Talk:Vancouver International Airport

Improvement fee
The statement on the airport improvement fee states that it's included in the price of a ticket, didn't Transport Canada explicitly state they didn't want to do that, which was why the fee had to be payed seperately? Sparky-sama (talk) 10:58, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they didn't want to, but this is indeed how the fee is currently set up. See http://www.yvr.ca/authority/whoweare/aif.asp . --Ktims (talk) 03:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The airlines didn't want the improvement fee on their tickets. That is why the airport had the AIF vending machines.  Eventually the fee was blended into the ticket. Source: I worked there.AvHistoryGuy (talk) 22:26, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Definition of Downtown
You should either clarify what is meant by "downtown", or choose some other term, for the benefit of non-North Americans. Someone did explain it to me once, and how it related to the build up of block structured settements with numbered streets, but that isn't part of any wider context for other people. PML.

Do you have any suggestions? I am from North America, and "Downtown" is what I know. I don't just want to change it to something that is explicitly not "downtown". -matt

I can't even recall just what it is that is distinctive about "downtown". Here in Australia the term CBD is used as an abbreviation for the more self-explanatory "Central Business District", but that doesn't apply to places smaller than cities (by our standards), and it might not even mean downtown anyway. I'm hoping for a phrase as widely understood as "red light district", though clearly that's not what downtown is. Failing that, a rephrasing that says something about Vancouver, e.g. "... miles from the centre of Vancouver". But you already have that particular approach. PML.

Central Business District would not bother us in Canada, it just seems a bit strange. I'm thinking along the lines of "... miles from central Vancouver, where the business and financial districts reside." -matt

Ok, its switched. I decided to just clarify what was meant by "downtown". Thanks for the constructive criticism. -matt

U.S. customs info
I removed the following about customs clearances being done for US travel in Canada and therefore the flight is treated as domestic in the US:

 * The same also applies if you're traveling from the following Canadian airports:

 * Halifax International Airport
 * Pierre Trudeau International Airport in Montreal
 * Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport in Ottawa
 * Lester Pearson International Airport in Toronto
 * Winnipeg International Airport
 * Calgary International Airport
 * Edmonton International Airport

I don't see how it is relevant to YVR that customs clearance to US is done the same way in all of the major airports in Canada (and actually I believe the true list would be even longer). -- Webgeer 00:37, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

9/11
I think the vancouver airport on 9/11 image should be removed. It doesnt fit well with the layout, is copyrighted, and the image isn't particularly special either. If it were a bird's eye view showing numerous aircrafts then that would be worth adding to the page otherwise the image looks like any typical busy airport. sikander July 8, 2005 21:55 (UTC)

 * I think the 9/11 image shouldn't be removed, sikander. You must understand that Vancouver International on 9/11 had no other choice but to be part of Operation Yellow Ribbon because it was the only major Canadian airport on the West Coast that could handle large aircraft used for trans-Pacific flights. User:SNIyer12(talk) July 27, 2005 13:34 (UTC)

 * Yes I understand that it was the only major airport but I was talking about the image itself. Gander Airport is a good image as you can clearly see that something unusual is happening. However, the vancouver image just looks like any busy airport with a bunch of planes lined up for take-off. Anyhow, just my thoughts. sikander 14:02, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

 * I disagree on the fact that the Vancouver image looks like any busy airport with a bunch of planes lined up for take-off. The image was the scene at YVR on September 11, 2001 as aircraft were lined up on the runway waiting for a security sweep by the RCMP. I also saw the image published in the article, "International Flights Diverted to Canada," in the September 12, 2001 edition of The Washington Post. Global also broadcast the scene at YVR as flights were diverted there following the attacks. SNIyer12 16:04, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with sikander that the image should be removed; not only is its value in illustrating 9/11 dubious, it has that horrendous watermark across the middle and is almost certainly not fair-use (it should probably be deleted as a copyvio). -Lommer | talk 17:28, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I have removed the image. - SNIyer12 21:04, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I've now nominated the image for deletion (see WP:IFD). -Lommer | talk 18:56, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Lommer, I'm going to remove the image and try to get the image from Global TV on the scene at YVR on 9/11. The image you nominated for deletion is the only one I could get about the scene at YVR on 9/11. SNIyer12, 19:13, 29 Jul 2005 (UTC)

 * Sounds good. -Lommer | talk 21:48, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

I added information about YVR being part of Operation Yellow Ribbon. It is important to understand that YVR is the only major Canadian airport on the West Coast that could handle aircraft used for trans-Pacific flights. Also, please do not remove information that YVR received more passengers than any other Canadian airport involved in the operation. No other Canadian airport received more than 8,000 passengers. The only airport to receive 8,000 passengers was Vancouver International. In fact, 8,500 landed at Vancouver International on 9/11. - SNIyer12, 00:05, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Nice to see that you found a copy of that Global screenshot — any chance of finding a higher quality version? That one looks like a tv screen that was photographed, not a direct capture from the video feed. -Lommer | talk 01:34, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I could not get a higher quality version. I couldn't get a direct capture from a video feed because Global doesn't have it on their web site. - SNIyer12 | talk 15:28, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

