[edit] A good photo, but can we use it?

Pilot who flew cross-country at age 11 commits suicide has an appropriate photograph. Is it fair use though? I would prefer a free photo of her at age 10-12 in a pilot uniform, near a plane, or being honored for her flight-related achievements. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Television Appearance

Wasn't she also on Letterman or Leno, too? I seem to remember some television and late night interviews. Vampromero (talk) 02:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

"Citation please" - alas, without a citation we can't say it. I put "she appeared on television" with a citation, that should cover it. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, David, that's why this question was in the Discussion area. It becomes a discussion, and perhaps someone knows the exacts. I ask because iy sounds to me like you are saying I don't know this already. If I didn't post it in the article, I must already know tis. At least, I think I'm bing reasonable.Vampromero (talk) 03:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WPAviation B-Class checklist

See {{WPAVIATION}}: B-Class-1: "no" - missing reference on birth city. B-Class-5: need picture.

[edit] Additional local obituary articles with additional information

The local newspaper ran several stories after her death that include information not in the Wikipedia article. Not all of that information is encyclopedic, however. Use good judgement.

[edit] Uppercase "Van"

Unless someone objects, I'm going to move this to Vicki Van Meter tomorrow and uppercase the name as it appears in the article. This will be consistent with every reference I've seen. If "van" is correct, please speak up now. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 13:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC) done. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 18:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
