Important?[edit]

On August 30, 2005, a JALways flight from Fukuoka to Honolulu made an unscheduled landing at Kansai International Airport after warning lights indicating a system malfunction went off twice, once prior to takeoff. The passengers were put up in a hotel for the night, and the following day were taken to their original destination. There were no injuries.

Is this really important to the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.8.215.146 (talkcontribs) 15:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC-7)

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:JALways/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Comments:

  1. Remove the link to the Japanese Wikipedia article in the lead, it is redundant to the link on the left.
    Didn't realise there are other language links on the side. Remove as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  2. The sentence "JAZ obtained license to operate scheduled services on July 30, 1999; changed its name to JALways and operated its first scheduled passenger service on October 1." sounds awkward.
    Reworded to: "JAZ obtained license to operate scheduled services on July 30, 1999 and operated its first scheduled passenger service on October 1. On the same day, the airline changed its name to JALways." Aviator006 (talk) 05:11, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  3. In sentence "JAZ obtained its aircraft from JAL; its cockpit crews were American contract pilots based in Hawaii; and its cabin crews were hired and based in Bangkok, where it operates a cabin crew training centre.", remove semicolon after "Hawaii".
    Removed as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Remove comma after "2001" in sentence "JALways became a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Airlines on March 9, 2001, through an exchange of shares."
    Removed as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  5. In the Destinations section, indicate Saipan is in the Northern Mariana Islands (Change the first instance so it reads "Northern Mariana Islands – Saipan
    Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  6. "FLY ON" should not be in all caps.
    Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 05:11, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  7. The sentence "Additional services and benefits for Sapphire members after two months of membership qualification include 100 percent bonus mileage, JAL or Sakura Lounge access with one guest when flying on JAL Group airline flights, priority check-in at First Class counters for international flights and JGC counters for Japan domestic flights, priority baggage, 20 kg (44 lb) or two pieces of extra baggage allowance and access to JAL Fast Security Lane. Additional services and benefits for Sapphire members from April of the following year include 20 upgrade points for complimentary flight upgrades." seems very long and may need to be split.
    Sentence splitted. Aviator006 (talk) 05:11, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  8. I'm confused, the article states both JGC Premier and Diamond are equal to Oneworld Emerald status.
    Yes, you're correct, both JGC Premier and Diamond are equal to Oneworld Emerald status. Reference: [1] Aviator006 (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Bullet not needed in Incidents and accidents section.
    Removed as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  10. The alt text for the images needs some work, it should not simply be a repetition of the caption. See WP:ALT.
    Alt text completely rewritten to comply with WP:ALT. Aviator006 (talk) 05:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  11. File:JAL Mileage Bank.png and File:JAL Global Club.png do not have a fair use rationale for this article.
    Fair use rationale added in images. Aviator006 (talk) 05:11, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am placing the article on hold. Dough4872 (talk) 16:39, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All comments reviewed and updated in the article. Thank you for your review. Aviator006 (talk) 05:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I will pass the article. Dough4872 (talk) 21:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Separate article for JALways destinations[edit]

I oppose the separation of JALways destinations into a separate article. As per Page Content:

Once an airline has more than 10 destinations, especially international ones, they could be listed in a stand alone articles.

The operative word is 'could' not 'must', and I believe the removal reduces the quality of the article as it is already not a big article. Aviator006 (talk) 02:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am for it. If you have read WP:AIRLINES you will see that 10+ destinations makes the airline eligible to its own destinations article. This has been standard practice now for as long as I can remember. It has also been discussed many of times and the decision was made, 10+ = seperate article. Zaps93 (talk) 13:18, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Except it is a recommended guideline, not a rule. If the article is still small/stub-size after being split off, destinations would be better off remaining on the small/stub articles. Sb617 (Talk) 13:54, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This article still has more information than any other airline article with a seperate destinations page. Please take this discussion to WP:AIRLINES. That will be where the issue get's resolved. Zaps93 (talk) 14:13, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
