Jinotepe Nicaragua
For me is seems as about both the city and the municipality because the population of the minicipality is in the infobox not the metropopulation as it seems. Jinotepe is not a metropolitan area. There is only one metropolitan area in Nicaragua and it's Managua. Dampbarn (talk) 13:13, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The article starts with The city of Jinotega. The second paragraph start with "The city is located (...)". What makes you think then that it is about a municipality?
 * So, sorry, but I again reverted your incorrect edit. The Banner  talk 13:35, 2 January 2021 (UTC) Beside that, the article is about Jinotega, not Jinotepe.

What are "maintenance pages"?
Hi. I don't know what you mean. Arminden (talk) 13:35, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Even Wikipedia has maintenance work done. Part of that maintenance is correcting links to disambiguation pages, like mentioned on Articles With Multiple Dablinks. Those pages are maintained by a robot. I am working on cleaning up those links to disambiguation pages but sometimes you have to use a trick to tell that robot that the link is valid, although it is pointing to a disambiguation page. What I was doing was adding that trick. The Banner  talk 14:40, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I see. And I don't. Aren't [ro]bots administered by real people, those who write the code and improve it? Talking of maintenance :) This approach is a bit kafkaesque, you might find out that the castle door has always been open, but you figured out how to create counterintuitive tricks from outside, rather than ask the guard to allow you to go in (or ask him to go & fix it). WP is all a work in progress, done by people with user accounts, at least that's what I understood. So? Cheers, Arminden (talk) 01:01, 8 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I hope you won't mind if I place this question also at Teahouse. Arminden (talk) 01:03, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Template:Neo-fascism
Hi there, I'm not vandalizing Template:Neo-fascism, Operation Condor and the Guatemalan coup had nothing to do with Neo-fascism, so I removed them, I also added the 1981 coup attempt in Spain, because, unlike the previous two, it was actually Neo-fascist, that's all. -- 138.122.83.20 (talk) 21:06, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have removed your vandalism again. The Banner  talk 21:10, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

That was not wise
I don't find this productive. It was not me who started to count edits, I've just picked the first reasonable version that was not made by that ostensibly "problematic" user. Keeping in mind that the article may be fully protected at any moment due to an ongoing edit war, this your revert (which might be quite legitimate in other circumstances) just adds more drama. I would be grateful if you found some way to resolve all that nonsense.--Paul Siebert (talk) 01:32, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Your edit was also unwise. And I did not start the drama, that were one Paul Siebert and Whizz40. I am not interested in your games. The Banner  talk 01:42, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Tyne and Wear Metro RDT
Hello, I noticed your recent edit to Template:TWM Yellow line RDT broke some links. I wasn't sure why you made the edit so thought I should leave you a message, rather than reverting. Best wishes NemesisAT (talk) 20:52, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * At the moment I changed them, they were all links to disambiguation pages. If you revert, please check the links to be correct. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 21:36, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah okay, I'm not sure what happened but the links all appear to be working in the older revision now, so I've reverted your edit. Thanks NemesisAT (talk) 22:41, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * My guess is that someone else noticed the links to the disambiguation pages and repaired the underlying templates/modules without noticing that I had already solved the problem in an alternative way, thus creating new problems.

Beaulieu
Dear The Banner. I don't understand your reason to change the profession my father held at restaurant Beaulieu. From 1963 to 1970 he was RESTAURATEUR of restaurant Beaulieu at Castle Doorwerth. Chef at the time was Albert Emke who became restaurateur after my father left in 1970.

You claim sources my father was Chef. Please show that source. The Michelin links only mention the restaurant name.

But more important... I am his son. I should know.

So please leave his profession at RESTAURATEUR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brenn (talk • contribs) 19:30, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:RS and WP:OR. The knowledge of a son is unfortunately not an acceptable source for Wikipedia. I should be published somewhere, by a third party. Sorry. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 20:32, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * All good, but where does it say he was the Chef? That source is nowhere to be found.Brenn (talk) 12:58, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You are right, I found confirmation that Albert Enke was the chef and that your father was the leaseholder. But if you disagree with that, I am willing to remove the whole Brenninkmeijer connection. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 13:20, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

They seem to have the ability to pop up on a new IP at will but that's not something I'm knowledgeable about, or as to whether this is an active strategy or something that they are unaware of and only benefitting by accident. I've seen this IP-hopping with the most apparently incompetent socks.

Hello, I understand you dislike the topic of that Verdis article but please leave it alone. It was approved for redirect and has obtained more sources than RTL, VentsMagazine, LikaKlub and more. That sockpuppet user hasn't been around for a while.

