[edit] Gol Transportes Aéreos

I have changed the sources on Gol Transportes Aéreos to references. I commend you for some great edits to that page. Regards, DRK 06:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Legacy Tail Number

Hi Antiuser, Thank you for your efforts on the Gol accident article and your message to me. If you carefully read the WP:RS policy, you will note that synthesis is not allowed. For example, if I find one source that says A is B, another that says B is C, I am not allowed to say "A is C" as that would constitute synthesis, hence WP:OR. Of course as soon as some acceptable source says "A is C" then we can say that too. In this case, up to now (and of course this is dynamic and may change by the second or by the time I finish typing this), all we have is:

  1. A source saying 'Excel Air' is the owner/operator of the Legacy
  2. A source saying that Legacy s/n X is the collision aircraft
  3. A source saying that s/n X is FAA tail number Y

We still don't know for sure which company it is - I found 2 independent unrelated ones in US by that or similar name, one in KY, one in NY. Both seemed possible to me.

The FAA online DB for tail number Y above comes up empty. It is very possible that there is a lag in registering a new aircraft - so that would not rule out the possibility. In fact, I agree that it is very likely that the number Y is at least reserved (by Embraer?) for X. It is also possible, that they submitted a request for it to the FAA (as it appears to be a 'vanity plate' - the aircraft type followed by the company's initials) and the FAA has not yet approved it, in which case they would temporarily fly under a different N number on the ferry flight. But at WP we can't speculate like that - this is Talk page discussion. In article space we need to rely on WP:RS for anything we say, and at this point we do not have a single source that says that "the Legacy involved in the collision had tail number Y". Sorry to be a stickler for policy, but I think it will improve people's perception of WP when we are not just fast but also accurate and reliable. Thanks for understanding, Crum375 14:10, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1907

Thanks for the compliment. But you are doing a great job too, of course. It was nice having the article linked on the WP front page, virtually like a feature article, except it probably got more hits than a typical FA. It would be nice it we can keep up the quality as more information trickles in. Thanks again, Crum375 22:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Antiuser, your link for airliners.net needs the original page - I run into this problem with them all the time. It looks OK for you since it's in your cache, but everyone else gets a logo only. What is the original page URL? Crum375 00:20, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Got the chart now - is it BAF copyright? Can we upload it to WP? I think it definitely belongs in the article. Crum375 00:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
My copy of the flight plan fax is so tiny that even when enlarged it is nearly unreadable. If you find a good copy, or can write down the actual flight plan routing and altitudes (which I can only barely and incompletely decipher) that would be great. In the meanwhile I am working on adding a section about it, unless someone beats me to it. Thanks, Crum375 01:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, your copy is slightly better than mine, so it's now 80% clear but I need 99% or so to actually copy the flight plan text into the article. But it's good enough to back the current version, until we get a clearer copy. If you can get a reference for the Embraer crew asserting they were cleared to FL370 all the way to Manaus that would be nice. I actually have it in Globo, but I only see it in the translation mode, when I try to access it directly in Portuguese it gives me a subscription login screen. If I paste the translation URL into WP, it somehow defaults to Globo front page. And BTW, feel of course free to fix up my initial version. Anyway, thanks for the heads up for the fax - I looked at Globo just minutes before and it was still not there. Crum375 02:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
The one I am having problem with is this one where you click on the "confirmaram" link and get the subscription login. If I do the same under Google Translator, I get to the article no problem (where the pilots say they were cleared at FL370 to Manaus), but then as I said above, that URL doesn't work from WP. I guess I need to keep trying. Crum375 03:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Antiuser, could you tell me how you got the enroute chart image? I see it was from airliners.net, but I don't see where they have charts of any kind. I am eager to get more info if possible, e.g. legend, other areas, etc. I also can't find any chart legend that I have (e.g. Jepps) that describes the black/blue one way/two way airway color coding. Thanks, Crum375 21:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

That's what I figured. How do you know about the 1way/2way color coding? Do you have a legend somewhere? I don't see it anywhere on the Jepps legends, which in theory are international. Crum375 23:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I finally found a good copy of your airway chart, and it's US gov made (not Jepps) hence usable here. In the full PDF version (which I included in the Teres footnote), the legend panel is visible, and says that blue airways are 'GPS/RNAV' based, not 'two way' (vs. black for VHF/VOR based). AFAIK, all airways are two way by default. I am trying to add the collision point and/or crash location on the sections I added to the article. Crum375 19:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccurate fair use rationale for Image:UgandaHouse.jpg

As soon as I did this, I realized my error. Could you please advise me what I should use for a postcard? Thanks! Scotwood72 07:15, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Minotaur and Labyrinth...

... were excellent. I think we need a bot or something to revert those "chicken" edits.

Hi, for some reason certain anon users keep editing Minotaur and Labyrinth to state that the Minotaur was half chicken, instead of half man. This has been going on for a long time from what I see (I myself have reverted it over 5 times). Can this article be protected so only registered users can edit? Thanks. ||| antiuser (talk) (contribs) 09:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Since it's the same two IPs each time, it's simpler just to temporarily block them, which I've done. Let me know if other users start causing the same problem – Gurch 09:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. It looks like someone else has already re-blocked them; this time the block duration is a bit longer, hopefully that will persuade them to give up – Gurch 02:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Anon users editing semi-protected pages

While both Minotaur and Labyrinth are tagged with {{sprotect}}, neither of those pages is actually protected. I'll look at the history in a second to see if I can figure out why that's the case. Possibly somebody added the tag, not knowing how protection works, or possibly an admin added the tag and just forgot to protect it. Or something else, there's all sorts of ways these things get messed up. Luna Santin 04:00, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

If you check his user rights log, he's not. But that's alright; it's a fairly common misconception, and his heart was in the right place. I've decided not to protect the pages, for now, since the majority of the vandalism appeared to be coming from a single user (who I've blocked). If things continue as they have been, feel free to let me know. Luna Santin 04:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Ack. Will protect for a few days or so. Luna Santin 07:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I wish I could explain it. Between here and the Disney wiki lurks a guy who loves talking about the non-existent "Halloweentown 5." We persist. - Lucky 6.9 02:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem. It happens once in a while, particularly when anons add misformatted text under wrong sections. Good night. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 09:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:RadioTaxi.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:RadioTaxi.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 19:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
