ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Kempegowda International Airport

I have reverted your additions again. As explained in my edit summary, how Kingfisher fell and what it did is suitable to its article and not BLR. This is just ruining the quality of the article. I would also like to see it becoming a GA, but this content is just unsuitable for BLR. We need to talk about BLR in the article and not add details of what airlines are doing. There's a lot of cleanup required for the article in its present form. — LeoFrank  Talk 06:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

@LeoFrank: What cleanup/other edits do you see need to be made? - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 15:23, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Many of the sections need to be merged or re-organized. The article was far better organized prior to these changes IMO. — LeoFrank  Talk 15:33, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
@LeoFrank: Such as? Please give me specifics so that appropriate changes can be made prior to the GA review (although it won't be for a while). - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 15:39, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
The expansion section needs to be below the terminal section and the terminal section needs expansion. The "Other services" can be pushed below "Airlines and destinations". Cargo airlines section should be reverted to the previous format with the destinations. Awards and recognitions (only significant ones) need to be added back. Statistics section with a yearly statistics is undue in my opinion (can be discussed separately though as many articles seem to have this). — LeoFrank  Talk 15:57, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
OK, thanks, I will look into that. - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 16:23, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Edits to airport articles

Hi! I see that you are trying to take airport articles to GA and recently you took KIAL to GA. When you format the sources/references, please use appropriate cite tags such as news for news articles and report for reports. Though much of the differences have been eliminated b/w styles and it is not mandatory for GA, no harm in using the appropriate style as FA needs consistent citation style, if someone tries to take it up in the future.

Frontier Airlines LAS Focus City source

Here's proof that's LAS is a focus city for Frontier:

http://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/247448/frontier-increases-its-focus-on-atlanta/


And I also work for them at LAS. Robbie2448 (talk) 03:45, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

@Robbie2448: It does not say in that source that LAS is specifically a focus city. Unlike what it says here for IAD and here for CLE. Also note that focus cities appear as larger dots on Frontier's route map, while LAS does not. There is also some more discussion here. - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 21:52, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

SJO Airport Destination thumbnail maps

Hi @Sunnya343: I noticed you reverted a map I posted, as it was "too large and distracting". I agree, and I added a new proposal, adding them as GCMaps using thumbnails: Juan Santamaría International Airport. I spoke with another Wiki Editor, and he suggested me to use a similar approach like the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Hopefully, and upon your review, my edits can stay, as it brings visual aid. Regards, Luiscotiquicia (talk) 21:40, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Airport name

Why r u editing Hindi language Vijayapur club (talk) 02:11, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

@Vijayapur club: Only the local languages are put on the articles. See these examples: Rajahmundry Airport, Chennai International Airport, Guwahati Airport.
Also, do not change the names of the cities (e.g. Bangalore > Bengaluru). Editors have agreed to keep the old names for the time being, as the new names are not well known in the English-speaking world yet. See more reasons here. - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 03:56, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Logo of Kolkata Airport

Sir or Ma'am (whoever you are)! Are you a minister in Airports Authority of India ? What problem do you have with the logo of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport of Kolkata ? The site which you are referring to "non-official" mentions that logo and that site is clearly referred to as the official website in the article itself (see External Links). If there is no official website of any Indian airport, then why do Wikipedia articles of Mumbai Airport, Bangalore Airport, Hyderabad Airport (the list goes on) do show their respective logos from those so-called official websites (of course, "non-official" according to you) ? Why don't you remove them as well ?

According to your perception, neither of these sites may be the official sites:

(The logos in these sites are shown in the respective Wikipedia articles) You can't proclaim a site as non-official if you don't like it. I see you "damaged" the Wikipedia article of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport by removing many of the images including the logo. Please don't remove the logo unnecessarily from the page. And kindly don't give misleading claims to the editors in comments (as you did by calling official site of Kolkata airport "non-official" and unreliable). Regards.Vibhss (talk) 19:47, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

