Talk:Pan Am Flight 103 bombing investigation

message: Am I missing something? This looks like a dumping ground for images from the main Pan Am Flight 103 page - can we delete this now? Keithlard 17:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine, I didn't realise you're in the process of splitting this article out. If you're doing that, it would be better to do it all in one go rather than leave the article in a broken state for several days where casual browsers (like me) can come across it. Alternatively, if it's under heavy construction, I'd suggest taking it out of the category and making sure it's not linked from anywhere until it's 'ready for press'.

replies: text: Sorry, that sounded a bit short-tempered - it wasn't meant to be. To prove this isn't just hand-waving and show a bit of good faith, I've made a start on moving the text in from the main article. Keithlard 14:53, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The article is missing much from what I've found from just a cursory search. Where is the mention of Dr. Robert Black's considerable involvement. Why no mention that the Maltese shopkeeper (the ONLY evidence of al Megrahi's guilt) could only testify he resembled the person who bought the clothes and in fact not only did al Megrahi not even resemble the shopkeepers original description at all but he also picked out a photo (in 1990) of a terrorist named Abu Talb as resembling the purchaser more closely than al Megrahi did. I'm not talking blogs or alternate news here but sources such as the Guardian and BBC. Wayne 15:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What this and most of the articles on Lockerbie are missing is a NPOV. Even the talk pages -- this one included -- reek of bias. Rapunzel676 (talk)Rapunzel676  —Preceding undated comment added 02:26, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

text: I'd argue that they are "adequately" covered. Gauci being "an apple short of a picnic" does not give the reader much of an idea why. However I really need to read a lot more sources before editing (or argueing) anything or i'm at risk of mentioning something that may have been discounted over the years.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:PAradio.jpg

message: There is another reminder in Issue 1239 of Private Eye of the break-in discovered by Heathrow security guard Ray Manly on the morning of the bombing, and the broken padlock which he handed to the police. His evidence was never produced in court, at either the original trial or the FAI. But it does not seem to appear anywhere in the article. Is this information considered as unverifiable? Apparently, in view of Al Megahi's deteriorating health, Jim Swire has written again to request a re-opening of the FAI. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:24, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Now overtaken by events, it seems even less likely that this "evidence" will ever be produced in a court if law. But am still interested as to its verifiability for the purposes of the article. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:31, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

message: In Pan Am Flight 103 main page, it is stated that contrary to many popular accounts of the disaster, the flight, which had a scheduled gate departure time of 18:00, left Heathrow airport on time.  The introduction here says the opposite, or, it might be claimed, relies on one of those "many popular accounts".  (The articles' respective claims are both properly sourced, but due to the way it's been written, I tend to believe the version where the plane was on schedule.)
