Aviation History

kind of self nominated as I did some work (but not much). I like it specially as it takes away the idea of finding the father of aviation (a most disputed title), but show many creator from many countries inventing the airplane.--Alexandre Van de Sande 15:22, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Support. - this is nice. I suspect the writing could be tightened most of the way through, but it's not bad as yet - David Gerard 18:53, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Object. - sources are few and poorly formatted. Neutrality^talk 18:56, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
• Comment - haven't read the whole thing, but the very first sentence makes me pause: Humanity's desire to fly probably dates back to the first time prehistoric man observed birds. is not encyclopedic and is unverifiable. Tuf-Kat 00:34, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
• Object. Agree with the above. First paragraph reads too much like an essay. 2. Needs to be better referenced. I could only see one inline cite to a source. That should also be listed at the end for ease for the reader and much more sources used. - Taxman 04:43, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
• Object Makes use of informal language and at times the prose feels like its attempting to fascinate the reader for the subject. This is a good article, no doubt, but it still needs work. Phils 22:36, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
