- I would not abbreviate nautical mile as understanding that abbreviation isn't common knowledge (unlike km and mi).
- The lead mentions that WestJet services are wanted, but does not mention who actually does serve the airport.
- It would be nice with a little more history in the lead, and perhaps remove the 24-hour issue in the lead, as it isn't really that important.
- "two locations. The proposed locations" is rather heavy. I don't mind two sentences, but the binding should not repeat so much.
- "expropriated in 1949" should perhaps be 1939? (I notice the source says 1949, but that doesn't quite make sense)
- Not done. The sources states that, and there is no reference for "1939", and that is also incorrect information then. TBrandley 20:17, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- I would be nice if the length of the 1959 runway extension was included.
- The history source mentions services by Time Air and AirBC. Perhaps these could be mentioned (AirBC is the precursor to Jazz Air, as I recall).
- Two minor issues come to mind: it strikes me that Penticton and Kelowna, at least partially, share a catchment area. Is there any numbers regarding "leakages" of passengers to Kelowna and the impact on Kelowna Airport for increased services at Penticton. Secondly, what is the population of Penticton's catchment area?
- Neither of the images in the body are appropriate. Only images of the airport and aircraft at the airport should be included, not "stock images" of aircraft which may have a connection. It is especially important as Centralwings never have operated to Penticton, and that it does not state which Cessna aircraft took place in the accident.
- Consensus at WP Aviation, as explained at WP:AIRCRASH, is that most aviation incidents, especially those of general aviation, are not notable for inclusion in airport articles. Exceptions are write-offs, fatalities and hijackings. The Aviation Safety Network includes two incidents which are notable and both should be included (the subpages at ASN are regarded as reliable and can be used as sources).
Overall an excellent article. Arsenikk (talk) 18:31, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for the review. I have addressed all of your concerns above. TBrandley 21:57, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- A few low-value links occur twice in the article; in such a short article I cannot see any value for instance for "Canada" to suddenly be linked in the middle of the article. Repeats of links after the lead should only be done "if helpful for reader", which is hardly the case here. The idea is to remove as many unnecessary links to ease the reader to identify high-value links. Arsenikk (talk) 23:39, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
I have done a slight copyedit; the only real issue was that the coordinates shouldn't be in the prose and instead just stuck in the infobox/title line. Otherwise if you feel the need to revert any part of the copyedit—don't hesitate. Passing the article. Congratulations! Arsenikk (talk) 10:19, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
