This article was written in British English?

[edit]

That's interesting because I created the article and I'm from Florida in the United States. I did however stand in a Q for the loo while attending a show in London when my wife and I visited there in 2000.- William 19:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that the tag was added by someone who assumed that as the article was about a UK air accident then it would be written in UK English. Thanks for writing it (the article) BTW.
IIRC, the root cause of the accident was blocked drain holes that allowed cleaning fluid from the between-flight toilet compartment floor mopping to accumulate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 20:22, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Errors in punctuation of quotes, other errors

[edit]

I had made edits to this page, regarding the errors in punctuation in the quotes themselves. If the quote is quoting a recording, and there IS a primary source, does that mean we cannot correct the punctuation errors?

Also, there are errors in this article regarding "investigator" vs. "investigators", and my edits were reverted because the original source has errors in the tenses of that word. These are not direct quotes, but my edits were still reverted.