@Vibhss: This is simple. BLR, BOM, DEL, COK, HYD and NAG are all public private ventures between AAI and some private companies. The private stakeholders of each of these airports (except for NAG) create websites and logos for the airports. Meanwhile, not a single fully AAI owned airport (MAA, CJB, ATQ and many virtually all other airports in India) has its own website and logo.
Try googling the private airports mentioned above. You will see that their websites appear at the top of the list. However when googling 'Kolkata airport', this so called official website does not come up at all. This website was likely put together by some CCU enthusiasts who may have copied info from various AAI sources.
@Sunnya343: Why don't you sound like a diplomat ? Just because while googling, the search results don't show the website on top doesn't mean it is a fake site. What's the proof of the above mentioned airports' websites being designed or created by private stakeholders ? They can also be designed by "enthusiasts". Besides as I mentioned earlier, the official site of Kolkata airport shows logo of AAI at the bottom of its introductory page. (Anybody can show GVK or GMR logos on their sites just like logo of AAI has been shown on website of Kolkata Airport; that's according to your view) If it isn't an official site, even then if it has created a logo of airport, there is no problem in showing the logo on Wikipedia article. It doesn't violate any copyrights. At least we have a site that shows logo of that airport. Simple.Vibhss (talk) 12:41, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
@Vibhss: So can I create my own logo for Kolkata Airport and put it on the article? You are speaking nonsensically. This is some random unofficial website riddled with spelling and punctuation errors and empty pages saying 'Coming soon'. Not to mention the website shows outdated or the wrong logos for the airlines at CCU, for example United Airlines logo displaying for United Airways!
@Sunnya343: First mind your language please. (I am a guest at your talk page and just want to discuss something peacefully. Don't take offense) I am not saying anything "nonsensical". There is a logo of Airports Authority of India on the introductory webpage itself. Moreover, punctuation errors are common even in official websites. Sometimes, even official websites show old data which is not updated for long time. You yourself say there is not any official site of any Indian airport. The logos of other international Indian airports (joint ventures between AAI and some private companies) also have been taken from random "unofficial" websites. Peace. Vibhss (talk) 20:03, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
  • When googling "Kolkata airport" or "Calcutta airport", this website does not appear at the top of the search results nor on the next page, the page after that etc
  • The "Airport Info" page is copied entirely from the Wikipedia article.
  • Other pages include copying from other sites, for example part of the "About us" page is copied from this AAI document
  • The "Airlines" page displays false logos, for example Air China's for China Eastern's and United Airlines' for United Airways'
  • The site goes into lots of detail, for example see the lost and found page. I suppose the site is created by hardcore enthusiasts of this airport, some of whom are actually working there and can take photos and add information.
  • I don't find any mention of this site anywhere else on the web. I only found it through Wiki. Even the CAPA profile on this airport lists an AAI site as the official website for CCU.
  • Highly significant is that no AAI airport, apparently except for this one, has its own website. The private airports (BLR, DEL, BOM etc) have their own. But the purely AAI ones do not. Why did AAI spend time to make a highly detailed website (and even phone app) for Kolkata Airport when it operates so many other airports, including busier Chennai MAA?
  • Don't know if this is significant, but according to DomainTools.com, the site is registered at GoDaddy by a private company called Appsbee in Kolkata.

All in all, this appears to be a fan's website, not an official site and thus does not belong on the Wikipedia article. - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 13:35, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

It is interesting to note that www.aai.aero/allAirports/airports.jsp does not open the link claimed to be the official one for Kolkata Airport by clicking over the city, but it does for other important Indian airports, such as with newdelhiairport.in or csia.in.--Jetstreamer Talk 14:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Your explanation seems to be genuine Sunnaya343. I apologise for creating issue for all this. But my motive was just to improve the page.Vibhss (talk) 22:01, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
But again my question is, can logo of AAI be used so openly by any site? Because that site shows the AAI logo. Please answer me.Vibhss (talk) 22:08, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
Thanks @Jetstreamer: for that, it is important to note. @Vibhss: Anyone can copy and paste a logo onto their website, but of course it isn't allowed. This website is trying to appear like it is the official website made by AAI, per the "About us" and "Contact us" pages. But based on the DomainTools information, we can see that that is not the case. I wonder if AAI even knows about this site, considering I only found it through the Wiki article. - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 06:17, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Bata Airport

Hi Sunnya343, I restored the external links on Bata Airport and tagged the dead link. We wouldn't have much of a 'pedia were we to depend only on 'official' sources. OurAirports and Fallingrain are just as official as Great Circle Mapper and Google Maps, which is to say that none of the sources used on that page are 'official.' However, any information from those sources that I used on Bata Airport is verified, which is the only criteria that counts. Cptmrmcmillan (talk) 01:22, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

@Cptmrmcmillan: I guess I didn't mean "official" but "reliable". OurAirports can be edited by anyone, and Falling Rain just says it is "based on many public sources of information"... It feels like citing another Wiki article on a Wiki article. If you see the external links section at McCarran International Airport for example, all of those are by government sources or reputable companies. - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 03:47, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Indic script transliterations in airport infoboxes

Heya! I see you've followed my lead by adding transliterations for the various airports across India. Just wanted to thank you for doing so, and saving me a lot of work in the process :P Tiger7253 (talk) 03:22, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

@Tiger7253: No problem, I noticed that Chinese airport articles had transliterations, so why not Indian airport articles. It is also useful to the reader to see what the Indic script actually reads. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 16:57, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Edit warrring in Thattekere

Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 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. 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.

DYK nomination of LaMia

Just to let you know, given the work you, I and others have put into LaMia (a new article), I've nominated it for Did You Know and proposed two hooks, none of which deal with the crash. You can read the nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/LaMia. Raymie (t • c) 00:19, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Your proposed move of LaMia

As an admin I sometimes take action on the requests at WP:RMTR. You proposed a move. Some people have opposed this. How would you feel about withdrawing your move request? Otherwise I should probably create a full Requested move discussion which would take a week. We only disambiguate when it seems there are (or could be in the future) two articles to be distinguished. If it seems likely there will never be an article on LaMia (Venezuela) then there is not much reason to have the present article move to LaMia (Bolivia).

@28bytes: Actually, I think the article title should remain Barrow, Alaska for the time being. Bangalore was officially renamed Bengaluru on November 1, 2014. The article title remains Bangalore because of WP:COMMONNAME and other reasons. You will see on the talk page that move requests to Bengaluru have been filed multiple times, but consensus remains for the most commonly used name in the English language as of 2016, Bangalore. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 01:36, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
If you are looking for a naming convention precedent, you don't need to go all the way to India: Denali is a more appropriate (and more recent) comparison.

