Conflict with neighbors edit

Need a section about conflict with neighbors and interactions with Town of Stow. Also, almost all of the article is a list of planes and vehicles. Maybe needs less of that and more on the origin and mission of the Foundation. David notMD (talk) 01:32, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Pay of the Executive Director edit

I just fixed the citation for the pay of the Executive Director, and I'm curious about the information's relevance. I understand that it was a large increase from years past, but is it necessary to include? Balon Greyjoy (talk) 15:45, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

how to handle the crash edit

Any thoughts? I have noticed that ALL other sites that have had a fatal crash, do NOT list them out. I understand we want to pay respect to those that were lost, for good reason.,. but perhaps this page is not it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.112.87.220 (talk) 01:32, 4 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

The crash of the Collings Foundation's B-17G is a relevant part of the Collings Foundation's history. In the same manner that airport articles have "accident and incident" sections. See for example Logan International Airport#Accidents and incidents and Bradley International Airport#Accidents and incidents. Note that the Collings Foundation page is not a "list of aircraft currently operated by", it's a general page about the Collings Foundation and it's history, which is why the B-17G they operated for 20+ years is/was being listed as a "previously operated aircraft". If you are the editor who keeps deleting that entry, please stop doing that. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 01:42, 4 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
@203.112.87.220: it's good that you've raised this here. Less good is that you are now firmly into edit war territory. I've semi-protected the article for a week. This means you won't be able to remove the section again and get blocked for doing so. I agree with Dmoore5556, the aircraft has been part of the Collings Foundation for a very long time, and is part of the foundation's history. It is right that we cover it.

I think details found here on the Collings Foundation's negligence should be mentioned in this article to maintain WP:NPOV. Xxavyer (talk) 03:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
