Sinking problem

The article doesn't explain the "sinking problem" at all, it just assumes the reader already knows about it or can guess. Also, I think the "History" section should go before the "Outlook" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.102.220.129 (talk) 08:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. What is the sinking problem? Is it still a problem? Is this airport destined to be closed by 2055 or some other future year? Locarno (talk) 19:28, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes. Still sinking

The depth is decreasing 6 cm per year as of 2023

According to the graphs on that page, it has levelled off to 6 cm per year since about 2000, and the text of the article indicates this is the "natural" sink rate, so it will not stop. Mpking (talk) 13:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Same map code for all Airplane infoboxes

@Canterbury Tail Hi, first of all we should use the same method for all airports, that is, if there exists a built-in code in some template, it is preferable to use that code to avoid divergence of maps. For example, all airplane maps show the border of airports in red. See Haneda Airport and Narita International Airport.

Second, do you really think that airplane marker is redundant? If someone views this article and reaches this map, what he/she think about these two shadows? He may think that they are shadows of twin towers :). So I really think that this airplane marker is not redundant. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Um no they are not consistent methods, you are the one who has been introducing them. Your changes to maps have met with resistance in many areas and clearly don't have consensus. You cannot point at an article and go "look it's like this one" when you are the one that made that change to that article. It actually undermines your entire argument. A huge ridiculous bold border around an airport and an icon pointing to say it's an airport are completely unnecessary and actually distractingly pointless. This is just your personal preference, not a consensus and not something in all airports. If someone is looking at an article on an airport and doesn't know the map is of the airport, then there's sincere reading issues at play. Putting a huge garish border and a tag that it's an airport isn't providing any information not already there.

So here's the question(s). What is the use case here? What problem is making the border bright red and larger and dropping an airplane flag in the middle of a map, that we already know is about an airport, solving? What advantage is this bringing? How is this better than what is there before? Canterbury Tail talk 18:12, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