Khabarovsk Airlines Russian-language source

"краевое государственное унитарное предприятие" indeed means "regional state unitary enterprise". I'm going through the history right now ... I may want to get a hard-copy dictionary. Daniel Case (talk) 06:35, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

OK, the history page mainly discusses the airline's growth in terms of planes/pilots it had and how many flights it flew. It says nothing about the organizational structure. I would assume you are correct that it was set up and wholly owned by the state ... that was how they did things back in the USSR, and especially in Stalins's time. Daniel Case (talk) 06:41, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Actually the airline was set up in 2004. I think this is the key paragraph: В 2004 году на основании распоряжения правительства Хабаровского края на базе Николаевского авиационного отряда, было учреждено КГУП «Хабаровские авиалинии», одно из основных авиапредприятий в Хабаровском крае. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 06:47, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

DYK for LaMia

On 1 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article LaMia, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that when it leased the planes of a failed Venezuelan airline, a Bolivian company retained the name LaMia to avoid the cost of repainting the aircraft? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/LaMia. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, LaMia), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello @MitchellLunger: Still, a base is not always a focus city; and it could even be a hub. British Airways bases its aircraft at Heathrow; is Heathrow a focus city for the airline? Regarding Southwest, they do not designate any of their cities as hubs or focus cities (their fact sheet). They do have crew bases, though.

Are flags of countries allowed in airline destination lists??

Flags make the page even more creative and colours should be used in the table where Country, Destination, Airports, Notes and Reference section. If the MOS Rules prohibit this, then why the edits according to MOS rules are not edited on other airline destination lists like Emirates and others. Some say flags are prohibited but in many airline destinations there are flags. These things make a sense as it makes the page even more creative.

Mangalore Airport

A few days back I reverted the irrational move of this article to Mangalore International Airport. It was moved back again by CodePanda on 12 January. The RM was also closed as non controversial and you and I know that newspaper articles don't serve as references to names of airport articles at least in India as they refer to any name as per their will. For some odd reason, an admin declined my G6 delete to revert the move which again doesn't seem to rationalize in any way. My question here would be if it is right to revert to Mangalore Aiport or to rename the article as Mangaluru Aiport per AAI. — LeoFrank  Talk 17:36, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

@LeoFrank: I am leaning towards the official name, "Mangaluru Airport." However, "Mangaluru" might seem odd because the article for the city is still entitled "Mangalore." In that case, perhaps the title could be changed to "Mangalore airport" with a lowercase "a." I say this because "Mangalore Airport" is not a proper name. What do you think? — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 17:58, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
Well I thought the lowercase 'a' in airport applies only when you are not referring to the original name, for eg, it would be Bangalore airport. Lowercase would not be applied to airport names that have their city served in their official names. I guess this is what was discussed in WT:AIRPORT.
I am leaning towards Mangaluru Airport as well but with a capital A. — LeoFrank  Talk 18:04, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Adding the text from the reference you gave sums up that it has to be Mangaluru Airport.

airport Capitalize as part of a proper name: LaGuardia Airport, O'Hare International Airport.

The first name of an individual and the word international may be deleted from a formal airport name while the remainder is capitalized: John F. Kennedy International Airport, Kennedy International Airport, or Kennedy Airport. Use whichever is appropriate in the context.

Do not make up names, however. There is no Boston Airport, for example. The Boston airport (lowercase airport) would be acceptable if for some reason the proper name, Logan International Airport, were not used.

Newark International Airport was renamed Newark Liberty International Airport after Sept. 11.

— LeoFrank  Talk 18:10, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
"Well I thought the lowercase 'a' in airport applies only when you are not referring to the original name." True. In this case, the original/official name is Mangaluru Airport per AAI – capital A indeed. Mangalore Airport is not, so airport would have to be lowercase I feel. The opposite situation can be seen with Cochin International Airport. Cochin International Airport is the official name, so everything is capitalized. But Kochi international airport and Kochi airport are not. Perhaps I'm only nitpicking...
I would be fine with Mangaluru Airport, my only problem being that the city article is still entitled "Mangalore" per the common name. That's why I brought up Mangalore airport as an alternative. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 18:33, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
City name still being Mangalore shouldn't be a problem since the BLR article name was Bengaluru International Airport until it was officially renamed as Kempegowda International Airport on 14 December 2013. So, I'll go ahead and move the article to Mangaluru Airport.. — LeoFrank  Talk 16:17, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
@LeoFrank: True, that makes sense. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 18:58, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi @LeoFrank:, as per this logic shouldn't Kempegowda International Airport be Bangalore International Airport? --<CodePanda/>

@CodePanda: For BLR, the official name is Kempegowda International and the page in AAI website is not updated. Unfortunately, AAI basically just names airports as per some odd fashion. This weird thing is not limited to just naming but also declaring the role of the airport. AAI declared Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport as an international when there are just two flights. There are some specifications per IATA and ICAO, not just in terms of the passenger terminal, but it also includes the runway, number of international destinations and also the numbers of international passengers flying to and fro an airport.

