Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. 68.119.73.36 (talk) 21:11, 5 December 2013 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for January 15Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

If you wish to claim that Wellington is the world's most southernmost capital (and you may be right), then the link to List of national capitals by latitude should really be removed. That page (when sorted) puts Wellington as No.3 - so to link the two causes a conflict. The link has only been added fairly recently (in terms of the phrase that was there). I would be inclined to remove the link, if you are happy that UK dependencies don't count. They are called capitals without a doubt, so they should be in the list. Maybe the phrase should be something like "Wellington holds the distinction being world's southernmost capital city in a country". But I do think something needs changing - others will spot the ambiguity and one will end up with it being altered every so often. Have a think about it. Ronhjones (Talk) 19:42, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
I work at Brisbane Airport and the awards section you severely trimmed and didn't find 'notable' is actually fact and has the right to be publicly available. It is not at your discretion to play god based on your personal preference so if you would please refrain that would be greatly appreciated. The awards were credited to the appropriate sources so I don't see why you removed the majority of them?

Your recent revertsConcerning your recent reverts in Pacific Islander, please be open to Wikipedian routines rather than asking other to add references where it's not applicable. You can refer the article Dai people: when mentioning some words in certain languages, it's usually good not to add any reference to make the article look better. Imagine if I edit the article Dai people this way:
where [226][227][228]...[280] contain dozens of dictionaries and wordlists for every single Tai languages...

The recent revert you did to my minor edit on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was a disservice to Wikipedia visitors. There is nothing wrong with the tooltip preview in Wikipedia; it is working as designed. There is, however, a problem with editors indiscriminately using templates where they're not needed. — QuicksilverT @ 20:41, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Kiwi Regional Airlines requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

@User:Andrewgprout No worries... :) EnRouteAviation (talk) 01:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC) Working animalHi, Thanks for pointing the fact that I forgot the reference on my last edit. I translated some of the facts from the French wiki page, but now I see that some information out there was not referenced. Otherwise, I still think that a section on draft animal in agriculture is seriously missing in this article, compared to other languages. So I looked around on the FAO website and found figures with references to correct my post from last week : 11% of the land in developed countries countries is worked with draft animals, 7% by hand, and the 82% left with tractors; while in developing countries 52% of the land is worked with draft animals, 26% by hand, and the 22% left with tractors. [1] What do you think? Corto Malt (talk) 16:41, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
The problem with the French article is that there was no sources and I hadn't realized it at first! I pointed it a few days ago but since then nobody answered. I agree with the fact that we should first complete paragraphs instead of creating new ones, but here I think that a paragraph on agriculture is missing. There are 3 sections in Specialization of Working animals : Transportation, Searching and retrieving, and Interfacing and organization. I don't think agriculture is counting in any of these three, but I do think that this is a very important part of working animals specialization (way more than Interfacing and organization for example, in terms of number of animals being used for that and of historical importance). But maybe this is a discussion that should happen on the Working animal's talk page.

How did you determine my additions regarding Air New Zealand's service to Houston starting in July 2015, including the history behind it not commencing in 2012, were "not necessary"? Bd64kcmo (talk) 21:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)bd64kcmoBd64kcmo (talk) 21:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Good day Andrew. Good catch on the "history bit" which was intended to be about Air New Zealand's delayed entry into the Houston US gateway for several years. I intended to show that affected the airline's profile and standing, as well as their earnings and passenger flux. So although my intention was indeed about Air New Zealand, it turned out to be about United. Duh! Now, I am looking at the criteria in Wikipedia which defines "focus city" thus: "In the airline industry, a focus city is a location that is NOT a hub, but from which the airline has non-stop flights to several destinations other than its hubs. Other terms with equivalent meaning are "minor hub", "mini-hub", "hublet", "key city", or "base". The term "focus city" was originally used by various US airlines as a marketing term to promote operations at secondary destinations in the 1990s; however, widespread usage has greatly expanded the definition.[citation needed] ". See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_city Admittedly it is not all that clear and it needs a citation, which I have not had time to look into. However, in no way did I, or the Wikipedia criteria, make every destination a "focus city", whatever the exact definition of a "focus city" truly is. Consider Air New Zealand's own website: http://www.airnewzealand.com/, clearly New York, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Honolulu are in large boldface font, with other select US cities listed in the next box. However Auckland to New York and Las Vegas are NOT non-stop routes. Only Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Honolulu are. This is also indicated in Air New Zealand's destination list here in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_New_Zealand_destinations. So do we have 6 US"focus cities", 4 US "focus cities", or only Los Angeles as the sole US "focus city"? On their route map, Los Angeles and Vancouver are shown as North American hubs, not the other four, and dozens of other North American cities are shown as destinations. Now wouldn't that make Los Angeles a hub, and make Houston, San Francisco, and Honolulu "mini hubs"? I believe this would fill the definition, albeit a bit unclear, by Wikipedia, wouldn't you? See http://www.airnewzealand.com/schedules/headermap.aspx?countrycode=US&language=EN to see how that map is presented. In short, arguably Los Angeles and these 5 mini-hubs, vis a-vis "focus cities", should be presented as such. Why shouldn't the Wikipedia article look something like Air New Zealand's own website? Again thanks for catching that goof I made. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a beautiful day, Andrew. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bd64kcmo (talk • contribs) 20:03, 14 January 2016 (UTC) January 2016

