	A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the " Did you know?" column on February 4, 2014. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that 22 people were killed in 1972 when a Canadair Sabre crashed into an ice cream parlour in Sacramento?

Some of the text on the original version of this page is derived from this version of the Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour article. The Rambling Man ( talk) 18:42, 12 January 2014 (UTC) reply

There's some good stuff to help expand the article here at the Sacramento Bee archives. The Rambling Man ( talk) 20:24, 12 January 2014 (UTC) reply

With 22 or 23 dead victims, the word disaster might be better than accident.- Yohananw ( talk) 08:31, 2 June 2018 (UTC) reply

The article already says that an addition death occured after the accident, but it was not officialy caused or was a result of the accident which probably where the 23rd name comes from. MilborneOne ( talk) 09:29, 2 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Just checked "Billie Irwin" was the victim of the road accident and she appears in your list as the "23rd" victim. MilborneOne ( talk) 09:32, 2 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Assuming that not everyone who was present in the ice-cream parlor, on the road, or otherwise in the path of the jet was injured or killed in the crash, how is it that the list of "survivors" includes only the pilot? If I was the single person in the ice cream parlor who escaped unscathed, I'd expect to be on the list of survivors. Are not the people who avoided being hit on the road survivors? Especially the people in the car that was struck, assuming they weren't killed. Actually come to think of it, isn't a list showing "23 injured, 22 killed, 1 survivor" kind of flawed in an elementary way? The injured were all survivors of the disaster, even if you don't want to count the numerous people who escaped death or injury even though they were present. I assume what is meant is that "one person onboard the aircraft survived", but it ought to be made more clear.

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Lee, I will get to these comments but as you can tell, the article wasn't quite as good as I had thought, so there's plenty to do.
