The source says that flights were suspended March 24, 2012. If you go to the airline's main website, they are planning to resume service to ORD soon but no date has announced but we can't add it until there is a date. 68.119.73.36 ( talk) 18:53, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
The stats are from 2011.......American Airlines still flew from JFK to NRT at that time (while HND was temporarily halted due to the earthquake). The airline ended service from JFK to NRT at the end of May 2012. 68.119.73.36 ( talk) 00:51, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
You need to stop removing my edits and being an idiot. My source clearly states that JetBlue Airways will begin nonstop HOU/BOS service on July 25, 2013. If you actually took the time to look to the bottom of the page, you would have realized this. This is such a stupid thing for you to be complaining over, and you need to take the time to examine my source citations. I understand that I mistakenly forgot to cite my source, but I'm not lying to you. Please do not remove my edits; I'm not trying to fool the world; when I make an edit, I'm damn sure it's right.

Hi,
Do you have a precise source for the figures you gave for CDG airport top destinations? The one you gave is just the home page of Aéroports de Paris website.
Slasher-fun ( talk) 13:19, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Your source that you attached is a link to the homepage of CDG airport and not to the new statistics that you claim they are the correct statistics. I know for sure that the route between Paris to Tel Aviv is over than 750,000 passengers and i know for sure that the route between Hong Kong to Paris is less than 1 million passengers. please attach the correct link or I'll be delete your edits.-- Friends147 ( talk) 13:37, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

←✎) 16:47, 1 May 2013 (UTC)When your block expires, you need to learn what is wrong with edits like these [1]. I believe you will have seen the explanation but in short, we do not gloat or boast about blocking users, blocking is a purely technical measure to prevent damage to the project and nothing at all to count - I have no idea how many users and IP addresses I've blocked, and I honestly don't care, each and every block was carefully considered to prevent vandalism, copyright infringement or unsuitable behaviour.
I would also caution you about your quest to become an administrator (which can be a shitty role, anyway, never understood people's obsession with getting the bit) - the way you're going, there's not the faintest chance the community will trust you with the tools at the moment, you're going to have to mature, and you need to understand the role of content here, you need to get out and write articles - start stubs, write DYKs, get a GA, contribute photos, anything that doesn't involve lurking about in the Wikipedia namespace or adding lists of blocked users back onto user pages. Nick ( talk) 17:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Nick is giving you good advice. You seem like a nice enough fellow who is letting your ambition and youth get the best of you. Keeping up with "blocks caused" and other scores isn't good. An admin's first goal is to find a way to resolve a problem without blocking if it is possible, so scorecards are the opposite of what we try to do. I think you try to jump out and get noticed, however, Wikipedia is a dangerous place to do that, as you can just as easily get noticed for the wrong things. When you come back, I wouldn't worry about CVUA and I would suggest avoiding admin areas completely, instead learning about editing, sourcing, format and the other things that really matter: Content for the reader. That is why we are all really here anyway. Learning to spot and block vandals is the easiest thing an admin does. It is pretty obvious stuff. Learning how to properly write, edit, discuss, reach consensus, compromise and just get along in a collegiate manner are the more important lessons to learn. And yes, being an admin is overrated here anyway. I waited over 5 years before seeking the bit, and there are plenty of days I wish I wasn't one. We aren't the bosses here, just the janitors.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at
User talk:Seanharger, is considered
bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the

Hi Connor,
Welcome back. You quickly reverted an edit simply stating at it didn't explain the edit. While edit summaries are helpful, they are not required. Please try to only revert edits if you have reason to believe they are incorrect. In this case, a quick check of the AA schedule would have found that they don't fly ORD-YYZ mainline, so the edit was correct. In this case, you also left a note on the anon editor's talk page admonishing him/her (politely) for the 'incorrect' edit. If you leave such a warning, please be particularly sure that you're right that the editor was in error! I suggest an apology to the IP might be in order.
Moreover, I'd like to echo many of the recent comments here. I suggest that the best way for a relative newcomer like yourself to contribute effectively to Wikipedia is to focus on the main article space, not administration, bureaucracy, and aggressively pursuing vandalism. You'll encounter plenty of bureaucracy along the way, and it will tend to be in better context for you if you encounter it organically as part of your main space edits than if you seek out the bureaucracy actively. Also, Twinkle, rollback, and the like can get one into trouble, as seems to have happened to you in a few places. Those tools can inadvertently cause one to spend less time thinking about edits, which can lead to significant mistakes. If you do continue to aggressively pursue vandalism with these tools, ensure you understand the definition of vandalism; many of your edits suggest you don't.
Lastly, a habit of removing comments from your talk page, while certainly allowed, can make it appear like you have something to hide, particularly when you selectively remove comments. I recommend being a little more conservative in how quickly you remove edits.
Happy editing! —Alex ( ASHill | talk | contribs) 23:59, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Also, I archive all of the comments. So, if you see it has been deleted, then it is likely been archived. This is a more professional way to do things. Anywho, thanks for the help. Cheers!

