Hello, and I'll be reviewing this excellent article! This will be awesome :) Brandon (MrWooHoo) • Talk to Brandon!  02:31, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Note: I do my review in a style with a main review covering the GA criteria, a prose review, and then a source review. See this review for an example.


 * Hi Brandon, sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks for reviewing this article.  I have gone through the notes written thus far, and you have notated to see prose/source sections, but those sections are empty.  Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.  Perhaps your still preparing your notes.  Please note, it may take me a couple of days to see and respond to your comments as I've had some personal matters (new job, etc..) come up recently which are taking most of my attention and thus limiting my time on Wikipedia.

Prose Review
Note: If you have changed the sentence that needed to be corrected, press Enter and start off the line with, then use ✅ or ✅ If the change was only partially done use, and or ❌ if the change could not occur. (If you would explain why, I would be greatly appreciated :P) To see code, go to edit source and copy the code.

"Buildings, operations and management have become increasingly sophisticated since the mid 20th century."
 * Lead
 * Add a comma after sophisticated.
 * ✅ I would tend to say it's better grammatically without the comma but could go either way. David Condrey   log talk  10:16, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

(Extra Note) Is referencing in the lead necessary? I read here that you didn't need to.

"Four-engined land planes being unavailable for over-water operations to international destinations, flying boats became part of the solution." "Maybe say "...international destinations, thus/therefore flying boats became part..."
 * History
 * ✅ Additional improvements of same section:improved refs, added wiki-links, removed red-links, and rewrote last paragraph. David Condrey   log talk  07:08, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Design and Construction
 * No issues.

(Under standards subsection) "...airports organized themselves under Airport Operators Council, later Airports Council International..."
 * Operations and Management
 * Maybe say "airports organized themselves under the Airport Operators Council, later the Airports Council International..." (Tell me if this sounds weird.)
 * ✅ Rewritten as "In January 1948, 19 representatives from various US commercial airports met for the first time in New York City to seek resolution to common problems they each faced, which initiated the formation of the Airport Operators Council, which later became Airports Council International – North America (ACI-NA). This group included representatives from Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, Miami, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York-Newark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco and Washington."

"Toponyms are one of the commonest source..."
 * Airport names
 * How about "Toponyms are one of the most common source..."
 * ✅ So as to utilize the original naming of the wikilinked article, I rewrote is as "Toponymy is one of the most common sources for the naming of airports"


 * Notable airports
 * No issues.

Source Review

 * No issues, except for maybe ref 14. Are "Subscribe to read the full story..." references ok? fixed it here Didn't know that there was a   parameter. Brandon (MrWooHoo) •  Talk to Brandon!  14:25, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
