IATA codes?

The original "Melbourne Airport" was Essendon Airport (now MEB). The new airport was Tullamarine Airport (Now MEL). Was Tullamarine always MEL? Or did it change?, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.188.146.143 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Auto-archiving this page

Please don’t touch the talk page’s archives or place an auto-archive template at this moment as I’m currently waiting for assistance at the WP:Help desk on how to fix the mess that was created by an old manual archive. I will reply to this post once auto-archiving has been set up again. Fork99 (talk) 05:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All done. Fork99 (talk) 10:31, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) It's fixed now. I have deleted Talk:Melbourne Airport/Archive 2 since you copied the content to Talk:Melbourne Airport/Archive 1. The manual archiving was valid. The problem was to set up auto-archiving with counter = 1 instead of counter = 2 when there were 2 archives at the time. There is only 1 now so counter = 1 has become valid and I have restored auto-archiving. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

The article has uncited text, including entire paragraphs.
The "History" section does not give much post-2006 information, with no information about the airport's operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Is anyone interested in addressing the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:25, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
