[edit] Surinam Airways Flight PY764
I have recently done a lot of expansion work on this previously rather poor article, and I believe it may now be at a level where it reaches the Featured Article criteria. Self-nom, Blood red sandman 06:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Object Needs expansion, no inline citations, lead needs to summarize article. Rlevse 09:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Point taken, will work a bit on lead. What is an inline citation? - Blood red sandman 16:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- And with regards to expansion, could you tell me what is missing from the article (with a source, if at all possible, though I'll try to find one if you can't), so I can add it to the article? Thanks! - Blood red sandman 16:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Object This article is nowhere near FA, sorry. The prose is far from brilliant - written by a non-native speaker I suspect; it needs a good copyediting, it needs inline citations. Expansion, if there is more relevant material, would be nice, as would a photo (although that's not compulsory). --kingboyk 17:21, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- As above - I would love to do something to sort out the lack of inline citations, as there are plenty of cited sources, but, again - what is an inline citation? As for the photo, is it possible to find a fair use rational for a photo of the accident aircraft from when it was in service? It would definatly be possible to find such an image. - Blood red sandman 17:27, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- An inline citation is like this.[1] A photo of the aircraft in service would be great, but that's not a condition to get FA. If you just want to improve the article it would be good though. A photo of the crash scene would be even better. --kingboyk 19:35, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'll go ahead and get an image of the aircraft shortly before the accident, then. I originally thought I had enough of those citations in (I didn't want so many that it just looked silly), but evidently not. I have nothing better to do tomorrow, so I shall spend some time searching for more references and for a crash site picture. - Blood red sandman 19:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- ^ Some author, some book or newspaper, page. (See the wiki code to see how this is done.)
- Refer to Peer-review. This article is obviously not ready for FAC. I strongly recommend a peer-review. Every article before coming here should have at least one peer-review (if not more).--Yannismarou 21:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Seconded. It's absolutely wonderful that Blood red sandman is so determined to write a high quality article, but PR would be a better choice of venue for him right now as the article is some distance from FA. --kingboyk 10:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Withdraw Nomination I'm going to go with tha advice of both of you given above, and take it to peer review. By the way, thanks are due to Kingboyk for his contributiond with regard to how it could be improved. - Blood red sandman 10:59, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and good luck. If you need any more advice drop me a line. --kingboyk 11:06, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