Hi.. WorldTraveller101.. Stop your sloppy vandalism work!!! You recently undid several constructive contributions by IP
70.247.166.76 citing it as
unsourced content. I am no worldtraveller, but it took me less then 30 secs for each page, to verify the information added by IP using the sourced provided in the article already. You can consider this as final or only warning as you have been previously notified several time by different editors about you undoing constructive edits of others. Next time you repeat this, you may be indefinitely blocked (as you have already been blocked 4 times) or if possible banned from so called anti-vandalism work. Plus you issued two consecutive level1 and level2 warning to 70.247.166.76, which is again a violation of WP policies. IP 70.247.166.76 did not do any "un sourced" editing after level1 warning, so a level2 warning is unfair. Similarly your behaviour in the edit summaries is also not proper. I demand that you apologise to this IP. I know that you did not apologise to 142.240.200.7. But this time you do.--Vigyani

Hello! Thanks for chiming in on WP:AIV regarding the report of User:76.102.142.132. I just wanted to let you know that the little templated decision tags are generally for use by administrators making a more or less official "call" on the actionability of the report. I quite agree with the call you made, but just for propriety and clarity's sake (though you did identify yourself as a non-admin), it might be best to avoid using those templates in future. No harm done, it just might be best to avoid. As far as I know there's no hard-and-fast policy on it, it's just a matter of typical procedure. - Vianello ( Talk) 15:23, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Why are you undoing an edit on Minneapolis St Paul International Airport? The original change you are referring to is valid. The line is now called the Metro Blue Line.

Hello WorldTraveller101, Could I just draw your attention to the recent edits made on the San Francisco International Airport?

Regards, David J Johnson ( talk) 23:21, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
I personally can't help much more than to warn him with harder words, since he had 'warred many times before. For you, this is basically your general reminder to not 'war. Don't revert again. If he is removing other things you dislike, bring it to the article's talk page to get some consensus. Thanks for notifying me, David. WorldTraveller101( Trouble?/ My Work) 00:42, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
I'd note at the SPI that that account's been blocked (although, to be fair, it was the socking more than the username. I think it or one of JY's other socks that has a similar name was reported to UAA sometime back, and the consensus (such as it was) was that it was not offensive enough to block on sight (I've seen that on T-shirts), but that someone could and should gently persuade him to request a change. Daniel Case ( talk) 02:30, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
I personally am against the adminship of of ChrisGualtieri. He may be helpful in alot of articles and editors but most definitely not impartial and I fear will only abuse his administrative power. In the past (recent) he was quick to call editors troll, make personal attacks and claim others to attack him. Uses WP:NPA whenever it suits him not realizing WP:BOOMERANG hurts his accusations. This editor is NOT ready to be an admin yet. Lucia Black ( talk) 08:56, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
For the past few months edit war between me, ryulong and chrisgualtieri about splitting content, even though no consensus was in his favor, he continued to disrupt. And eventually gave up. I'm no saint, but what I say is the truth. Not lies and not slander. I have User:knowledgekid also bringing him to ANI for personal attacks against me. Its 1 thing to admit wrong in the recent past, and attempt to say theyve changed, but thats not the case here. Lucia Black ( talk) 16:27, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
How? The comment history is there. For ghost in the shell, you edit warred 3 times ok n the same subject and consensus was against you. If it wasnt for each ANI, you wouldve continued ti edit war. You have called me a troll at least twice. You try to use NPA fir the same reasons I use NPA against you. Proving what ive said isnt going to disprove what youve said. Lucia Black ( talk) 18:39, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
I cant prove it the exact same way Chris does. I dont have a computer. It would literally take me a whole day to find all these links and copy and paste them using smartphone because it doesnt always copy and paste in the area I want it to. Still, that doesnt mean proof is non existent. History pages of talk:Ghost in the Shell, talk:Ghost in the Shell (manga) talk: List of Ghost in the Shell chapters and even talk: Dragon Ball was uncalled for. WT:ANIME also shows where knowledgekid attempted to push Chris in ANI, in which I wasnt for nor against. Still, proof is easy access for you. I dont think you actually need me to provide specific links. In all the ones that hes involved in also shows his own comments Lucia Black ( talk) 20:13, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Leaving messages such as this one on the talk page of an account blocked for sockpuppetry is not only unhelpful, it actually just serves to exacerbate the problem. Serial sockpuppeteers thrive on causing disruption and being noticed. By getting yourself worked up you're just playing into their hands. If you think you have identified a possible sock account, your best route is to open an SPI, present your evidence, and the to allow the clerks, admins and (if necessary) checkusers to review the evidence. After that just walk away and deny the attention-getter any further recognition. -- Jezebel'sPonyo bons mots 22:08, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

You take the fun out of updating and no I am not edit warring you as you have accused somebody else of doing on the MSP Airport page a few days ago. Oh and I see you were proven wrong once again on that one too. You seem to have a history of undoing peoples edits that are completely factual.

Hi Connor,
You archived a bunch of comment threads that were less than 12 hours old, including one thread that had a comment 17 minutes before you archived. What's the rush? I can't imagine why comments less than a few months old need to be archived on a talk page with this much traffic. In particular, I was trying to find the helpful comment by an anonymous IP to aid in tracking down statistics references for Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. Archiving so quickly fragments discussions and makes it harder to find comments I knew were made very recently.

