Flyover hoax

Will you please stop removing the flyover hoax, it is a valid part of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.231.84 (talk) 17:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I have told 86.3.231.84 on their talk page, I feel that the hoax paragraph should be drastically shortened. It is way too long compared to the rest of the article. Too much attention is presently being given to a single trivial incident. Gail (talk) 21:11, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have forwarded this incident to the administrators' noticeboard. Anyone involved, please feel free to comment at Wikipedia:ANI#Cockerton. Gail (talk) 21:34, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note that a comparable thing happened to Denshaw. It might be worth looking at how that article benefitted from the attention, and also how it deals with its own news. --Jza84 | Talk 23:47, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
