Official opening

According to this release, "On 2011 January 12, Jamaica will see the opening of its third international airport - The Ian Fleming International Airport." - BilCat (talk) 19:09, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IFIA website

As far as I can tell, http://www.ianflemingintlairport.aero/ is the website of the airport, as it is copyrighted "© 2011 Ian Fleming International Airport. All Rights Reserved." That's generally a sign of who owns the website. I've removed "official" from the listing in the External links section.

Per WP:EL#ADV:

"Wikipedia uses the same standards for evaluating links to websites owned by for-profit and (real or purported) non-profit organizations. Links to potentially revenue-generating web pages are not prohibited, even though the website owner might earn money through advertisements, sales, or (in the case of non-profit organizations) donations. Choose which pages to link based on the immediate benefit to Wikipedia readers that click on the link, not based on the organization's tax status or your guess at whether the website's owner might earn money from the link."

"based on the immediate benefit to Wikipedia readers", ie. far more accurate information that at the AAJ website, I see no reason not to list the website here. - BilCat (talk) 15:50, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A few minutes research at http://www.nic.aero/cgi-bin/whois.cgi will tell you that IANFLEMINGINTLAIRPORT.AERO is registered to the Airports Authority of Jamaica and is clearly the official website for the airport. MilborneOne (talk) 15:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The disputed "Official" website for Ian Fleming International Airport is not an official website at all. It is an advertising spam site that lifted technical data from the AAJ. I work for the AAJ and I can tell you that this site is in no way affiliated with our airport. Your comments about the AAJ website may be accurate, but the AAJ is responsible for the Ian Fleming Airport and I can tell you that we do not allow advertising on any of our airport websites. Please see the Norman Manley airport and Donald Sangster airport websites as examples. - Don1550 (talk) 15:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC) (Moved from my talk page. - BilCat (talk) 16:27, 22 April 2011 (UTC))[reply]

As you work for the organisation then perhaps a walk down the corridor to find the owner of the website, the name and phone number of the AAJ contact is listed on the www.nic.aero website. If it is not the official website then somebody in the AAJ is using the official name of the authority and airport to run the website which would be fraud, on balance highly unlikely. MilborneOne (talk) 16:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bit more research and it is rather strange that the same individual who is running the "private" advertising site is also the same person who has registered the airportsauthorityjamaica.aero the official AAJ website and nmia.aero which is the offical Norman Manley site, again on the balance of odds the AAJ website, the NMIA and IFIA website are all are official. MilborneOne (talk) 16:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with talk, this website is the official one (you can't get an .aero domain easily) and 95% of airports websites have at least advertising... Slasher-fun (talk) 17:16, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 21:32, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