You reported an ip to WP:AIV as seen at this perma link. These edits are NOT vandalism and are correct. A 10 second search of Japan Airlines' website confirms they offer those routes. STOP continuing to erroneously mark editors as vandals. Ramaksoud2000 ( Talk to me) 03:32, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi WT. I'm afraid that this time it's an official request. While we appreciate your enthusiasm (and you appear to have done some good work catching a sock), you are still getting things wrong far too often. This just makes more work for experienced editors and admins, and that's not the way for us to combat backlogs and get things done smoothly. Too many errors are considered WP:DISRUPTION and if it persists it can be met with a block.
You have some experience of ANI already and I'm sure you don't want to be on the receiving end of a complaint there. Please just continue to do your best work by adding content to the encyclopedia for a while.
I'm therefore asking you officially to STOP working in maintenance areas now until you have successfully completed a mentoring programme, and I or another admin has reviewed the results. I'm sure you understand, and if you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask me. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 04:07, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Ramaksoud2000,Though you may be correct on this issue I don't think this is the right way to solve problems, shouting at this user is only going to make problems worse for everyone, the only way to do this is a democratic way to teach him whats right and wrong, be kind to this user, don't shout at him or accuse him of things exctera, remember were not being fascist dictators here, Wikipedia is a democratic society.
On the other hand WT101, when you report an I.P for vandalism make sure he has been given level 4 warnings ahead of time, look at the edit summary, and see if the editor has put in constructive information, Google it if you are not sure, if it is incorrect, you revert it marked as a good faith edit, not a disruptive one or vandalism. figuring out if its vandalism or not is simple, look for reapeating characters like; "dfdfsdfsdfs" or shouting like; "I HATE WIKIPEDIAAAA", or even profane language; "You Suck PINGAS". These would be classified as vandalism. Cheers! JackFrost2121( Frostbitten?/ My Work) 04:14, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

You have four or five featured article topicons all with the same reasoning "Contributed significantly to maintain featured article rating", however, I have found that there are precisely zero edits made to Boeing 757, one of the topicons, with this account or your previous. I have not checked the others. What exactly are your intentions?
Regarding your revert of my edit on the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol article: I didn't just re-write the section because of the very poor writing, I also re-wrote it because the "extra" information was wrong. PH-TKC was not scrapped; it was repaired and remained in service with Transavia for several more years. The airplane is still flying today as G-LSAN for Jet2 Holidays.

Double taggings cause some technical issues with categories, but more importantly, it looks like grave dancing and is strongly discouraged.

User talk:WorldTraveller101, is considered
bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the

Hallo! I have noticed you edit a lot of airport articles and was wondering if you would fancy looking at a UK airport. Blackpool International Airport may only be a small airport but its got quite a lot of history and events. Overall the article looks great but there are quite a lot of parts without references. I have especially noticed the Accident and Incident section has very few references. I am from Blackpool and am really interested in finding out if these facts are true! (though i've set myself on a path of writing children's law articles instead.. much more boring!)

The gates in Terminal 2 have been renumbered from C60 to C70. You also reverted a lot of other edits saying Terminal 3 is still active.

Request reason:
I re-added it as a Level 4, because that was more appropriate and I did let him know about it. In the ANI Post about Lucia Black, I was trying to see if we could get some sort of a cool down. There was a reason to asking PBASH607 if I could modify it. He says that he has no problem, as long as he is notified and it is appropriate (in this case it was). On the other hand, I am truly apologetic and regretful if this caused major disruption, which it unfortunately might've made. Please remember that I did intend to help, and not hurt. Thanks. WorldTraveller101 Breaks Fixes 11:02, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Here's where you are wrong: the warnings on Lucia Black's page were not at all appropriate. You bizarrely have claimed that she's "hounding" PBASH simply because she asked him to stay off her talkpage. Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. He was hounding her by continuing to post there after she asked him to stop, and indeed should have been blocked himself. You simply took up the mantle, and fecked up badly on this case - period. Although you claim to be intending to help, not hurt, your entire involvement with Lucia Black has CLEARLY been intended to hurt one person: her. Competence is required, and you currently do not show the level of mature understanding to know when to act, and when to not act ... this was a wrong time to act, and policy is 100% against you on this one. Your failure to recognize the impropriety of even THINKING of acting was bad enough - combined with the fact that you have been told NUMEROUS times to NEVER EDIT SOMEONE'S POST EVER is actually the small part of this block ( ✉→ BWilkins ←✎) 11:21, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am truly sorry for the regretful and embarrassing episodes that went on. When I posted to ANI, I really wanted an admin to help Lucia cool down, and perhaps, get some opinion from uninvolved users and admins. I am also extremely sorry for the accusations made. Some were big accusations that I should've known better first. The refactor was a poor decision on my part (although I did consult Prabash of such change) and I am seriously apologetic to all for my poor judgment and any possible disruption that arose, especially Lucia. My main goal when I'm unblocked is to continue to "pretty" my user page, increase my article-space edit count (I'm almost at 800, I want to reach 1,000 and start to increase to 1,500 ; 2,000 ; etc). I also promise that except for an apology, to leave Lucia alone [minus a WikiLove/apology] and to focus on getting various articles, such as John F. Kennedy International Airport to at least an A-class rating. I will avoid SPI, ANI, and AN for the most part, except for some instances where I make helpful comments (but those will be very scarce/rare). In terms of refactoring, I will consult the user and explain the change and they will decide if they want/think they need to change it. I am to not change it myself. Thanks for the reminders and I hope to get to constructive editing soon. Thanks. WorldTraveller101 Breaks Fixes 19:39, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
{{subst:Decline per lack of a compelling reason. Making your user page "pretty", upping your edit count, and editing the airport article can all wait a couple of weeks. I strongly suggest following Bwilkins's very good advice as the next block is likely to be indefinite, and it's up to you not to let that happen. I'm disinclined to unblock anyone blocked for something so egregious without a very very good reason, and none seems to be present.}} Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Yeah seriously, Connor, I advise you to STOP requesting for unblock for this one. You have been blocked again and again for the same old mistake, including this block you are serving right now, and that is absolutely enough for any admin to decline your unblock. IMHO, the admin who blocked you ( JamesBWatson) is a wise and reasonable guy, and definitely has a valid reason whenever he decides whether or not to block someone. Moreover, the admins have given you enough repeated warnings for your old mistake. I am not able to review your unblock request, but I also share the other admins' sentiments. Anyway, you have already admitted that you are feeling troubled and that is disturbing the way you edit Wikipedia, your edit count, behavior and so on. So, why don't you just take 2 weeks off (or should I say wikibreak) and study well for your exams. At the same time, think how you want to edit Wikipedia properly in future and how you can prevent yourself from getting an indef block. Then, come back fresh on the 26th of June.

