There is some problem with the locals not led by... .
Not led by what?! Loganberry 01:52, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The image Image:RAF Akritori base.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

File:RAF Akrotiri crest.jpg The RAF Akrotiri crest is up for use and I just added into the article, problem is... it doesn't work! Can someone help please!? -- Dave1185 ( talk) 18:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
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 RAF Akrotiri'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.

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 ⚡ 15:59, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
@ Gavbadger Ok, I watched the edit warring over whether it's "RAF" or "Royal Air Force Station" the other day, but do we really need a citation in the title of the infobox? This seems somewhat WP:POINTY and counter to MOS:INFOBOXREF. Isn't there a place in the body where you can place that citation, if you absolutely must do so? – Recoil16 ( talk) 11:35, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
There is a classic misreading of a source today. Doubly bad is that an editor repeats it, although doubtless meant in good faith. ie, Blockks don't passively happen. Someone enforces them. In this case it was the UK government and Rishi Sunak. The source says "Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is reported to have enforced an extraordinary blockade on parliamentary questioning about ... " and MacAskill was told that his question - - 'Is reported as saying' is gossip, not fact, so don't report it as a fact. The MoD refused to answer questions about an ongoing operation. MacAskill's whinging opinion is not relevant to this article. The source is low grade, biased and tabloid standard and should be used with care. I suggest you look at wp:RSS and other useful links. And, read what a source actually says before adding it to back your opinion of what it says. This story has little to do with the topic of this article. It is veering off course into uk domestic politics. Roger 8 Roger ( talk) 13:07, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
