As you may recall from my previous nomination, Braathens was bought by its larger competitor, Scandinavian Airlines. This is an airline that really liked buying aircraft, resulting in a much longer list. Thankfully, a Swedish gentleman has written a book about all of SAS' aircraft, making research much the more easier. Hopefully the list is to your liking and not too overwhelming.

Comments
  • Add alt text to the images, as per MOS:IMAGES and WP:ALT; it should briefly explain the contents of the images, not duplicate their captions. Alt text is meant for readers who cannot see an image, such as blind readers and readers who use a text or mobile browser.
  • Per MOS:NUM and WP:NBSP, there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 737ng, use 737 ng, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 737 ng
  • Missing a period at the end of "SAS' operations in Norway were under the SAS Braathens brand between 2004 and 2007, here shown on a Boeing 737-600" image caption
  • "Scandinavian Airlines or SAS" how about "Scandinavian Airlines (SAS)"?
  • "previously" you are missing known as, "previously known as"
  • "Headquartered outside Stockholm, Sweden" then where is it exactly then?
  • "main hubs" what are hubs? Could that be explained
  • "through" to "throughout"
  • "A notable naming exception was Huge Viking, used for a Boeing 747." remove notable per WP:NPOV and WP:OR
  • Regarding that same sentence, have "which was used ..." there instead of the last part which is just "used for a Boeing 747"
  • References need to be after a type of punctuation, as per MOS:REFPUNC, as seen as a problem in ref. 16, etc.
    • That guideline states: "The ref tags should immediately follow the text to which the footnote applies, including any punctuation..." Note that this indicates that if there is punctuation, then the tag should follow it. In this case the tag is referencing the first part of the sentence while a distinct reference is verifying a different piece of information and to avoid the reader having to double their verification work it is better to be as specific as possible.

  • Move the first image in livery to the right side, as per MOS:IMAGELOCATION
  • "the current quantity operated as of September 2012" are you sure that it was as of then, or you just say that, as it was September 2012 at the time?
  • Regarding that sentence, it has no reference
  • "Ref(s)" is missing a dot thing at end of it
  • Ref. 18 and 67 both contain WP:DASH problems, it should be an en-dash, not a hyphen, per that
    • The sources use incorrect hyphens, so it is always a dilemma if the source's title should be reproduced verbatim or corrected. I've fixed ref 18, but I honestly don't see the issue in 67. Arsenikk (talk) 18:20, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't use doubled quotes inside reference titles to avoid doubling, as per WP:MOSQUOTE and MOS:QUOTEMARKS. The problem occurs in ref. 26, 62.
  • Instead of saying stuff like "Hall: 51–52" why not say "Hall, pp.51-52" i.e. to avoid confusion, or having people needed clarification for it
  • Any external links?
  • Any portals to add using {{portal box}}, remember to add portals that related very much to this topic/subject
  • Categories should be sorted in alphabetical order
    • Why? Wikipedia:Categorization states "The order in which categories are placed on a page is not governed by any single rule (for example, it does not need to be alphabetical, although partially alphabetical ordering can sometimes be helpful). Normally the most essential, significant categories appear first." Arsenikk (talk) 18:20, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I ran the Citation bot.

Thank your for the comments; they are most appreciated. Arsenikk (talk) 18:20, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Excellent work, as always. While I don't have much experience with FLC-nominations, I wondered if the title correct? Shouldn't it be plural like "List of aircrafts operated by Scandinavian Airlines"? --Mentoz86 (talk) 14:50, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The plural of "aircraft" is "aircraft" (just like coincidentally the plural of fly is fly in Norwegian). Arsenikk (talk) 16:44, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • "newest intercontinental aircraft" I think Intercontinental should be capitalised
  • "SAS Commuter was created in 1984 to operate regional airliners, various models which remained in use until 2010." I don't understand what this sentence is trying to say, a word might be missing?
