A news item involving Airblue Flight 202 was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the In the news section on 28 July 2010.
Dubious
The aircraft cannot be an A320, as Airblue does not operate the type. Of course, once the registration is known, then the type will be apparent. Mjroots (talk) 06:48, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I found the article on AirBlue Wikipedia page concerning the crash. I had "reference needed" on the A319 but was deleted not long after. I feel my actions for citation for the type of plane Airbus whatever was not taken into consideration if it was really that type of plane flown by the Airblue Airline.

METAR
I've re-added the METAR to the article. This is relevant to the accident and weather conditions prevailing at the time. Mjroots (talk) 07:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
While I understand the importance of the METAR data, it would be preferable to use the translation in the actual prose and use the hard data in the footnote. Using it as is provides little help for the casual reader. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 07:35, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed the translation from a ref to a note, and wikilinked various terms in the translation. This should allow readers to fully understand the METAR now. Whether or not they understand its significance is another matter. Mjroots (talk) 08:03, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That topic brings up the same exact issue I am raising, which is the the distraction caused by raw METAR data in the main prose. I understand the objection to full direct translation as well. I may have been unclear before, but I would prefer the positions of the raw data and a condensed explanation swapped. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 08:29, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
