Re: Ryan Kirkpatrick and IP:220:253:172:45

I've reverted all edits by 220.253.172.45 (talk · contribs) because, on balance, they are not constructive although they were made in good faith. I appreciate the reason given for the initial deletion of about half the article was valid per WP:BAN, but that deletion removed links to several aircrash articles. Further edits to the list changed specific Boeing aircraft models to generic ones. My belief is that we should describe aircraft as accurately as possible, thus Boeing 747-121 and not Boeing 747-100. The way we should deal with this is by rewriting specific accidents to make them more encyclopedic. Any removals should be done one at a time rather than piecemeal, as that makes subsequent re-insertion a lot easier should it be judged that the removal should be undone.

I've rewritten the 1920s and 1930s entries. From the 1940s onwards, entries with just a date and link to the article need to be rewritten to give a brief overview of the accident. Mjroots (talk) 08:08, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the general rule is not to use the customer designations on Boeing types although I would agree they are needed in the related aircraft accident articles. The fact that a Boeing 747-100 was originally built for Pan Am hence the "21" is probably not that relevant to this list. MilborneOne (talk) 12:54, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that they should be re-done in the same style as the 1920s and 1930s but this will not take long so we dont need to remove all the "just link" entries for the moment. Perhaps we should add an under construction tag while it appears to be a mess. MilborneOne (talk) 13:01, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Soooo, it's more important for you to reward and encourage a serial sockpuppeter and restore a whole heap of rubbish that barely qualifies as English as well, and waste a couple of hours of work that actually made the article better, than it is to temporarily remove a few blue links that could easily be added back in a few minutes?