If Verdis has to go then Molossia and Sealand would have to go too. I suggest just leaving it alone. That's my point of view.

Notice
Your recent editing history at Terra nullius shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you being blocked from editing&mdash;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&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

If you think it has such little importance, you may as well remove the 'Enclava' mention in that too which only has one site source. Acc013 (talk) 10:53, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Those are reliable sources, and I'm only getting personal because I've had to repeat the same thing to you multiple times. Those sources are reliably independent. Stop switching up the story. Before you even said they were 'owned' by the 'micronation'. I looked into POV-Pushing and thats clearly what you're trying to do. You seem to not agree with that micronations views. I don't entirely agree with all of their views either but I still remain neutral.

I've just spent 15 minutes going through this, and to cut a long story short - 92.24.246.11 is right and you are wrong, especially since they started a talk page section that was focused entirely on the content. While the complaint that "good grief, they're arguing over a semicolon?" is fair, the IP was the one who actually took the constructive action to get the issue resolved, instead of falsely accusing a good faith editor of vandalism and responding to their comments about article content with personal attacks.

Hello, I'd like to have a discussion on the many edits that you've done to the article. I do agree that some of the wording is superfluous in the article however a lot of what was removed has no proper basis for removal. For example, you removed the section in the introduction discussing about notable alumni. In editing this article, I was basing the format and the way it was written according to other articles such as Harvard University, Georgetown University, Yale University etc. You described the edit as 'promo' when other articles are doing it. If other articles were written that way, then by your logic, a lot of these articles that indicate their notable alumni on the introduction should all be heavily edited or removed. There has yet to be edits and discussions on improving the article and I would like to suggest that you discuss them on the talk page of the article prior to making huge edits. Thank you. Codayoda (talk) 09:01, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Codayoda;


 * It is not my responsibility to check if other articles make the same promotional stuff and act upon that. I have seen too many sockpuppets/marketeers/fans edits on Ateneo-related articles to have many qualms about radical editing in that field.
 * About the alumni, at best it belongs to the section about the alumni, not in the lead. And even then it should be sourced. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 10:05, 18 June 2021 (UTC)


 * And yes, I noticed that you are (nearly) only editing ateneo-articles, making you a Single-purpose account. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 10:08, 18 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I'd like to inform you that I'm a new user and have yet to edit other articles, forgive me as I'm using Ateneo as an article I can practice my editing on. I'm not a Single-purpose account like what you claim. It does not still answer the fact that your removal does not have basis. You're saying "It's not my responsibility" WHILE not acting the same way on other articles. The treatment and attitude towards it is unfair. I understand that there are too many marketeer/fan edits on Ateneo-related articles and I agree on that part. This is why there is a talk discussion that was opened to discuss and suggest edits on the article. But to enforce such a "rule" should then also be enforced on other articles. Why then aren't you making edits on the articles I've cited? Why does it have to be specifically this school? Not to mention, the University of the Philippines also does the same edit. Why don't you do that towards that article as well? What's the point of editing when you remove big chunks of content and don't replace/rewrite it? Codayoda (talk) 10:26, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Just as you, I am a volunteer and I have no "duty" to edit articles outside my sight. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 10:58, 18 June 2021 (UTC)


 * To be clear, I'd also like to say that I agree with some of your edits. There were parts were it was necessary to remove as a lot of the info were copied from the primary source. Codayoda (talk) 10:36, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

June 2021
Your recent editing history at Small car shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you being blocked from editing&mdash;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&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

A short thank you
I just wanted to say thank you for the many important, but overlooked, edits you have made over the years to help make Wikipedia readable! If you see that I have made any mistakes in my editing, please let me know as I’m quite rusty on many areas. But I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate what you have done on the project. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 23:43, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Interaction ban
On 13th of June you made an edit at Anna van Egmont which was a violation of your interaction ban. If I see anything similar again I shall block your account for a significant time, even if, as on this occasion, I become aware of the infringement only some time later. JBW (talk) 08:36, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

