[edit] Admin

• Errrm will admin please advice where this current article fails! Maybe some parts arnt in 3rd person yet as I'm still writing.... DeafCom

This reads like an advertisement. It does not cite any of it's references, thus fails verifiability WP:V. Much is lifted verbatim from the companies website WP:RS as such can be considered copyvio. Furthermore a lot of it reads like original research WP:NOR. Also it does not present a NPOV WP:NPOV. I suggest you have a look at WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and WP:V as well as the Manual Of Style in order to gain a greater understanding of those three policies which are considered to be at the core of Wikipedia, and the guidelines of how to apply them. I tagged the article in order for them to come to the attention easier of other editors who may be able to assist in improving the quality of the entry. Please do not remove them as they are not indicative of failure, they are a call for assistance in improvement. I personally have been working on getting together third party verifiable sources in anticipation of assisting in improvement of the entry but I have not had the time to work on it this past week or so. skyskraper 08:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

• Skyskraper, thank you for your advice. I will have to remind myself to NOT write commercially (ex copywriter)! I am also very proud of these guys and what they have achieved. Most was lifted from the official site with personal approval from GA and this was done to expand the original entry. Images now cite basic copyrights of which I have the relevant approvals from the originators. I am in the 'throws' of rewriting the entire entry to end up in a third party style. Some of the current 'original research' is by personal knowledge of GA and its aircraft. Overall - work in progress DeafCom 21:44. 21 April 2007 (UTC)
