Atlanta, Georgia, United States

If we're going to say that Delta is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, shouldn't we do the same for the other major US airlines? The articles for United, American, US Airways, and Southwest mention the city and state that they are headquartered in, but not the country. Anyway, if someone could explain to me the reason why it's necessary to state that the headquarters of an American airline is in the United States, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Clarity, as there is another Georgia, and we shouldn't assume readers will automatically know the difference. I don't watchlist the other articles you mentioned, so uniformity with them isn't an issue with me. Are you also making sure that the articles are uniform in locations and numbers of pics, etc.? Or that the articles are approximately the same length? Do the Leads in these articles have the same word count? - BilCat (talk) 04:49, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

I apologize if I came across as rude and pretentious. I didn't think about the fact that there is another Georgia. You're right; we should mention the country because of the possibility for confusion. I'm sorry for my inconsiderate tone. AmericanLemming (talk) 04:54, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

It's OK, and excuse me if I layed the sarcasm on too thick in my reply. - BilCat (talk) 05:13, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

LAX hub

Should we now list LAX as a Delta hub according to this article (http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2013/03/07/los-angeles-a-new-hub-for-delta-air-lines/1970347/). Delta actually lists their hubs in their press releases (if anyone can check a recent Delta press release you can see they have not added LAX as a hub; the airline actually removed Memphis as a hub as it was closed on September 2, 2013). Any comments would be appreciated. 68.119.73.36 (talk) 07:43, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

No. We only go by what Delta lists as hubs. - BilCat (talk) 08:07, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Especially when Delta does list hubs as a regular practice. HkCaGu (talk) 08:12, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
disagree with my fellow chaps. commom sense serves as a better guide. --71.135.163.123 (talk) 06:19, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Common sense isn't a reliable source. - BilCat (talk) 23:53, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. --71.135.163.123 (talk) 18:13, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Location of Delta headquarters

Someone on this forum thread http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5950785/ stated that Google Maps shows Delta HQ as being in Hapeville, Georgia. I found that Google Maps does show the HQ as being in Hapeville.

So here are the Hapeville maps:

As you can see there is a chunk that is below the C-2 land. That is where the Delta HQ is.

So, the City of Atlanta maps show that chunk as being in the Atlanta city limits

In this case Google Maps is wrong. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:25, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
