Morning,
Looking at article pages like
Madrid Airport and
Frankfurt Airport I noticed that multiple entries regarding Iberia and its subsidiary are nothing but duplicate. There is no sense in listing them apart as they operate as just one entity, under one AOC and the same flight numbers. Furthermore it is quite confusing as a normal person wouldn't get the difference when looking at the Frankfurt Airport page and seeing Iberia to Madrid and just one further down Iberia Regional to Madrid. He'd ask himself were the difference was, even though there is none.
Regarding Iberia Express, we should keep them apart though, as it has its own AOC and operated as a Premium LCC Brand for Iberia.
But all in all, we do not differentiate between Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cityline, KLM and KLM Cityhopper or TAP and TAP Express.
As this though is still a slightly bigger change, I wanted to ask for your opinion first.
Best regards,
Der HON (

Hello The Banner. Could you please provide some help or advice regarding Nilpriyo? Back in October, you posted a COI request on their Talk Page [1], but this has been ignored (along with my requests before and after).
They still seem to be using Wikipedia to promote articles for this TV network, so what can be done here please? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 06:53, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

You seem to be targeting articles I've worked on, which is making my editing experience frustrating. Examples:
We clearly have different understanding of which claims and sources are appropriate for Wikipedia. That's fine, but you are clearly trying to place obstacles in front of me and I'm kindly asking you to please stop.

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.

I know Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. I create what I know best on Wikipedia. I do not add any kind of false information to Wikipedia. And Zee Bangla has nothing to do with me. I have told you this before. I have created and edited many other pages besides Zee Bangla. Not only Zee Bangla, I have a good idea about the programs of Star Jalsha, Sun Bangla, Colors Bangla, Star Plus, Zee TV, Colors TV, Sony Entertainment channels. Besides, I also provide accurate information about various actors and actresses. When I see that someone has added wrong information to these pages, I remove these wrong information from that page.

Way back in 2015, @ The Banner suggested deleting the Wikipedia entry for this ensemble with the comment 'Doubtful if it passes WP:GNG. Not many Google hits (effectively 54) and no independent sourcing in the article'. @SwisterTwister agreed; and @ MBisanz made the deletion.
I discovered this deletion history because I recently tried to create an article for this band.
I can see why the article was deleted, but with reference to newspaper reporting it's easy to show that that the band meets several of criteria for Wikipedia:Notability (music):
I'm less sure of the customary usage of this criterion but:

A hyphen is correct in this instance because it's a Comma splice.
Do yourself a favour and look at MOS:LISTS. They ALL use hyphens between the list item and the description.
You used very specific examples of pages to "prove" your point. All you've done is follow a confirmation bias; these pages have far fewer edits than my examples and the manual of style, so your examples are more likely to be wrong. Panamitsu ( talk) 22:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi,
Could you explain your reasoning for this reversion at Battle of Britain? My edit follows the advice at MOS:NOPIPE and WP:NOPIPE, for example, "avoid making links longer than necessary", "it is generally not good practice to pipe links simply to avoid redirects", "do not use a piped link where it is possible to use a redirected term that fits well within the scope of the text", etc.

I noticed you reverted my edit on Jack Kevorkian (diff here). However, all I did was reformat a previous edit (diff of their edit here). In addition to reformatting the edit, I went on the web and verified the existence of the cited song and added a citation (I had actually doubted the song existed and was looking to see if it was a vandal edit, so I was surprised the song was real).
Can you please tell me why you reverted my edit? If the formatting or citation was wrong, I'd like to correct it. If, on the other hand, you feel the song shouldn't be on the list at all, I'm fine with that. But in that case we should delete the song entirely from the list instead of just restoring the improperly formatted original edit.
Please let me know how you'd like to proceed. Thanks! KNHaw (talk) 05:14, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
William Bird Herapath lived in the C19th. The Red Maids' School merged with Redland High in the C21st, so the name of the school in Herapath's day was The Red Maids' School, not Redmaids' High School. Also, "bypass redirects" is not a valid reason to make that change, as explained at WP:NOTBROKEN. Best wishes, Jean-de-Nivelle ( talk) 10:32, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi @
User:The BannerThe Banner,
first of all, glad to see you back.
I would kindly ask you to have a watch on the UK airport pages. There is one IP-editor, normally using "2A00:"-adresses which constantly keeps vandalizing content on mostly UK airport pages by completing totally unsourced edits or removing sources without any argumentation.
Afterwards, he tends to call the editors that revert his edits, because they are more than clearly against the guidelines, vandals. See the latest edits at
Manchester Airport for reference.

