[edit] GA review

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    "promising to solve the transportation problem of Jews during the Arab revolt of 1936-39." -- I'm presuming that the transportation problems involved a ground war of some sort, but that needs to be explicit. "This was fine for a time, however soon land in Tel Aviv became scarce," -- the 'This was fine for a time, however soon' part of the sentence is extraneous. Ben Gurion airport is linked at least 3 times in the article. "1993-6" is awkward; do "1993–1996" instead. Replace dashes with en-dashes per MOS for east–west, north–south.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    "In the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the airport served as a base to the Israeli Air Force. It was a central base, home to 21 aircraft at the time. The first military flight was made in December, 1947, when Pinchas Ben Porat flew an RWD-13 to Beit Eshel to rescue an injured soldier." -- not cited. I would also like more information about the "Hebrew University" reference (author and year, among them). Single-sourced paragraphs only need to cite the source once, not per sentence (unless the content is controversial). Airports Worldwide may not be a reliable source for FA purposes.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Looks good. Let me know when you have made the changes. Thanks! —Rob (talk) 20:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I've made all the changes apart from I couldnt find more info for the Hebrew University source or an alternative yet to Airports Worldwide. Thanks. Flymeoutofhere (talk) 09:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, one might not exist. Alternatively, it may be possible to establish Airports Worldwide as a reliable source, but that is beyond the scope of GA - I just happen to bring it up as I read articles. —Rob (talk) 14:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