For BLR, the official site of the airport mentions the correct name. In case of aiports that are fully owned by AAI like IXE, the only source is AAI website. I am pretty sure, the official name is still Mangalore Airport. Some users think if an airport becomes international, it automatically implies addition of the word International to its name. This is one big headache for airports in India. There was a time when we could access IATA database of airports and I did notice a huge conflict in the names of some airports. Unfortunately, they have now made this database accessible only on a subscription basis. PS: I may have gone an extra mile to bore you with all these intricacies that we face with Indian airports, but that's the problem right now. — LeoFrank  Talk 15:30, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

How do you show other users that you have created a page?

Hi Sunnya343, I want to know that when you create an airline page, what you type in the edit summary box to show that you created that page? Regards-- FlyJet777 (talk) 15:30, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

@FlyJet777: The fact that you created a page is already obvious, as the article's revision history will show that you made the first edit. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 19:27, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Yes that's right. But I have seen the pages you have created and after creating what you typed in the edit summary box that shows : (<- Created page...........) how do you do that? What do you type there? Thank you!FlyJet777 (talk) 05:59, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
@FlyJet777: I believe that text appeared because I "created a new article directly" here. Although, if you are a new editor, it is recommended that you use the Articles for Creation process here. In any case, I personally don't think it matters what it says in the edit summary when you create a page! What's important is that a new article has been added. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 01:31, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Yes. You are saying absolutely right. The most important thing is that a new article is added. Thank You very much for your response! Regards-- FlyJet777 (talk) 09:31, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Sepehran Airlines

Hello. I saw your message on HistoryofIran's talkpage. Both of the links contain exactly the same content, they are mirror of each other. The news article is saying that more than one year ago, there were some whispers about a new airline named "Sepehran". With the previous CEO, there were few hopes, but on the 11th month of 1395 SH, a new CEO came in office and he accelerated the process of receiving the necessary licenses. On the last month of 1394 SH, he got the necessary licenses from Iran Civil Aviation Organization. On 20 Tir 1395 SH, the chief of CAO.IRI signed Sepehran's operational license and the people of Fars province now have their own airline. Now, in Tehran only, more than 100 personnel are working for this new airline, and soon more than 200 personnel from the natives of Fars province will be employed. Sepehran's "organizational color" is orange and its logo is inspired by the mythical bird ghoghnus (قُقْنوس). Sepehran has 5 airliner. This map shows its flight paths. Red lines show the first group of internal flights and the green lines show the second group. The first group include flights from Shiraz to Mashhad, Tehran, Tabriz, Zahedan, Bandar Abbas, Chabahar and the same time, from Tehran to Mashahd, Shiraz and Ahvaz. The second group include flights from Shiraz to Isfahan, Kerman, Kish, Ahvaz, Abadan, Lar, Lamerd, Kharg Island, Gachsaran and Bahregan. I hope this is useful. Let me know if I may be of any help! -- Mazandar (talk) 04:30, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

@Mazandar: My apologies for the late response. Thank you very much for doing this, it is very useful! I have been a bit busy off-wiki lately but will work on incorporating this information into the article. I had a question; do the red lines indicate the destinations to which Sepehran Airlines is currently flying?
Also I found two articles published recently which appear to be from reliable sources: here and here. Would you mind skimming these and stating any new/different information? I hope I am not asking for too much; please take your time if you need. Thank you very much again! — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 02:54, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Response

Dear user, this is the response to your request on my talk page.

Kojaro.com says:

  • In Feb, 2016, a new CEO was appointed, facilitating the process of acquiring the necessary warrants.
  • On Jul 10, 2016, the final warrant was signed, making the Sepehran airline the first local airline in Fars Province.
  • On Jan 31, 2017, the first plane took off.
  • The official logo is orange and has a phoenix.
  • The airline has five planes.
  • It has two phases of flying routes inside Iran.

Cann.ir has an older version of the first article. --HamedH94 (talk) 04:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Disruptive edit on Mumbai Airport

Well, you removed the entire Cargo subsection from "Airlines & Destination" section of page Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport citing reason for it to be unsourced. What kind of reference this section needs ? I don't think "Passenger" and "Cargo" subsections of "Airlines & Destination" section of any airport article need any reference to any destination as long as already scheduled flights (for passenger) and scheduled cargo operate to those destinations. Reference are needed when a new flight is commencing operations on a given date or when a scheduled flight is ending operation again on a given date. References may be needed for some "exceptional" destinations or new passenger/ cargo airlines or new subsidiaries of existing airlines but not for all. See the airport articles of other busiest airports in India and even world. See these articles: Beijing Capital International Airport, Miami International Airport, Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Amsterdam Airport, Istanbul Atatürk Airport, London Heathrow Airport and countless others (almost all major airport articles don't provide references for most cargo airlines/ destinations). So, are you going to remove Cargo section from all these articles ?