I see that the 911 image has popped up again on the page. Okay fine.. leave it there. I still think its a bad quality image and doesnt need to be on the front page of an airport. the text is more than enough but apparently you really want the image there because it has gone off and on the page many times. since i started this discussion i'll end it now.. at least you won't hear anymore from me about it. sikander 15:10, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree that it should be removed; it's not a good picture and it doesn't show anything special; if it had been taken on any other day, we'd have no idea that it wasn't taken on 9/11. Nothing noteworthy about it.  Additionally, it doesn't seem like a valid "fair use" from a licensing standpoint.  The image should be deleted. —Cleared as filed. 21:13, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't agree about having it removed. The 9/11 image was from Global's broadcast on September 11, 2001. SNIyer12 15:11, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * But it doesn't matter. The picture is of poor quality, and it doesn't show anything noteworthy.  A bunch of planes lining up on a taxiway happens at busy international airports every day.  Just because it was taken on 9/11/01 doesn't mean anything if it doesn't show something relevant.  But as you've removed it, I'll stop harping on it.  —Cleared as filed. 15:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

FBOs section
User:AlbertR recently reverted and edit of mine for a section describing the Fixed base operators at YVR. I've readded that section, and to avoid an edit war thought I'd explain myself here. Two criticisms were given, which I'll address in order: I believe FBO data is important because many charter aircraft, all private jets, and all small planes stage out of FBOs. It's not only important to know which companies operate at an airport, its also important to know what services they provide. Some companies, like GlobeGround, RP, and JetEagle are totally transparent to passengers while others like Shell, Esso, and Chevron are very visible to those that use their services. Information regarding available services is critical to pilots for flight planning, and thats why it's included impartially in the Canada Flight Supplement. In all, just because these companies and their operations aren't visible to travellers that move through a terminal doesn't mean they're not important or deserving of mention. So, I say leave them in. If you have input on how to make them sound less like an ad, I welcome it. -Lommer | talk 02:15, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) a section on FBOs is not seen in other wikipedia airport articles. I would say that is more a problem with every other article than with this one. Actually, I'd like to see FBO data become standard in wikipedia articles because I think it's important (more below).
 * 2) it reads like an ad. I agree that this may be true, but I do not immediately see a way to rectify that. The important material is the services they offer, and I've tried to be NPOV by not adding prices (which isn't encyclopaedic at all) and by adding every FBO at the airport. I also debated adding UNICOM frequencies, but decided this was similar to including phone numbers, and therefore inappropriate for an encyclopaedia.

 * I'm not going to waste my time removing the section again (and risk a 3RR block). I did change "lav" to "lavatory" so it doesn't seem to read like pilot jargon. I was probably a bit hasty (I'm a deletionist) to remove it, though. Alr 02:55, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

I've posted a note on this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports, so hopefully we'll get some other editors in here with their opinions. If the section is removed again, I will not repost it BTW (not so much for fear of a 3RR block as because I hate edit wars). -Lommer | talk 01:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

I've removed the extra details. Pilots, who are most likely the only folks who would be interested in those details, aren't going to be coming to Wikipedia to get it. I've also mentioned at the top of the section that the FBOs serve general aviation, which I think is the thing that most people probably don't know about FBOs. —Cleared as filed. 01:42, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * I like the latest edit, but I just realized there's one problem: Jet Eagle, RP, and GlobeGround don't service GA, they service scheduled airlines (RP and Jet eagle do the south terminal, and globeground does the north side for all airlines that don't have their own facilities). -Lommer | talk 01:51, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Huh. Are they considered FBOs if they only service airlines?  I didn't know that was the case.  Hmmm, you know, that almost makes me rethink the FBOs being here again.  Maybe, instead, a detailed explanation of how the behind-the-scenes stuff works should be under the airport article, since this kind of stuff applies to all airports.  Seems to me that someone interested in the details of how airports work, as opposed to the history/details of this particular airport, would go to the airport article.  —Cleared as filed. 01:57, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I'm almost certain they're still FBOs; that also made me consider something else: there are non-sched "airlines" that operate small jets out of FBOs on the south side, how do we differentiate between them and the big guys? Note that these small ones are actually airlines offering public service, as opposed to private jets. Anyways, I agree that the info on FBOs and behind-the-scenes operations should be greatly expanded in airport and fixed base operator, but I wanted a space to provide some local details for each airport. -Lommer | talk 02:26, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Just to clarify my last comment/response to your question, I think the only difference is that some FBOs have fixed buildings that operate as "mini-terminals", while others do not. Also keep in mind that those with "mini-terminals" also sometimes service airlines as well (e.g. shell does fuel for the Purolator and FedEx heavies on the north side, despite being an otherwise traditional FBO. Also, Esso fuels Voyageur Airlines from the South Terminal). So yeah, the line isn't as definite as we might like it to be. -Lommer | talk 02:30, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I see what you're trying to do, but I still just think that the only people who would be interested in specifically what FBOs are at an airport, wouldn't be using Wikipedia to find out. But if you disagree I won't stand in your way.  Perhaps it's something that should be decided on the Projects page, though, since a decision one way or another will have an impact on a lot of airport pages. —Cleared as filed. 05:17, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Operation Yellow Ribbon
I'v reduced the content under the Operation Yellow Ribbon section. There is a main article for the event anyways so I've linked that. Removed the tv screenshot as it wasn't serving any purpose and was pretty bad quality. Also added reference for the airport winning the Management Award. sikander 04:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Airbus A380
Airbus A380 is to make a test flight to YVR during this month. I thought this information might be interesting to add in the article. YVR is also the first North American international airport that the JumboJet A380 is visiting. http://seattlepi.com/business/290663_airbus01.html FlyAirCanada 15:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Rapid Transit

