I've never heard of this vehicle, before. What source does it come from? --PowerBall 19:06, 26 May 2012 (CEST)

The Games Workshop website - http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440160a&prodId=prod1600096a The Lemur 19:18, 26 May 2012 (CEST)

Footnotes

This article is completely missing footnotes! --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 12:08, 29 May 2012 (CEST)

AND it's a copy&paste of the GW product description. (see link)
AND it's only airborne, so it shouldn't be in the fleet-category. --DetlefK 16:36, 29 May 2012 (CEST)

The article is taken from one source, why have specific footnotes to state that individual paragraphs are from the same source? If further info is added from another source, then that editor can make a point of seperating the info - their info will be marked with source "2" and all the other info will be source "1". Why create problems where none exist? The Lemur 23:08, 29 May 2012 (CEST)

@Detlef - it was a very literal copy/paste of the GW site - thats why it was marked "WIP". I had thought other users had since changed the text, if not - why not make brief edit your self? Other people have made the effort to create the page, upload pics etc. rather than just criticise on the talk page, the same time could be spent to actually be productive and ammend the article.

Fair point, but you removed your WIP-tag while it was still a copy. And it's established policy (though not written) to delete new articles without footnotes, rather than correct them. --DetlefK 13:02, 30 May 2012 (CEST)
I already changed the text so it's no longer copy-pasta, though since there wasn't much to work with I couldn't change it up all that much.--Harriticus 17:18, 30 May 2012 (CEST)
Exactly - the text was changed, so I removed the WIP tag. Im not sure what the complaint is about Detlef - this is a Wiki, the whole point is that we contribute together to improve the project as a whole, not to sit on the sidelines and snipe at people (especially as it seems that the basis for your complaint was incorrect).The Lemur 21:29, 31 May 2012 (CEST)
I have to admit, part of the fault lies with me. I could have overhauled the article myself and the discussion had ended before it began. It was mainly a reflex on my part, waiting for the original contributor to correct the article. --DetlefK 23:58, 31 May 2012 (CEST)