I think you intended to remove the following subsection "Busiest International Routes from Mumbai" as it was completely unsourced and it definitely needed sources. I would have agreed with its removal but first would have tried to find sources for that. Before removing an entire section, we must look for all possibilities of validating the data in that section But perhaps you mistakenly removed the entire Cargo section. Even if that is the case, you are on fault. You didn't even saw the page after saving your edits. Such mistakes from auto-confirmed editors is totally unacceptable. This is sheer vandalism. I had a long debate with you earlier on the issue of logo of Kolkata Airport and you were definitely right at that time which I came to realize later. But this time, you are definitely wrong and you have done a big blunder. Well, I have reverted your edit and currently I am looking for sources for "Busiest International Routes from Mumbai". If I don't find them, I'll remove the unsourced section for sure. If you intentionally removed the Cargo subsection as would be known for sure by your future edits on article, you are surely going to be proceeded against for vandalism. Besides being destructive, your edit was simply meaningless. Just read the policies and notability guidelines of Wikipedia first before giving lectures on these. Vibhss (talk) 11:12, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Vibhss, my apologies for the late response. I do wonder, though, you have written on my talk page in order to have a discussion, no? Because the tone you are using here and have previously used on my talk page does not make me feel as though you wish actually to discuss. I am only willing to have a discussion as long as it is WP:CIVIL.
WT:AIRPORTS cautions strongly against the airlines-and-destinations table for cargo airlines. The tables are difficult to reference and are of questionable notability. Also, the WP:BURDEN is not on me to find references for the table. I removed it, but anyone can go into the article's history and re-add it with reliable references. Although, as I said, the table is of questionable notability.
Regarding your point on cargo tables in other airport articles, kindly read WP:OSE. I don't have the time to edit all those articles. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 01:07, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi. So I don't know what's up but I find it rather odd that you don't edit on JetBlue Airways, or at least not since September of last year, and as soon as I make an edit, you swoop in at make changes to edits I make. Not that I disagree with your edit but this isn't the first time something like this has happened. I don't know if you're just following my edits but can you maybe back off me a little.

JetLite

JetLite is dead since 25 March 2012. It was merged into JetKonnect, the low-cost brand of Jet Airways. JetKonnect was further dropped to move to a full-service model. Please do read the references cited in Merger with JetKonnect section. I don't think CH Aviation is a reliable source. — LeoFrank  Talk 16:01, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

LeoFrank, it was stated in 2012 that, "Jet Airways (India) Ltd and JetLite (India) Ltd will continue as distinct business entities operating under their own airline operating permits" (source). It appears that JetLite (India) Ltd began to operate under the JetKonnect brand in March 2012. "Jet acquired Air Sahara in 2007 and re-branded it as JetLite to compete with low-cost airlines. The subsidiary airline underwent re-branding once again in 2012 and was renamed Jet Konnect. [...] The airline had hoped the re-branding of JetLite as Konnect would help improve its yields and attract a pie of premium traffic" (source).
Now Jet Airways is working to merge JetLite (India) Ltd into itself (source, published Apr 2016). However, it appears that JetLite (India) Ltd's air operator's certificate will remain (source).
Ultimately, JetLite (India) Ltd is still operating - its air operator's certificate with codes S2/JLL/LITE JET remains in effect. The brand name is JetKonnect (so the article may need some editing). While Jet Airways and JetKonnect have the same full-service brand, and while Jet Airways does not nominally distinguish between the two, JetKonnect is still functioning. It even appears in the website timetable (open the PDF at this link and do a ctrl-F/command-F search for JetKonnect).
On another note, why do you find ch-aviation unreliable? Here is their 'About' page. I find them incredibly useful for obtaining quality, reliable information on airlines and airports all over the world. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 02:19, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Air India destinations

Hi Sunnya343. I have revamped the Air India destinations table with more information and sources. I have added the terminated destinations and its reference is listed there. If you revert my edits on the same then before editing please inform me on my talk page. :) The table is not long. I wish you will not revert my edit. Thank You! FlyJet777 (talk) 14:22, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

FlyJet777, your edits violate MOS:OVERLINK and MOS:ACCESS. Also, I would argue that terminated destinations are not notable, but that is not consensus, so you can add them. However, I strongly believe your edits should be reverted as they violate core Wikipedia policies. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 00:59, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Sunnya343. If you find that my edits should be reverted then first let me read MOS:OVERLINK and MOS:ACCESS. Then I will try not to overlink the page and make the page easier to read by any user. But till then please don't revert it. I hope you will understand. Thank You! FlyJet777 (talk) 08:20, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

FlyJet777, it really is not my problem that you were not familiar with these policies beforehand. The table was already easy-to-read and compliant with Wikipedia policy before you instituted these changes. Also, I notice you are adding many terminated destinations without any reference whatsoever. This is not permitted per WP:V. How can you ask an editor not to revert your edit when it violates Wikipedia guidelines? I don't know what I am waiting for. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 16:23, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello again Sunnya343. I have also noticed that when I had not instituted the edits, for the timetable reference, you had provided only one source. What about that. If I add the sources to all terminated destinations then you will say it is overlinking as per MOS:OVERLINK, now if I have also added the same then you are saying it doesn't complying with Wikipedia policies and WP:V. I am not able to understand what you are actually trying to convey. Like you I am also here to improve articles of Wikipedia. If you find that something has to be added or removed, tell me, I will try to improve it. I have read through MOS:ACCESS. The article is easy enough for viewers to read, navigate etc. FlyJet777 (talk) 16:59, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