Air Pacific
Does Air Pacific depart from the international terminal or the transborder terminal? Since there are 2 daily flights to Honolulu (which is a US destination) and to Nadi (which is not a US destination). I know Cathay Pacific and Phillippines Airlines have flights to Las Vegas and New York-JFK but they are not listed under "transborder terminal". Cashier freak (talk) 00:10, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Air Pacific, Phillippines, and Cathay Pacific flights fly from international terminals because they are classifyed as international airlines with original destination to vancouver from overseas. Hence, in the situation of Cathay Pacific, original flights are from Hong Kong to New York via. Vancouver, however, these flights are not classified as a stoppover destination because of the sheer volume and time designated to the amount of people travelling between these cities. --kasperone (talk) 17:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

So, Air Pacific should not be under the "transborder terminal" section. It should go under the "international terminal" section of the article. So, my last edit was correct and I noted that flights to Honolulu uses the non-U.S. gates. I am not sure who put Air Pacific in the transborder side but it not go there. I put it back under the "international terminal" section. Cashier freak (talk) 01:00, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

History
This page needs a lot more research. Facts I know: old RCAF base, Boeing Canada had a factory here during WW2 and before, Stanley Burke (Prez of Boeing) built social housing now called Burkeville, Vancouver International Airport not even in Vancouver but the City of Richmond, original 3rd runway expansion planned in 1970s (which already included completed expropriations) was stopped, lengthy environmental hearings in early 90s and the then controversial 3rd runway built, termianl expansion of 1968 and the new terminal of 1996, 1972 hijacker diverted the aircraft to Vancouver (Eastern Airlines DC8 I think), expansion of the original terminal (south side) and the burning of the original (1970s), first ever TCA flight in the 1930s connecting Vancouver to Seattle Accidents besides the one stated: Canadian Airlines DC10 over-ran Rwy 26 in aborted take-off roughly 1992-95, DC3 crashes across the river in construction site, Airbus A320 crashes into a Canadian Airlines building (within a week of the DC10 incident), Wagalisa Air crashes short of Rwy 12 (either 1987 or 1988) Other highlights: royalty using airport and Air Force 1 during a major summit —Preceding unsigned comment added by AvHistoryGuy (talk • contribs) 22:54, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Northwest YVR-MEM
Just to let you know that this route is served only during the summer seasons and the route operates on Saturdays. Verified using nwa.com for the month of June. Cashier freak (talk) 23:00, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Number of Terminals
The main page should show FOUR terminals, but not the four listed. They should be the domestic, international terminal building, south terminal and float plane terminal. The international terminal has two sides, but the airport clearly labels it as a single building http://yvr.ca/pdf/guide/terminal_map.pdf. The south terminal and float plane terminal are distinct buildings, and hence the south terminal section should be split. 24.86.105.157 (talk) 03:53, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

You are correct. The terminology "transborder" is used internally by staff. International and Domestic are the only signage in the terminal buildings. Suggest that the list should be changed as International/Domestic/Transborder -> Main. Leave South as is. Besides, the roads to the airport terminal buildings are labeled at Main and South.

Charter?
Should there really be a charter section? The meaning of a charter is basically flights that are operated and sold strictly by tour operators, not by the airlines. Most of the airlines - Air Transat, Condor, Edelweiss, Sunwing, and Thomas Cook - all sell seats on their flights directly to the public, and not wholly through tour operators, as a charter flight would be. 24.81.90.64 (talk) 00:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, I think the distinction should probably be 'public charter' or 'regularly scheduled charter'. Companies that operate an ad-hoc for a specific customer only, really shouldn't be listed here76.77.75.72 (talk) 16:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Gateway
"Several major airlines are currently negotiating for landing rights at YVR with the Canadaian Ministry of Transport. If given these rights, YVR stands to become an even more important North American gateway to all continents."

