[edit]Please be more careful than this, especially when making controversial edits. The Telegraph item you cite didn't mention the point you used it to support. The other two were both based on one AP report, yet you didn't indicate the agency in the citation. This would lead a reader to think there was independent corroboration. Further, the AP report attributed the statement to a former NTSB official that should have been named. I've amended it for you.LeadSongDog come howl 19:57, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you
[edit]Thank you for the amendment. LeadSongDog, please be more care than this, and make certain to identify uncommon figures with correct identification of their position in the future when first mentioned in an entry. I further amended your statement to correctly identify "Goglia," for the common reader would not reasonably discern that "Goglia" is John Goglia of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. On another note, I apologize for forgetting to delete the Telegraph article. Sfgiantsbuff
- Good catch. Irony noted. Any preference for which of the two renditions of the AP release to keep? I remain puzzled how he thinks the luggage could have avoided burn marks, but that'd be OR.LeadSongDog come howl 04:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message and great point. Since you are one of the best editors, I will defer to your experience and expertise regarding this issue. Sfgiantsbuff
