  • Good for size, time, copyvio, DABs, and external links. Missing some cites. Not thrilled with the wording of the hook. How about something along the lines of "...crashed into a watermelon patch, killing all 127 aboard" or somesuch?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:13, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
  • OK, that phrasing works. Add the needed cites and we'll be done here.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:24, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
  • OK, will do (I am quite busy for the next few days, so please be patient). Thanks, Matty.007 19:29, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
  • While there wasn't a big rush, three weeks is excessive. This nomination needs to be properly dealt with: it should not take this long to come up with three inline source citations. Please supply them within the next week. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:39, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Sorry, had forgotten about this, and will try and find sources soon. Matty.007 17:12, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Good to go, although I'd strongly recommend combining several of your very short paragraphs. Forex, the 2nd para of the lede fits right in with the first para.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:11, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Is it not OK as the lede is meant to summarize the article? Otherwise, is this tick-worthy? Thanks, Matty.007 17:46, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Please can someone with DYK know-how input the picture I said about above please? Thanks, Matty.007 17:47, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Done. I've also struck the original hook, added the missing "..." and "pictured" to ALT1, and adjusted the lede per Sturmvogel 66's request (which I agree with). Once Sturmvogel 66 confirms that the new picture is both in the article and properly licensed and given this the necessary approval tick, it should be ready.

  • The pic is appropriately licensed and in the article.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:16, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
