thread_title: Air algérie

message: What's the semantic of the numbers? - Like current 747 in fleet? If that's the case, what's about the retired operators? - Or, is it the average number of 747 during operation?, peak number?, or like the sum of 747 each operator had acquired until now? --- I really think we need more information here, not just a couple of numbers without source information or semantics.

message: I see a lot of unreferenced entries here, and the ones having sources rely upon planespotters, which is not considered reliable.--Jetstreamer  13:09, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the other sources used are not particularly reliable either! MilborneOne (talk) 13:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reinstated the current operators table from July 2015, from the world airliner census, and the updated summary of deliveries by model from Boeing data, but the other listings almost entirely sourced from planespotters / airfleets needs a lot of work or removal if reliable sources are not forthcoming. SempreVolando (talk) 04:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? photos from various sites are the only other source of information, why have incomplete articles with tons of information missing? why are planespotters and airfleets unreliable? the other reliable one aerotransport.orgis payfor and ch-aviation have gont that route as well.139.190.165.199 (talk) 15:08, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Images are not a reliable source and the other are created mainly by individuals and fans which is why they are not considered reliable, plenty of books and magazines around that can be used as reliable references. MilborneOne (talk) 16:34, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

text: Removed again as no reliable sources included for a second time, just planespotters / airfleets. SempreVolando (talk) 03:17, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: To just remove hours and years of work like that is really harsh, do you know what effort went into doing that? the sources are 95% reliable as a spotter you should know, that is if you are spotters, many unreferenced airline destination lists exist why not delete those too, several are still with none or unreliable refs, incorrect and missing information, that ideal refernce you are desiring only exists in the form of photographs which you dont allow, even the reliable Boeing order book is missing tons of information which can ony be found through the spotter sites, relaible sites are pay for so no point in referencing them, kindly restore the section till better ref sources are found, just for the sake of effort that was put into creating it. 139.190.175.128 (talk) 00:34, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

text: Request a concensus by others on this.139.190.175.128 (talk) 00:34, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: After starting to rebuild the section using reliable sources what we dont need now is to dump back the original table, its a work in progress so will take time and we all have a real life outside of wikipedia. The next step will be to be add operators from the annual airline fleet summaries at https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/ which you are welcome to help with, thanks.

thread_title:  747-8 operators 

message: It is known that a few units are a museum exhibition and such but how many of the rest are conserved (meaning kept somewhere for just in case) and how many are actually dismantled? 93.185.26.9 (talk) 14:20, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a list of operators not a list of aircraft so doesnt need to mention what happened to them. But just to note that dismantling of aircraft or even storage is not really a noteworthy subject. They are a lot of airline fan sites that list all this details and a number of production lists have been published. MilborneOne (talk) 14:31, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
