Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edits to General Mariano Escobedo International Airport and Aerounion – Aerotransporte de Carga Union removed content from Wikipedia. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

Re your recent edits to the articles mentioned above, per WP:CITE, where did you get that info from? Mjroots (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Earth Quack Data is Official

official link of Earthquack. Why you removed. http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=466583. Dont you think it harassment??

if earth quack is recorded why you not allow me to increase numbers??

The page data are based on USGS data, not on EMSC, you can ass EMSC data on the quake page 2015_Afghanistan_earthquake. Thanks

That is okay. but Why you removed total number of earthquak.

14 is already including the 2015_Afghanistan_earthquake so that's why we don't increase to 15.

Okay Thanks. And I added USGC Ref Data. Now you okay?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arpin22 (talk • contribs) 12:09, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Now i have added USGS.Gov Link for Reference. why do you removed?? is there any problem? you added "Not necessary to duplicate a reference already existing)". This is not reason to removed Reference link which is valid. Right. Now Stop this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arpin22 (talk • contribs) 07:09, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@Arpin22: Hello, first you can discuss issue on a particular page on the Talk page of the specific page so that anybody can see it: Talk:List of earthquakes in 2015. Secondly the link you have added is already on the page tight after "A magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck Afghanistan 45 km (28 mi) north of `Alaqahdari-ye Kiran wa Munjan village, Kuran wa Munjan district, Badakhshan province on October 26 at a depth of 212.5 km (132.0 mi)." which is the standard for this page. If you introduce new references elsewhere on the page this should be discussed and agreed on the specific Talk page, keeping in mind we should add it for all the earthquakes and not specifically for one earthquake and that we'll have to maintain duplicate sources updated all across the page. I hope this helps. Wykx (talk) 09:02, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@Wykx: Its like acceptable now. for valid reason. Thanks.

Tibet is not the same place as China

Tibet is not the same place as China. Tibet was stolen by China in 1950. Re this edit, you are misrepresenting the source which clearly says "Tibet". 86.150.91.187 (talk) 16:14, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

List of ongoing armed conflicts

Hi! Can I ask you how you obtained the 5,798 figure for the 2014 death toll in Ukraine? In the new report you cited I can only find the total for 2014-2015 (7,883), and the 2014 box still cites the December 2014 report saying 4,771 people had been killed so far. There's also a problem in your update of the 2013-14 chart: the number of countries compared must be the same for both years, whereas it seems you included 20 countries in the 2014 bar instead of 17 as in the 2013 bar, and just 15 countries in the area chart on the right. Anyway, thanks for your frequent updates! Nykterinos (talk) 20:15, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

@Nykterinos: Actually I admit this edit could be reverted. For 2015, I took the August 2015 figure of 2058 then I added the 27 casualties of September obtaining then 2085. The rest I put it on 2014 but I don't really know how much of the revised figure is for 2014 knowing that 2014 represented 5/7 of the total. So for the time being I haven't found a source to breakdown the new total by year.

Concerning the graph, if your source file is easier to update than mine, could you update it once the Ukraine figure is agreed? In the meantime, I see no objection that you revert mine.Wykx (talk) 22:28, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

I see. In my opinion, if the breakdown by year isn't provided by secondary sources, we should stick to the 2014 source for 2014 and put the rest in 2015, until a clearer breakdown is available. I can easily update the chart then. Nykterinos (talk) 23:06, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

@Nykterinos:I have found this article which shows quite clearly that initial 2014 UN figures were underestimated. [1] Please take a look until the end of the article and tell me what do you think? Wykx (talk) 23:42, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

You're probably right that the total provided now by the UN includes a death toll revised upwards for 2014, as you can read here: "The increases in the numbers of casualties between the different reporting dates do not necessarily mean that these casualties happened between these dates: they could have happened earlier, but were recorded by a certain reporting date." Unfortunately, however, the latest UN report doesn't distinguish between 2014 and 2015, so we can't determine how much its December 2014 figure has been revised upwards. Therefore, I would suggest not changing it unless UN sources themselves provide the breakdown by year. Using different sources from the UN is not a solution, since they are not so reliable and they can't be combined with UN sources. Nykterinos (talk) 00:14, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

