[edit] MLB/PML Disambiguation

This needs extensive rewriting to avoid confusion with the real Melbourne International Airport, Tullamarine. PML. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.240.211.250 (talk • contribs)

"Real"? I wasn't aware there was a real and a fake airport.... maybe there are simply two seperate ones... hm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.177.245.219 (talk • contribs)

There is a specific statement at the beginning of the article that this page is for the United States airport already, as well as providing a disambiguation link for "Melbourne Airport". No further clarification shall be required since the Australian airport has a different IATA code. - Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ contribs} 08:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Real estate

Of course, all airports have property which they can develop for money. Still, Melbourne is different since it has prime property on Babcock (I think) and perhaps other places as well. This should be why the city (or county) doesn't have to "kick in" money from time to time. The airport, never robust in attracting airlines, is nevertheless, self-supporting.

Although it is nice to know someone is attempting to improve the Melbourne articles (which I do thank you for), please back up your statements with proper citations. I've added the "citations needed" after your (summarized) "MLB is a self-sustained airport" comment in the intro paragraph. Please add the proper references soon or else we'll have to comment it out of the article until you can back that statement up. Sorry... - Jameson L.

[edit] Infobox images

I have commented out the 260px coding from the infobox because it was exploding the image to its original resolution regardless of what you put in as a px value. However, image-width for image 1 (MLB log) does work and I have shrunken it down to 100px because it was very pixelated when it was stretched to the full width of the infobox. - Jameson L.
