This is an A380 cabin photo, NOT a 747-8 cabin photo[edit]

This file is NOT a 747-8 cabin, as claimed (again). This error was corrected once already, in June 2012. It appears that the uploader, who requested this renaming, is misled. This is not surprising, as passengers, photographers, and media often misidentify aircraft. However, there is simply no way on this planet that this photo is of a Boeing 747-8.

The error returned in January 2013 "at uploader's request," with the editor's comment saying: "This is 747-8, see [1]". Anyone carefully viewing that linked photo of a REAL 747-8 would see that calling this Commons photo the same is incorrect. Altair78 (talk) 08:09, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence that this is an A380 cabin photo[edit]

The fact is, this Commons image is an A380 cabin. The cited link IS a 747-8 cabin.

I have uploaded this Commons photo, but with key areas marked to show why this IS an A380:

Evidence # Type Lufthansa A380 [linked proof] Lufthansa 747-8 [linked proof]
1 Overhead bin latch horizontal, bottom mount [2] vertical, upper mount [3][4]
2 Overhead bins, center shelf bin (lid opens upward) [5] articulating bin (opens down) [6][7]
3 Overhead bins, side shelf bin (lid opens upward)[8] articulating bin (opens down) [9]
4 Cabin ceiling S-curve shape, lower towards cabin centerline [10] concave or flat shape, higher towards cabin centerline [11]
5 Seatback design one magazine pocket below tray table [12] extra pocket above tray table and below IFE screen [13][14]
6 Window design flush with largely featureless sidewalls [15] rounded rectangular sidewall design around each window [16]
7 Exit signs semicircle shape [17] rectangular shape [18]

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this photo IS an A380 cabin. Regardless of what some may claim, the proof is in the photograph itself.

I believe that Wikimedia Commons is devoted to accuracy. In the interests of truth and accuracy, this photo should be correctly named for what it really shows: an A380 interior.
