[edit] C-47 Dakota crash

This Wikipedia article seems to be the only source online for the apparent second crash, and indeed I really doubt it happened as Aer Lingus didn't operate US military aircraft - which the C-47 was.

I did, however, find reference to an Aer Lingus DC-3 - similar aircraft - crashing in England not Wales, in 1952 not 1957, with 23 fatalities of 23 on board. The site lists only one other crash for Aer Lingus, namely the Tuskar Rock one. Theres a fair few other references to the crash happening, so I guess this is it.

Additionally: [1] has 8 incidences down for Aer Lingus, five non-fatal, none in 1957. --Kiand 18:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tuscar Rock/Irish Aviation Authority

I am not too sure how the Irish Aviation Authority created a report on Tuscar Rock as the authority was only created in 1994 apparently? Was it a review in recent years? Djegan 20:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I've rewritten this reference to (hopefully) make it clearer. The original report dates from 1970 - there was a review by the Air Accident Investigation Unit (part of Dept of Transport, not IAA) in 1998 and a new report by independent experts commissioned by the Gov't and published in 2002.

[edit] Incidents and Accidents

Added some more info about runway incursion - seemed inadequate with just the original statement (especially comparing the detail used above), despite linking to full page.

[edit] Hijacking

Details on Hijacking please~? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 136.206.1.17 (talk) 16:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Current Event?

Why is this article under the label "Current Event"?

I have removed the "current event" label. As far as I can see, there is no current event relating to Aer Lingus. If anyone disagrees, let me know. Kaiserchris 11:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Aerlinguslogo.svg

I found Image:Aerlinguslogo.svg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Aerlinguslogo.svg

Image:Aerlinguslogo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Its the logo of a company, might you be able to figure that out for yourself and that that is as good reason as any for retention of said image? Rather than slavishly following deletion policies (and creating excess edits in the process) it might be a good idea to actually use your own intiative and provide a rationale yourself. Be pro-active. Djegan 16:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

It can't. It's a bot i.e. it's automated. It's looking for real people specificaly to go out and save those images by posting here. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 06:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