It was only after I posted the message above that I saw you had already posted a query to me about it. The fact that you asked about it does put what you did in a different light. However, you must have known that the edit you made was altering text posted by an editor with whom you had an interaction ban. The edit was, frankly, too trivial to be worth bothering about either way, which contributed to my negative view of the complaint about it, but it also must raise doubts about your motivation in making the change. It would certainly be possible to view it as a deliberate act of defiance, or, to use the wording another editor has used, "poking" the other person involved. Please stay 1000 miles away from anything that anyone might possibly regard as relating to the interaction ban. In view of previous incidents, the very fact that an infringing edit appears trivial is likely to increase any doubts any editors may have that it was done in good faith. Pushing close to the edge would be very unwise. JBW (talk) 09:25, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, fair. But to me his request looks like a breach in itself (plus a personal attack and harassment). The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 12:00, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Chevrolet Spark potential edit warring
The recent edits in this article have devolved rapidly into what is, as far as I can tell, something too close to edit warring, for me to be comfortable. Could you take a look, and see what you think -- and keep an eye on it for the time being? It can help to have the eyeballs of a third party. Thanks, 842U (talk) 10:50, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify, this is my explanation. Andra Febrian (talk) 11:36, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive editing?
You have made highly questionable edits to Box (disambiguation) which did not have any discussion nor consensus. You have not responded to my request for explanation on the Talk page. Here are a couple of examples:
 * Penalty box had been in two locations on the Disambiguation Page. I removed one of them thinking this was an obvious improvement.  No need for a double listing.  You reverted my improvement.   Now, again, Penalty Box is listed twice.  What is your logic for this double listing?
 * The People section correctly lists a link to Box (surname) but then also includes a separate listing of Henry Box Brown. Since Henry is listed on the Box (surname) page, I had removed it from the Disambiguation page.  You put Henry back.   Why is it so important for Henry to be included separately on the Disambiguation page?
 * I had added a link to Juice box on the Box Disambiguation Page. This seemed obvious and not at all controversial.  You removed this link without any discussion.  Please tell me why you insist that Juice box not be listed on the Box Disambiguation page.

I could easily make these and other improvements again but you would likely revert any of my edits again; I do not want to get into an Edit War. I am asking you to repair the damage you have done to the Box Disambiguation Page. Of course you are welcome to make constructive edits to improve it beyond my efforts. Please respond to the questions on the Talk page and keep your edits positive. Pkgx (talk) 15:14, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * What I see is a poorly thought off proposal what was rushed through without proper discussion. And I see a very rude, condescending remark like "Welcome to the party but it is over." Clearly, you are not intending to start a serious discussion. I hope it is not your intention to start an editwar and recreate 200+ links to disambiguation pages as you did before. So, do not engage in disruptive editing. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 16:01, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * And I have no problems with you improving the disambiguation page. I do however have a problem with the nearly undiscussed merger and the tragic side effects of that merger. Certainly when people object to the merger. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 16:32, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Stefan Matz revert
Hello! So, you reverted an edit I made for this particular page, and you said the information I removed was not redundant because the subject's establishment earned a Michelin star while he was there. I am trying to understand how this isn't redundant. Is the subject still at Ashford Castle or not? The sentence related to the Erriseak House, is word-for-word the same, with the same references. Please let me know what you think.

"Stefan Matz is a German head chef of Ashford Castle and The g Hotel. He was, together with his brother, owner of the Michelin starred restaurant and hotel Erriseask House in Ballyconneely in County Galway, Ireland.[1][2][3]

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please see what is not vandalism for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you.46.208.152.48 (talk) 06:55, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Advice
Hi - the IP was an LTA, but not a vandal - that individual doesn't vandalise, their issues are more around collaboration. They were correct on the matter of substance though - you've got to stop reverting edits that might be good faith as if they are obvious vandalism. And if someone comes to your talk page to complain about being reverted, I'd expect to see an apology, or at least an explanation, rather than your response above. I appreciate that you've said you're trying to improve - please keep trying. Thanks Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  13:24, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If have put his case-file on my watchlist. Next time I will not revert but report straight away, saving the community another dance. And I hope to see some apologies too for (and I am now paraphrasing) "seeing sockpuppets every where" as I was right about that. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 13:36, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The thing is, not all IPs who seem experienced belong to LTAs. Some long-term productive editors have static IPs, and you become familiar with them. There are also experienced editors who have dynamic IPs however - whether they've had an account in the past and just edit anonymously nowadays (which is permitted, provided the account isn't blocked), or they just never felt like creating an account. You can't assume that an IP who is obviously familiar with how things work is evading a block (although, in this case, a quick look at their overall contribs made it clear who they were).
 * I see further up that you were dismissive towards 8Dodo8 as well, doubling down on your accusation of vandalism when they've come to your talk to discuss the edits. You can't keep treating people like that - they might be misguided, but unless they're obviously trying to screw things up, don't call them vandals. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  13:56, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * True, that was not a good idea. I only later learned that it had to do with politics, court cases and personal preferences. But also with disregard for the MOS. So I backed out of there. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 14:04, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You backed out, but did you apologise? I don't know, maybe you did somewhere else, but the thread above looks like you just washed your hands of it after insulting someone.
 * Look, I'm not trying to browbeat you here, but folk over at ANI had legitimate concerns about you being too free with the rollback tool and vandalism warnings. I think it would help if you'd just say that you recognise that you have been sometimes been treating people badly, and agree to try to treat them better. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  14:11, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * It were good faith edits from my side, but I will act less tough against dubious (in my eyes) edits. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 16:29, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I know you were acting in good faith, that was never in any doubt - it's just about recognising that dubious editing is not always vandalism. Only revert without an edit summary if an edit is unambiguous vandalism; otherwise, leave an edit summary and, if you're going to give them a template, use one that is relevant to the problem.

