Hi all. I found the high capacity seating of the aircraft to be 190 from Simpleflying.com. Generally, I think some reportings from Simpleflying of questionable quality. I second source it from CGTN. My edit was reverted because it's considered an unreliable source. --

Hi, I read your comment w/r/t your formatting reversion on the above-refrenced wiki page; seems fine to me. I added the row and column formatting on the delivery table to save myself some time in the future (had some spare time to figure out how to do the table formatting so I thought I'd add it now rather than having to figure it out again later when I'm more pressed for time). On the unreliability tags, my question is if "rzjets.net" and "planespotters.net" are generally considered to be unreliable, what is a better source; perhaps a better source should be cited for the C919 page.
Hi Marc, thanks for your reply. Just one comment: I understand your general concerns re "self-generated material", but it seems to me that your criteria for what constitutes a self-generated source in the field of aerospace may be a bit too strict since, for example, "Gunter's Space Page" (by a German national I think) which is widely cited by Wiki pages on orbital and suborbital rocket launchers may also qualify as a "self-generated source". Citing only manufacturers and traditional publications as sources in order to maximally shrink the informational error-bars ignore the often enormous efforts expended by enthusiasts (which include Wiki editors). Of course, this is only my peraonal observation.
@
Spotty's Friend: Using
WP:reliable sources is paramount. Despite the scrutiny, even Wikipedia itself is not reliable enough to be used as a RS (see
WP:Circular). I'm mainly interested in civilian aircraft, so I can't vouch for other fields, but it seems to attract less enthusiastic amateurs than rockets and military aircraft.--

i send you references articles which are attached with the misleading part, I read the full article ,no where the article mentions that Comac c919 use rebadged CFM-56 engines.

Yes, the LEAP engine is the successor to the CFM56,but the text mentioned that CFM supplied Comac with rebadged CFM-56 is misleading. yes, leap-c version is more heavy ,but components are identical with other leap engines and it's more matched with leap-A.Also the reference does not match the misleading text.
@
Sayanpdd: Apologies, I've just realised what this is about. I'll copy this conversation over to the talk page of the aircraft article, and ping others involved. Hopefully we can get consensus on this.

The Forbes reference mentions one analyst,
Richard Aboulafia, who "suspects [the LEAP-1C] actually an upgraded version of the older CFM56" rather than a true LEAP variant – which is a bit on the light side for the
WP:WEASELly "Experts believe". The EASA TCDS confirms that the -1C is approx 25% heavier than the -1A, but the leap from that data point to the claim in the text is pure
WP:OR. So, while I initially reverted what was at the time an unexplained removal of sourced text, the removal does now seem perfectly reasonable.
