Orphaned references in Aviation in Australia edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Aviation in Australia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "1997report":

From Melbourne Airport: "1997–1998 Annual Report" (PDF). Melbourne Airport. 1998. Archived from the original (PDF) on 15 August 2011. Retrieved 20 September 2011. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |dead-url= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)
From Federal Airports Corporation: "1997–1998 Annual Report" (PDF). Melbourne Airport. 1998. Retrieved 20 September 2011.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:19, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

State / Federal control of aviation edit

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm surprised that this article doesn't mention the 1937 Australian referendum on aviation. It sought to establish Commonwealth to control civil aviation. It was defeated, which seems to mean that technically aviation is controlled by the States (which seems odd).

I don't have the expertise to add this material myself, but I think it is probably worth adding. Jonathan O'Donnell (talk) 07:52, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
