I absolutely don't see any necessity of the world map highlighting the various countries of origin. What good does that do for the article or for coverage of the plane crash in general? If you want to list the countries, as the number missing section does, that is perfectly understandable. However, the map is pointless; just because one person from the U.S. is missing, you highlight it just as you did for Cameroon where 35 people were from? I understand the need to show how diverse the passenger list was, however a better picture would be a stock photo of the plane, the wreckage, etc...

This article seems to have been started even before reports came out confirming the plane crash. 124.176.87.176 09:22, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- BBC News in UK is now showing "Cameroon Plane Crash" 194.75.37.250 09:42, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- I started Adam Air Flight 574 within five hours of the loss of contact; no wreckage was found for ten days, and the main debris field was missing for about a month. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 10:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Scary that it can take that long to discover wreckage. In that case in ocean, in this case in dense jungle. I'm off to post a question on the Wikipedia:Reference Desk about longest discovery times and which crashed aircraft were never discovered (eg. those early aviation pioneers). I suppose the world is not as small as modern telecommunications makes it seem. Carcharoth 14:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Flight KQ 507
This article was started as Flight KQ 507, however someone saw fit to change it to Flight 507, supposedly to be consistent with other Wikipedia articles. The company itself calls it Flight KQ 507, so why do some Wikipedia contributors see fit to change this fact by omission? Ajayvius 02:06, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- The current title is like other similar air crashes (eg Adam Air Flight 574). It is also more likely users will search Kenya Airways Flight, rather than use the airline's two letter code. My two cents. Flyguy649talkcontribs 03:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Wikinews & Wikipedia
Why is there almost identical info in both articles? Should there even be a Wikipedia article? Perhaps once sentence in Wikipedia (at most), then redirection or link to Wikinews. rossnixon 05:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Wikinews and wikipedia serve different purposes. Ultimately these articles should diverge significantly Nil Einne 05:59, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
This article is in need of expansion. I will go to BBC and AP to see what they have and will expand the article asap. Terence 06:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Countries of Origin Map
I absolutely don't see any necessity of the world map highlighting the various countries of origin. What good does that do for the article or for coverage of the plane crash in general? If you want to list the countries, as the number missing section does, that is perfectly understandable. However, the map is pointless; just because one person from the U.S. is missing, you highlight it just as you did for Cameroon where 35 people were from? I understand the need to show how diverse the passenger list was, however a better picture would be a stock photo of the plane, the wreckage, etc... Neoelitism 17:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
