Talk:2005 Iranian Air Force C-130 crash

message: Virtually every source is quoting a different district:
*"Azari neighbourhood" – Accident description at the Aviation Safety Network
*"Yaftabad district" – Plane crashes in suburb of Tehran at BBC News
*"Towhid residential complex" –  Plane Hits Iran Building at Sky News
*"Yaftabad district" –  10 dead as military plane crashes in Tehran at ABC News
The others report it as near the airport or just a "densely populated district" - I think we should do the same until it's clear.  violet/riga (t) 16:16, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well BBC News and ABC News are always pretty accurate and reliable sources (I read BBC News quite a bit), so I'd say its Yaftabad district, and not the others. I've never heard of Aviation Safety Network before in my life, and I'm not sure if Sky News should be trusted. — Wackymacs 18:42, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: They're not reporting different districts. They're reporting "the Towhid residential complex in the Azari neighborhood, Yaftabad district". 69.156.204.37 19:50, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Not neccessary, capital of Iran is not exactly a remote destination.  Similar articles do not have maps unless needed Sherurcij 17:23, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not remote, but hardly well-known.  I think it adds to the article, and have replaced it. violet/riga (t) 17:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I was referring to its location.  violet/riga (t) 17:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I never noticed that map was on the Tehran article, but that map is pretty low-quality. It's brightness and strange colors are also distracting. Any possiblity to find another map, for both articles maybe? 69.156.204.37 19:52, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure about whether the same link should be present in footnotes and external links. On the one hand, it's redundant, but at the same time, it seems proper form. I'm not familiar enough with Wikipedia. Jibbajabba 18:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm incredibly busy at the moment with non-wiki things (life, ya know), but happened to notice that someone's managed to f#ck up the footnotes.  Can someone with a little time please clean up this mess?  What's footnoted doesn't correspond with the numbered footnotes.  And people haven't used them in order either.  So, it's really uh... f#cked up.
PS.  I'm tempted to change "floor" back to "storey", "plane" back to "aeroplane" and exercises back to "manoeuvres".... Why can't we dumbass Americans leave proper English spelling alone?  In a few generations, with the current immigration patterns, we'll probably be speaking spanish, and focus on contaminating that language... so you brits can have your language back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jackk (talk • contribs) 01:10, 8 December 2005.
:I think it's because Wikipedia is an American website. CNN doesn't use storey, aero, and manoeuvres, just as the BBC doesn't say story, airplane, or maneuvers, so why should Wikipedia have to adapt to a language that it is not based on? Eightball 18:44, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

message: :The plane, bound for Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf, was carrying 10 crew and 84 passengers [...] of whom sixty-eight were reportedly journalists en route to watch a series of military exercises off the country's southern coast.
followed by
:Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that all 94 people on board, including 40 journalists', were killed upon impact.
I cannot correct this, as I do not know what is correct. --Smári McCarthy 18:04, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

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.
