[edit] Opinions

Some of the recent changes seem to include various opinions realting to the arrangement of the terminal areas. I propose to remove these opinions in the next few days unless some evidence can be provided.

I will also re-arrange the topics into more appropriate subtopics. Murray Langton 10:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with the new information which gives a comprehensive overview of the international terminal.

Yes there is - the "information" is really selective points of view (POV), which are not meant to be on Wikipedia. See: Wikipedia:Neutral point of view --Lholden 04:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Err take a look. Most of the stuff just talks about the layout of the terminal. The only subjective POVs are all backed up by verifiable sources, e.g. newspaper articles anyway.

Good, verify them then. The only time the new sections get close is by mentioning some online forum - which is fine so long as it is backed up. I still hold that the language used in the "information" is the POV of the author. --Lholden 04:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

So according to you sources such as airport press releases and newspapers are not "verifiable sources"; that is so funny.

I didn't say that at all. What I said was, if you have sources, verify them - use the "<.ref>" tag. You cannot simply write up Points Of View and then claim they're from a newspaper or press releases - youve actually got to verify the sources by putting in references. In any case, you're meant to write from a neutral perspective (i.e. as in NPOV) - for example, you'd say things like "some users of the airport have been critical of the terminal's layout"; and then reference the statement. --Lholden 04:42, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. Sorry, didn't realise you meant referencing as in hyperlinking.