I would like to once again say that I am extremely sorry for all disruption that occurred and I personally would like to move past this. I'd love to get back to airport articles and helping out there. I'm currently setting out to try and get some of the airport articles to GA-class (most are B-class right now) and would like to help other topics I'm familiar with. I also will abide to the following conditions: * I will take advantage of

my adoption more. I will get more guidance, try to resolve problems by getting advice, etc. * I will not refactor talk pages, such as tags, wording, etc. If I want something to be changed, I will ask the editor who made the comment/warning if they are willing to change it. I will only add if needed. * If I am having trouble with a problematic user, I will go get advice from more experienced editors. * I will not work with
SPI,
ANI, etc until I have a better grasp for all of those areas (but that won't be for a while. * If I notice a problem, such as

Decline reason:
Declined per your withdrawal of the request - the pattern of similar problems means that you were probably unlikely to find an admin willing to overturn it anyway. There's good advice above - you obviously have plenty to contribute to the encyclopedia, you just need to take some time to seriously think about which aspects of your contributions are helpful, and which aspects aren't. With some more thought, you may well do far better at helping the encyclopedia, and avoiding getting yelled at, once you're back. Best wishes. ~ mazca talk 15:28, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Though you may be blocked from editing, you may still prepare to do some nice contribs after unblocked. Im going to take some of my time to do this for you. Consider this my private tutorials for you, it may seem similar to a Adoption course but it goes more in depth and fuun stuff.
You go to
Lexington? That's cool. I've been to a few debates there, I think. Well, I don't believe we've been introduced, but I noticed we have a bit in common, including living on the North Shore, a fondness for travel, and an occasional habit to get ourselves in trouble at ANI.
But, anyways, as an expert giver of unsolicited advice, I thought I'd drop by and say hello. I see that some users have been complaining about your maturity... having reached the oh-so-mature age of 17 myself, I can tell you with some certainty that if I'd started editing Wikipedia when you did, I'd've gotten myself into far more trouble than you have. So... two weeks is a lot of time to think, and the weather's supposed to get nice over the weekend, so I hope you can make the best of this block. It's tough to avoid getting sucked in to some of the darker parts of Wikipedia, but if you learn from your mistakes then you'll come out of everything mostly unscathed (although, if you're anything like me, you'll probably have some nights where you're going to sleep and suddenly realize "Oh, I sounded really dumb in that discussion over such-and-such"). —

Hello again, WorldTraveller101. I blocked you, but I didn't then leave it at that and forget about you. I have kept coming back to this page, and I have read every word of everything that has been posted here since I blocked you. I would not have bothered to spend my time doing that if I thought you were just a disruptive editor with no chance of being helpful. I am 100% sure that you have good intentions, and I am 100% sure that you have the potential to be a very useful Wikipedia editor. Who knows - maybe one day you will even make a good Wikipedia administrator. However, you have been trying to run before you can walk. When I saw your latest unblock request, I actually considered accepting it, because you really do seem willing to hold back from doing the things that have caused problems. However, I could see that consensus was against an unblock, and when I thought about it some more I decided it was probably better to let the block run its course. You have the potential to be a constructive editor over a period of years, if you choose to, and two weeks out is a minor blip. However, perhaps the knowledge that you are being forced to take a two-week break has focused your mind on the issues surrounding your editing, in which case it has been helpful. You have been given a lot of good advice, and I have nothing really new to add, but perhaps I can add my own emphasis to something that has already been said. Concentrate for now on what you are best at, which is editing articles. A lot of other things are also important, including dealing with troublesome editors, but right now you should keep away from those things. How long does "right now" mean? Impossible to say, but at least six months, and very likely a couple of years. That may seem like an impossibly long time, but it isn't. It was about three and a half years between when I created this account and when I got rollbacker rights, and not far short of four years before I became an administrator (and longer than that if we count from when I started editing anonymously, rather than from when I created an account). I didn't spend that time itching and fretting because I couldn't do everything, I just got on with doing what I could, which was mostly making very small improvements to articles. When I eventually did become an administrator, I believe I did a better job of it because I had built up a lot of experience of how Wikipedia works while doing small things.
Finally, let me emphasise a point I have already mentioned. I would not have spent my time writing this unless I thought that it might be helpful to an editor who has the potential to become a very useful Wikipedian. Just take it one step at a time, and don't try to do things that you are not yet ready to do. JamesBWatson ( talk) 19:24, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi guys,
Words cannot describe my appreciation for the advice everyone has given me. James is spot on in saying that I have potential to be a great editor [and perhaps an admin someday], but right now, I'm biting more than I can chew. I agree, as being a useful Wikipedian is indeed my goal. Getting an article to GA, A, FA-class, etc is indeed a good goal since it is content creation...it helps the reader understand.
In terms of my block, as much I would've rather had 10 days (since exams run until Thursday and then Friday is a cool down day), but 2 weeks is 2 weeks and there is no point in arguing further. Also, there were some other editors who probably supported an unblock, but plenty opposed, so I also agree there. Quite frankly, I still have Spanish, math, and U.S History exams this week. Friday, there is school, but nothing happens really...just make-ups and report cards. After that, my block will almost be up.
Thanks for the advice guys. Happy editing. WorldTraveller101 Breaks Fixes 19:59, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi guys. I noticed that User:Anna Frodesiak has an RfA ending approximately two days before my block expires. While I'm not going to argue for an immediate unblock, is there any chance I could be released two days early so I can put my voice into it?

