Changi Airport Logo is wrong on the page & Add a footnote that Changi Airport Singapore Logo is obsolete

An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes.

What I think should be changed: The Changi Airport Singapore Logo to be changed to the Changi Airport Group
Why it should be changed:Changi Airport Singapore logo which is no longer in use since 2017.
References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

"https://www.changiairport.com/"

The Changi Airport’s Wikipedia page is showing Changi Airport Singapore logo which is no longer in use. A Changi Airport Group staff has changed it to Changi Airport Group logo in 2017 using their official wiki account but recently (2023) someone change it back and now their account is suspended. Is there a long-term solution for this? Also, we need to put in a footnote that the Changi Airport Singapore logo is obsolete.

Logo

@Cankin3 and 202.55.83.233: Continuing the discussion I left on your talkpage, there is unnecessary for logos to include anything like "airport group", "co., ltd", etc. if there are simple ones available. There is no rule on here that every article has to conform to the very exact logo used on the company's website. Specially for airports, it's a pretty common practice to use only the ones specific to the airport itself when possible; for example, Kuala Lumpur Int'l, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Beijing Capital, Guangzhou Baiyun, etc. differ from their own official websites. There is nothing misleading about using the one that is currently on the article. Instead of edit warring like you have been doing, you need to discuss your changes appropriately. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 14:30, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nkon21:, do you have a citation for File:Changi Airport logo.svg being the active logo used by the airport? Because that would go a long way toward making your case here. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:38, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is commonly used by media such as Skytrax, Centre for Aviation, as well as Changi Airport's own social media page when they opened the Jewel. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 14:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That Facebook page is 5 years old, and the other two pages don't have an indication of when they were last updated. What do you have that's verifiably current? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware, Skytrax updates their ratings every year, with the last release on March 15, 2023. Nonetheless, I don't quite see why the airport's management group should be used. Changi Airport Group manages its website and social media accounts so it would make sense to use their logo in those cases, but for Wikipedia, File:Changi Airport logo.svg is simply fine. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 15:25, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's only simply fine if it hasn't been replaced by something else. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So far the WayBack machine showed the use of the group-logo in January 2018, for what that is worth. The Banner talk 15:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The non-group (Changi Airport Singapore) logo was introduced in May 2010, time travel back to end of May 2010 shows the website having this logo. It wasn't until middle of September 2019 where the group (Changi Airport Group) logo replaced the non-group logo near the official opening of Jewel Changi Airport. This also extends beyond online usage, such as real-life promotional materials with the final usage for non-group log depicts in January 2019, and recent images depicts the group logo. As for their media's releases usages that has logos, the final usage for non-group logo was in June 2019. The first appearance of group logo was in November 2019 after the official opening of Jewel. The only evidence I could find of the non-group logo still being used was video footage uploaded in 2023 by YouTuber showing how to self check in where the machine features the logo (whether or not it's engraved is unclear), for example this at 0:13 in Terminal 4 or this from the start in Terminal 1. Is it however unclear if the recently reopened Terminal 2 which features new machines uses the non-group logo or group logo, I would assumed that it is the latter. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 16:50, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, those videos are useful, thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kiosks at T2 also uses Changi Airport Singapore, as does other promotional content, so the airport still uses File:Changi Airport logo.svg in some places. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 18:29, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then I don't think that using the non-group logo is of any concerns since the machines that is facing the passengers uses that logo. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 06:51, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SarekOfVulcan Fyi, it does seem like the socking are slowly coming back since the full-protection has expired. Maybe consider semi-protection. I would assume/believe that there is some sort of consensus judging from the comments and given that the thread has essentially become stale. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably best to make the request at WP:RFPP, to avoid any question about admin involvement. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SarekOfVulcan Noted thanks! — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 17:07, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The newly released 2024 Skytrax World Airport Award has now put Singapore Changi at the World’s Second Best Airport behind Doha Hamad Airport in Qatar. (It is not “currently holding” the title anymore)

"At the stroke of midnight ... at 07:10"

Quote: "The very first commercial aviation at Changi Airport was at the stroke of midnight on 1 July 1981 when Singapore Airlines SQ101 touched down at 07:10:00 Singapore Time with 140 passengers from Kuala Lumpur." How does that make sense? 27.33.163.124 (talk) 02:27, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it means this: "Changi Airport opened for commercial aviation at midnight on 1 July 1981 and its first commercial operation occurred at 07:10:00 Singapore Time when Singapore Airlines SQ101 touched down with 140 passengers from Kuala Lumpur." But I leave it to someone who knows better to make any change. 27.33.163.124 (talk) 02:56, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely right, so I corrected it. The Banner talk 03:19, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
