  • Symbol confirmed.svg Good for size, time, copyvio, DABs, and external links. Missing some cites. Not thrilled with the wording of the hook. How about something along the lines of "...crashed into a watermelon patch, killing all 127 aboard" or somesuch?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:13, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
  • OK, that phrasing works. Add the needed cites and we'll be done here.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:24, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
  • OK, will do (I am quite busy for the next few days, so please be patient). Thanks, Matty.007 19:29, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg While there wasn't a big rush, three weeks is excessive. This nomination needs to be properly dealt with: it should not take this long to come up with three inline source citations. Please supply them within the next week. Thank you.

  • Sorry, had forgotten about this, and will try and find sources soon. Matty.007 17:12, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Done. Template:U: can you re-review this please? Thanks, Matty.007 16:29, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Good to go, although I'd strongly recommend combining several of your very short paragraphs. Forex, the 2nd para of the lede fits right in with the first para.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:11, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Is it not OK as the lede is meant to summarize the article? Otherwise, is this tick-worthy? Thanks, Matty.007 17:46, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Please can someone with DYK know-how input the picture I said about above please? Thanks, Matty.007 17:47, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Done. I've also struck the original hook, added the missing "..." and "pictured" to ALT1, and adjusted the lede per Sturmvogel 66's request (which I agree with). Once Sturmvogel 66 confirms that the new picture is both in the article and properly licensed and given this the necessary approval tick, it should be ready.

  • Symbol confirmed.svg The pic is appropriately licensed and in the article.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:16, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
