message: Can someone find an image in public domain? I haven't edited Wikipedia for awhile so I kinda forgot all the rules and stuff. Cheers -- Imoeng 09:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You do have the option of a fair use image as well Gnangarra 09:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So I just have to find an image (any) and tag it as a fair use image? Imoeng 09:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah thats basically it you need to have the source of the image on the image description page and also place a fair use rationale as to why the image is being used. There also a tag requesting that the image be replaced with a free version, I'll find that and put a link here. Also one image is enough, its quality should be low so as not to diminish the photographers ability to sell itGnangarra 09:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool thanks I'll wait for the link. Imoeng 10:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  the link Gnangarra 11:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Just to clarify policy states that images used under fair use must not be resonably replacable. Current intepration of policy is that if the image is resonably replacable it should be deleted. Of course, what's resonably replacable is of some debate. But generally, quite a number of people feel if it is a living person who appears publicly or an object or landmark in a location where it can be accessed resonably easy by the public then this is resonably replacable. The guideline on this is still in flux Wikipedia:Replaceability of fair-use images but you might want to read the discussion for some info. I'm strongly supportive of free images and the deletion of resonably replacable fair use images but in this case, as it's a unique event I think most people would agree it's not resonably replacable so it will be okay provided it meets the other criteria Nil Einne 15:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: but I'm sure the crash image would not be repeateable and of course replacable. — Indon (reply) — 15:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Alright, new image. Hopefully it's okay. Imoeng 21:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

text: As I remarked, I don't think there will be any debate about the replacability of the image but as I also remarked, the photo has to meet the other criteria which it apparently doesn't. Nil Einne 05:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

text: It is. But maybe the same dude will tag it again for deletion. Imoeng 22:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

text: It may be a nice photo but it doesn't appear to meet the all the criteria. There is little doubt it's not reasonably replacable but it's my understanding press photos should not be used unless they're iconic Nil Einne 05:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Al jazeera mentions witnesses saw the plane bounce when landing (and tyres break). This should be significant. Does it mean the plane had to land on a higher then usual speed?
Wich is what i think.(so to keep airspeed) Or is it an indication of the technicallity that caused the crash?
(i think there is no sabotage because sabotaged planes crash anywhere but usually on landing.)80.57.243.16 13:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually (s)he is correct. I saw a news mentioned that the plane bounced twice because of overspeed. But then a good citation would be useful. Imoeng 19:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Bouncing

message: How can an airline 'known for its safety' then proceed ot be criticised for being one of the worst in terms of national carriers? Isn't this a bit of an oxymoron?
:Ah yeah, my bad. The thing is, before this accident, it's known for its safety. But then some dude said Garuda is the worst in terms of national carriers. Get that? Thanks - Imoeng 21:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Two things - for a while Garuda had had a bad reputation - then, the others took over (Adam Air) - as Garuda had employed overseas experts to improve its practices and facilities to reduce the acident rate - so whoever the dude is - it depends on what sources you use - the proper sequence should be (1) garuda did have a problem in the 1980/1990's with regular very embarrassing crashes (2) by the 2000's with overseas help the accident rate had been reducd (3) the cut price airlines like adam started having the crashes/plane loss  - but then the editors who did the info in this article can choose to use particular citations and make it look like garuda is the constant culprit.  not correct. it all depends what citations you use! SatuSuro 22:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well yeah, most Indonesians I know reckon Garuda is the safest and the most reliable one. Then an article came across that said Garuda is the worst. And it's just a bit confusing, as well as for the writer of the section, which is me. Imoeng 22:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think what this section needs are citations from before this crash. Otherwise, neither the positive or negative claims should remain. Quadpus 22:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fatalities

message: The radio news in Perth is reporting that survivors are being treated in Singapore, Darwin and Royal Perth Hospital ref 1 ref 2. Additionally its being reported that Fiona Wood is on site assisting the treatment of the burns victims. 
Any thoughts on whether any of this should be included into the article Gnangarra 03:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Treatment of the injured 

