Split/Disabig

Shouldn't this be a disambig page or deal with just the 1965 movie as there is another article for the 2004 movie. As it is now it reads badly trying to detail both movies which have many differences (location, aircraft etc) at the same time. --Achmelvic 15:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More importantly, shouldn't it be split between the novel and the 1965 movie? Although the plots are very similar, there are differences in the names and portrayal of characters.

Fair use rationale for Image:Flight of the Phoenix (1965).jpg

Image:Flight of the Phoenix (1965).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Arabs in Gobi?

Something wrong in plot description. Either Arabs (Sakhara) or Gobi Desert, which is located in Mongolia.

1965 film pictures Berbers (or Arabs) and Libyan/Tunisian part of Sakhara.

2005 film features some Mongol or Chinese nomadic tribe in Gobi desert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebiggestmac (talk • contribs) 17:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above apart from the fact that the second film is cited as 2004 elsewhere, I hope I'm doing nothing wrong but I've edited the plot description. I didn't want to specify which oriental race are in the nomadic tribe as I wouldn't know, also as my husband is from Algeria and I know something of the culture of north africa, you cannot specify arabs as the nomadic tribe, they could be tuareg or Amazigh (berber)Jannahred (talk) 23:34, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
