Copyvio?

[edit]

So this page has been tagged as a copy-vio, but nowhere does it say the alleged source of the copyvio. Could someone please fix the initial tag so I can do some research and/or rewrite the page if there's a problem? --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 17:24, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source is allegedly http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19660124-0, but as far as I can tell the only paragraph affected is "sequence of events". A second section, "Investigation" also has similar text, but both pages are quoting from the same accident report. It strikes me as overkill to swap out an entire page for a copyvio template when all that's called for is a simple rewrite of one paragraph. Hairhorn (talk) 06:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Investigation verifies that the material was published there prior to its use here (see 2006 archives, here) Since both documents cite the same source and this material was pasted into the article at inception, it's very possible that all the text in this version is copied. It you're willing to work on new text, Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû, that would be fabulous. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:19, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have re-written the article from scratch to remove any lingering copyvios. MilborneOne (talk) 18:28, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

4807 M

[edit]

Mont Blanc altitude is of 481O M, and not 4807 . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.231.53.139 (talk) 18:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody was hurt and youtube is probably not a RS, but interesting IMO. I will look for other sources... any help appreciated. Andrewa (talk) 15:12, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The conspiracy theory

[edit]

I'm going to remove the consipracy theory, per WP:FRINGE. The only real source we have is the conspiracy theorist's book. The final sentence of the paragraph is not supported by the sources. The only coverage in RS is the Times of India story, which calls it "an alleged conversation" and says it was reported "by a relatively unknown news media TBRNews.org" which is not RS.

Change Title to "Air India Flight 101 (1966)" due to Possible Confusion with Other Flight

[edit]

Another flight, Air India 101 from Delhi to JFK (New York), had an incident in 2018, rendering the title of this article outdated. Therefore, users may get confused upon opening this article. Pierre151 (talk) 15:45, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article title is fine, because this is the primary topic, and in fact I don't think the other flight even has an article. A hatnote could be added if that seems necessary. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation. GA-RT-22 (talk) 17:08, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
