GA Reassessment
[edit]Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of August 1, 2009, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.
- This article is very much an unfinished work; the story needs to be finished off to meet GA criterion 3a. The black boxes were recovered in 2007, and apparently sent to the States for analysis, for instance, but it's now 2009.
- There are at least 13 dead links, which is really too many to meet the GA citation requirement.[1]
- The article needs to decide whether it's using British or American English. For instance: "The Indonesian vessel Fatahillah travelled to the location, while Mary Sears traveled to Singapore."
- "They claim that there have been such incidents as requests to sign documents to allow an aircraft to fly, while not having the authority to, and while knowing the plane to be unairworthy, flying a plane for several months with a damaged door handle, swapping parts between aircraft to avoid mandatory replacement deadlines, being ordered to fly aircraft after exceeding the take-off limit of five times per pilot per day, flying an aircraft with a damaged window, using spare parts from other aircraft to keep planes in the air and ignorance of pilot's requests not to take off due to unsafe aircraft." That looks suspiciously like an attempt on the world record for the longest sentence.
- The Dramatization subsection is way too short to stand alone.
