Talk:Jorge Chávez

Tone
I understand that objectivity must prevail in an encyclopedia project, but the tone of this article seems suspect.

Example 1: "French-Peruvian aviator. Chávez, who was born to Peruvian parents in Paris, spent his childhood not in Peru, but in Europe."

Example 2: "at the city of Issy, in his native France."

Example 3: "Jorge Chávez also became an icon in Peru, where his fame grew after death. The Jorge Chávez International Airport(LIM/SPIM) in Lima is named after him."

To emphasize his European identity belies the fact that virtually no one in Europe knows who he is, whereas everyone in Peru does. Why would this article be written in this manner?Rafajs77 20:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

The article is "Start" class article and needs a lot more data before it is bought to GA level. --Kalyan 12:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, he did finish it....
As far as I read, he suffered the accident that killed him while trying to land in Italy. He sort of finished it. So the sentence "while attempting the first crossing of the Alps" is not very precise.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.50.93.149 (talk) 06:36, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