This sites no sources, is general. Should this be removed? YYC T Dawg (talk) 20:45, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm no expert, but I would remove it, cite the reason, and assume that anyone who cared about the edit will see it and replace it with a sourced statement Alejandro Erickson (talk) 06:53, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Future expansion
A nine-gate international terminal expansion has been done in two phases ($420 million; Phase 1 which was completed in 2007; Phase 2 was completed in 2009). The first phase saw four new gates with two conventional wide-bodied gates and two able to accommodate the Airbus A380. The international terminal addition has several examples of beauty in British Columbia, including a stream in a pathway and fish and jellyfish tanks (completed). Phase 2 added five additional gates and is completed. Should this be moved to the Termianl section or deleted as it does not fit any definition of future?YYC T Dawg (talk) 20:49, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Commonly called YVR?
Whenever I hear someone call Vancouver's airport "YVR" it seems a bit odd. The letters YVR seem rather random. In fact I had to make sure I had the right letters when typing this section's title just now (I only just discovered that all Canadian airport codes begin with Y). People do generally call it YVR, don't they? I see there's a "YVR–Airport" rail station. I came to read this page to see if YVR really was the common name and was slightly surprised to find no mention of it--other than the actual use of YVR as the name on the page. I tried to think of other airports known by their IATA letters. I came up with three: LAX, DFW, and PDX. Unlike YVR, these three all have code letters that make sense, more or less; PDX not quite as much. Their Wikipedia pages all point out their being commonly called by their code letters. I suppose there's also JFK, but people don't call it JFK because that's its IATA code! The Denver airport is commonly called DIA, but its code name is DEN. I knew the Toronto airport was YYZ, but only because of that song. Doesn't looks like people commonly call the airport YYZ. Anyway, all this just to say, hey, it's normal to say things like "I'm flying out of YVR tomorrow"? Really? How weird. I understand now that the Y is because it's in Canada, but I didn't ten minutes ago. The V for Vancouver? The R...? Pfly (talk) 07:16, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, people who use the airport regularly call it YVR (in spoken english) and there are signs and brands around the city that call it YVR. I don't have a source for this, however Alejandro Erickson (talk) 06:52, 25 September 2010 (UTC) It is definitely locally known as YVR, much shorter than saying Vancouver International Airport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.132.8.192 (talk) 20:44, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

China Southern Possible Cancellation
According to some sources China Southern has appeared to cancel its upcoming service to Vancouver. The claim for this is that the GDS inventory display has been zeroed out. This, however, by itself does not necessarily mean that a route has been cancelled, but may be a temporary change, and incorrect update, or the route may still be waiting final regulatory approval, etc. As such, and until further confirmation by the airline/airport is forth coming, I believe it is best to keep the entry on here for the mean time. Note that the source I've quoted also only says it has appeared to cancel service, and in regards to policy, WP:V and WP:OR, without a reliable source, we should revert to China Southern's official stance, which, as of now do to no word to the contrary, is that this service is still scheduled to begin as announced. Ravendrop 08:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I would remove it and then readd it if CZ decides to reinstate it. For now, Vancouver is not bookable at the moment. When it reappears again, then we can add it. Snoozlepet (talk) 17:31, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Skytrax Info
Objecting to the blanket removal of Skytrax info. In this case I think it is relevant because it is more than a random rating; it is an award one by the airport that is reported on by a much wider section of the media. Posted this on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines page. As I mentioned there I'm open to moving it somewhere else in the article than the lead, if that becomes a consensus move.

Hub for Air China?
Source provided states that Vancouver is a hub for Air China. How can it be a hub when it has flights to Beijing only? It may be a hub as a result of codeshare with Air Canada (both being Star Alliance members). Citydude1017 (talk) 23:28, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Try going to this page: http://ca.fltmaps.com/EN/US? (linked from airchina.us) Suddenly LAX/SFO/JFK are hubs! What can we learn from this? These pages linked from Air China's country-specific websites are unauthoritative! HkCaGu (talk) 04:39, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If this is the same for all the other country-specific websites, then we might as well list all the major cities as Air China's hubs. Citydude1017 (talk) 05:45, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Ideas for history
Any ideas about expanding the history section? YVR used to be a hub for CP Air. Later, there were codeshares between American Airlines and Canadian Airlines International. This was an attempt by American to build transpacific traffic but it never generated as much traffic as American had hoped. Vanguard10 (talk) 06:19, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Hub for WestJet
WestJet has a greater presence in Western Canada, period. There are more flights within the west, including other focus cities, such as Edmonton and Winnipeg. I am not sure it qualifies as a hub. WestJet has never called it that. The 767 aircraft fly from YYC and YYZ, the hubs in the west and east and between each other and not YVR, except in summer where the 767s fly from other airports. Otherwise it has no unique flights from WestJet except year round Hawaii and Orange County. Hawaii is only year round from YVR because the 737s can't reach HNL or OGG from YYC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.233.194 (talk) 01:32, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Vancouver International Water Airport
The "Vancouver International Water Airport" is Vancouver International Airport's seaplane terminal. The main YVR article already mentions it at Vancouver International Airport and the main list of passenger destinations includes seaplane destinations. Since most of this information is being duplicated it makes sense to merge the article. Madg2011 (talk) 01:43, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Opposed. There may be a degree of duplicated information but this is classified by Nav Canada as a separate facility with its own LID. And it is indeed separate. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:49, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the seaplane destinations/other information be removed from this article then? Madg2011 (talk) 03:48, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Support. The seaplane facilities have no unique IATA code, meaning it is not a separate airport for commercial aviation. More importantly, it has no unique ICAO code, so by international aviation law, it's not a unique airport. A separate LID doesn't make an airport. LID's are waypoints related to navigation. Because landing on water is different from landing on a runway, different navigational data are needed. Doesn't make it a separate airport. They should be merged. oknazevad (talk) 18:59, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Can you provide a citation for "it has no unique ICAO code, so by international aviation law, it's not a unique airport"? Nav Canada says that it is a separate certifed airport (rather than a registered aerodrome) and is listed as such in the Water Aerodrome Supplement and the entry for the land based airport in the Canada Flight Supplement has no mention of any water based operations and not included in the diagram. Your description does not seem to mesh with Location identifier (the sections on the FAA and Canada). While a LID may refer to a location other than an airport it can indeed refer to an airport. The idea that not having a ICAO means it isn't a unique airport is odd because that means that a lot of airports on Wikipedia will need merging into something else. Such as Meadowbank Aerodrome which has flights but no ICAO or IATA code. Look at List of Canadian airports by location indicator: CA. Are these all supposed to be merged as they have no ICAO codes, although some have IATA codes. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 00:03, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