FlyJet777, I think you are misreading MOS:OVERLINK. This policy warns against adding too many links to other Wikipedia articles, for example Andhra Pradesh → [[Andhra Pradesh]] in the table - not against adding too many references. (That would be WP:OVERCITE.)
The table violates MOS:ACCESS because of the unnecessary colors, e.g. of the top row. You may have noticed a color change on the infobox for airport articles. That was instituted because of MOS:ACCESS. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 17:22, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Ok so then I am editing the destinations now to comply with MOS:OVERLINK. Thanks for making me understand about this. But, can you explain why the colors are unnecessary? FlyJet777 (talk) 18:05, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

I have complyed it with as per MOS:OVERLINK now check the table is it ok? FlyJet777 (talk) 18:05, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

FlyJet777, no, really only the airports need to be linked. They are the destinations after all. A reader can go to the airport article and proceed from there if he or she wishes to learn more about the city/country in which the airport is located. I really suggest we go back to this revision; terminated destinations can be added in a separate table.
As far as MOS:ACCESS, take a look at the infobox example I provided earlier. Also, the main hub/focus city/etc. colors are redundant, as a description of these destinations already is found in the Notes column. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 22:51, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

I reverted your edit because the fleet gallery provided encyclopedic value to the article. People who don't know a lot about aviation see all the different aircraft operated by Delta, they had suitable captions with links, and corresponded to the current fleet. From WP:GALLERY "The images in the gallery collectively must have encyclopedic value and add to the reader's understanding of the subject. Images in a gallery should be suitably captioned to explain their relevance both to the article subject and to the theme of the gallery, and the gallery should be appropriately titled (unless the theme of the gallery is clear from the context of the article). Images in a gallery should be carefully selected, avoiding similar or repetitive images, unless a point of contrast or comparison is being made. Just as we seek to ensure that the prose of an article is clear, precise and engaging, galleries should be similarly well-crafted. See 1750–75 in Western fashion for an example of a good use of galleries."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Aviation/Style_guide#Fleet No images should be included in lists of aircraft, this is not what lists are for.

"Images should not be placed before a list such that they push it downwards from its section heading or page title in mobile browsers or shrink it sideways in desktop browsers. Such images should either be placed elsewhere, for example to a gallery (but see WP:GALLERY), or not included."

The inclusion of a fleet gallery is arguably necessary for airline articles. --PlanespotterA320 (talk) 15:25, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

PlanespotterA320, thank you for coming to my talk page; I was wary at first when I didn't see an edit summary for the revert. I understand the explanation you have provided. While the gallery seems excessive for me (e.g. images of the 737-700, -800, and -900; of the 757-200 and -300) - I feel as though one image of a narrowbody and one of a widebody could suffice - I suppose this is not consensus. Regards. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 16:32, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
I disagree that one image of a narrowbody and one of a widebody could suffice--Delta has operated many different aircraft over time, inheriting different varients from mergers... Delta operates a variety of narrowbody and widebody aircraft, two images would not suffice. As for the different varients, each varient has a different role in the domestic fleet. (ex, Southwest operates 737-300, 737-700s, and 737-800s. To imply they just use one standard aircraft type would be misleading. I guess it could be condenses to 737 NEX Gen, but remember that Wikipedia is read by everyone, not just experts in one field, the ordinary person doesn't know the difference between a 737-700 and a 737-800)--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 17:53, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
PlanespotterA320, I don't think it is misleading, as there is already a table or paragraph listing the different types of aircraft that the airline operates. The emphasis here is on the prose, not on the images. If a person wants to know the difference between the aircraft, they can click on the article link to see as many pictures as they want of that aircraft. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 22:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
Misleading wasn't the right word, I meant confusing. And Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, there is nothing providing more information.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 23:13, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Regarding your recent edits on Air India Regional destinations.

Hello Sunnya343. I saw your recent edits on Air India Regional destinations page. I admit that the Surat information was mistakenly deleted by me. But, as you stated that Hindustan Times source does not clarifies that the Delhi to Chandigarh to Kullu flight will be operated by Air India Regional, I think you already know this Air India's A320s can't land in Kullu Airport because of its narrow runway. And also Air India Regional operates to remote areas of India. So it is clear that the flight will be operated by Air India Regional. I am reverting your edits as of now.

