Semi-protected edit request on 18 April 2024 - Change Triple Seven to 777 (or vice versa) in some places

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

change certain mentions of "Triple Seven" to "777" ex: change "The Triple Seven initially competed with the Airbus A340 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11" to "The 777 initially competed with the Airbus A340 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11" Both 777 and Triple Seven are used in the paragraph mentioned in my example, I feel like it would be better to change all mentions to 777 or Triple Seven for consistency reasons.

Using varied wording can be a good thing to make the wording less repetitive. However I think 777 should be the main choice and I changed one Triple Seven use in the Lead to 777 just now. Regards -Fnlayson (talk) 15:23, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fnlayson, please remember to set the edit request to |answered=yes once you've resolved an edit request. Thanks! --Ferien (talk) 22:11, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm never fully sure if I addressed the request or not. -Fnlayson (talk) 23:29, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

L1011 retirement time...wrong

The article states by the end of the 1980's trijets were reaching retirment age.. the last L1011 was built in 1983 .. theu didnt retire until 2001 100.38.247.36 (talk) 15:09, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per the cited source, by the 1980s the DC-10s and L-1011s were expected to be retired in the 1990s. The wording in the article has been adjusted to match the source. Regards -Fnlayson (talk) 17:11, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: New user Encyclomason (talk · contribs) is working on a draft that duplicates the topic of the § Accidents and incidents section here, at Draft:Accidents and incidents involving the Boeing 777. Perhaps someone here could mentor them, as to best steps forward, in particular, regarding citations, and WP:PAGEDECIDE. Mathglot (talk) 04:19, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