 * I possess no technical appreciation on the matter, but have been a resident of this area for decades. I have always considered that the floatplane operation has an identity distinct from the YVR land-based main and south terminals. Is Vancouver International Water Airport its proper name? I tend to think of it as the Middle Arm Floatplane Terminal.DMBanks1 (talk) 17:55, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

I support the merge because the floatplane terminal is a terminal of YVR, and few residents view it as a separate airport. Just because it is a classified as a separate facility doesn't mean it's actually is separate. It's so close it can't be separate, and unless I've gotten it all wrong, YVR's website lists it as Airport South Terminal Zacharycmango (talk) 00:32, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

The Call of Cthulhu

"The Call of Cthulhu" is a short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales in February 1928.

Inspiration
The first seed of the story's first chapter The Horror in Clay came from one of Lovecraft's own dreams he had in 1919, which he described briefly in two different letters sent to his friend Rheinhart Kleiner on May 21 and December 14, 1920. In the dream, Lovecraft is visiting an antiquity museum in Providence, attempting to convince the aged curator there to buy an odd bas-relief Lovecraft himself had sculpted. The curator initially scoffs at him for trying to sell something recently made to a museum of antique objects. Lovecraft then remembers himself answering the curator:

"Why do you say that this thing is new? The dreams of men are older than brooding Egypt or the contemplative Sphinx, or garden-girdled Babylon, and this was fashioned in my dreams."

This can be compared to what the character of Henry Anthony Wilcox tells the main character's uncle while showing him his sculpted bas-relief for help in reading hieroglyphs on it which came through Wilcox's own fantastical dreams:

"It is new, indeed, for I made it last night in a dream of strange cities; and dreams are older than brooding Tyre or the contemplative Sphinx, or garden-girdled Babylon."

Lovecraft then used this for a brief synopsis of a new story outlined in his own Commonplace Book at first in August 1925, which developed organically out of the idea of what the bas-relief in the dream actually might have depicted. In a footnote for his writing down of his own dream, Lovecraft then finished with the suggestion "Add good development & describe nature of bas-relief" to himself for future reference.

Cthulhu Mythos scholar Robert M. Price claims the irregular sonnet "The Kraken", published in 1830 by Alfred Tennyson, was a major inspiration, since both reference a huge aquatic creature sleeping for an eternity at the bottom of the ocean and destined to emerge from its slumber in an apocalyptic age.

S. T. Joshi and David E. Schultz cited other literary inspirations: Guy de Maupassant's "The Horla" (1887), which Lovecraft described in Supernatural Horror in Literature as concerning "an invisible being who...sways the minds of others, and seems to be the vanguard of a horde of extraterrestrial organisms arrived on Earth to subjugate and overwhelm mankind"; and Arthur Machen's "The Novel of the Black Seal" (1895), which uses the same method of piecing together of disassociated knowledge (including a random newspaper clipping) to reveal the survival of a horrific ancient being.

It is also assumed he got inspiration from William Scott-Elliot's The Story of Atlantis (1896) and The Lost Lemuria (1904), which Lovecraft read in 1926 shortly before he started to work on the story.

Price also notes that Lovecraft admired the work of Lord Dunsany, who wrote The Gods of Pegana (1905), which depicts a god constantly lulled to sleep to avoid the consequences of its reawakening. Another Dunsany work cited by Price is A Shop in Go-by Street (1919), which stated "the heaven of the gods who sleep", and "unhappy are they that hear some old god speak while he sleeps being still deep in slumber".

The "slight earthquake" mentioned in the story is likely the 1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake.

S.T. Joshi has also cited A. Merritt's novella The Moon Pool (1918) which Lovecraft 'frequently rhapsodied about'. Joshi says that 'Merritt's mention of a "moon-door" that, when tilted, leads the characters into a lower region of wonder and horror seems similar to the huge door whose inadvertent opening by the sailors causes Cthulhu to emerge from R'lyeh'.

Edward Guimont has argued that H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds was an influence on "The Call of Cthulhu", citing the thematic similarities of ancient, powerful, but indifferent aliens associated with deities; physical similarities between Cthulhu and the Martians; and the plot detail of a ship ramming an alien in a temporarily successful but ultimately futile gesture.