To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.

Eck (talk) 18:12, 2 October 2016 (UTC) Sources on Running RoutesI see you are reverting many users edits on many pages for removing sources. Per guideline #10, the sources are implied by airline timetables, easily found online, as putting a source on every destination is cumbersome and causes clutter. There are THREE circumstances when you should add a source, as stated on WP:Airports: 1. The route is begining, ending, or resuming Source: "10. For current destinations, the implicit reference is the airline's published timetable. If the flight is in the timetable and not challenged, an explicit reference is not normally included." None of these are the case on the Singapore Airport page and thus I removed the sources. I left the source on the Chongquing Airlines box though, because there is no timetable to verify this route, so in this case the source is very necessary. If you have a problem with this precedent, you should discuss in on WP:Airports, rather than taking it upon yourself to revert anyone who removes the sources. There is a reason that so many users are making this change, and I hope you are able to realize that there is a reason we are all trying to change this. I hope I am not sounding to condescending and I am aware that we are both frequent aviation editors. I see AirportUpdater has also left you messages about this, whom is a very active aviation editor, please take note of what other are saying when you are reverting a lot of edits. So please bring this up on the WP:Airports talk page if you disagree, but for now the sources should be removed since they as stated "an explicit reference is not normally included."

Sunnya343✈ you are the one deleting valid references - You need to stop doing that. References are a critical and important part of Wikipedia and must be maintained. Andrewgprout (talk) 16:59, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Lets talk LGA and EWRLGA: I removed the source because once a route starts, just like any other route, we use the airline's schedules as a source (see WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT #10). If you disagree with this, then you should start adding sources for every single route listed on every airport page. EWR: We have never required a citation for a route ending as long as it is ending in the airline's schedule. Again, if you disagree with this, you need to add a "citation needed" to every single route that is beginning or ending that doesn't have a source. The reason you won't do this is because a quick check of the airlines websites shows, in at least these two cases, that LGA-BOS is running on JetBlue and Southwest's EWR-LAS is in fact ending. I hope you understand my point as seen by my two most recent edits at LaGuardia Airport. That said, I am interested to see your response. Aviationspecialist101 (talk) 19:01, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

HelloI am not going to engage in edit wars with you (as I see you have been doing above), but an invalid source is an invalid source. YOU added a source that did not give any indication that the flight was running and thus the source was not applicable to the page, I was simply reverting your incorrect edit. You then added for the second time the same incorrect edit, it was YOUR decision to either find a better source, keep the route as it is obviously running just like every other destination, or challenge the route by removing it. This was not my responsibility. I did not remove the source because I do not like sources in the table, I removed it because it was invalid for that fact.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) Canberra AirportHi Andrew, There has been a lot of editors putting Qatar Air to Doha without an exact start date I have reverted it several times but they keep putting it back in. If you have time you could monitor the page as they don't seem to get the message that it needs an exact date. With the reference saying 2017-18 Regards CHCBOY (talk) 20:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC) LAX removal of 1956 crashNot to sound like a jerk, but you removed my reference to a 1956 crash over the Grand Canyon. Both planes took off from LAX. If you want to get technical, "On October 26, 1944, WASP pilot Gertrude Tompkins Silver" should also be removed because that plane took off from LAX and disappeared. the actual crash / ? did not happen on the airfield. There is also a reference to the Sept. 11 planes that were enroute to LAX from the East coast. There are several other references to off field crashes and collisions with planes headed to LAX or from LAX. If there is anything "special" about this crash, this was the first air crash that killed over 100 people at one time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caryeastwood (talk • contribs) 09:29, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
Regarding Airlines and destinations tablesHello, hope you are doing well in the wake of the Kaikoura earthquake. You said earlier that you wanted to have an RfC on the Airlines and destinations tables and were thinking of what question to pose. I developed an argument against them that you can read here. What are your thoughts? — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 22:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
CVG@Andrewgprout: Stop your disruptive editing, you are going against everything you "claim" you are about by suggesting that you need to source removed information. I am challenging these route on the basis there is no proof that the routes are running. I checked FlightAware and there have been no flights on these routes in months. I mean, come on, if a route is unverifiable, you remove the route, not the other way around. Also, you reverted on of my edits that fixing some terrible grammar, misuse of Twinkle, as you did not specify why you changed it, YOU MUST EXPLAIN GOOD FAITH REVERTS IN TWINKLE, IT IS FOR VANDALISM ULESS YOU EXPLAIN YOUR WHOLE EDIT. For that alone you could be blocked from editing. Finally, you are welcome to count the # of destinations listed in the table, its 56, so I do not know what kind of reference you want, so thats the only think that is "unverifiable" as you state. I am getting really tired of your disruptive editing and you will be blocked for continuing to make such changes in Twinkle. Stinger20 (talk) 11:31, 5 January 2017 (UTC) PGD reversionYou've reverted my edit to Punta Gorda Airport (Florida) with the reason "Please do not remove references." Firstly, you've undone additional edits that were unrelated to references (moving three destinations to seasonal, removing one that's stopped running, moving a destination into the correct alphabetical order). Secondly, and it appears you've already been notified about this multiple times, routes that are currently running do not require sources in accordance with consensus.

