Short Unbalanced Article
editThis article is too short and explains nothing.
It's also unbalanced because it only gives a single picture of events. Others (especially when concerning ufo incidents) will think differently about a topic such as this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nibinaear (talk • contribs) 19:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
This article needs a superhero
editBut a nerdy historian will suffice. Alan G. Archer (talk) 08:49, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Benjamin Radford - recent addition/revert
editBenjamin Radford may well have written a book about this but - what did he say about the topic? Alexbrn (talk) 15:26, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
2016 updates, revisions
editI've done some needed revisions and restructuring of the article based on the addition of reliable sources that are independent of ufology. Note that I've left the Farmington Daily Times citations in, but since this is a local paper promoting a UFO book by local authors as well as a local UFO event designed to raise funds, their coverage of the topic is overly credulous, to say the least. - LuckyLouie (talk) 19:38, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- @LuckyLouie: Why is this title so odd? Seems it should drop the last comma, and indicate the confirmed hoax. Aztec, New Mexico UFO hoax? – SJ + 18:36, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
- I don't recall editing the title, but bear in mind it was 5 years ago.
What "title" are you talking about?Ah, OK. If you're asking my opinion about whether the article should be moved to Aztec, New Mexico UFO hoax, I would agree. Its status as a hoax is supported by WP:RS, so the proposed title is appropriate. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:57, 7 May 2021 (UTC)- Thanks, updated. I know it's a long time ago! I just happened across it... – SJ + 20:11, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Grammar for page title
editShould not the title of the page match the opening line of the article, to be "Aztec, New Mexico, crashed saucer hoax" (not "Aztec, New Mexico crashed saucer hoax")? Proper grammar is to surround the state name in this instance with commas on both sides. Al Begamut (talk) 13:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
