Ref removal?[edit]

Multiple refs were in fact used to construct this article, and yet in the last 24 hours the number of refs cited has been reduced by five. I can't see how that could be considered a good thing. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How is it a bad thing? The issue was redundancy - nothing has been left without a cite that was cited before. Infact, I was able to expand the article while reducing the number of redundant cites. Put them back in if you want, but there's no reason to do so that I can see. MickMacNee (talk) 20:43, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I'm just paranoid about deletion. The sources weren't puffery, they really were used and some of them had non-free images that we can't use here but as long as the articles not headed down AFD way it's probably not a big deal. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:55, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Examiner.com article[edit]

I had explicitly requested to white-list the article in question, which is of decent quality, despite the dubious reputation of the container-website. Given that the section is more about opinions and comments, rather than plain facts, in my view an additional source is appropriate. --Giuliopp (talk) 01:16, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't see the whitelisting. Do you have a link to it? Niteshift36 (talk) 01:44, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Missed it. I see it was done grudgingly. Might I suggest you put a hidden note with the ref so something like this doesn't happen again.Niteshift36 (talk) 05:06, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Believed" to be the first such crash?[edit]

It seems like we should know by now whether this really was the first fatal crash with one of these planes. Or is it phrased that way because the military may have some reason to not tell the public about previous crashes? Beeblebrox (talk) 17:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The caution may be because the C-17 is flown by many air forces worldwide. Are they all reliable reporters? --NellieBly (talk) 13:58, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ted Stevens's crash[edit]

This accident is mentioned in the NTSB report on the 2010 Alaska Turbo Otter crash that killed US Senator Ted Stevens. One of the crew members lost here was the son-in-law of the pilot of that accident aircraft, and the NTSB identified that loss as a possible stress factor leading to the Stevens crash. Worth mentioning? --NellieBly (talk) 13:58, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