Plot
The deceased narrator, Francis Wayland Thurston, recounts his discovery of notes left behind by his grand-uncle, Brown University linguistic professor George Gammell Angell, after his death in the winter of 1926–27. Among the notes is a small bas-relief sculpture of a scaly creature which yields "simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature." The sculptor, a Rhode Island art student named Henry Anthony Wilcox, based the work on delirious dreams of "great Cyclopean cities of titan blocks and sky-flung monoliths." Frequent references to Cthulhu and R'lyeh are found in Wilcox's papers. Angell also discovers reports of mass hysteria around the world.

More notes discuss a 1908 meeting of an archeological society in which New Orleans police official John Raymond Legrasse asks attendees to identify a statuette of unidentifiable greenish-black stone resembling Wilcox's sculpture. It is then revealed that the previous year, Legrasse and a party of policemen found several women and children being used in a ritual by an all-male cult. After killing five of the cultists and arresting 47 others, Legrasse learns that they worship the "Great Old Ones" and await the return of a monstrous being called Cthulhu. The prisoners identify the statuette as "great Cthulhu." One of the academics present at the meeting, Princeton professor William Channing Webb, describes a group of "Esquimaux" with similar beliefs and fetishes.

Thurston discovers a 1925 article from an Australian newspaper which reports the discovery of a derelict ship, the Alert, of which second mate Gustaf Johansen is the sole survivor. Johansen reports that the Emma was attacked by a heavily armed yacht named the Alert. The crewmen of the Emma killed those aboard the Alert, but lost their own ship in the battle, commandeered the Alert, and discovered an uncharted island in the vicinity of co-ordinates of -47.15°N, -126.71667°W. With the exception of Johansen and another man, the remaining crew died on the island. Johansen does not reveal the manner of their death.

Upon traveling to Australia, Thurston views a statue retrieved from the Alert which is identical to the previous two. In Norway, he learns that Johansen died suddenly after an encounter with "two Lascar sailors". Johansen's widow provides Thurston with her late husband's manuscript, wherein the uncharted island is described as being home to a "nightmare corpse-city" called R'lyeh. Johansen's crew struggled to comprehend the non-Euclidean geometry of the city and accidentally released Cthulhu, resulting in their deaths. Johansen and one crewmate fled aboard the Alert and were pursued by Cthulhu. Johansen rammed the yacht into the creature's head, only for its injury to regenerate. The Alert escaped, but Johansen's crewmate died. After finishing the manuscript, Thurston realizes he is now a target of Cthulhu's worshippers, and hopes in vain that it will be destroyed following his death.

Literary significance and criticism
Lovecraft regarded the short story as "rather middling—not as bad as the worst, but full of cheap and cumbrous touches". Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright first rejected the story, and only accepted it after writer Donald Wandrei, a friend of Lovecraft's, falsely claimed that Lovecraft was thinking of submitting it elsewhere.

The published story was regarded by Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the Barbarian) as "a masterpiece, which I am sure will live as one of the highest achievements of literature.... Mr. Lovecraft holds a unique position in the literary world; he has grasped, to all intents, the worlds outside our paltry ken". Lovecraft scholar Peter Cannon regarded the story as "ambitious and complex...a dense and subtle narrative in which the horror gradually builds to cosmic proportions", adding "one of [Lovecraft's] bleakest fictional expressions of man's insignificant place in the universe".

French novelist Michel Houellebecq, in his book H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life, described the story as the first of Lovecraft's "great texts".

Canadian mathematician Benjamin K. Tippett noted that the phenomena described in Johansen's journal may be interpreted as "observable consequences of a localized bubble of spacetime curvature", and proposed a suitable mathematical model.

E. F. Bleiler has referred to "The Call of Cthulhu" as "a fragmented essay with narrative inclusions".

The story, published more than a decade before World War II, is interesting for its use of the word "holocaust" as a metaphor for a global massacre.

Two Tivoli Gardens
In Tivoli Italy, Villa D'Este was created in the 15th century. Also known as "the Tivoli Gardens" Cardinal d'Este, the owner of the villa and it's garden, was the grandson of Lucresia Borgia. The gardens are vast and intricate. The famous water organ engineer Claude Vernarde was one of the people working on the design. It is a World Heritage Site by the United Nations.

Most of this information I pulled from your article on Villa d'Este, yet I and those people I know who are aware of this place call it Tivoli Gardens. Google pulls up Villa d'Este when searching for Tivoli Gardens. It would be logical in my mind to put some sort of page to let people choose which Tivoli they're looking for. deepsack (talk) 04:31, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

The Kennett Bros is the business name for brothers Paul Kennett, Simon Kennett and Jonathan Kennett. They have been heavily involved in mountain biking in New Zealand since 1984, and in publishing books about cycling and cyclists. They were inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 2018.

Activities
Paul organised the first national mountain bike race in New Zealand in 1986 – the Karapoti Classic. The Kennett Bros continued to run this annually until 2002, when they sold the event.

In 1997 they co-organised a round of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Wellington.

In 1998 they started building the Wellington City Council owned Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park, which received a national recreation award in 2002 and a national conservation award in 2003.

