Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 edit
Discussions about improving the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 article go on the talk page Talk:Alaska_Airlines_Flight_1282. Note that we report what reliable sources say. Your concerns are not going to be incorporated into the article unless and until reliable sources report on them. Wikipedia does not get into speculation or expressing, in Wikivoice, its concerns. We do not have an agenda to bring attention to matters; that is for reliable sources to do. So, I am not sure you are going to get on Wikipedia what you want. There are numerous places on the internet where such speculations and theories are discussed, but Wikipedia is not one of those. I hope this explanation helps you understand. Thank you and Happy editing. — Archer (t·c) 09:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Archer, Well, OK. thanks for the reply. Why were the external links removed? Do you intend to reformat them and republish? I would think that the EASA type certificate data sheet given in the external reference is a "reliable source", and it indicates the 737-900ER has the mid cabin door. This is also visible in a photo posted 12 years ago here (https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=770323) so this seems to be a reliable fact. So wikipedia could state as fact something like "The Boeing 737-900ER also has a door plug, but to date this aircraft has not been mentioned by the NTSB or the FAA in the context of this incident." all factual, relevant, and from reliable sources. Thank you, QualityMattersJoe 172.92.91.184 (talk) 10:01, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @QualityMattersJoe. It looks like you may have been logged out when you replied as your IP address is visible. In any event, I encourage you to go to the talk page at Talk:Alaska_Airlines_Flight_1282 and ask if those links are appropriate to be added. WP:ELPOINTS contains some important points to keep in mind about adding external links that you might want to read and keep in mind. Happy editing. — Archer (t·c) 10:13, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
