Thanks John!
[edit] Re: Timelines
The handbook is here. It's not the simplest syntax to work with, especially when things like linking to articles come into play. The first graph uses a really complicated hack with multiple imagemaps and 2 images. I'm not really sure if that can be made simpler, though it would sure be nice. As you might have noticed, I have made an effort to simplify some of the tables and graphs a bit. As a result some of the formatting like the centering of the tables might currently be removed. I did this on purpose reasoning that it should be easier to rearrange these things after I finished the cleanup work. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 14:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm mostly done with that page for today. I might think about finding a way to make that first graph less complicated, but it might be hard to do so without breaking it. The page is a lot cleaner now, which will hopefully help it develop a bit further. There were quite a few broken tables and mismatching HTML tags in the page that should now be almost all fixed. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Airbus A380 (not) on Aerolíneas Argentinas
Hi, can you please add a citation as to why grupo Marsans isn't buying 4 A380's anymore? Everywhere i've seen (including an airbus press-release[1] ) states the opposite.

Look what I write, there is a MOU but not a firm order. It should be firmed to include as an order. It may happens, but until yet, only Grupo Marsans has these MOU with Airbus. Look what the text of the picture also was, thanks! Airbus states: "Grupo Marsans to order a total of 61 aircraft including four A380s and ten A350 XWBs " To order, not "has ordered". I'm sorry I used "actually", that was wrong, it should read "not yet". Also LOI and not MOU. (→Privatization and near-collapse: A380 Image and text removed, actually not ordered, there was an LOI of G.Marsans. It is not ordered as May 2008) Look also the discussion page of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Airbus_A380_orders_and_deliveries, cheers.Cirrocumulus (talk) 13:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, i understood what you meant. I was trying to figure out if the order from grupo marsans should be wiped completely from the list of A380 orders, and from the aerolineas argentinas article itself. Was there any timeline agreed between airbus and grupo marsans to firm the order? Cheers, Nelievsky (talk) 00:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, it is a MOU, normally it get signed at a point. In the list of A380 is not counting for the orders. I don't know, with the recent changes in Aerolineas Argentinas, what does it mean. My opinion, don't count as a order until signed. But signaling it as a MOU should be OK (Aerolineas Argentinas article has something like that also).
