Talk:Luton Airport

message: Do we really need a "citation needed" at the end of every sentence? I mean it's a fact that Luton is roughly 30 miles north of London - other than saying "look at a map" what else are we meant to do? Anyway it makes the article unreadable with these things all over the page. 86.10.102.62 17:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is that the article is factually meaningless without the citations. We cant remove the tags unless we provide references for them.-- Flymeoutofhere 18:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well "editors" on most other articles seem able to come to consensus without sticking tags at the end of every easily verifiable statement. Isn't the "Articles in Need of Sources" enough? I don't know, I'm just a casual user, but it's not very impressive. 86.10.102.62 03:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, someone has got a bit 'citation'-happy with this. Putting citation on the location etc is rather pathetic as to follow this every single article about a place needs many more citations.--GazMan7 11:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have any additional photos which could enhance the article? Maybe of the new terminal area? Flymeoutofhere 09:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is the sentence:
This airport is also used by the England football team when flying out to international games.
bolded in the article, and why is it in the History section?? Jake95 17:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know what is the largest airplane that can operate from Luton?
I do of course mean when full of passengers etc and not empty.
Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.13.41.18 (talk) 22:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Largest Airplane 

message: A steep dropoff to the town of Luton sounds impressive but it's meaningless. It's lorry-driver English. To be encyclopedic, the entry would talk about the relative heights of airport and town-centre and, if appropriate, any cliffs or steep inclines between them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Pauldanon (talk) 12:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Pauldanon. Thanks for your comment. Please feel free to go ahead and improve the article as you suggest. -- Chris j wood 12:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's fairly obvious if you look at the Ordnance Survey map here: . THe western end of the runway is about 155 metres AMSL, the A1081 and the railway line are at about 115 metres. If it wasn't for this sudden drop, the planes taking of in this direction would have trouble clearing the factories and railway line at the end of the runway! TiffaF 14:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I notice that a London portal has just been added to the article and it is part of the London project. Just curious as to why as the airport is not actually in London? MilborneOne (talk) 20:51, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Why did El Al choose to fly to London Luton seen as its mostly a low cost airport. I couldn't expect that they would be carrying heavy numbers of passengers to Tel Aviv on a regular basis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.44.222.172 (talk) 18:31, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Distances 

message: On 14th March 2013, a new member of staff posted the picture of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_1248 crash on Luton Airport's official Facebook page. The picture sparked complaints, with the caption of, "Because we are such a super airport...this is what we prevent you from when it snows...Weeeee :)" I'm not sure this is 100% relevant, so I shall leave it here along with a BBC source that someone may add in should they please. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-21782339 Predspread (talk) 17:27, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  2013 Luton Airport Facebook Controversy 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Luton Airport's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "W6/WU13":
From Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International Airport: W6/WU13
From Cluj International Airport: New route to DWC
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:14, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Luton Airport]] 

message: I recently made an edit stating that Thomas Cook fly from Luton to Dalaman, ending on 31st July. There was a reference provided and another editor as removed it. That editor looks like he DID not read the reference.
3 Things Here
- The reference IS the TCX TIMETABLE, if there IS any false information it would be REMOVED.
- If you are REMOVING something and state a reason and the other editor disagrees with it you MAKE sure they read your reference.
- If it continues to happen you get other users to join the conversation. RMS52 (talk) 09:10, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
