Lilian Bland

Lilian Bland piloting the Mayfly

  • ... that the first woman to design and build her own aircraft – Lilian Bland (pictured) – flew it using a whisky bottle and an ear trumpet?

Moved to mainspace by Andrew Gray (talk), Andrew Davidson (talk). Nominated by Andrew Davidson (talk) at 00:35, 20 November 2013 (UTC).

  • Getting back to this, I see that the nom wasn't included in the list for the day. I thought there was a bot that did this? Anyway, I'll be attending to any loose ends this afternoon at an editathon. Andrew Davidson (talk) 08:22, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Amongst those loose ends is the absence of a QPQ.--Launchballer 13:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Suggested rewording of hook:
  • ALT1: ... that Lilian Bland (pictured), the first woman to design and build her own aircraft, flew it using a whisky bottle and an ear trumpet? Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Symbol voting keep.svg I'll go with Alt1. History thread shows when moved to mainspace. Length fine. Image is fine. Accepting book source in good faith, it has a page number that can be verified by someone who has a copy of it. I removed the empty section. No copy vios. - AnakngAraw (talk) 13:49, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Symbol question.svg I think a QPQ still needs to be done for this nomination? The image license also looks as if it needs to be double checked as it has a 'possibly un-free' template? SagaciousPhil - Chat 17:30, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

  • Apologies for the delay but I've been snowed under lately. Here's the outstanding responses:
  1. I've just done a QPQ and will do a couple more as interest on the debt.
  2. I'm not sure what to do about the image. Its age ought to make it public domain but none of the many news media which published on the anniversary of the flight gave details. I was planning to visit the BL to view the book about the subject which may shed more light on it but haven't had the time.
  3. About the hook. I wrote the first one to put the bold link to the article in the middle. My thinking was that putting the name at the start would reduce the chances of a click-through as the reader would have to return to the start of the sentence after the hook sunk in.