The source says that flights were suspended March 24, 2012. If you go to the airline's main website, they are planning to resume service to ORD soon but no date has announced but we can't add it until there is a date. 68.119.73.36 ( talk) 18:53, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
The stats are from 2011.......American Airlines still flew from JFK to NRT at that time (while HND was temporarily halted due to the earthquake). The airline ended service from JFK to NRT at the end of May 2012. 68.119.73.36 ( talk) 00:51, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
You need to stop removing my edits and being an idiot. My source clearly states that JetBlue Airways will begin nonstop HOU/BOS service on July 25, 2013. If you actually took the time to look to the bottom of the page, you would have realized this. This is such a stupid thing for you to be complaining over, and you need to take the time to examine my source citations. I understand that I mistakenly forgot to cite my source, but I'm not lying to you. Please do not remove my edits; I'm not trying to fool the world; when I make an edit, I'm damn sure it's right.

Hi,
Do you have a precise source for the figures you gave for CDG airport top destinations? The one you gave is just the home page of Aéroports de Paris website.
Slasher-fun ( talk) 13:19, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Your source that you attached is a link to the homepage of CDG airport and not to the new statistics that you claim they are the correct statistics. I know for sure that the route between Paris to Tel Aviv is over than 750,000 passengers and i know for sure that the route between Hong Kong to Paris is less than 1 million passengers. please attach the correct link or I'll be delete your edits.-- Friends147 ( talk) 13:37, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

←✎) 16:47, 1 May 2013 (UTC)When your block expires, you need to learn what is wrong with edits like these [1]. I believe you will have seen the explanation but in short, we do not gloat or boast about blocking users, blocking is a purely technical measure to prevent damage to the project and nothing at all to count - I have no idea how many users and IP addresses I've blocked, and I honestly don't care, each and every block was carefully considered to prevent vandalism, copyright infringement or unsuitable behaviour.
I would also caution you about your quest to become an administrator (which can be a shitty role, anyway, never understood people's obsession with getting the bit) - the way you're going, there's not the faintest chance the community will trust you with the tools at the moment, you're going to have to mature, and you need to understand the role of content here, you need to get out and write articles - start stubs, write DYKs, get a GA, contribute photos, anything that doesn't involve lurking about in the Wikipedia namespace or adding lists of blocked users back onto user pages. Nick ( talk) 17:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Nick is giving you good advice. You seem like a nice enough fellow who is letting your ambition and youth get the best of you. Keeping up with "blocks caused" and other scores isn't good. An admin's first goal is to find a way to resolve a problem without blocking if it is possible, so scorecards are the opposite of what we try to do. I think you try to jump out and get noticed, however, Wikipedia is a dangerous place to do that, as you can just as easily get noticed for the wrong things. When you come back, I wouldn't worry about CVUA and I would suggest avoiding admin areas completely, instead learning about editing, sourcing, format and the other things that really matter: Content for the reader. That is why we are all really here anyway. Learning to spot and block vandals is the easiest thing an admin does. It is pretty obvious stuff. Learning how to properly write, edit, discuss, reach consensus, compromise and just get along in a collegiate manner are the more important lessons to learn. And yes, being an admin is overrated here anyway. I waited over 5 years before seeking the bit, and there are plenty of days I wish I wasn't one. We aren't the bosses here, just the janitors.

bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the

Hi Connor,
Welcome back. You quickly reverted an edit simply stating at it didn't explain the edit. While edit summaries are helpful, they are not required. Please try to only revert edits if you have reason to believe they are incorrect. In this case, a quick check of the AA schedule would have found that they don't fly ORD-YYZ mainline, so the edit was correct. In this case, you also left a note on the anon editor's talk page admonishing him/her (politely) for the 'incorrect' edit. If you leave such a warning, please be particularly sure that you're right that the editor was in error! I suggest an apology to the IP might be in order.
Moreover, I'd like to echo many of the recent comments here. I suggest that the best way for a relative newcomer like yourself to contribute effectively to Wikipedia is to focus on the main article space, not administration, bureaucracy, and aggressively pursuing vandalism. You'll encounter plenty of bureaucracy along the way, and it will tend to be in better context for you if you encounter it organically as part of your main space edits than if you seek out the bureaucracy actively. Also, Twinkle, rollback, and the like can get one into trouble, as seems to have happened to you in a few places. Those tools can inadvertently cause one to spend less time thinking about edits, which can lead to significant mistakes. If you do continue to aggressively pursue vandalism with these tools, ensure you understand the definition of vandalism; many of your edits suggest you don't.
Lastly, a habit of removing comments from your talk page, while certainly allowed, can make it appear like you have something to hide, particularly when you selectively remove comments. I recommend being a little more conservative in how quickly you remove edits.
Happy editing! —Alex ( ASHill | talk | contribs) 23:59, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Also, I archive all of the comments. So, if you see it has been deleted, then it is likely been archived. This is a more professional way to do things. Anywho, thanks for the help. Cheers!

