2019 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress crash
editHi,
I see you revdel'ed 2019 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress crash. I was in the middle of reviewing that and believe this is not a copyvio. The text in question closely follows the text of the NTSB report and so would fall under public domain. The text is cited to this site which includes a link to the NTSB report. If you download the report and check the section titled "Probable Cause and Findings", you will see what I mean. Please review and let me know your opinion. Cheers! Whpq (talk) 15:14, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Whpq I thought they were quoting some blog as I didn't see the content in the NTSB report, until i've looked again and found the conclusion in the middle, rather than the end, where I was expecting it. Revision restored. Nthep (talk) 15:27, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Whpq (talk) 19:05, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- This was my error, I was working through Copypatrol while tired and not paying enough attention. Thanks for catching that. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 21:21, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Whpq (talk) 19:05, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