@Nykterinos: Thank you for the link to the full report. So I update 2014 back to previous figures and include all new reported casualties into 2015.Wykx (talk) 00:37, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Hopefully, one of the next UN reports will clarify the revision of the 2014 death toll. Nykterinos (talk) 10:07, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Explain yourself

In our now long discussion over the starting point of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, you stated "I will not revert the date" as you are "open to more insights", it seems you did exactly what you said you would not do. Can you explain your doings? Not only your actions come in contrast with your statement, it is also rude as it ignores the fact we are having a discussion precisely on this matter. Moreover, this change doesn't make any sense as im detailing you for days now why 1949 is not the starting point of the conflict. Either you just don't read anything been said in the conversation (which makes you ineligible to edit) or you have some serious explanations to do. Until than i hope you will stick to your own words and withdrew from re-editing that section of the article. Mateo (talk) 05:21, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

You're true. You were not answering anymore, but I should have been waiting for more time. Wykx 05:26, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Maps

Hi Wykx,

I noticed that you regularly update the maps for many of the presidential trips articles, like List of presidential trips made by François Hollande and List of presidential trips made by Barack Obama. I was wondering if you could also update the map for List of presidential trips made by Benigno Aquino III according to the number of trips President Aquino has already made which is below the map because it has always been outdated and I do not have full knowledge of how to work these maps.

Thanks! PatTag2659, a hopeful aviator (talk) 15:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Dear PatTag2659, actually it quite easy to do it :

1/ download the software https://inkscape.org/en/

2/ save the .svg or .png file of the map from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Narendra_Modi_foreign_trips.svg for example

3/ with Inkscape, open the .svg or .png file of the map

4/ select the country with your mouse

a/ change the color code in the infobox

or

b/ press F7 and select another country with the desired color, it will paste the color on the selected country

5/ save and then upload the new file by clicking on "Upload a new version of this file" on the file page (for example https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Narendra_Modi_foreign_trips.svg)

Don't hesitate if you have more questions or if something is not clear enough...

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” ― Benjamin Franklin Wykx 16:20, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Wykx, thank you so much for the instructions. However, I stumbled with step 4. How do you select a country and change its color code? Thanks! - PatTag2659, a hopeful aviator (talk) 12:52, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

PatTag2659 On step 4, you click on the country. The country will be selected. Maybe you have to go to the menu Edition/XML Editor to display on the right the box were you can see the detail of the code. On the right you have a line called "style". Click on it, change the color code and click on 'Define'.

Alternatively, if you have already another country with the desired color, select the country you want to update, press F7, select the country which has already the desired color, it will paste the desired color on the country you want to update. Wykx 13:03, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

It's still not clear though how you click the country. After I uploaded the map, all I've been clicking was the map's image itself. PatTag2659, a hopeful aviator (talk) 14:16, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

In order to save the image on a modifiable format that you can change, be sure to click 1/ on the pic on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidential_trips_made_by_Benigno_Aquino_III then on 2/ 'More details' on the bottom right then 3/ on the pic then 4/ Save as... Be sure that the image is in format .svg Wykx 16:43, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Yemeni Civil War (2015)

You moved the page to Yemeni Civil War (2015–present), but it isn't 2016 in Yemen. It is only 2016 in the eastern-most parts of the world. I won't argue over this, but perhaps look into this for similar moves in the future. Dustin (talk) 17:50, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

True. And let's hope the conflict will finish in less than three hours ;) I was just preparing 2016 as I was quite sure the conflict would continue and the name 2015-present isn't false anyway. Wykx 17:54, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi, no news since ten days. How long shall we wait? Regards.Wykx 22:17, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

My last message stated that I would bring it up again in the new year and I meant it. Today's the third day of the new year (on the west coast of the United States). What's your rush? There's no deadline. Dawnseeker2000 22:19, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

No problem, I will wait in January. Wykx 22:24, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Don't attempt to put a time limit on this. Please understand that I do have a life outside Wikipedia. There is no deadline on making WP better. Happy new year, Dawnseeker2000 22:41, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Exactly, but I thought my answer was in line with Wikipedia:There_is_no_deadline#View_three:_Don.27t_postpone_dispute_resolution. Kind regards. Wykx 22:50, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Please kindly wait while I gather my thoughts. Changes need to be made with how these lists are done and, as you can imagine, changing direction in WP is a lot like herding cats. No one is intentionally holding up the resolution to the problems. Cheers, Dawnseeker2000 23:03, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Good morning Wykx!

