Revision as of 14:59, 2 March 2018

Unreferenced material

When the article was split from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the editor who performed the split appears to have removed references from this content that resulted in an error (ie. there was a named reference in the copied text, but the full reference remained in the original article, causing a bold error message in the "References" section). This some of this text unreferenced. I've added references to content in the "Satellite communications and radar" and "International involvement" sections of this article, which were left mostly unreferenced (the latter had no inline citations). However, other sections of this article, from before the October 2014 split, may contain content where the appropriate reference was removed.

I'm just leaving a note behind for future editors of this article who come across unreferenced material in this article to please check the version of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 just prior to the split to see if it did have a reference. The "edit" link doesn't appear next to section headers in the old version of the article, so you will need to click the "edit" tab at the top of the page, find the reference, copy and paste it to the appropriate location in this article. Many references are just named references, with the full citation in the "References" section of that article. For example, you may find <ref name=EXAMPLE> or <ref name="EXAMPLE NAME"> in the prose, while the full citation is in the references section. Just add the named reference to this article and save, then check the "References" section of this article to see if an error ("Cite error: The named reference EXAMPLE was invoked but never defined (see the help page)." in big, bold, red letters) is present. If so, the easy fix is to 1) copy the name of the reference, 2) go back to old revision of the MH370 article (in edit view), and 3) use your browser's search/find function (in most browsers, Control+F) to find the full citation and copy it to the end of the "References" section in this article, before the final two brackets }}. If you need any help, just leave a message here or on my talk page. AHeneen (talk) 19:12, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Removed content

Inaccurate content

The following content has been removed because it is not accurate. While the references are reliable and it appears that the reports were accurate, these vessels never joined the search for some reason.

  • Also contracted for the Malaysian government's effort, Boustead Heavy Industries and iXBlue Australia will supply a remotely operated vehicle that can be used to identify any positive leads detected by the towed sonar vehicles, which will be deployed aboard the MV John Lethbridge.[1][2]
  • Malaysia will contribute four vessels to the effort, including the naval survey ship KD Mutiara and naval vessel Bunga Mas,[3] and the GO Phoenix.

--AHeneen (talk) 00:08, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assets

@AHeneen: I assume the following list of assets was removed just because it was long, not inaccurate? If so, they'd make a great stand-alone list: List of assets involved in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Your thoughts? Fgnievinski (talk) 23:43, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Surface search assets (17 March – 28 April)

Between 17 March and 28 April, military aircraft from eight countries carried out 345 search sorties, for a total of over 2,998 hours of flight time. Aircraft involved in the visual search included:[45]

Chinese PLAAF Ilyushin Il-76 arriving at RAAF Base Pearce in Perth, Australia on 21 March 2014.

Orphaned references in Search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Interim report-March 2015":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:21, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Debris search on the east coast of Africa

Shouldn't a the possible debris section be a debris search section for the search in the zone off the coast of eastern Africa? -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 11:05, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't found any formal search zone off Réunion. They are beach combing, of course. kencf0618 (talk) 05:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It can be changed if a significant search effort is made around Réunion. However, most media report that the search in the area is just beach combing. AHeneen (talk) 18:14, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Underwater locator beacons

If the plane went down in the first week of March, knowing the battery life of the underwater locator beacons, why did it take so long to mount a search. Was this a case of gross incompetence? There is nothing in the article to explain that failure. We learn that there was possible detection in the first 2 weeks of April when the batteries were at the end of there useful life???? It seems to have been a very indolent and bungled effort from the start. Given that the locator beacons were crucial to finding the wreckage, and they needed to rapidly determine the best area to search, there should have been some sense of urgency. What happened? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.21.165.210 (talk) 03:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reports section/list

I have added a "Reports" section plus duplicated those reports listed in the parent Flight 370 article which relate to the search operation, as I felt this information was highly relevant to this article. If there is a better way to do this, or if others disagree, pls advise.

Why no 2017 updates, info, etc.?

Am curious as to why there are no updates for 2017.

At "The Week" website (www.the week.co.uk), there have been three articles posted so far this year --- January 3, January 6, and January 10 --- of which the last one talks about one of the main search vessels going rapidly to a new search area.

Might want to check this out and see if the info there can be used to update this entry. 68.231.71.119 (talk) 16:46, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Image sizes

Right now, my user preference is "400px", and I like to keep it that way. If the size scale is changed, this would affect visual execution for those using "220px" and not signed-in at the moment. However, using the "400px" option, the images would be very big and may affect the readership, especially when the text is pushed so much. The images might need some shrinking. --George Ho (talk) 22:13, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly 'located'?

"Explosive new report virtually pinpoints location of missing flight MH370" here www.news.com.au AUGUST 16, 2017 @ 4:08PM.

"The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has today released an explosive new report that effectively narrows the search zone for the missing plane down to an area half the size of Melbourne. The report places the most likely location of the aircraft “with unprecedented precision and certainty” at 35.6°S, 92.8°E — in between Western Australia and Madagascar."