INDICSCRIPTS

Hi Sunnya343, WP:INDICSCRIPT only applies to WP:LEDE, not to WP:INFOBOX. I am against removing Indic scripts from infoboxes, especially in geographical articles where there was a strong opnion that they should contain the name in state language. Note that geo infoboxes contain a "native name" parameter on purpose! Thanks. — kashmiri TALK 09:32, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello Kashmiri, we had this discussion about two months ago. Is there some reason you have changed your mind? Regards — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 05:13, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
That was about an airport, which is something in between a geographic place and a business and where English language rules. But I did not really mean proper locality names. Having original name, in local script like on traffic signs, offers a lot of added value to the reader. For many localities in India, English spelling can be ambiguous and only local script identifies the locality unabmiguously (to illustrate the point, tell me please where Kutwa is situated). — kashmiri TALK 22:10, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Kashmiri, this may be your opinion, but the RfC is clear on this. "All other sections do not meet a level of consensus needed to pass." If you are interested you can start a new discussion or RfC on the issue of Indic scripts with regards to geographical articles. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 16:29, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
Absolutely. So, the consensus was to use only IPA in the lead section. Note this RfC applied only to lead section. There is no consensus on removing scripts from infoboxes, templates, etc. As templates allow adding native names, I see no reason to now go and remove them, especially from geo infoboxes. But feel free to start a RfC if you like. — kashmiri TALK 20:31, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
Kashmiri, I will quote myself from our previous discussion: "To me, adding languages to the infobox sets us up for the conflicts that led to the WP:INDICSCRIPT discussion. Also, it should be noted that the "native name" field in the infobox predates WP:INDICSCRIPT." — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 00:59, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
Either we discuss the wider problem that led to the RfC, including applicability to infoboxes and any bearing the policy would have on geographic names, or we stick to the RfC letter, forget about the discussion in "all other sections" and also forget about anything but lead. Your choice. Simply, you cannot pick from RfC only the bits you need. — kashmiri TALK 01:55, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Kashmiri I don't understand. I'm basing my actions off of the conclusion of the RfC – that is what ultimately matters, no? "All other sections do not meet a level of consensus needed to pass." What more is there? — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 02:02, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm really sorry, but I have to jump in here. The exact text of the section WP:INDICSCRIPT is not holy, and it does not address geographic names in infoboxes at all. Furthermore, it was pretty clear from the RfC discussion that users largely support Indic names for geographic entities even in the leads. In fact, based on comparison with other geographic/political territory articles (see Switzerland, Singapore) with multiple languages, the standard clearly seems to be that the infobox include the native names even when the lead doesn't. (Some/all? of the articles you edited don't fall only under the purview of Wikiproject India, they have other considerations too.) I think it should be uncontroversial for us to agree to put native names in the infoboxes but not touch the leads. ʙʌsʌwʌʟʌ тʌʟк 05:00, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
Basawala, don't feel sorry, anyone is welcome to comment. WP:INDICSCRIPT may not be "holy," but it is policy as part of the Manual of Style. The RfC conclusion states that there simply was not enough consensus for the sections other than that on writing the IPA in the lede. (Of course, a new discussion or RfC could be held to talk about this.) Also, remember that the whole reason for the RfC was to avoid bickering over which Indic language to include in an article. Adding Indic scripts to the infobox but not the lede still means there is the potential for bickering over which Indic scripts to write in the infobox. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 05:13, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
You're right, the result of the RfC was that there isn't consensus for other sections in general (nor in the lead for that matter, but the policy of removing scripts in the lead wasn't the result of consensus, but of lack of consensus, only because this was controversial). But there's no need to remove native names which are uncontroversial and do not cause POV problems, such as those of geographic entities, which generally have official languages areestablished for them. In fact, the official language(s) are sometimes specified in the same infoboxes from which you're removing the native names (for example, Karnataka). For all of the articles you've removed native names from, you'd have to first establish that choice of the Indic script name(s) you're removing are controversial, and then to establish that a consensus can't be reached on which to include. So far I haven't seen that. You're removing scripts because of "potential for bickering", but this is resulting in actual "bickering". What I mean is that the choice of having no Indic script on an infobox is much more controversial than having some specific set of scripts. ʙʌsʌwʌʟʌ тʌʟк 05:42, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
Also a technicality: WP:INDICSCRIPTS is in fact not policy as part of the Manual of Style, it hasn't been moved to a WP:MOS subpage yet. ʙʌsʌwʌʟʌ тʌʟк 05:49, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict) I'll have to agree with both Basawala and Kashmiri. I came here to point out this misapplication and looks like they've already done it. Removing it from the infobox in such articles by citing something which says in the it only applies to lead and has exceptions doesn't look good. I would like to know what policy as you referring to? As such the most you'll get about foreign terms is a vague "Use it but sparingly" from the MOS guideline, that's it. Anything concerning the Infobox is even more sparse.
If you look at the archives in WT:INB whenever a new user raises this issue, the general application of it is to prevent edit wars not cause them. By removing it from pretty straightforward cases like Mumbai, you're simply causing a potential dispute and pretty much wasting your time, as someone will re-add it back; no one is likely going to support your removal because it doesn't cover it. We're all pretty reasonable editors here and not the hotheaded language warriors whose disruption this RFC was made to subdue. That's why I didn't bother to revert you (FYI I watch Kerala, Mumbai and Maharashtra) but I'm just here to tell you don't expect to cite this RFC in your arguments. Hearing from what others say, this RFC is useful to prevent edit warring at BLPs who have mixed ethnic heritage or some geographic locations as well (see Pondicherry). The issue of clutter affects the lead primarily compared to the infobox.
Another thing is even if you want maybe start a discussion to remove it from the infobox as well, etiquette would be to take it on a case-by-case basis, discuss it on each of those articles and get consensus--I mean this for any change like this where you cannot just apply to all concerned articles due to lack of any guidelines or RFCs to support you. Going to each article of that category and enforcing this where you've probably never worked on and aren't aware of issues pertaining it (like some other Indian state or city) and applying your change without much discussion will likely ruffle a lot of people's feathers. Or best is just start a discussion whether an RFC would be appropriate (going by what goes on at WT:INB, people will likely discourage you, as not many have an appetite to revisit this for the nth time). There was a case where a sockpuppet decided suddenly that infobox images in Indian states were wrong and went ahead mass removing them citing vaguely the MOS (it doesn't btw), don't get me wrong, I hate infoboxes, scripts etc and the lame edit warring they cause but on this instance at Kerala and Maharashtra, I and a two other editors had discussed the image selection among other things some time ago. And then you had this fellow, enforcing his own arbitrary change, so I was forced to intervene.
I'm mainly saying this because recently another experienced editor misapplied this the very same way, causing a new user to start "revenge-editing" and doing the same on all other articles besides his own article where he got reverted. This was highlighted on the user's talk page and again, many editors from WP:INDIA were pinged to weigh in supporting the very same thing. I can't recall the link at the moment but if you want can dig it up it if you insist. I don't know how to make INDICSCRIPTS clearer, it says only lead, adding a note clarifying that seems redundant. To what you're doing, putting these above points in mind, to still knock yourself out removing them and they don't care. I'm concerned though, that time is being wasted and unnecessary disputes are going to be caused, hence my long post. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 06:22, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
Basawala and Ugog Nizdast, I thought WP:INDICSCRIPT was part of the MOS because it is under the heading "Manual of Style" at WP:INDIA. As far as the relevance of WP:INDICSCRIPT only to BLPs and the like, it does say that exceptions only "are articles on the script itself, or on a language that uses the script." Also, what is the fundamental difference between the lead and the infobox? Is it not odd to allow Indic script in the infobox but not in the lead sentence? That sounds contradictory or whatever the word is. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 02:09, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