Hi, first of all, let me apologize for placing a template message on your talk page. The reason that happened is because I reacted in frustration with some of the decisions and statements that you've made through our limited interactions. I want to to work with you to make WP better, but I'm having difficulty doing it. I don't want to sound rude, but I know that this is not going to sound good at all, but I just don't trust your decision making. Some of the ideas you've had are not good. Now keep in mind that there really hasn't been much communication between us, and I know that there's at least some effects with the language barrier.

So, you went to sleep instead of answering on the talk page. OK, fine, but like my edit summary said, I firmly believe that "you're not going to have a good reason for removing intensity information". There's just not going to be a valid reason at all. So I take this to mean that you're uncomfortable with the change. Why don't we let this ride for some time and see how it goes. I firmly believe that it's the way forward, and that it's the start of some other changes as well. I haven't written out all of my proposed changes because I don't have everything planned out yet, and because I'm procrastinating. Don't want to spend all the time typing it out :)

So, I hope you have a good day tomorrow. After two weeks off of work, I have a snow day tomorrow! Take care, Dawnseeker2000 04:53, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your wishes. I appreciate your wish to improve and to better take into consideration into the list the effects of earthquakes. We'll work on that and I'm ready for compromise because I think your point is valid for a reader's perspective. Let's discuss it on Talk:List of earthquakes in 2016‎. Wykx 10:28, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I think that I'm done trying to work with you. Your actions and statements lead me to believe that you lack credibility. Take it easy, Dawnseeker2000 19:42, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

OK. Even if I don't know why. Wykx 19:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the problem. You don't understand. Your work here is not good and your English is lacking to the point that it would probably help the English Wikipedia if you'd just stay away. Dawnseeker2000 03:38, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Your edit has been reverted as it was not constructive

Please do not do that again, Dawnseeker2000 16:18, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Do you mind helping a fella' save his sanity?

Well, I don't know if some of the editors noticed, but with the least arrogance, I updated most of the list of terrorist incidents since Setpbember 2015 and you may imagine what is it to be constipated with terror attacks and giving the fact editors including me have documented more then 50 terror attacks in 22 days (that's more then two per day), I kinda start to get sick of it. So I thought to my self, since you seem to have added some incidents, I should give you some of the tools I use to find terror attacks.

• This website, is an indicator. It is not a source, but you can use it to find attacks and then search them in mainstream media.

• This is kind of a dubious website, but it is also a good indicator, never use it a source, extremly biased.

• This website is good for India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, it has information about Naxalite-Maoist insurgency in India and Taliban conflict in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as Blochistan.

• I also find Yahoo News a very good source since it collects reports from several news agencies altogather.

• For Israel news, well, if you want, from time to time, to see if I am doing a terrible job, you can use this website as an incidcator or a source (I never used it as a source anyways) for Israel.

I really hope to see more editors working on the list since I am starting to loose it really.. Thanks anyway.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 20:49, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the links. I can't promise myself but I admit that there's an increase of terror attacks across the world that is difficult to follow... Wykx 23:35, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

RfC closure at Jeremy Corbyn

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to close the RfC at Jeremy Corbyn. The procedure for closure allows RfCs to be closed “by any uninvolved editor.” Clearly, you were not uninvolved. Please revert to the position prior to your closure. Thanks. Daicaregos (talk) 14:46, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Actually if I have well understood the procedure for closure, Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Requests_for_closure is (point 1) "if the consensus is clear, any editor—even one involved in the discussion—may close the discussion". With no opposition on the compromise during 12 days, and one month after the RfC was opened, it seemed to me that is was a consensus. What do you think? Wykx (talk) 16:12, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Your compromise position was not one of the options given in the RfC. Consequently,it would be impossible to say the consensus for that option was clear, so 'point 1' could not apply. Also, several editors noted their opposition to the England, UK suggestion, this is just one example. I can't see any other possible close but 'no consensus', but that should be for an uninvolved editor to decide. Daicaregos (talk) 18:03, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Compromise: make a deal between different parties where each party gives up part of their demand. Wykx (talk) 20:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Seeing as nobody opposed your compromise proposal (which I support), I see no problem with your closing the Rfc & your reading of its results. GoodDay (talk) 18:37, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Daicaregos (talk) 10:16, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