New Zealand Independence from the UKI believe that the Constitution Act 1986 should be included as the final stage in New Zealand's independence as that was when the UK's power to legislate for New Zealand was completely removed, giving it full sovereignty. If you notice the pages for Canada and Australia, both have similar acts passed around the same time period that also removed the UK's power to legislate for their governments as well. The dates which these acts were enacted are included in the respective country's info box, as the final step in independence from the UK. Thus, I think that my edit should be kept to bring in line with the wiki pages of Australia and Canada, as well as to mark the date of full sovereignty for New Zealand. Thanks.

I think it sould be left alone and let it be. 97.85.118.142 (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC) user:97.85.118.142 it would help if you explained how such transitory information adds to the understanding of the topic and how it is encyclopaedic. You have not done this and without it your additions should be reverted as all they do is confuse. Andrewgprout (talk) 13:43, 21 March 2017 (UTC) Regarding JFKHi. You took my edits on John F. Kennedy International Airport out of context because of my edit summary. But check this discussion. I have pointed out everything in it. AI 102 (JFK-DEL-BOM) flies in same aircraft at least every 3rd day and at maximum, it can fly in same aircraft throughout its journey on consecutive days also. Check FlightRadar24.com this source based on which a user earlier removed Mumbai from destinations. "Misinterpretation" referred to that thing. Vibhss (talk) 20:02, 9 April 2017 (UTC) Qantas to SydneyI think the direct destination which Qantas flies to should be Sydney, and not Brisbane. Even through it switches plane, the flight number remains the same for both legs between JFK to LAX and LAX to SYD. However, while the same aircraft is used for JFK to LAX and LAX to BNE, the flight number changes, meaning they are different flights that happen to use the same aircraft. If you look at the Sydney Airport website, it lists New York JFK as a direct destination from it AND the New York JFK website lists Sydney as a direct destination from it. Thanks. --Agent5514 (talk) 09:32, 12 April 2017 (UTC) Revert in Taiwanese AmericanHi Andrewgprout, you had reverted my edit in Taiwanese American. Please show me where the ABT term has been covered? I added it because I didn't see it, and it's an alternate term people use as opposed to ABC. And what specifically qualifies as "not particularly helpful"? Since nobody both within Taiwan and outside would actually refer to Taiwan as the "free area of Republic of China" other than its constitution, and average English readers are not likely to know ROC is Taiwan now, how is "commonly called "Taiwan" not useful? Mistakefinder (talk) 07:11, 24 April 2017 (UTC) Airline destination sourcesHello there, as you refer to WP:AIRPORTS when reinstating deleted sources, please also read its subsection WikiProject_Airports/page_content. There you can find the following statement regarding the destinations section: "10. For current destinations, the implicit reference is the airline's published timetable. If the flight is in the timetable and not challenged, an explicit reference is not normally included.". This is why we do remove refs from all of these lists once routes have started so please refrain from undoing our maintenance affords. Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.171.191.142 (talk) 09:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
UA ORD SINStop reverting my edit! United's flight from Singapore to Chicago is a direct flight. UA timetables show that it is the same flight number with no plane change. 107.77.237.174 (talk) 17:40, 12 May 2017 (UTC) User:107.77.237.17 WP:BURDEN always applies Andrewgprout (talk) 18:45, 12 May 2017 (UTC) Source added already stating that United serves Singapore from Chicago-O'Hare with a stop in Hong Kong. 97.85.118.142 (talk) 18:40, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
