[edit] POV

We' need to watch for POV here... As it stands for GLA we have "most long haul international routes", for EDI "more short haul business destinations"... And references for neither. Thanks/wangi 23:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Another "POV" issue - it's stated that bus travel in Scotland has been declining since 1986 - as if this was entirely due to deregulation (which admittedly hasn't helped). In fact bus travel (measured by passenger miles) has been declining (as in the rest of the UK) since around 1960.

• The linked pages for each airport show a full list of destinations and airlines, which themselves are linked to the main airport page. I think this is OK for sources? Astrotrain 13:10, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Air

A cursory glance at the airport codes shows them to be wrong, if I have the time I will change them. Fraslet 09:00, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

   a Pass/Fail:

Hi, I am putting the Good Article review on hold for seven days. If you can get the references in place then I think this article can be raised to GA status. Otherwise the lack of references really does keep it off a GA status. Regan123 (talk) 01:50, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

As no further work has been done on the article I have had to fail it on the GA criteria. Regan123 (talk) 18:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually I did do some work. I added a lot of references. Never mind. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN}^{play it cool.} 20:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

There are 8 references on this article. There should be more like 40 or 50 for this length. Regan123 (talk) 23:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