From 2001 to 2006 the Kennett Bros coordinated a forest revegetation project at Otari-Wilton's Bush. 40,000 trees were planted over a five-year period.

The Kennett Bros helped organise the 2006 Rotorua UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships.

From 2010 to 2014 the Kennett Bros were a project manager on the New Zealand Cycle Trail.

Publishing
Paul ran a national mountain bike magazine called Mountain Bike New Zealand Magazine from 1988 to 1990.

In 1991 the Kennett Bros wrote the first edition of Classic New Zealand Mountain Bike Rides, a national guidebook, which became a best seller.

Karapoti Classic

The Karapoti Classic is New Zealand's longest-running annual mountain bike event, started in 1986 by Paul Kennett. The full course is 50 km long and starts in Karapoti Park, Akatarawa, in Upper Hutt, and heads up the 8 km Karapoti Gorge. From there it begins a single 30 km loop in the native and pine forest of the Akatarawa Ranges.

The 1986 Karapoti was New Zealand's first national mountain bike race and was self declared the National Off-Road Championships. The event was managed by the Kennett Bros until 2002.

The event differs from most races because it comprises a large single loop and the route does not change from year to year.

With two exceptions, it has since 1993 been held on the first Saturday of March every year.

Individual results
Male and female winners since the inaugural race are shown in the table below.

 * 9) **Nothing here about what arguments the two sides made.
 * 10) Footnote 25. "At the age of fourteen, Bana wanted to leave school to focus full-time on becoming a motor mechanic, but was convinced by his father to complete school, telling him that he should not make his hobby a job."

No actually my dad says, [Croatian/Australian accent] "Son, don't do that. Ahh, you should stay at school until your high school is finished, and when you finish, don’t make your hobby your job.""
 * 12) Footnote 32. "The film was created to raise awareness about an incurable facial cancer which threatens the survival of the species."
 * 13) *Problem. From site: "Tasmania's devil, the largest marsupial carnivore left on earth, needs such enthusiastic friends. The alarming spread of an incurable facial cancer threatens the survival of the species, with more than a third of the island's devils wiped out in the past 10 years."
 * 14) **Nowhere in this article is it stated that the movie is about, or intended to raise awareness of, the cancer issue.

A number of problems here, mostly of the site-is-related-but-doesn't-directly-support-the-statement variety. Someone needs to go through and clean this up (not only fixing these problems but also going through the footnotes I didn't check). --RobthTalk 21:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have gone through the references and have made some changes. The magazine references were all pretty much checked out, but the websites did have some problems. I have addressed these problems by re-working setences or by removing certain statements all together. -- Underneath-it-All 23:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Catholic?
Does anyone have some kind of first-hand, reputable source that he is Catholic? I think he was married in a Catholic ceremony, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he himself is. Mad Jack 08:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I do believe he is Christian, but cannot confirm if he is Catholic or not. Good call on removing the cat. -- Underneath-it-All 14:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

He´s of Croatian descent which means he´s Catholic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SINJORETOVO (talk • contribs) 08:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

 * There are also Orthodox and Muslim Croatians as far as I'm aware. Also, just because he is of one ethnicity, in Australia does not neccessarily mean he is of their dominant or even minority religions. Unless there is a reputable source around stating what religion he is, eg. in an interview, wikipedia shouldn't proclaim him to be something.--Senor Freebie (talk) 05:16, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't know, is Eric Bana a religious man, or is he also catholic now, but I know, the name of his father, is definitely a croatian-catholic name. A big majority of the croatians who emigrated to Australia are very religious, very catholic and mostly conservative people. Similar, to the the Irish emigrants in Australia or USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.231.250 (talk) 14:28, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Infobox...
When I view the article, the infobox looks very small and it is hard to read. I was wondering if it was just my browser or if others see it that way too. If so how can we fix it? -- Underneath-it-All 14:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Never mind...I think I have fixed it. -- Underneath-it-All 18:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Ref problem
I found that citation #22 does not work. I tried to renew it, but the website doesn't seem to carry the review anymore, so you'll probably have to delete that sentence.-Dark Kubrick 04:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I tried to look for an alternative source, but have yet to find one. Following WPCITE, I have listed when the link went inactive and will keep it in the article because a print source does exist and the article may turn up on the internet archives in the near future. -- Underneath-it-All 14:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, it seems that citation #32 does not point to the article in question anymore. Might i suggest someone changing the reference to: http://www.ericbana-archives.com/ (which has pics of his car before and after too!) Johnmorrow 06:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Out of Bounds
No mention of his comedy CD 'Out of Bounds'? I believe it was released in '94, the title track had a music video. Anyone have the tracklisting and cover art they can add? Metalion SOS 00:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It should probably have its own article. -- Underneath-it-All 00:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * There's a track listing and cover art etc here. The cover features Eric Bana's arse. It is an hour-long comedy CD about Australian Rules Football. Judging by the sample I have just heard it is a real laugh riot. -Ashley Pomeroy 22:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have created an article for the CD (Out of Bounds (album)). -- Underneath-it-All 00:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Alternative Eric Bana image
I have a lot of images, but have limited time. Here's an alternative Eric Bana - I'll let the people invested in the page decide which they prefer. --David Shankbone 03:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Great image! I've added in into the body of the article. -- Underneath-it-All 04:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
This page has clearly been vandalized. I reversed some of the false information, but someone else should really take a look at it. 24.235.190.192 (talk) 00:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Love the Beast
Since this is one of Bana's most recent films, it seemed odd to me that it isn't in the 2005-present section of the article. Not sure what others think.--Senor Freebie (talk) 05:19, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I definitly think it should be there, especialy in filmography table.--Beegees (talk) 02:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Included Munich Character's Last Name
On January 30, 2010, I included the last name of Avner, the character Bana portrayed in Munich, Avner Kaufman. Xin Jing (talk) 19:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Scrubs (Television)
Eric Bana was also in Scrubs, as Elliot Reed's boyfriend. Should add this to the television page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.159.68.242 (talk) 01:56, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