List of international presidential trips

Hello Wykx, I am pretty sure you are aware of the changes made to List of international presidential trips made by Barack Obama regarding the change in title and its format. I think you are also aware that I renamed "List of presidential trips made by François Hollande" to List of international presidential trips made by François Hollande, the format of which was modelled after Barack Obama's list of trips. I renamed Hollande's list because I agreed that it should be clear that the list would only include international trips and not trips made locally within their country. I think that the format currently seen in Obama's trip list looks decent enough and should also be applied to Hollande's trip list. But before I would do such changes, I want to hear your opinion first as a major contributor to the page. Thanks! PatTag2659, a hopeful aviator (talk) 03:00, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Mr. Wykx. The conflict between the Communists and the government of the Philippines has been completed and the final signing of a peace agreement in August.

Redirection of list of state leaders in 2016 and list of state leaders in 2017 to list of state leaders in the 21st century

On 4 January Tahc redirected List of state leaders in 2016 and List of state leaders in 2017 to List of state leaders in the 21st century without any reason. Neither I, nor you, nor other contributors of these articles expressed the accord to these action which I consider abusive. Please sustain me in the action for annulment of this action,express your protest to TAHC and ask the reversion of redirections. Thank you

English spelling corrections

Hello Wykx! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I have noticed two spelling mistakes you make in your edits:

• fightings -> fighting
• militians -> militants or militiamen

Fighting is always singular in English, if one wants to say it in plural form, it would be "fights". "Militian" is a word in Romanian, but not in English. Hope this fixes a few things, good luck on your future edits! CentreLeftRight ✉ 00:35, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

@CentreLeftRight: Thanks, appreciated! And thanks for the corrections in the article. Wykx (talk) 08:43, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Overlinking and decorative flags

If you want to link every country-name in sight, please justify why the general country article is useful—rather than a more specific offspring or section link that might be relevant to the reader.

Why is a flag icon relevant to readers when the country-name is given in the same table cell?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of earthquakes in 2017, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cerro Punta.

Hello: request for feedback on proposal for "Palestine-Israel conflict" article

I noticed you are a relatively frequent editor of that article and so..... since I am very new here to "serious" contributing on WP and so rather than just try to go and create what I propose and then submit it; I instead wish for feedback on how substantive and possibly useful what I suggest might be, here is what I am thinking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict#Hello.2C_new_here.2C_and_I_perceive_a_GRAVE_.28.26_not_even_mentioned_offhand.29_total-omission_of_the_possible_actual_ancient_root_of_this_conflict

Re: Your reversion on List of rail accidents (2010–present)

On 17 June 2017, I entered an accident on this list regarding an Australian collision between a passenger train and vehicle which resulted in one fatality. Hours later, you removed this entry claiming that the entry was "not even notable for a list". There are, however, several other incidents such as derailments which, although caused major disruption, did not result in fatalities and yet they did not get removed. I would like you to give me a logical explanation as to why this entry was "not notable", yet other entries such as the 14 February 2017 non-fatal Australian incident at Kangaroo Flat, Victoria are notable. --Tomcollett (talk) 03:16, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Zoran Tegeltija

The article Zoran Tegeltija has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Cahk (talk) 15:03, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Edit war

Stop edit warring. Per WP:ONUS, you need consensus to add controversial material – it doesn't matter how long that material has been on the article. I've started the discussion here. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 21:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

@Nice4What: OK I do agree with change but I thought the section was introduced a long time ago and thus was necessiting consensus to be removed since the section was added and subsequently edited by several editors. In that case I followed the scheme here: Wikipedia:BOLD,_revert,_discuss_cycle. Apparently we didn't agree on whether a new consensus was previously established or not.

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar
