Please take a read of WP:Reliable Sources. Unfortunately, we cannot accept an editor's personal knowledge as a reliable sourced opinion unless it is published by independently. In the case of the Jet4you fleet, although you may know of new aircraft entering service, until this information is published by a reliable source, we cannot alter material that is otherwise well sourced and supported by evidence. I trust this makes sense. Regards, Nouse4aname (talk) 08:16, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Like I said, read WP:Reliable Sources. Do you qualify as an independent and reliable source on the subject? No. Although you may know this information yourself, we cannot simply "take your word for it". We need reliable, published sources to verify the material included in wikipedia. Until such information is actually published, we cannot simply accept editor's personal knowledge as fact. It must be verifiable. For further information, read WP:V, which states that "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth", thus although what you are saying may be true, until it can be attributed to a reliable source it cannot be included. It also states that "Material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source". What you are stating is actually contradicted by another published source, thus in this instance we must go with the sourced material. If what you are saying is true, then the sources will be updated in due course and the material changed. I trust that this explains matters. Nouse4aname (talk) 09:47, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have had a quick look around the net and came across this, which appears to at least partially support what you are saying. This site suggests there are currently 7 aircraft in the fleet, two 400 series (plus one retired) and four 800 series.... But another site supports the previous information [1]. You could help us all out by having a hunt around for a source to support your knowledge rather than just reverting. I hope you understand our need for verifying information.
