I manage the website from which the offending copy was lifted, and it's OK with me. Much of the copy listed on the Flight 401 home page ( http://www.geocities.com/donuts13) was taken from the book "Crash" by Rob Elder and used with the author's permission.
We are currently involved in a slow edit war regarding the woooo ghosts section about which everybody seems to be consesnusensaul above, and yet an IP comes along around my bedtime for the last few nights, and re-inserts the crap. A couple of us have been reverting himher, (thanks) but it isn't very nice, and heshe hasn't read this page properly, or chooses not to.
Edit summary messages have been read it appears, but I can't see the point of leaving messages on a dynamic IP's talk page. I've never been to the drama boards for help before, but I'm tempted to ask for some semi-protection from admins if it happens again. -- Roxy the dog ( resonate) 17:34, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Will the editor who put the tag on the article please come to the talk page and explain the rationale behind it? It's not readily apparent what parts of the article purportedly need to be fixed, thus making it much harder for any potential editor to improve the article and remove the tag. Scanning through it, my best guess is that the tag was placed because of the decade long edit war that appears to be going on over the "pop culture" "ghost crap" (please note I'm neutral on that issue: I don't believe in ghosts, even though I've seen one; the ghost story part should be mentioned, based on the play it gets in the coverage, but the section as currently written needs to be liberally pruned with a sharp scalpel). So is the problem with the article that part of it, or was there some other reason for the tag? 73.36.62.119 ( talk) 11:50, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
