Your first edit was unsourced.
You second edit was sourced, but the source did not mention Giza Airport.
You edits are nearly always substandard. You should known better by now. The Banner talk 22:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Flightsfrom.com

Is flightsfrom.com a reliable source for new routes? It's not a booking website, it shows the destinations a airport has non stop flights to, it also shows a route available and which airline operates it in what frequency Metrosfan (talk) 06:46, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

I looks like a scraper website, copying info from other websites. Try to avoid it when you have better sources. I don't know the website, so don't count this as approval. The Banner talk 09:46, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
It does take a while for new routes to be added and no longer operated, also this website would still show a flight's second section that dont have fifth freedom route, it also wouldnt show the final destination of a flight that have two section, regardless on whether the second section have fifth freedom rights or not, for example, KLM flies from Amsterdam to Manila via Taipei Taoyuan, from Amsterdam it will not show Manila as a destination, also the Taipei-Manila section has no fifth freedom rights which means people cannot travel between those two cities, yet the website show Taipei-Manila flights are operated by KLM Metrosfan (talk) 10:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Feel free to discuss it at Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources as I think your concerns are legit. The Banner talk 10:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Brian Boru and Christian religion before 1054.

On 1 July 2024‎, I edited the religion of Brian Boru from 'Roman Catholic' to 'Chalcedonian Christianity', putting a note which explained my reasoning. However, you deleted my edit, saying: revert, effectively unsourced. But even then you have to prove with sources that he was not catholic May I ask what does it mean that I have to PROVE with sources he was NOT Catholic? There are undisputable sources that Brian Boru was Christian, right? And the Christian Church split four decades after Brian Boru's death: https://www.britannica.com/event/East-West-Schism-1054 Saying ANY ruler before that time, Irish or otherwise, was 'Catholic' or 'Orthodox', would be like saying they were 'Protestant'. It is historically incorrect. Those terms were used INTERCHANGEABLY about the Christian church as a whole. Please, let us not the politics of 21st century influence our view of history. Brian Boru, and the Kings before/after him considered themselves a part of a Christian church, plain and simple. If we are to put some kind of label on him/them, it could be 'Western christianity', because that was more of a geographical and cultural term. Udrevnavremena (talk) 07:46, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Synod of Ráth Breasail. The Irish church of the time was the oddball out. And beside that: it was unsourced, just a claim. The Banner talk 08:44, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

T'way Air BKI-CJU flights

I have added a citation tag on Kota Kinabalu International Airport regarding about T'way's Seasonal charter Jeju-Kota Kinabalu flights, was it justifiedly added?The source don't show it is a charter flight, also the flight isn't operating as of now, I am not removing Jeju as a destination because I don't know if it really is a seasonal charter that may operate again somewhere late in this year or it's discontinued.

By and large: if you do not have independent, reliable sources, do not mention it in an article. The Banner talk 12:21, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

ODR-BDL Flight

What are you doing? You claim I provided no proof, yet I was providing all the proof. Like I said you can easily find AA Eagle flights from ORD-BDL anytime between November and April. Since that seems hard to do, here is a direct link to a google flights search showing it: https://www.google.com/travel/flights/search?tfs=CBwQAhonEgoyMDI0LTExLTAyMgJBQWoMCAISCC9tLzAxX2Q0cgcIARIDQkRMQAFIAXABggELCP___________wGYAQI&hl=en-US&gl=US

Do you even understand what happened with this flight in the first place? BDL has been listed for a very long time under year round service for AA mainline and AA Eagle. Then on Aug 13, VanFlyer98, thought it has now changed to mainline only, and thus removed BDL under AA Eagle. I did the research on aa.com, and easily found AA Eagle service to BDL in the winter months. Which is why I thus added BDL back to seasonal service on the 14th. Now you and the other person think I'm just randomly adding this flight back, when it has always been there, just in the wrong category.

I understand we want to make sure there are no unsourced additions to the article, but when I provided clear proof twice and you undo both the revisions, that's just wrong. Did you even read the comments in the revisions, or just blindly undo them? 73.73.243.217 (talk) 01:05, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

You did not provide proof in the article, despite that being mandatory. And a Google-search is not a suitable source, as it just scrapes company websites. But when you can provide a news-article or other independent source, we are in business. The Banner talk 09:21, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
What are you actually talking about? Are you just trying to be some type of troll? Do you agree, or not agree that it you go to AAs ACTUAL WEBSITE, and search for ORD-BDL flights in Nov, that you can find AA Eagle flights??? Are you saying the website from the ACTUAQL airline is not 'proof' for you, because that is just some bs. They are the ones actually flying the lights. Who do you think the other websites get their news from when routes changes?? From AA's ACTUAL website.
Do you even realize that the first change with this flight back on Aug 13, was 'unsourced' as well. So by your logic, the article should go back to that state... 73.73.243.217 (talk) 13:33, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
What do you not understand of give independent sources in the article? The Banner talk 15:06, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey, regarding this, it said the page didn't exist, not that I needed to pay for it. What am I missing? LadyofShalott 21:19, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Did you try to get a subscription to their service to gain access? The Banner talk 08:53, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
