Reno-Tahoe Airport

Hello, I am sorry you think I am making disruptive edits, all I am doing is adding a small reference. The article that I cited (https://www.rgj.com/story/life/2017/09/14/date-1862-jesse-lee-reno-killed-battle/664595001/) states "Reno, the infantry commander from Pennsylvania who is Reno's namesake, died three days before the battle of Antietam." This references the fact that the city of Reno was named after Jesse Lee Reno. I'm just trying my best to be helpful and providing a link for a source that states Reno is named after Jesse L Reno.

Please let me know. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linphil (talk • contribs) 13:31, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would this link work better? https://centreforaviation.com/data/profiles/airports/reno-tahoe-international-airport-rno

Explains how the airport is located in Reno, Nevada and a gateway to Lake Tahoe.

I don't understand if the link should describe why it is named Reno and Tahoe Airport or just Reno is named after Jesse L Reno? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linphil (talk • contribs) 13:40, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Linphil Since the article is about the airport, not the city, and the sentence claims the airport is named after two people, the reference should explicitly state why the airport is named after those people. I suspect that "citation needed" was added because the assumption is that the airport is named after the city, not those people. If you cannot find such a source after exhaustive research, it would be okay to remove that sentence entirely and state your reasoning in the edit summary.

So basically, the city of Reno is named after Jesse L Reno and one would assume that Reno Airport is named after the city it is in. How about taking out the Jesse L. Reno part? It is named after both the City of Reno and Lake Tahoe https://centreforaviation.com/data/profiles/airports/reno-tahoe-international-airport-rno. The airport isn't named after him, only the city that the airport is named after is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linphil (talk • contribs) 14:08, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Linphil Yes, stating that the airport is named after both the city and Lake Tahoe would be accurate in the absence of a source that states otherwise. Kstern (talk) 14:19, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Allright, thank you! Sorry for the disruptions.Linphil (talk) 14:39, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Manual of style flags

the MOS:FLAG is clear that flags should not be used as decoration = it is claer that there use on the Kiwifruit page is simply for direction.Andrewgprout (talk) 17:11, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Andrewgprout The guidelines specifically state: "In lists or tables, flag icons may be relevant when such representation of different subjects is pertinent to the purpose of the list or table itself." If you feel this is incorrect, you will have to work with the admins to change the guidelines and subsequently edit every crop page on Wikipedia. Here are just a few of the hundreds of examples: Grapefruit, Banana, Broccoli, Wheat, Honey, Tomato, Avocado, Barley, Lemon, Sesame, Sugarcane, Soybean. Please stop reverting legitimate edits.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Brown rice into White rice. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 22:35, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
