Admin[edit]

Errrm will admin please advice where this current article fails! Maybe some parts arnt in 3rd person yet as I'm still writing.... DeafCom

This reads like an advertisement. It does not cite any of it's references, thus fails verifiability WP:V. Much is lifted verbatim from the companies website WP:RS as such can be considered copyvio. Furthermore a lot of it reads like original research WP:NOR. Also it does not present a NPOV WP:NPOV. I suggest you have a look at WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and WP:V as well as the Manual Of Style in order to gain a greater understanding of those three policies which are considered to be at the core of Wikipedia, and the guidelines of how to apply them. I tagged the article in order for them to come to the attention easier of other editors who may be able to assist in improving the quality of the entry. Please do not remove them as they are not indicative of failure, they are a call for assistance in improvement. I personally have been working on getting together third party verifiable sources in anticipation of assisting in improvement of the entry but I have not had the time to work on it this past week or so. skyskraper 08:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Skyskraper, thank you for your advice. I will have to remind myself to NOT write commercially (ex copywriter)! I am also very proud of these guys and what they have achieved. Most was lifted from the official site with personal approval from GA and this was done to expand the original entry. Images now cite basic copyrights of which I have the relevant approvals from the originators. I am in the 'throws' of rewriting the entire entry to end up in a third party style. Some of the current 'original research' is by personal knowledge of GA and its aircraft. Overall - work in progress DeafCom 21:44. 21 April 2007 (UTC)

The information here does not correlate with the history of the company. As detailed by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority design approval, Colin Nicholson was Chief Designer of the company, and Stephen Turnour was the principal structures engineer. Mark Bathie, Jonathan Shand and Bob Scott were also later added to that CASA list. George Morgan did not participate in any of the design activities 01:07, 25 August 2014 (UTC) aeromarinerAeromariner (talk) 01:07, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

General Information[edit]

All information is on a regular basis, screened by a member of Gippsland Aeronautics for authenticity. DeafCom has no commercial, nor family association with GA. Some historical comments and observations are made via a personal 20 year association with Australian Aviation in general plus personal knowledge from key members of GA.

All images and notes have been approved by either the owner direct or via GA and corrections are advised to DeafCom when needed.

The GA, GA8 and GA200 entries have not been a product of Gippsland Aeronautics nor an employee of GA. The have been totally private and made on behalf of GA by an Australian Aviation enthusiast.

Additional entries by persons other than DeafCom are most welcome and encouraged.

GA18[edit]

The GA18 appears to have had all refs removed on the Mahindra site. Is it cancelled?220.244.73.170 (talk) 07:31, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I see no news or press releases related to a discontinuance, but anything is possible. I'll keep my eyes open for this. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:09, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Hunster: No press release. It was quietly dropped when the aircraft range was redesignated AIRVAN 8 and AIRVAN 10 U7r50jw86 (talk) 01:23, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