I note that you have now removed a considerable amount of edits from an article about my neighbor. Ena previously taught at USC where she believes a member of the faculty created a page for her. She asked me to update this page and remove some personal details - and yet you have removed relevant information about her early life? Baffled at this point as to why you are removing facts with citations that were requested on this page? Caraghm ( talk) 03:04, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi! Are you keeping a list of all the IPs they've used? I've blocked quite a few of them and whack-a-mole might be all we can do but some pattern analysis might be worthwhile. If, of course, there is a pattern! Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you rolled by my recent edit on Template:Woodrow Wilson. From your edit summary, it sounds like direct links to disambiguation pages should be avoided even if that's where you want to link to. I was curious why this is a problem, I know you mentioned maintenance bots, but was just wondering about the specifics of why it's good to avoid this. I'd rather not make an incorrect edit twice if it can be helped. Thanks! - OdinintheNorth ( talk) 21:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
Good Morning,
Maybe you could have a look at
Zagreb Airport as there is an IP-range that is steadily removing sources and undoing correct edits. In my opinion it looks more like a local enthusiast who thinks that he is above Wikipedia guidelines, but there could be a connection to the greek vandal.
The british IP editor vandalizing UK pages has seemingly expanded his range as he has now also edited via 86.30.110.239 IP-address.

Would you care to explain your revert of my edit on Irish people? How is it my 'personal opinion' to remove an assertion of Icelandic-Irish ethnic relation? The JSTOR source is one source; i.e. one person, making a dubious assertion of DNA relations. Whether or not English and Ulster-Scots relation remain in the infobox is debatable, granted, but again, that it is neither an 'opinion' nor 'personal'. To be honest, I'm not sure what exactly the Related ethnic groups is referring to (i.e. actual Ethnic-relation, cultural, or geographic etc.), so if you could enlighten me, I would be grateful. Still, next time you disagree with my edit, why not take it to the talk page, or at least write something sensical/fair in your undo-explanation. Thanks.

Hi Banner,
I know we have got off on the wrong foot on the talkpage of Black and Tans, but could you try to take some heat out of your comments? There are several places on the talkpage where you are straying into the territory of personal attacks. I know you feel frustrated that I do not feel that your opinion on the sources is valid according to our policies, but if you look at my edits you will see a consistent effort to compromise and achieve a consensus without RfC. An RfC will just burn up both our own and everybody else's time.
Anyway, sorry that some of my own posts there came over as excessively confrontational, I hope we can go forward in a more relaxed vein.

I see you reverted my edit to Dublin Airport because the source I cited wasn't "independent". I don't know how you can argue that an airline's website isn't a reliable source on a new route they are launching. News sites or other independent sources are much more likely to get the details wrong (they're getting the information from the airline's press relase anyway). It would be different for example, in the case of a company reporting on corporate strategy or public relations. They would of course not be impartial and therefore not a very reliable source. But this is just a new route launching - simple factual information. Secondary sources are less reliable in this case and likely to get details wrong. Let's have some common sense here. This is completely counterproductive. VG31 19:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Morning,
Looking at article pages like
Madrid Airport and
Frankfurt Airport I noticed that multiple entries regarding Iberia and its subsidiary are nothing but duplicate. There is no sense in listing them apart as they operate as just one entity, under one AOC and the same flight numbers. Furthermore it is quite confusing as a normal person wouldn't get the difference when looking at the Frankfurt Airport page and seeing Iberia to Madrid and just one further down Iberia Regional to Madrid. He'd ask himself were the difference was, even though there is none.
Regarding Iberia Express, we should keep them apart though, as it has its own AOC and operated as a Premium LCC Brand for Iberia.
But all in all, we do not differentiate between Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cityline, KLM and KLM Cityhopper or TAP and TAP Express.
As this though is still a slightly bigger change, I wanted to ask for your opinion first.

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.

I know Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. I create what I know best on Wikipedia. I do not add any kind of false information to Wikipedia. And Zee Bangla has nothing to do with me. I have told you this before. I have created and edited many other pages besides Zee Bangla. Not only Zee Bangla, I have a good idea about the programs of Star Jalsha, Sun Bangla, Colors Bangla, Star Plus, Zee TV, Colors TV, Sony Entertainment channels. Besides, I also provide accurate information about various actors and actresses. When I see that someone has added wrong information to these pages, I remove these wrong information from that page.

