Fair use rationale for Image:Dash 8 Down- the Inside Story of Ansett Flight 703 book cover.jpg[edit]

Image:Dash 8 Down- the Inside Story of Ansett Flight 703 book cover.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

URL from hell[edit]

I've updated the link to taic.org for the report on this crash. I'm guessing they revamped their website and the old link was a now a 404 error.

The new link goes to a summary page, and where you can download the .pdf version of the report. But, the URL goes on forever.

Anyone know how to clean this up in the reference list?

OR conspiracy theory[edit]

I've removed most of the info on the mobile phone call [1] as it appears to be uncited and WP:OR. Frankly I'm not convinced this belongs at all, it appears to be some random thing that was quickly discredited or rejected as irrelevant and I'm particularly not convinced it belongs in the WP:LEDE but given the state of the article, I'm letting it be for now.

The article is a mess. The intro (visually) has twice as many words as the body text. It's a year ago today since the 203.97.111.11 vandal added this info you removed. He also created the sub-heading "Concealment that Radio Altimeter aerials were painted". Concealment? How do you conceal something which is visible? He also added "TAIC insisted the paint did not block or reflect signals" but there is no mention of that in the ref. Moriori (talk) 20:58, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar[edit]

He failed to free them and a flash fire critically burned him. He died from his injuries two weeks later. Thus, three passengers also died and many others sustained injuries.

Either that thus or that also makes no sense. The passage is obscure.2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:AC0D:835D:E8C6:CF6F (talk) 18:31, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
