Hello, I'm Rosbif73. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of accidents and incidents involving the Boeing 737, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Rosbif73 (talk) 06:17, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- The airport was closed. I don’t need a reliable source as it is common knowledge. 2A02:C7C:70DB:5C00:55E2:CB64:3F64:5960 (talk) 06:27, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- I suggest you read the referencing for beginners guide mentioned above and/or the reliable sources guideline, which tells us that Wikipedia articles
should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy
. "It is common knowledge" or "I am the source to this as I know it happened. I was watching" do not count! Rosbif73 (talk) 06:48, 26 October 2023 (UTC)- I see you've found a source – thanks for that. For future reference, note that while self-published sources such as tweets are acceptable in certain circumstances, independent sources are always preferable. I've updated the article to cite a BBC News report which incidentally also gave the exact time of reopening (whereas the tweet was posted before the actual reopening).

- Kindly don’t change it. The airport reopened after 12 noon. It didn’t reopen the next morning Philb1984 (talk) 09:26, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- There were no flights which left in the morning. They were all cancelled Philb1984 (talk) 09:26, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Actually cancel that. Apologies Philb1984 (talk) 09:27, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