Way back in 2015, @ The Banner suggested deleting the Wikipedia entry for this ensemble with the comment 'Doubtful if it passes WP:GNG. Not many Google hits (effectively 54) and no independent sourcing in the article'. @SwisterTwister agreed; and @ MBisanz made the deletion.
I discovered this deletion history because I recently tried to create an article for this band.
I can see why the article was deleted, but with reference to newspaper reporting it's easy to show that that the band meets several of criteria for Wikipedia:Notability (music):
I'm less sure of the customary usage of this criterion but:

A hyphen is correct in this instance because it's a Comma splice.
Do yourself a favour and look at MOS:LISTS. They ALL use hyphens between the list item and the description.
You used very specific examples of pages to "prove" your point. All you've done is follow a confirmation bias; these pages have far fewer edits than my examples and the manual of style, so your examples are more likely to be wrong. Panamitsu ( talk) 22:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi,
Could you explain your reasoning for this reversion at Battle of Britain? My edit follows the advice at MOS:NOPIPE and WP:NOPIPE, for example, "avoid making links longer than necessary", "it is generally not good practice to pipe links simply to avoid redirects", "do not use a piped link where it is possible to use a redirected term that fits well within the scope of the text", etc.

I noticed you reverted my edit on Jack Kevorkian (diff here). However, all I did was reformat a previous edit (diff of their edit here). In addition to reformatting the edit, I went on the web and verified the existence of the cited song and added a citation (I had actually doubted the song existed and was looking to see if it was a vandal edit, so I was surprised the song was real).
Can you please tell me why you reverted my edit? If the formatting or citation was wrong, I'd like to correct it. If, on the other hand, you feel the song shouldn't be on the list at all, I'm fine with that. But in that case we should delete the song entirely from the list instead of just restoring the improperly formatted original edit.
Please let me know how you'd like to proceed. Thanks! KNHaw (talk) 05:14, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
William Bird Herapath lived in the C19th. The Red Maids' School merged with Redland High in the C21st, so the name of the school in Herapath's day was The Red Maids' School, not Redmaids' High School.

Hi @
User:The BannerThe Banner,
first of all, glad to see you back.
I would kindly ask you to have a watch on the UK airport pages. There is one IP-editor, normally using "2A00:"-adresses which constantly keeps vandalizing content on mostly UK airport pages by completing totally unsourced edits or removing sources without any argumentation.
Afterwards, he tends to call the editors that revert his edits, because they are more than clearly against the guidelines, vandals. See the latest edits at
Manchester Airport for reference.

I note that you have now removed a considerable amount of edits from an article about my neighbor. Ena previously taught at USC where she believes a member of the faculty created a page for her.

Hi, I saw you rolled by my recent edit on Template:Woodrow Wilson. From your edit summary, it sounds like direct links to disambiguation pages should be avoided even if that's where you want to link to. I was curious why this is a problem, I know you mentioned maintenance bots, but was just wondering about the specifics of why it's good to avoid this. I'd rather not make an incorrect edit twice if it can be helped. Thanks! - OdinintheNorth ( talk) 21:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
Good Morning,
Maybe you could have a look at
Zagreb Airport as there is an IP-range that is steadily removing sources and undoing correct edits. In my opinion it looks more like a local enthusiast who thinks that he is above Wikipedia guidelines, but there could be a connection to the greek vandal.
The british IP editor vandalizing UK pages has seemingly expanded his range as he has now also edited via 86.30.110.239 IP-address.

Would you care to explain your revert of my edit on Irish people? How is it my 'personal opinion' to remove an assertion of Icelandic-Irish ethnic relation? The JSTOR source is one source; i.e. one person, making a dubious assertion of DNA relations. Whether or not English and Ulster-Scots relation remain in the infobox is debatable, granted, but again, that it is neither an 'opinion' nor 'personal'. To be honest, I'm not sure what exactly the Related ethnic groups is referring to (i.e. actual Ethnic-relation, cultural, or geographic etc.), so if you could enlighten me, I would be grateful. Still, next time you disagree with my edit, why not take it to the talk page, or at least write something sensical/fair in your undo-explanation. Thanks.

Hi Banner,
I know we have got off on the wrong foot on the talkpage of Black and Tans, but could you try to take some heat out of your comments? There are several places on the talkpage where you are straying into the territory of personal attacks. I know you feel frustrated that I do not feel that your opinion on the sources is valid according to our policies, but if you look at my edits you will see a consistent effort to compromise and achieve a consensus without RfC. An RfC will just burn up both our own and everybody else's time.
Anyway, sorry that some of my own posts there came over as excessively confrontational, I hope we can go forward in a more relaxed vein.

I see you reverted my edit to Dublin Airport because the source I cited wasn't "independent". I don't know how you can argue that an airline's website isn't a reliable source on a new route they are launching. News sites or other independent sources are much more likely to get the details wrong (they're getting the information from the airline's press relase anyway). It would be different for example, in the case of a company reporting on corporate strategy or public relations. They would of course not be impartial and therefore not a very reliable source. But this is just a new route launching - simple factual information. Secondary sources are less reliable in this case and likely to get details wrong. Let's have some common sense here. This is completely counterproductive. VG31 19:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
