United Airlines Flight 232[edit]

Done a lot of work on this and wondered if we can aspire to get it to FA status, and if so, what would need to be done? --Guinnog 19:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • My take:
I like the article. Good job so far.
I've added "cn" tags where I think in-line refs are absolutely necessary. You still are going to want to supplement.
"Captain Alfred C. Haynes and his flight crew (First Officer William Records, who was flying, and Second Officer Dudley Dvorak, flight engineer) felt a jolt going through the aircraft, and warning lights showed that the autopilot had disengaged, and the tail-mounted number two engine was malfunctioning." This is too long and convoluded.
"As with the Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 crash of a similarly-sized Lockheed L-1011 in 1972, the inherent crashworthiness of newer wide-bodied air transports played a part in the relatively high survival rate, as well as the shallow rate of descent and relatively low speed." Another long and convoluded sentence.
Lessons learned? Is this the best title name in the world? C'mon. It's POV and Un-encyclopedic.
Just a light copyedit needed.
I like the article. Maybe you could trim the sidepaths to similar other crashes jumbled within the prose and just make a sub-section under "See also" called "Similar incedents."
Wait. You've already started something like this under see also, but you still have the prose content in the article and only have fixed this for 1 reference. Please follow up.
Just keep an eye on your "notable survivors". There is no problem now, but if this does become a featured article and gets any bit of press attention or is the today's featured article, much junk will end up there.
