Result: Delist. Fails WP:LEAD, WP:LAYOUT, WP:EMBED. Additionally the prose is poor in many places. The article does appear to have some good sources, but they are not cited in places where citations are required. Geometry guy 10:14, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this article meets the requirements for GA. Edit wars and layout are the main issues.

Well-written - Several issues dealing with WP:LEAD, WP:LINK, WP:EL, WP:LAYOUT, WP:TRIVIA. The "Legacy" and "External links" sections need a lot of work.
Factually accurate and verifiable - Every section is in need of additional sources. The flyingmachines.org site is not a RS. The "Controversy" and "Wristwatch" sections definitely need more sources.
Broad in its coverage - It's fairly broad.
Neutral- See below.
Stable - Take a look at the edit history and talk page. The "Controversy vis-à-vis Wright brothers" edit wars have been occurring for quite some time. Certain editors on both "sides" seem to be very passionate about this topic, yet few have provided reliable sources.
Images - They're fine, but some images need to be moved.

Delist, clearly needs more thorough referencing, does not comply sufficiently with WP:MOS, e.g. trivia section and external links. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:09, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