message: Some amature footage has surfaced from a few minutes after the plane crashes, it was taken by a passenger. It simply shows the plane burning, people running, a medium sized explosion, a few slightly injured people (nothing gory) and rescue crews arriving. I am not sure what wikipedia's policy is on such types of videos or adding them (I know its uncensored) but I doubt few would call the site it comes from a "reliable source", in any case, here is the link to the video. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2b9_1173306001 if anyone feels like adding it, be my quest, but I figured I would post it in here first to see what the general consensus is. Like I said, nothing gory, nothing truly shocking.--Azslande 04:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The video was recorded by a Seven Network reporter who was on board the flight, so it might need permission to be linked. If it was amateur footage, it could probably be added. But since it was recorded by a network, it might be a violation to add it. Since it has an ABC logo in the corner though, I'd imagine it's been released to the public for free viewing. Orichalcon 05:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it's arguable if there is ever a case when you need permission to link to something (although in some cases it is polite). However people do need permission to redistributed content. In this case, LiveLeak appears to be like YouTube and people often upload stuff they don't have permission to redistribute. It is against wikipedia policy to link to copyright violations and as such if this is a copyright violation which I suspect it is (see below) we shouldn't link to it. If a source could be found for this from the news media, whether 7 News or ABC or whatever, linking to that would be fine. Note amateur footage or not, copyright issues still need to be considered. The primary issue here is that amateurs of course often choose to release their videos to sites like LiveLeak but as I remarked it has a watermark (ABC you say?) suggesting it didn't come directly from the person who shot it and it seems unlikely the contributor is or knows the person who shot it given his contribution history Nil Einne 05:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Edit conflict- The fact it's uncensored doesn't matter. It would be fine in external links provided it's not a copyright violation. If liveleak makes an effort to verify their sources it would be fine. However if they're like YouTube and allow anyone to upload anything greater care should be taken. The fact that the contributor appears to have contributed stuff from the news media (I see stuff from Fox News and from MSNBC in his contributions) suggests to me the LiveLeak is like YouTube and the contributor often contributes stuff he probably doesn't have permission to redistribute and so we should take care. Also it appears to have a watermark which suggests to me it originated from another source. Finally are you sure it's amateur footage? I know there were news reporters on the plane and I heard a 7 News reporter started shooting after he got off the plane. If it were from a commercial reporter, this would be even more reason to be circumspect although there is no reason to assume an amateur has released the copyright for their footage either Nil Einne 05:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I really doubt that liveleak actually verifies any videos posted on its site. Also I did notice the icon in the upper right corner but I didn't recognize it. I just figured I would post the link and let everyone else decide whats best to do with it.--Azslande 06:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it would be best left out of the article unless Seven Network adds a link to their official website. People can view it from the link on this talk page if they wish. Orichalcon 09:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: What they said was that the whole tail was painted black to remove the Garuda logo from any more pictures. Gnangarra 12:41, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  That's exactly what Adam Air did to the plane involved in an incident that snapped it in half two weeks ago. Is this commonplace? Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart - Receive My EviLove 07:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I believe it is common; it was remarked on after an Air Canada crash a few years ago and the airline was quoted as explaining that shortly after a crash, title of the wrecked craft transfers to their insurer or perhaps a salvage operator and it's normal for the new owner—not the airline itself—to efface the logos, at least symbolically. Perhaps it marks legal acceptance of ownership or something. As for removing the tail, I dunno. Sounds like something that might be done for the safety of investigators picking through the wreckage. I can hardly imagine that the airline could sneak into a crash site with the kind of equipment that would be required. Sharkford 20:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources 

message: I've done some Google web/news searches and can find no reports that a vehicle was on the runway during the landing. All reports on the cause that I have seen discuss speed, pilot error, flap malfunction or a downdraft. The only reference cited makes no mention of a vehicle on the runway during the landing.
The only mention of vehicles on the runway that I have seen are reports of a rescue vehicle requesting permission to enter the area after the crash had occurred:
http://www.airportbusiness.com/online/article.jsp?id=10936&siteSection=1
I find it hard to believe that such a significant development, if remotely credible, could have received virtually no press coverage, so I am removing reference to it. If you want to put it back in, please provide a credible reference.Seth ze 01:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
