Las Vegas Sands aircraft now broken up

See this link. https://www.747sp.com/vq-bms-broken-up/ I would edit, but I'm not sure how to add Las Vegas Sands into the Former Operators section. Markkerrigan (talk) 19:00, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added Las Vegas Sands to the Former Operators section for you. KittyHawkFlyer (talk) 17:41, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New photo

A CAAC(airline) photo will look better than the b&w photo of Boeing. It is a colour photo. So the CAAC photo is better, right Canterbury Tail? BuddyHeigh (talk) 09:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Canterbury Tail? BuddyHeigh (talk) 10:04, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Canterbury Tail? BuddyHeigh (talk) 10:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't ping me multiple times in less than 15 minutes, you're not going to get a response faster and there's no limit on time to respond. You're going around changing images in infoboxes all over Wikipedia, and edit warring for your favourite ones. Get consensus before changing them, they are often chosen by the community after a lot of discussion. Canterbury Tail talk 11:03, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon me for pinging you! Anyways, consensus please for CAAC 747SP Image! BuddyHeigh (talk) 11:23, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MonoPing! Hello Canterbury Tail? BuddyHeigh (talk) 11:24, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus requires discussion with several editors. See Wp:CONSENSUS for more information. Canterbury Tail talk 11:36, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, does somebody want a better SAA 747SP Photo(to me)? It looks nice...

Here is the image:-

New Image

Hello Stepho-wrs, will this colourful image of an Iran Air 747SP look better? Here is the image:- https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EP-IAA_Boeing_747SP_Iran_Air_LHR_21.4.96_(50584966357).jpg BuddyHeigh (talk) 18:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Iran Air landing image is a perfectly fine image. But the image in Boeing colours from above is a far better (and rarer) image. Stepho talk 22:27, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Plus, I feel it better shows the stubby size of the SP. RickyCourtney (talk) 22:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, what do you guys think about my main image suggestion? Should it be put, or should it be not put. Tell your suggestions! BuddyHeigh (talk) 09:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. It should not be put. RickyCourtney (talk) 17:30, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both of us said the exiting image was better and your follow up question was whether we should use the newer image. Are you on drugs or something? If the existing image is fine then please find something more productive than to shuffle perfectly good images around. Stepho talk 00:02, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