Hi.. WorldTraveller101.. Stop your sloppy vandalism work!!! You recently undid several constructive contributions by IP
70.247.166.76 citing it as
unsourced content. I am no worldtraveller, but it took me less then 30 secs for each page, to verify the information added by IP using the sourced provided in the article already. You can consider this as final or only warning as you have been previously notified several time by different editors about you undoing constructive edits of others. Next time you repeat this, you may be indefinitely blocked (as you have already been blocked 4 times) or if possible banned from so called anti-vandalism work. Plus you issued two consecutive level1 and level2 warning to 70.247.166.76, which is again a violation of WP policies. IP 70.247.166.76 did not do any "un sourced" editing after level1 warning, so a level2 warning is unfair. Similarly your behaviour in the edit summaries is also not proper. I demand that you apologise to this IP. I know that you did not apologise to 142.240.200.7. But this time you do.--Vigyani

I just wanted to let you know that the little templated decision tags are generally for use by administrators making a more or less official "call" on the actionability of the report. I quite agree with the call you made, but just for propriety and clarity's sake (though you did identify yourself as a non-admin), it might be best to avoid using those templates in future.

Hello WorldTraveller101, Could I just draw your attention to the recent edits made on the San Francisco International Airport?

I personally can't help much more than to warn him with harder words, since he had 'warred many times before. For you, this is basically your general reminder to not 'war. Don't revert again. If he is removing other things you dislike, bring it to the article's talk page to get some consensus. Thanks for notifying me, David. WorldTraveller101( Trouble?/ My Work) 00:42, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
I'd note at the SPI that that account's been blocked (although, to be fair, it was the socking more than the username. I think it or one of JY's other socks that has a similar name was reported to UAA sometime back, and the consensus (such as it was) was that it was not offensive enough to block on sight (I've seen that on T-shirts), but that someone could and should gently persuade him to request a change. Daniel Case ( talk) 02:30, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
I personally am against the adminship of of ChrisGualtieri. He may be helpful in alot of articles and editors but most definitely not impartial and I fear will only abuse his administrative power.

This editor is NOT ready to be an admin yet. Lucia Black ( talk) 08:56, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
For the past few months edit war between me, ryulong and chrisgualtieri about splitting content, even though no consensus was in his favor, he continued to disrupt. And eventually gave up. I'm no saint, but what I say is the truth. Not lies and not slander. I have User:knowledgekid also bringing him to ANI for personal attacks against me.

How? The comment history is there. For ghost in the shell, you edit warred 3 times ok n the same subject and consensus was against you. If it wasnt for each ANI, you wouldve continued ti edit war. You have called me a troll at least twice. You try to use NPA fir the same reasons I use NPA against you. Proving what ive said isnt going to disprove what youve said. Lucia Black ( talk) 18:39, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
I cant prove it the exact same way Chris does. I dont have a computer. It would literally take me a whole day to find all these links and copy and paste them using smartphone because it doesnt always copy and paste in the area I want it to. Still, that doesnt mean proof is non existent. History pages of talk:Ghost in the Shell, talk:Ghost in the Shell (manga) talk: List of Ghost in the Shell chapters and even talk: Dragon Ball was uncalled for. WT:ANIME also shows where knowledgekid attempted to push Chris in ANI, in which I wasnt for nor against. Still, proof is easy access for you. I dont think you actually need me to provide specific links. In all the ones that hes involved in also shows his own comments Lucia Black ( talk) 20:13, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Leaving messages such as this one on the talk page of an account blocked for sockpuppetry is not only unhelpful, it actually just serves to exacerbate the problem. Serial sockpuppeteers thrive on causing disruption and being noticed. By getting yourself worked up you're just playing into their hands. If you think you have identified a possible sock account, your best route is to open an SPI, present your evidence, and the to allow the clerks, admins and (if necessary) checkusers to review the evidence. After that just walk away and deny the attention-getter any further recognition. -- Jezebel'sPonyo bons mots 22:08, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Connor,
You archived a bunch of comment threads that were less than 12 hours old, including one thread that had a comment 17 minutes before you archived. What's the rush? I can't imagine why comments less than a few months old need to be archived on a talk page with this much traffic. In particular, I was trying to find the helpful comment by an anonymous IP to aid in tracking down statistics references for Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. Archiving so quickly fragments discussions and makes it harder to find comments I knew were made very recently.

Hi WT. I'm afraid that this time it's an official request. While we appreciate your enthusiasm (and you appear to have done some good work catching a sock), you are still getting things wrong far too often. This just makes more work for experienced editors and admins, and that's not the way for us to combat backlogs and get things done smoothly. Too many errors are considered WP:DISRUPTION and if it persists it can be met with a block.
You have some experience of ANI already and I'm sure you don't want to be on the receiving end of a complaint there. Please just continue to do your best work by adding content to the encyclopedia for a while.
I'm therefore asking you officially to STOP working in maintenance areas now until you have successfully completed a mentoring programme, and I or another admin has reviewed the results. I'm sure you understand, and if you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask me. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 04:07, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Ramaksoud2000,Though you may be correct on this issue I don't think this is the right way to solve problems, shouting at this user is only going to make problems worse for everyone, the only way to do this is a democratic way to teach him whats right and wrong, be kind to this user, don't shout at him or accuse him of things exctera, remember were not being fascist dictators here, Wikipedia is a democratic society.
On the other hand WT101, when you report an I.P for vandalism make sure he has been given level 4 warnings ahead of time, look at the edit summary, and see if the editor has put in constructive information, Google it if you are not sure, if it is incorrect, you revert it marked as a good faith edit, not a disruptive one or vandalism. figuring out if its vandalism or not is simple, look for reapeating characters like; "dfdfsdfsdfs" or shouting like; "I HATE WIKIPEDIAAAA", or even profane language; "You Suck PINGAS". These would be classified as vandalism. Cheers! JackFrost2121( Frostbitten?/ My Work) 04:14, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

