Orphaned references in Emirates Airline Fleet

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Emirates Airline Fleet's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "FI":

• From Lufthansa: "Directory: World Airlines". Flight International. 2007-04-03. p. 107.
• From Pakistan International Airlines: "Directory: World Airlines". Flight International. 2007-04-10. p. 61.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Removed fancruft from article

In case anyone is wondering, I removed a lot of info from the article that was unencyclopedic because it resembled "fancruft." Think about it: Do readers of an encyclopedia really care about the tail numbers of retired aircraft, or the cities that each aircraft type flies to? I don't really think so...

If you think I was wrong to remove all this info, please discuss it here and don't revert my edits. Thanks, Compdude¹²³ 22:10, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Destroying articles is still not effective?

User:Zundex added some images to the article in good faith and I then moved them into the table so the relate better to the aircraft listed, User:FonEengIneeR7 has now removed the images. Perhaps FonEengIneeR7 you could explain why we shouldnt have any images and what the weird edit summary destroying articles is still not effective means, thanks.

Just have a look at your version. First, such an amount of pictures is simply surplus. That's what the Wikimedia Commons link is for. Second, when moving these pcitures to the fleet table you have made a mistake and messed the table up. FonEengIneeR7 (talk) 13:43, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Destroying, a bit strong, OK so the total column needs to be moved across one cell, a simple mistake that could have been fixed rather than reverting. I dont have a strong view on the images I was just improving the previous edit, but note that at least three other fleet articles in Category:Airline fleets use images in the table.

Emirates cancels all their A350 orders

It seems that EK is in favour of the 777, particularly the 777X for replacing their A332, A343, A345, and B772 (non-ER ones) as they drop their A350 orders (50 for the -900, 20 for the -1000). http://www.airbus.com/newsevents/news-events-single/detail/airbus-and-emirates-airline-agree-to-cancel-a350-xwb-order/ (talk) 05:49, 11 June 2014 (UTC))
