National Aviation Academy edit
Hi there, thanks for your work on National Aviation Academy. I've added the refimprove tag back as there are still quite a lot of statements without references. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 20:29, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Please help me figure out where more citations are needed on the National Aviation Academy page. Other than citing their website itself, I am not sure how else to go about it. Also, how do I add their logo image? It says I am not able to...

- Hi there. I'm not up on images, I'm afraid, so will leave someone else to answer that. Re the National Aviation Academy, a key one is probably the date the academy was established. The sentence is "National Aviation Academy (NAA) was founded in 1932 to train Airframe and Powerplant technicians with approval of the Federal Aviation Administration.". So it's a question of Googling or looking in printed sources for a reliable sources that confirms this date. Does that help? Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 16:24, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- A couple of citation examples which may help: Grosvenor Crescent: the first citation after the first sentence is to a Guardian newspaper article online. And National Liberal Club: the first citation here is to a book called The Gentlemen's Clubs of London. leaving help request open for someone else to comment on images Tacyarg (talk) 16:42, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- Accounts need to be 4 days old and made 10 edits before image upload. Then look at some logos (Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Non-free_logo) to see how they are correctly formatted. Ronhjones (Talk) 17:54, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

- The File Upload Wizard is the tool of choice for uploading non-free images. You'll have to explain why the image meets the criteria for non-free content, and you have to make sure that it's low-resolution (no more than 100,000 pixels in total, which should be easy here).
- Regarding the references, I'd say pretty much all of the content needs proper referencing. I checked the current sources; one is about accreditation by the accrediting organization (and says that the accreditation was renewed "with stipulation"; why is that not mentioned in our article?); two others do not mention the National Aviation Academy. I'm not sure whether the last one is independent or written by NAA staff. Wikipedia content should be a summary of what reliable third-party sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines have reported about a subject. If we instead rely on what a subject wants to be said about itself, we're not writing an encyclopedia article but an advertisement. With statements such as "offers seven unique certifications built around the industry’s need for specialized avionics technicians with detailed knowledge of the wiring", "geared towards the future demands of the aviation marketplace" and so on, to me it seems that's pretty much what has happened here.
