  • ... that Fresno Yosemite International Airport (pictured) has a replica sequoia forest inside the terminal, reflecting the airport's role as a gateway to three national parks? Source: "Strolling through the airport’s new, life-size, replica sequoia forest, passengers are delighted and fascinated by the giant trees that seem to be supporting the roof of the terminal." "the Airport wanted to take the opportunity to improve its image, by representing itself as the gateway to the ... national parks." (link)

  • Full review to follow, but I can see some typos in the article. For example: "it was already clear that small runway at Chandler". In addition, some of the routes and destinations in the destination section are unreferenced. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:19, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
The "Airlines and destinations" section is still mostly unsourced. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:06, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
  • @Narutolovehinata5: Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Citations for the “Airlines and destinations” section is an issue for nearly all airport pages on Wikipedia. There is an extensive discussion at WT:AIRPORTS but the TL;DR is that this page is compliant with the current, flawed rules for citations. That said, I can see if there are any more citations I can add, it just won’t be completely cited. --RickyCourtney (talk) 16:07, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
@RickyCourtney: Could you link to the discussion regarding that? Just so I can understand the situation. I'll do the full review afterwards. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:32, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
  • According to the discussions, such sections must be referenced; as such, I can't continue with this nomination unless that is fixed. The new discussion is still ongoing so for now let's stick to the current consensus. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:57, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
  • Article was promoted to GA status in the required time frame. Images are appropriately licensed, and the article is stable. The hook is interesting and verified in the article. No copyright infringement or close paraphrasing was detected. QPQ provided. There are still other sourcing issues remaining in the article that needs to be resolved though: the statement "SkyWest also uses Fresno as a crew base for pilots and flight attendants" lacks a citation. The "Annual passenger traffic" section has three citation needed templates. The "Highways" section lacks references as well. Once these are resolved this will be approved.

  • @Narutolovehinata5: Okay, the SkyWest base has been cited, the uncited passenger traffic has been removed (also removed in GA1 and added back by another editor), and citations have been added for the highways section. --RickyCourtney (talk) 15:36, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
No problems left so this should be good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:32, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
