Singapore Airlines Flight 006 was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: February 19, 2008

Due to a "broken link" on another page, I created this stub. Then, on another list, I discovered Singapore Airlines Flight 6. I fixed the link, now this article needs to be deleted. 216.164.138.57 13:33, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi, this is for the unknown editor who made changes on 1 Feb 06. IMHO, the insertions you made under 'Aftermath' should either be put in 'Findings' or 'Controversy', since they relate directly to the accident investigation and the controversy that ensued.

I am also concerned about the last 2 paragraphs you have inserted in 'Aftermath'. The paragraph quote "The SQ6 Captain , thought that the green centerline... runway edge lights for guidance in low visibility conditions." unquote is from Pg 135 of the ASC's final report and the paragraph quote "About 2245 on October 23, 2000, a MD-11 freighter had been given clearance to taxi... MD-11 Captain was conducted on Feb 16, 2001, and a second interview was conducted on July 19, 2001, at ASC headquarters." is from Pg 149 of the same report. Both paragraphs are almost verbatim copies, with small changes for readability.

I am no copyright guru but I think there is a cause for concern with regards to the last 2 paragraphs. I would suggest either to rewrite the paragraphs with minimal quotes or remove them altogether, as the ASC report is not public domain.Neofaun 14:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CVR transcript

I removed the CVR transcript from this entry and added an external link to a CVR/ATC transcript at the end of the article. Although I respect the efforts of whoever attempted to present a "cut" version of the transcript in this article, it's not particularly illuminating for those using the article as a general reference source, and those who are interested can easily visit the external CVR/ATC source (as is done in most other aircraft incident articles). Let me know if there are significant issues with this. plmoknijb 14:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Coffins of decesed.jpg

Image:Coffins of decesed.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] This article is not ready for GAN

Although I would love to see this article attain GA status, in its current state, it is sorely not ready. There are several major issues with the article, which include, but are not limited to:

• The article is poorly organised. There are far too many one-sentence paragraphs; in fact, there is a section - "Film" - with only one sentence. Details about the casualties are excessive. Consider merging sections like "Investigation findings" and "Contesting investigation findings".
• Most of the citations are not properly formatted. Citations should go after a punctuation mark, with no spaces in between, and should not merely be links without citation information.
• BetacommandBot has tagged two of the images in this article as having no fair use rationale.

I suggest that the GA nomination be withdrawn or failed. Once the issues have been addressed, file a peer review and then renominate the article.

--J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 09:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the above, and have failed this GAN. A few more things; way too many external links, which could be used as references. Also, the ref placement is a problem, as are the standalone paragraphs/sentences. Also, I think there is an overuse of images which may not really be "educational"...best to remove the fair use images, regardless, and just go with free.

Anyways, feel free to contact me or J.L.W.S. when you've fixed some of these issues, if you want more comments. I haven't watchlisted this page, but you can contact my talk page if you want me to take a look at anything or reply to anything. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂0) 09:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
