start

[edit]

A nice start. It does read rather more like a formal list of rules than an encyclopedia, however; as if it was copied straight out of the Armed Forces Manual or something. I don't know what could be added or changed to fix this, admittedly, but nevertheless, it is an issue I think. LordAmeth 00:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken what I think are the first steps toward encyclopedic format, but it will be a process. Hopefully, it's a step in the right direction. B.D. 84.166.251.202 12:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SOMEONE needs to ADD KC-10 and KC-135 as planes available for this. Based on my experience with this system of travel, ther are 5 main planes that are the "workhorses" for Space A. C-5, C-17, C-130, KC-10, KC-135. All others are of low frequency and/or low space-a passenger capability.

Addition of Space-A Schedule Feed

[edit]

How does one get Space-A schedules? One way is by calling or visiting each location to obtain their schedule. Another way is to check the Live Schedule Feed that is available from the terminals that publish schedules on their FB Pages such as Live Schedule Feeds.

The "official" site is one method of getting schedules and there is the Space-A Travel Guide (mentioned in Further reading) which provides phone numbers, etc. But adding social media links to the EL section has several problems. 1. the section is already a WP:LINKFARM. 2. the particular pages violate WP:ELNO, and since this is a guideline, the burden to not-"avoid" these links is high. 3. WP:NOTDIRECTORY is another guideline that we must follow. Interested travelers can down-load several different apps to their smartphones. But this discussion is really about one topic -- how to improve Wikipedia. Adding the various links violates the guidelines and thus detracts from the encyclopedic nature of this endeavor.--S.