"Mimicked his teachers as a means to get out of trouble"?
It seems unlikely that he "In school, he mimicked his teachers as a means to get out of trouble". To mimic a teacher would be a good way to get into trouble.Royalcourtier (talk) 07:27, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Racism?
"his family had suffered from racist taunts" - Races are: caucasian, asian, african, etc. There is no race like for "Eastern-European immigrants", so I don't really get how he could have got racist taunts. The usage of the word 'racist' is only correct in this sentence, if he was constantly called a 'caucasian', but it's hard to imagine. Black kids encircled him and called him 'ugly white guy' or what? To call someone 'immigrant' or 'Eastern-European' is a bad thing, but definitely not racism, which is about races and not regions. 178.48.177.1 (talk) 07:40, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

FA in need of review
This is an FA on a living person that has not been reviewed since its promotion in 2006. There are a number of issues that need to be corrected so the article meets current FA criteria. Examples:

 * The Filmography section is completely unsourced. Either reliably cite all of those roles one by one or move the tables to a new article a la Nicholas Hoult;
 * Several unsourced sentences, like participation in Lucky You and Kath & Kim;
 * Weak sources:
 * ericbana-archives.com is a fan-site, there's 2 of them;
 * Imdb is a user-generated source that has to be replaced;

 * the article is severely lacking in commentary about his performances. For instance:
 * His participation in Star Trek, which was a big role in a big franchise, has zero commentary in the article.
 * There's no commentary about his performance in The Time Traveler's Wife, or Hanna, or Lone Survivor, or even Troy (!!!!). Compare this with recent FA promotion Nicholas Hoult, in which each role has some kind of critics' commentary next to it, or even a quote from the actor himself;
 * The 2009-present section is basically "He starred in this", "He starred in that". Also, some of his later roles are missing from the text altogether;
 * The man was in 202 episodes of Something in the Air and there's nothing to be said about it?
 * Here's some commentary of Bana in a scholarly source, the sourcing needs updating to include recent sources.

These are just examples; the article needs work to rise to meet the FA criteria. RetiredDuke (talk) 15:17, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * RetiredDuke, I agree. I've improved several media FAs in the past, and this is one I'll also tackle. Thanks. LM150 17:12, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've addressed all the issues now. Let's keep this away from FAR ;) Thanks. LM150 13:21, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @LM150, great work :). A few more comments: I'm seeing some inconsistently formatted citations (use of urls instead of BBC in some places, the better formatted The New York Times elsewhere). The Sun-Herald is typically not a reliable source. The first sentence of the body has overcitation. Did his charity work stop after 2007? FemkeMilene (talk) 16:44, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've fixed the citations and ensured that the "Name of publication" matches what is on the website. I've tweaked everything else and added some detail about his latest charity work that I could find. LM150 18:52, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't know why FAR should be prevented, even with improvements. If improvements have been made to address issues, then great. Well, I'm still unsure whether there are still issues that we overlooked. However, I think a review procedure should be more formal. Also, FAR doesn't always lead to FARC but rather "keep". Furthermore, FAR can be made and recorded to further strengthen the article's FA status. Or, shall I say that FAR can lead to a positive result. Right? --George Ho (talk) 04:53, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * have all of the article's concerns been addressed? Would you like to remove the notice at WP:FARGIVEN and mark it as "Satisfactory" at WP:URFA/2020A, or should the notice stand and continue improvements?
 * I think FAR should be prevented, if possible, because there are lots of featured articles that need improvements, and only a limited amount of time and editors who are willing to help make improvements. If someone is working on an article, then it is typically not necessary to bring it to FAR. Z1720 (talk) 21:27, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I wish FAR were inevitable, but as I learned, seriousness of an issue is essential to starting (and prolonging) the FAR. Before bringing the biographical article to FAR, I want to avoid repeating the way I brought Quatermass and the Pit into formal review. But I also have to be more involved in the article as well, which might put me under greater stress than it should. George Ho (talk) 21:43, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * LM150 has marked this as "satisfactory" at WP:URFA/2020A. Have your concerns been resolved? I also forgot to ping in my original message, so am doing so now. Have your concerns been addressed, too? Z1720 (talk) 20:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't have the energy to get back into this. Femke (talk) 20:17, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
