[edit]

Regarding on the copyright issue on my article, I don't believe that I had violated the copyright (at least at the time). I didn't copyedit anything at all.. I can assure you on that. However, I should confirm that I read the report chronologically, analysed it, and then concluded it in a short conclusion text. So, i can tell the readers in chronological order.

I analysed that report for hours, read it repeatedly and later concluded it. I published that article after several long days. Had I copyedited, I should've did it in a day or maybe even in hours.

Sadly, it is pretty similar to the report (I can't find a way to differentiate it even more since my English is bad). So, the way I explained the accident was controversial. That's the truth.

I do believe that this is also the best way to explain the cause of the crash or the accident chronologically. I'm an aviation enthusiast and from what I saw from the other articles, they also explain it chronologically and sometimes it bear similarity to the factual report.

So please, give me another chance to see it. Tell me where I did wrong (which parts that were suspected of copyedit) I can assure you that I'll fix it in less than a week.PaPa PaPaRoony

PaPa PaPaRoony, I'm not sure that I follow all you are saying here. However, one thing is certain: the similarity between your text and the text of the report is too great. As an example, if the report reads "The aircraft passed above the glide slope and the pilot selected the VS mode to recapture the slope. The crew’s attention was focussed on managing the flight path in the vertical plane", then you cannot write in Wikipedia "The aircraft passed above the glide slope and the pilot selected the VS mode to recapture the slope. The crew’s attention was focused on managing the flight path in the vertical plane". That is considered WP:copyright violation. Everything you write in Wikipedia must be in your own words. If you don't think your English is good enough to do that here, you you should consider contributing to the Wikipedia in your own language instead.
If you would like to re-write the article, you can do so on this page]. Please do not copy any text from the report there, as that would make the re-write useless. Please let me know, here on this page, if you plan to do that in the next few days – otherwise I will have to reduce the article very substantially.

JustlettersandnumbersAh thank you so much.. I'll do my best to improve it.. work will start in several days PaPa PaPaRoony

I've recently made a new temporary page. I would like an administrator to check it for me. Let me know if there are any mistakes (e.g grammar) or if you need a clarification from me (if there are contents that are suspected of being copy-edited from the original report). Thank you.

While your version was quite good, I ended up doing further amendments and reduced the overlap even more. Sorry for the delay. Thank you, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:52, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Investigation

[edit]

The section on Investigation uses jargon and is not clear for a non-expert Xcia0069 (talk) 20:23, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There really is not much that can be done about this. It is accurate and about as clear as it can be without going into lengthy explanations of how aircraft land. It isn't jargon, you need some technical knowledge to understand it and that can't be helped.--Weasel tango (talk) 06:41, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
