Talk:Dabolim Airport

message: Can we please just generally tidy up this article.  Some of the language used is simply not want you expect to find in an encyclopedia. For example, can we choose another subtitle for the section named "tying things down". This is Wikipedia!! More professionalism needed please!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.44.16 (talk) 18:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Professionalism 

message: For quite some time now, clicking on the item "Airports Authority of India: Goa Airport" in "External Links" results in HTTP 404 error, "file not found". This link should either be removed or replaced.
The article states that the ICAO Code of Goa is "VAGO". However, the Mumbai/Chennai FIR lines (VABF/VOMF) were realigned a few months ago and Goa now falls in the Chennai FIR. It is therefore redesignated as "VOGO".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.178.195.132 (talk) 09:52, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Query 

message: In the "External Links" on the Kochi (CIAL) airport page there is a link to A-ZWorld Airports which opens to a googlearth picture of the airport. This site also has a link to Dabolim airport. Is it possible for some kind soul to provide a A-ZWorld Airport link to Dabolim airport's googlearth picture as an extrernal link in the article on Dabolim? Thanks.
:It appears that A-Z is down (again) so I can't check to see they have the picture. However, if you click on the coordinate link in the infobox you will be able to see a google sat picture. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: The newspaper account in the WP article on K.P.Candeth does say "Lt.Gen". But he may have been promoted after the Goa invasion and Lt.Governorship. Pls see the following link:

replies: text: I think you may have fallen into the usual error of ranks here. At the time of the raid he was Major General and then later promoted to Lieutenant General. See Indian Army#Rank Structure CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Whoa! We both agree that he was major general at the time of the invasion and was promoted later to Lt.Gen, right? Your take on it for the GOI article is ok by me. That is what I myself had proposed.:) 61.1.76.2 07:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

message: First off military should take precedence over public as per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports/Infobox/Archive 3#Airport types.
The first thing that caught my attention was "Such combinations are usually problematic. So far, Dabolim airport is no exception." Then I noticed that there are a lot of interesting facts that look good and should have references such as "A peculiarity of the airport lies in the concentration of 80% of civilian traffic in the period between 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm during weekdays, with the balance in the early morning hours. This is because of naval restrictions for military flight training purposes." Something like that does not look made up so it should be easy to find a reference.
There are some references given at the bottom of the page but they need to be linked into the article. Other things like this may be good but why is this person believable? He may be a good authority on the airport but I can't tell that.
61.1.XX.XXX you have done a lot of great work and that should be acknowledged. I'm not trying to attack it or say there is anything wrong with just that it's time to put in some references. And remember, references don't always have to be web based. I have provided article references from several books that have no equivalent on the net.
By the way in reference  to your remark "...tag should not be a license to hit the delete button indiscriminately!". When I added the unsourced tag it was not an indication that I was going to start removing stuff without giving you a chance to supply the references. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the clarifications. Wish all this had been done earlier. Regarding "military taking precedence", in this case the airport was originally civilian. And even after the military take-over it is primarily serving a civilian function and is expected to continue to do so. What exactly struck you about the line regarding "problematic combinations"? Please elaborate. There is a considerable amount of discussion regarding the military flight restrictions so the point about 80% may not need a documentary reference to a statistical exercise. You are welcome to change the wording to reflect NPOV or whatever. Regarding the linking of article data to the references at the bottom and other nonweb sources this could be done by interested wiki savvy contributor(s). Finally, thanks for the pat on the back and for the assurance that there wont be deletions (as in the past -- by others and not you) without advance notice/suggestions and if possible the exercise of more advanced editing skills.:)61.1.74.55 10:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry about not bringing up earlier. If you have the sources but are not sure on how to link them then just put them on the talk page and someone can insert them. In the case of books and magazines that are not normally available on the web then an ISBN number is the best thing along with the title and author, etc. Can you say where the current four references should be linked to?

message: The end of Portuguese colonial rule in 1961 following a military action by the Indian Army is being referred to as an "invasion". This is not NPOV. It reflects the debate promoted by a handful who believe or suggest that Portuguese rule was the natural state of affairs in South Asia. In the interest of fairness, it might be acceptable to say that even the term "Liberation" (the official description in post-1961 Goa) is not NPOV. Such events should be just described as what they were -- the end of Portuguese rule, 1961, the end of Portuguese rule following a military action by the Indian Army... whatever. There are surely more neutral terms. --fredericknoronha 01:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Some local military people have equated it to "police action" to which I have suggested "excessive police action"!
61.1.69.242 07:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: On second thoughts there is a basic wiki issue here. Use of existing terms creates NPOV problems as highlighted by FN. On the other hand if we coin a new term you run into problems with NOR, right?61.1.69.27 09:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Invasion? 

message: I just spent a couple hours cleaning up this article.  I removed and changed a lot of information because much of what was included in this article was either not encylopedic, not relevant, or completely biased.  There was also a big formatting issue and a reference issue that I tried to solve.  The article still needs a lot of work, and there is a lot of information that needs sources.

replies: text: It is good to see that the substantial editing was done in conjunction with the rating of the article on the quality and importance scales. The new reference(s) was/were also appreciated. Changes have also been made to some ralated wiki articles. All in all, a welcome intervention. Let's hope this sets the trend for future updates. 61.1.69.38 05:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anyone please confirm the ICAO airport code for Dabolim? Most websites I have checked say VAGO but I cannot find a solid source to confirm.

replies: text: The ICAO code mentioned in the article is the right one. All ICAO codes for airports in India begin with "VO". — Abhishek  Talk 13:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this article India is divided into four centres by the ICAO: Bombay (VA), Calcutta (VE), Delhi (VI) and Madras (VO). This PDF from 2006 gives the code for Dabolim as "VAGO" and so does this website. This is the edit that changed VAGO to VOGO. As you can see it was done so by an unregistered editor without a summary or reference. Unless Goa has been moved from Bombay (VA) to Madras (VO), I see no reason for the code not to be VAGO. Couple more websites that say VAGO:  and . Thank you, Peroxwhy2gen Talk 08:02, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, Peroxwhy2gen. India indeed has four zones. I cant find any online evidence that Goa Airport has been moved from VAGO to VOGO. I think its safe to revert back to VAGO going by what the ICAO website says. Trinidade 15:07, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
