Cuba To-do: edit  WikiProject Cuba - To do list

Got rid of "under Marxist rule" as neither Castro nor the regime were Marxist immediately after the Revolution. Also rephrased "had to stop" to "stopped". Was a bit POV. Dafyddyoung 10:03, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 28 March 2005 Incident

Does anybody have a source about the incident that allegedly happened on 28 March 2005, where "a Cubana A320 flying between Cuba and Canada lost its tail, but the plane was able to make a safe emergency landing in an American airport"?

On 05 March 2005, Air Transat flight 961 between Varadero, Cuba and Quebec City, Canada had the majority of the rudder surface detach during flight. The aircraft returned to Varadero and landed without incident. The incident aircraft was an Airbus A310. I couldn't find any news reports about this Cubana A320, and this Air Transat incident happened within a relatively close timeframe, involving a flight between Cuba and Canada.

There is some information, including pictures... here and here. --Ncdoyle 15:32, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cubana de Aviación Ownership

Does aybody know who the owners of Cubana de Aviación are?

The Cuban government are the owners of Cubana de Aviacion.

[edit] Accidents of 40 years ago needed?

instead of writting more about the airline history why copy and paste minor accidents that occur 40 years ago. is none sense. Bill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.8.137.254 (talk • contribs) 22:02, 25 August 2006

While Wikipedia does not aim to be a collection of indiscriminate information, accidents with fatalities or substantial damage to an aircraft are usually considered notable. This is a broad subject in Wikipedia, see for instance Category:Aviation accidents and incidents and subcategories. I would suggest making a special entry with a List of Cubana de Aviación accidents and incidents if the present entry is too long. --Oden 20:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

It is notable that this is the content that was removed from this article:

On 6 October 1976, terrorist sabotage brought down Cubana Flight 455, a Douglas DC-8 departing from Barbados to Cuba. Two bombs were put on by a terrorist organization of a CIA-linked Cuban exile, Luis Posada Carriles, killing all 73 people on board. Among the dead were all the 24 young members of the Fencing team that had just obtained all the gold medals in the Central American and Caribbean Championship.

As everyone reading this is acutely aware, the destruction of this airliner is an unresolved crime http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/09/national/09exile.html and Venezuela has issued repeated requests for the defendant, Luis Posada Carriles, to be sent to Venezuela for trial. That the US has refused to honor that request is fact. That all references to the destruction of this airliner has been removed from this article does not erase history. It only makes this article not credible.Skywriter (talk) 14:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cubana 75 anniversary logo.jpg

Image:Cubana 75 anniversary logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
