Hello, I’m Danners430. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of BAe 146 operators, but you didn’t provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it’s important that article content be verifiable. If you’d like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Danners430 tweaks made 19:37, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Danners430 Ok i understand but planespotters.net Is the best source on the internet (for airlines fleets). ~2025-31228-35 (talk) 19:42, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
