Now the Laureus set is complete, we're back to a few more randoms, and this is one such list. A highly notable aviation award with a long history, hopefully you'll all agree I've improved it from where I found it, to the point of it being considered worthy of FL status. As always, I'll work my hardest and quickest to address any comments anyone may raise. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:19, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is an American award, then every date in every reference needs to be American style → Month Day, Year (January 13, 2018)
Not necessarily. As long as they're consistent, that's fine, and since when I found the list like this, there were no dates (and no references), it's first come, first served on date formats! The Rambling Man (talk) 19:23, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I got at first glance. Great job to another great list! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 19:20, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BeatlesLedTV thanks, as always, I think I've addressed your concerns and, if not, commented above. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:23, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support – You're right I'm sure it's not that big a deal. I'll see if other editors mention it. As always, great job TRM! Care to check out my new FLC? BeatlesLedTV (talk) 19:27, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I made a few basic grammar fixes ("myriad of" is not actually wrong). My only suggestion is to reword "cited" a few times; the 36 instances of the word feels quite repetitive as you read the winner notes. Reywas92^Talk 07:06, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:34, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - can't see any issues. The lead seems a little short, but maybe that's genuinely all there is to say....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:43, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you ChrisTheDude. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:56, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support after two read-throughs and a perusal of the sourcing I found it necessary to... add a category. Nice work. Courcelles (talk) 22:31, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from MWright96 (talk) 13:22, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from MWright96* "Marion Blakey, former administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board was honored in 2013; and the 2016 recipient was Colleen Barrett, President Emeritus of Southwest Airlines." - Shouldn't the semi-colon be replaced by a comma?

The access date in the third source is written as 2017-12-11 when the rest are listed as 7 December 2017 e.g.
Reference 11 is missing the newspaper field which should be The Washington Post
I don't believe that Reference 59 should be linked to the stock market on Bloomberg's websites
Refs 64, 66, 68, 70, 71, 73, 74, 75, 76 do not have the publication date of the press releases

Those were all the issues I discovered on a first glance. Nothing overly major here as usual. MWright96 (talk) 11:32, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MWright96 as ever, thanks for your review. I think I've addressed everything you've noted. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:46, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Neat work as ever TRM. MWright96 (talk) 13:22, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
