LaMia

[edit]

Created by Hack (talk), Raymie (talk), Sunnya343 (talk), and Cclark0 (talk). Nominated by Raymie (talk) at 00:12, 1 December 2016 (UTC).

  • New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. NPOV. Hooks are interesting and both supported by citations. Well cited throughout. Earwig and spot checking found no close paraphrasing, copyright violations or plagiarism. DYK done. I prefer the original hook, but it is rather verbose, so I've had a go with an ALT2, which seems better, but is still not quite right! Edwardx (talk) 13:48, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
  • @Raymie and Edwardx: I came to promote this but although it is mentioned in the Spanish language quote you give, I could not find in the article the fact that keeping the same company name was a cost-cutting measure taken to avoid repainting the aircraft. Another point, I think the term "lease" is preferable in hook and article to "rent". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:15, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you Cwmhiraeth. I agree that "rented" should be changed to "leased" in both hooks. I also agree that the cost-cutting aspect should be explicit in the article itself, and will leave it to Raymie to adjust the article text. Looking back, perhaps it was my self-satisfaction with being able to follow the Spanish that led me to overlook checking the article as thoroughly as I should have.

  • @Cwmhiraeth and Edwardx: Leased is probably better as it's the more common term in aviation and I would not object to that change for any of the hooks. I've also made the article changes. Raymie (tc) 17:20, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