You have four or five featured article topicons all with the same reasoning "Contributed significantly to maintain featured article rating", however, I have found that there are precisely zero edits made to Boeing 757, one of the topicons, with this account or your previous. I have not checked the others. What exactly are your intentions?
Regarding your revert of my edit on the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol article: I didn't just re-write the section because of the very poor writing, I also re-wrote it because the "extra" information was wrong. PH-TKC was not scrapped; it was repaired and remained in service with Transavia for several more years. The airplane is still flying today as G-LSAN for Jet2 Holidays.

User talk:WorldTraveller101, is considered
bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the

Hallo! I have noticed you edit a lot of airport articles and was wondering if you would fancy looking at a UK airport. Blackpool International Airport may only be a small airport but its got quite a lot of history and events. Overall the article looks great but there are quite a lot of parts without references. I have especially noticed the Accident and Incident section has very few references. I am from Blackpool and am really interested in finding out if these facts are true! (though i've set myself on a path of writing children's law articles instead.. much more boring!)

The gates in Terminal 2 have been renumbered from C60 to C70. You also reverted a lot of other edits saying Terminal 3 is still active. Respectfully it no longer is and that is why Terminal 2 gates were renumbered. Delta website JFK map and Port Authority flight status pages show the renumbering.

Request reason:
I re-added it as a Level 4, because that was more appropriate and I did let him know about it. In the ANI Post about Lucia Black, I was trying to see if we could get some sort of a cool down. There was a reason to asking PBASH607 if I could modify it. He says that he has no problem, as long as he is notified and it is appropriate (in this case it was). On the other hand, I am truly apologetic and regretful if this caused major disruption, which it unfortunately might've made. Please remember that I did intend to help, and not hurt. Thanks. WorldTraveller101 Breaks Fixes 11:02, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Here's where you are wrong: the warnings on Lucia Black's page were not at all appropriate. You bizarrely have claimed that she's "hounding" PBASH simply because she asked him to stay off her talkpage. Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. He was hounding her by continuing to post there after she asked him to stop, and indeed should have been blocked himself. You simply took up the mantle, and fecked up badly on this case - period. Although you claim to be intending to help, not hurt, your entire involvement with Lucia Black has CLEARLY been intended to hurt one person: her. Competence is required, and you currently do not show the level of mature understanding to know when to act, and when to not act ... this was a wrong time to act, and policy is 100% against you on this one. Your failure to recognize the impropriety of even THINKING of acting was bad enough - combined with the fact that you have been told NUMEROUS times to NEVER EDIT SOMEONE'S POST EVER is actually the small part of this block ( ✉→ BWilkins ←✎) 11:21, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am truly sorry for the regretful and embarrassing episodes that went on. When I posted to ANI, I really wanted an admin to help Lucia cool down, and perhaps, get some opinion from uninvolved users and admins. I am also extremely sorry for the accusations made. Some were big accusations that I should've known better first. The refactor was a poor decision on my part (although I did consult Prabash of such change) and I am seriously apologetic to all for my poor judgment and any possible disruption that arose, especially Lucia. My main goal when I'm unblocked is to continue to "pretty" my user page, increase my article-space edit count (I'm almost at 800, I want to reach 1,000 and start to increase to 1,500 ; 2,000 ; etc). I also promise that except for an apology, to leave Lucia alone [minus a WikiLove/apology] and to focus on getting various articles, such as John F. Kennedy International Airport to at least an A-class rating. I will avoid SPI, ANI, and AN for the most part, except for some instances where I make helpful comments (but those will be very scarce/rare). In terms of refactoring, I will consult the user and explain the change and they will decide if they want/think they need to change it. I am to not change it myself. Thanks for the reminders and I hope to get to constructive editing soon. Thanks. WorldTraveller101 Breaks Fixes 19:39, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
{{subst:Decline per lack of a compelling reason. Making your user page "pretty", upping your edit count, and editing the airport article can all wait a couple of weeks. I strongly suggest following Bwilkins's very good advice as the next block is likely to be indefinite, and it's up to you not to let that happen. I'm disinclined to unblock anyone blocked for something so egregious without a very very good reason, and none seems to be present.}} Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Yeah seriously, Connor, I advise you to STOP requesting for unblock for this one. You have been blocked again and again for the same old mistake, including this block you are serving right now, and that is absolutely enough for any admin to decline your unblock. IMHO, the admin who blocked you ( JamesBWatson) is a wise and reasonable guy, and definitely has a valid reason whenever he decides whether or not to block someone. Moreover, the admins have given you enough repeated warnings for your old mistake. I am not able to review your unblock request, but I also share the other admins' sentiments. Anyway, you have already admitted that you are feeling troubled and that is disturbing the way you edit Wikipedia, your edit count, behavior and so on. So, why don't you just take 2 weeks off (or should I say wikibreak) and study well for your exams. At the same time, think how you want to edit Wikipedia properly in future and how you can prevent yourself from getting an indef block. Then, come back fresh on the 26th of June.

