message: The main article currently contains the following sentence:
"Flying over the Hump proved to be a nearly suicidal endeavour on the part of Allied flight crews."
Well, I guess it might be, or might have been, but the word I am having problems with is nearly -    Should this word be struck out?   If flying over the hump were actually suicidal, then the number of suicides (or fatalities, in other words) could be listed.   I have no doubt that flying over a series of ravines could be difficult.  Especially with violent breezes coursing up and down the gorges (much worse at some times of the year than others, I'll bet), but in any case the passage could be improved with an eye to accuracy, and less emphasis on the drama involved.   216.99.198.102 (talk) 22:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This article has come a long way since I last contributed to it. However it is badly in need of citations for each and every paragraph. Books already cited also need to have page numbers added to them and periodicals and web pages need dates. Also web pages are a problem because they probably do not meet WP:SOURCES requirements.-- PBS (talk) 13:34, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Cleaned up all that, used Harvard notation templates for all books, eliminated all of the private web sites as primary documentation or identified them as such, and reorganized the rest. There were a lot of factual errors, particularly in who commanded what when, some of that obviously due to the source it was obtained from, and I carefully corrected that (and my own errors along the way) and cross-checked for accuracy between sources not necessarily regurgitating content from earlier sources. Edited and tweaked what previously existed in this article (but kept as much of it as possible) and fleshed out the history to what I hope is seen as meaningful cause-effect-resolution for the many phases of the airlift.--Reedmalloy (talk) 06:05, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources 

message: I suppose it goes without saying that only pressurized aircraft were able to make the trip?  (Could a knowledgeable editor who knows the facts mention this as an operational constraint in the article?)  Comet Tuttle (talk) 22:38, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe so. Oxygen masks were used as needed, but they were generally "only" flying at about 18,000 feet or so.--172.191.112.214 (talk) 02:26, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  American businessman looks for the wreckage every year 

message: The block quote edit, deleted by me and now reverted, asserts that the quote is a point of view of a crewman, Dayne Kline. It probably reflects his views, but the passage quoted is clearly a characterization by the page author, David Kline, likely a relative, and not the words of Dayne Kline as purported. For now I will accept the "better source needed" flag attached as sufficient, but the descriptions by others who were there, such as Tunner and Gann, already make the point being made, and I agree with PBS that the entire quote should be deleted if it cannot be better sourced, as we both described in the edit summaries for all the edits made in October.--Reedmalloy (talk) 16:27, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Dayne Kline "quote"

message: I don't want to insert a blatant ad and there's no section for references, popular culture or memorials...so is this worth inserting?  They pretty big on informing backpackers about the history of the flights and have walls of stories and photos.  The fact that I like the place is why I sort of don't want to insert them since I'm pretty non-neutral about it.
