 * Sorry your first contribution got reverted. Take a look at this guideline for including airliner incidents, which states: "Accidents or incidents should only be included in aircraft articles if:

* The accident was fatal to humans; or       * The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport; or        * The accident or incident resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry."  This goes with the more general aim to include only information notable enough to go on permanent record in an encyclopedia.


 * The other thing is that it is generally better to include references, rather than say, e.g. "CBC News reported that..." It's good that you said where the information came from, but a full reference in a footnote shortens the text and gives more detail of the exact report you are referring to. Here's a link to show how to go about referencing: WP:REFB. Don't worry - most of us have some experience like this while we're learning about Wikipedia! Noyster  (talk),  09:02, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
