Montréal-Mirabel International Airport[edit]

Myself and some others have worked hard on this article to bring it up to standard. It's been researched, illustrated, referenced and rewritten and reorganized. I think it's one of the best airport articles on Wikipedia. Self-nom. AlbertR 21:31, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak object. Solid content, yet there are grammatical and spelling errors all over the place (I did some copyediting but a second set of eyes is necessary). Also, what was the reason for Premier Bourassa's objection to placing the airport near the Ontario border? Finally, I am taking it that the dollar amount is in Canadian dollars rather than U.S. dollars. Please make this more explicit. Pentawing 02:40, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I changed the dollar amounts to specify Canadian currency. I think we need another editor to look at the copyedit issues (I tried peer review, but no-one commented on it except Maclean25). As for Mr. Bourassa, I have never seen any expaination as to why he objected to the airport's location (though I am inclined to suspect that suspect that the French/English enmity at the time played a part).

      • Okay, all that is needed is for someone to look over the article and say that it is alright before I change my vote. Pentawing 05:31, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • I've gone over the writing with a pretty close eye and fixed a number of odd phrasings and what-have-you (no offense intended to original author, of course). It should be fine now. Meelar (talk) 15:49, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
          • Looked over it once more. Seems alright, and hopefully there are no further problems. Support. Pentawing 02:02, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Sounds good, looks great. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 04:47, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Great example for other airport articles to follow. --maclean25 02:41, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I think it would do just fine.. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 21:44, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, looks good. JYolkowski // talk 22:23, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support fairly good example of a featured airport article, but I don't think that it is one of the "best" FA's. — Stevey7788 (talk) 00:58, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • What can be done to make it better, then? Alr 01:10, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Great job! PRueda29 16:03 22 August 2005 (UTC)
