • Glasgow International Airport
  • Kent International Airport
  • Leeds Bradford International Airport
  • Norwich International Airport
  • Also
    London Luton Airport
    was also formerly "Luton International Airport".

It is up to the airport to decide what official name it should have. On Wikipedia Domodedovo International Airport is called DIA not DA, if you want to change it to "Domodedovo Airport" then take the discussion to

Talk:Domodedovo International Airport. This article should copy whatever the Airport is called on Wikipedia. We should have consistency throughout this encyclopaedia. IJA (talk) 21:12, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply
]

While the original poster seems pretty disagreeable, I think he's right; checking the official website of the airport, it seems it should be called "Domodedovo Airport" or "Domodedovo Airport Moscow," or something like that. D Haggerty (talk) 00:48, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am very agreeable, not disagreeable. I did not know of the international usage. I thought it was an error. However, it seems that the airport, itself, is imprecise and changing with its own naming. Nesteoil (talk) 16:15, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
However it's official name is "Domodedovo International Airport", see here IJA (talk) 01:58, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Navigation template

Why is the navigation template in that horrible side-bar, rather than the standard footer format? Lugnuts (talk) 18:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are a number of side-placed navboxes. They are horrible. I don't think we have a Wikipedia-wide approach. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:38, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is the {{
Campaign}} navbox, which is used on battles and terrorist attacks. I agree that it is terrible. (And that most other side navboxes are also terrible.) Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:40, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply
]
Terrible, agreed, change. It also gives the perception that we're trying to place the event in a context before anything certain is known. Lampman (talk) 20:02, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Removed. --John (talk) 03:30, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Culprit?

Do we not yet have the information to say who the suspects for the attack are? 146.87.52.50 (talk) 18:35, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It says in the article, suspected suicide bomber, whose head the authorities have recovered. Russian press are saying "Arabic", but of course, take that with a pinch of salt until we get further reliable sources to back up the statements. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:37, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We can still edit the article to say the so-and-so news agency suspects that "Arabic" people are behind the attack (if that is indeed that they say). Equally if there are other sources which state that it is too early to say then these might also be included for completness sake.Greenshed (talk) 20:44, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Victims

There was only one UK victim, initially announced two but it was revised see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12278369 can someone update accordingly as article is semi-protected 86.63.26.124 (talk) 19:14, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The second injured Slovak was slovak actor Ľuboš Kostelný - colleague of Zuzana Fialová. He felt a pain in his leg, X-ray found out he was shot by shrapnel. --78.99.208.20 (talk) 18:49, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead too short

I've restored the {{

WP:LEAD. An editor moved a large chunk of the old lead into subsections, but has gone a step too far. We need to summarise the whole article in the lead. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:34, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply

I've tried to do that, and have removed the "lead too short" tag.

Sentence fragment

"The Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, consisting of former Chechen militants and politicians living in exile[citation needed], released a statement sending condolences to the victims and condemned the bombing, suggesting.[64][65]" - Suggesting...what? Either the comma and the word "suggesting" should be removed, or something should be added after "suggesting". The word was added with this dif, so I'm assuming it was just an accidental addition. I'd remove the word myself, but the page is locked. 72.37.244.28 (talk) 15:28, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Foreign citizen"

Isnt this an oxymoron ? 192.54.144.229 (talk) 07:33, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I assume the page is refering to citizens of foreign [foreign to Russia] countries. --
