Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was move. Talk:Dragonair (airline) — Dragonair (airline) → Dragonair – Previously article was at Dragonair until it was made into a disambig today between Dragonair (airline) and Dragonair (Pokémon). I have since moved the disambig to Dragonair (disambiguation) and made Dragonair into a redirect to Dragonair (airline). The airline is by far the majot use of this term (e.g. try a Google search) and should be at Dragonair.

Please do not classify Taipei and Kaohsiung under "Taiwan, Province of China," but "Taiwan (Republic of China)." Ernestnywang 02:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Dragonair/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Comments:

1. In sentence "In January 1987, the airline announced the order of two long-range McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft, however, due to strong opposition by Cathay Pacific, it was not able to gain the scheduled routes it needed to compete effectively.", the comma after aircraft should be a semicolon. Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 16:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
2. "to join International Air Transport Association (IATA).": "the" should be added after join. Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 16:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
3. The sentence "Dragonair was the first local competitor for Hong Kong's largest airline, Cathay Pacific, in forty years and since its inception, Cathay Pacific fought vigorously to block the airline's flight-slot applications, and after heated hearing before Hong Kong's Air Transport Licensing Authority, the Hong Kong Government adopted a one route-one airline policy, which lasted until 2001." needs to be split into two. Splitted sentence at '...flight-slot applications. After heated...' Aviator006 (talk) 16:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
4. Citation needed for quote "Our arrival on the scene was not hailed very enthusiastically by the then Hong Kong government...we got a lot of opposition from Cathay (Pacific)." Citation added. Aviator006 (talk) 03:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
5. "there are a total of six A320 aircraft.": "are" should be "were". Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 16:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
6. In sentence "A Hong Kong newspaper reported that Swire Pacific was in advanced negotiations that would see Cathay Pacific takes over Dragonair.", "takes" should be "taking". Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 16:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
7. The sentence "As of 2009 most of the expansion plans have been terminated, with the Bangkok and Tokyo services have ceased, the anticipated Sydney and Seoul services and the United States expansion cancelled." sounds awkward. Rearranged and written as 'By 2009, services to Bangkok and Tokyo; and the expansion plans to introduce services to Sydney, Seoul and the United States have been cancelled and terminated.' Aviator006 (talk) 03:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
8. The sentence "In 2009, the airline announced new services to Guangzhou, with a twice-daily service from 14 September; and a new arrangement for services to Dhaka and Kathmandu from 1 October, with the two non-stop flights combined into a direct flight." sounds wordy and awkward. Splitted and written as 'In 2009, the airline announced new services to Guangzhou, with a twice-daily service from 14 September. In addition, a new arrangement for services to Dhaka and Katmandu will be introduced from 1 October, with the two non-stop flights combined into a direct flight.' Aviator006 (talk) 03:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
9. "All Dragonair's aircraft": "of" should be added after "All". Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 16:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
10. Citation needed for Livery section. Citation added. Aviator006 (talk) 03:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
11. File:CX Marco Polo Logo.png does not have a fair use rationale for the Dragonair article. Updated to include Dragonair. Aviator006 (talk) 03:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
12. "10 kg" and any other metric units in the Loyalty Programmes section should have appropriate conversions into English units. Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 17:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
13. File:AsiaMiles Logo.png does not have a fair use rationale for the Dragonair article. Updated to include Dragonair. Aviator006 (talk) 03:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
14. In sentence "Asia Miles membership is free, however, membership will be suspended after 36 months of inactivity, and can be closed without notice, once all remaining mileage credits have expired.", the comma after "free" should be a semicolon. Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 17:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I am placing the article on hold. Dough4872 (talk) 16:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I will pass the article. Dough4872 (talk) 16:12, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Dragonair fleet

Article says 32 planes, but the table adds up to 34. Can someone clarify please? Thanks. Mrgate3 (talk) 19:00, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

I have verified the table with the reference and all the numbers are correct. The total should say 34 instead of 32. I guess someone must have updated the number of a particular aircraft in the table but forgot to update the totals. I have corrected this mistake. —Compdude¹²³ 22:26, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Denie Boarding

So. On the day of 10th February i have flight from berlin to auckland. And i passed two airports. 1- berlin, germany 2-doha hamad So when i reached there to get boarding pass from hongkong to auckland and your team denied to give that. They gave me 3 different reasons. 1- your visa has been cancelled 2-your a entry has been denied from nz immigration 3- your entry denied from nz border security force 4- your entry has been denied from hong kong immigration team 5-now they sent me an email that your entry had been denied from us because you have improper documents. But i have all the valid documents 1-valid passport 2- valid Nz and berlin , germany visa 3-valid plane tickets 4- all the documents from my university and my jobs and my home country i have that

   They forced me to go back as soon possible to next flight They didn’t gave me a singl valid reason
     
  I called to nz immigration about my visa status they said everything is fine with your visa  ot still valid until 22nd of may 2024  
    Your airline teams harassed me without any kind of reasons  i feel very very bad  i was crying from the last some of days. I paid lot of money on my trip  1500 euros for tickts 700 dollor for hotels 500 dollar for car rental  tickts for sky tower and so on……..
still I don’t get any right reasons  i feel very bad that i choose your airline   They didn’t even offer me a singl glass of water

GA concerns

After reviewing this article, I am concerned that it no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

• There is a lot of uncited text, including entire paragraphs.
• There is an orange "more sources needed" banner from May 2024 that needs to be resolved.
• The "Demise" section needs additional information.

Is anyone interested in addressing these issues? If not, should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
