 * ... that LOT Flight 16 from New York to Warsaw landed safely after the landing gear failed to deploy?


 * Can we add links to the hook? I'd also suggest stubbing or creating an article on the pilot, Tadeusz Wrona, and adding it here (it would be a two-article DYK nom then). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 21:52, 4 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Proposed Alt hook to incorporate the Tadeusz Wrona DYK:
 * " ... that LOT Flight 16 from New York to Warsaw was landed safely by Tadeusz Wrona, after the landing gear failed to deploy?" Created/expanded  by Ajh1492 (talk), User:Piotrus, User:Volunteer Marek.  Self nom at 17:37, 1 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Or Alt 2:
 * " ... that Tadeusz Wrona, who safely landed LOT Flight 16 from New York to Warsaw after the landing gear failed to deploy, was proclaimed a hero and awarded one of Poland's most prestigious awards?

 * Comment: reviewers of DYK nominations should note that there is currently an active discussion about whether the Tadeusz Wrona (aviator) article should be merged into the article about the flight. See Talk:LOT Polish Airlines Flight 16. Thryduulf (talk) 20:54, 7 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I closed the merger discussion as "no merge", so the article is no longer festooned with that problematic template. Time for a review! --Orlady (talk) 03:21, 7 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I've reviewed the articles for dates, length, and hook fact sources. I "struck out" some items in the hooks that are not supported by the articles and sources. Otherwise the hooks are good. I've not checked for plagiarism issues yet. --Orlady (talk) 06:08, 9 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Checks carried out on the English language sources: I resolved some minor close paraphrasing from one source. I'd recommend a slightly shorter version of ALT2:  Harrias  talk 17:50, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * modified ALT2: ... that Tadeusz Wrona, who safely landed LOT Flight 16 from New York to Warsaw after the landing gear failed to deploy, was awarded one of Poland's most prestigious awards?

A significant portion of the "Aircraft" section (which is unsourced in the article) appears to have been copied from this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:08, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg That information was added after the review. I've currently removed it: it is already covered lightly in the article, and as far as I'm concerned, the addition goes into too much technical detail. Given that, I'm happy to approve the article once more in it's original form, but it needs monitoring in case the information is re-added.  Harrias  talk 00:47, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