I would like to once again say that I am extremely sorry for all disruption that occurred and I personally would like to move past this. I'd love to get back to airport articles and helping out there. I'm currently setting out to try and get some of the airport articles to GA-class (most are B-class right now) and would like to help other topics I'm familiar with. I also will abide to the following conditions: * I will take advantage of

I will get more guidance, try to resolve problems by getting advice, etc. * I will not refactor talk pages, such as tags, wording, etc. If I want something to be changed, I will ask the editor who made the comment/warning if they are willing to change it. I will only add if needed. * If I am having trouble with a problematic user, I will go get advice from more experienced editors. * I will not work with
SPI,
ANI, etc until I have a better grasp for all of those areas (but that won't be for a while. * If I notice a problem, such as

Decline reason:
Declined per your withdrawal of the request - the pattern of similar problems means that you were probably unlikely to find an admin willing to overturn it anyway. There's good advice above - you obviously have plenty to contribute to the encyclopedia, you just need to take some time to seriously think about which aspects of your contributions are helpful, and which aspects aren't. With some more thought, you may well do far better at helping the encyclopedia, and avoiding getting yelled at, once you're back. Best wishes. ~ mazca talk 15:28, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Though you may be blocked from editing, you may still prepare to do some nice contribs after unblocked. Im going to take some of my time to do this for you. Consider this my private tutorials for you, it may seem similar to a Adoption course but it goes more in depth and fuun stuff.
You go to
Lexington? That's cool. I've been to a few debates there, I think. Well, I don't believe we've been introduced, but I noticed we have a bit in common, including living on the North Shore, a fondness for travel, and an occasional habit to get ourselves in trouble at ANI.
But, anyways, as an expert giver of unsolicited advice, I thought I'd drop by and say hello. I see that some users have been complaining about your maturity... having reached the oh-so-mature age of 17 myself, I can tell you with some certainty that if I'd started editing Wikipedia when you did, I'd've gotten myself into far more trouble than you have. So... two weeks is a lot of time to think, and the weather's supposed to get nice over the weekend, so I hope you can make the best of this block. It's tough to avoid getting sucked in to some of the darker parts of Wikipedia, but if you learn from your mistakes then you'll come out of everything mostly unscathed (although, if you're anything like me, you'll probably have some nights where you're going to sleep and suddenly realize "Oh, I sounded really dumb in that discussion over such-and-such"). —

Hello again, WorldTraveller101. I blocked you, but I didn't then leave it at that and forget about you. I have kept coming back to this page, and I have read every word of everything that has been posted here since I blocked you. I would not have bothered to spend my time doing that if I thought you were just a disruptive editor with no chance of being helpful. I am 100% sure that you have good intentions, and I am 100% sure that you have the potential to be a very useful Wikipedia editor. Who knows - maybe one day you will even make a good Wikipedia administrator. However, you have been trying to run before you can walk. When I saw your latest unblock request, I actually considered accepting it, because you really do seem willing to hold back from doing the things that have caused problems. However, I could see that consensus was against an unblock, and when I thought about it some more I decided it was probably better to let the block run its course. You have the potential to be a constructive editor over a period of years, if you choose to, and two weeks out is a minor blip. However, perhaps the knowledge that you are being forced to take a two-week break has focused your mind on the issues surrounding your editing, in which case it has been helpful. You have been given a lot of good advice, and I have nothing really new to add, but perhaps I can add my own emphasis to something that has already been said. Concentrate for now on what you are best at, which is editing articles. A lot of other things are also important, including dealing with troublesome editors, but right now you should keep away from those things. How long does "right now" mean? Impossible to say, but at least six months, and very likely a couple of years. That may seem like an impossibly long time, but it isn't. It was about three and a half years between when I created this account and when I got rollbacker rights, and not far short of four years before I became an administrator (and longer than that if we count from when I started editing anonymously, rather than from when I created an account). I didn't spend that time itching and fretting because I couldn't do everything, I just got on with doing what I could, which was mostly making very small improvements to articles. When I eventually did become an administrator, I believe I did a better job of it because I had built up a lot of experience of how Wikipedia works while doing small things.
Finally, let me emphasise a point I have already mentioned. I would not have spent my time writing this unless I thought that it might be helpful to an editor who has the potential to become a very useful Wikipedian. Just take it one step at a time, and don't try to do things that you are not yet ready to do. JamesBWatson ( talk) 19:24, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi guys,
Words cannot describe my appreciation for the advice everyone has given me. James is spot on in saying that I have potential to be a great editor [and perhaps an admin someday], but right now, I'm biting more than I can chew. I agree, as being a useful Wikipedian is indeed my goal. Getting an article to GA, A, FA-class, etc is indeed a good goal since it is content creation...it helps the reader understand.
In terms of my block, as much I would've rather had 10 days (since exams run until Thursday and then Friday is a cool down day), but 2 weeks is 2 weeks and there is no point in arguing further. Also, there were some other editors who probably supported an unblock, but plenty opposed, so I also agree there. Quite frankly, I still have Spanish, math, and U.S History exams this week. Friday, there is school, but nothing happens really...just make-ups and report cards. After that, my block will almost be up.
Thanks for the advice guys. Happy editing. WorldTraveller101 Breaks Fixes 19:59, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi guys. I noticed that User:Anna Frodesiak has an RfA ending approximately two days before my block expires.