That is a good catch, will fix the misleading MOS header for it, should be rather uncontroversial but posted anyway at WT:INB#Placement of INDICSCRIPTS in the project page. The actual MOS is the link given there going to MOS:INDIA (you'd be surprised to know, this MOS talks about how to put scripts in a page rather than discouraging), but this RFC doesn't belong there. It may sound odd, they have similar roles but they are very different; infoboxes are relatively new and more cosmetic wherehas leads have been a fundamental part of an article. There are lot of MOS and guidelines on writing leads but barely anything in about infoboxes (heck, they're not even compulsory on a given page). I think related links for this has been provided in by others in this section. The RFC was pretty specific and they usually are; it's lower than a guideline (also in terms of consensus). See the levels of consensus and about difference in policies, guidelines at WP:CONSENSUS and WP:PGL. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 06:51, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I think we all agree the decision was to apply the policy to leads. There's absolutely no need to go beyond that, or to philosophise about the difference between leads and infoboxes, given that the whole point of the RfC decision was to prevent POV issues when the choice of the script(s) is contentious, which is not the case for geographic infoboxes generally. In fact, we've probably all seen the arguments why geographic articles ought to have script (and basically all non-Roman script geographic entities do, at least outside of the India-related removed ones); I'd say that most users support that even in WP India, from reading the RfC and followup. But given the broad scope of the RfC decision now under WP:INDIA MOS (and potentially MOS), the script belongs to the infobox, and in fact should be there. It's one thing to be technical about a rule in place, it's another to overextend the rule in a way that's either intended or conflicts with other principles. ʙʌsʌwʌʟʌ тʌʟк 14:42, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Please stop invoking WP:INDICSCRIPT in infoboxes, such as on pages about airports. You're still doing so after Ugog Nizdast asked you not to. We have already established that WP:INDICSCRIPT does not have scope over infoboxes. Feel free to remove scripts on such pages, but do not describe your edits as WP:INDICSCRIPT. (In fact, please stop invoking WP:INDICSCRIPT in general, for removal of scripts in infoboxes. There's pretty strong consensus that they belong on geographic entities (and this is the practice outside of India-related geographic entity infoboxes anyways), which I'm reverting, but I right now won't revert your edits on airport pages.) ʙʌsʌwʌʟʌ тʌʟк 04:43, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

The consensus seemed to have been that it applied to infoboxes—you're the first to challenge this that I've seen (except for me). I have no strong opinion, either way. El_C 19:22, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
From this discussion above, it should be clear that there is no such consensus. ʙʌsʌwʌʟʌ тʌʟк 19:47, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Undo of edits to remove "safety standard" of Alliance Airlines page. Content has been edited to remove marketing jargon. Safety information is based solely on facts and accreditation as per the references used. The basis that 'all airlines are safe' is an assumption, and doesn't provide wiki users information of what specifically makes an airline safe. This information gives wiki users a starting point if they are interested into looking further into it. Providing users more information shouldn't be disregarded based on an assumption that 'all airlines are safe'. Not all wiki users who visit this page will have an understanding of the safety requirements of an airline and as a collaborative encyclopedia we endeavor to educate as best as possible. Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the

edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Anna FA, I would suggest you take a look at other airline articles to see the type of information that is included in an encyclopedia like Wikipedia. Again, pretty much all normal airlines – Qantas, Virgin Australia, Singapore Airlines, etc. – maintain high safety standards and undergo "regular safety and compliance audits"; that is why thousands of people fly with these airlines every day. This information is not so noteworthy as to warrant inclusion in the encyclopedia. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 23:42, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Could you keep an eye on this editor's contribs? They seem to be very interested in glorifying Chennai Airport across their edits by adding false information. — LeoFrank  Talk 17:16, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