 * Why would you use a redirect when a direct link is sufficient? The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 19:27, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a direct link with a section specification (Data-rate units). If someone changes the section name in the Data-rate units article, the link will be broken. We don't have tools to efficiently find and repair these problems. A redirect provides a central place where updates like this can be accommodated.

You need to undo your changes, as the ones prior reflected the truth of what occurred, and not the simplistic pro-USA narrative your changes have now reinstated, after being corrected in the first place.

Question
Hello, I am new to Wikipedia and I have been updating our FSCC page to make the information accurate. The comment written prior was that it had been written like an essay so I am reworking it so it is just the facts. You marked COI, and yes I am a sister, but I have the history of our order and so that is why I am trying to update the information on the page. Are you saying I need to give the information to a friend to update the page? Just trying to understand the rules. Also I am curious why placing our mission statement, which is the foundation of our Order, is seen as promotional? I noticed you had deleted this for this reason. So a question in trying to understand is that I see on the US Army page, for example, that it states "As a branch of the armed forces, the mission of the U.S. Army is "to fight and win our Nation's wars, by providing prompt, sustained land dominance, across the full range of military operations and the spectrum of conflict, in support of combatant commanders". I am curious why this is approved but our mission is deleted? Again just trying to understand. Any feedback is appreciated as I am learning. Many Blessings to you on this day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CloganFSCC (talk • contribs) 19:06, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Michelin_Guide#Stars
Hello, I'm Aclub.biz. I noticed that you reverted my change to an article Michelin_Guide, with a comment "removed double info". Perhaps this what I added is a double info, however, in the specific section "2.1	Stars" a Wiki-user should read about stars, what it is and for what purpose. This is not the case at this moment. In bigger articles, table of contents is provided, so that a Wiki-user can jump into information of interest without a need of reading all the article. The current content about "reviewers" and "The French chef Paul Bocuse" is not saying anything about Start (name of the subsection); it firts to "Methods and layout" (section) but not "Stars" (subsection); only the last sentence fits to "Stars" at this moment... Cleaning and putting content in order is needed here. Aclub.biz (talk) 14:32, 15 November 2021 (CET)
 * Already in the second sentence it states: The Guide awards up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments. So what you added was adding information already stated before. The same info, but now with pictures and more in-depth, is mentioned under the header "History". The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 14:54, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * This part (1-2-3 stars) - I can agree, but the content of "Stars" subsection is still not OK in my opinion, as described above. Aclub.biz (talk) 17:07, 15 November 2021 (CET)
 * I advice you to read the article a bit better. Especially the heading of chapter 2, what states that it is about the method used. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 18:05, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

apologies
Hi The Banner - I'm new here, so apologies. I'm just a rookie. Conrad has opened up two new restaurants. here in St Francis Bay. I was just adding to the list. I still don't see the new restaurants listed anywhere but I don't obviously know what I am doing Ekodek (talk) 15:10, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Meelick GAA Deletion
Yes it is very very frustrating. Clearly these experts are just picking and choosing their guidelines. I actually created five seperate Clare club pages on the same day. They decided to completely delete my Meelick GAA page. They also moved both Broadford GAA (Clare) & Bodyke GAA to drafts with no pending decison. But Tubber GAA (Clare) & Parteen St. Nicholas' GAA (Clare) were accepted with no issue. Jesus wept! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muggins91 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you know the book "Clare GAA. The Club Scene 1887-2010" by Seamus O'Reilly? Theyc an not wave that away as a run of the mill source.  And if they do, you can use the book to smack them.    The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 15:15, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Flag template edits
Hi, Banner, I came to ask you a question concerning my edits. On your edit summaries you said, "at the time of the ambush the republic was not yet there", which confuses me because I'm pretty sure there was an Irish Republic from 1919 to 1922. Now is my understanding flawed? If so, can you please explain where I went wrong? Earle Bartibus Huxley (talk) 22:46, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * They made it very confusing but to my knowledge the Irish Republic was more a claim then a fully blown state. That came only with the recognised Provisional Government of Ireland (1922). The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 09:10, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I see. I personally think the flag templates can still be added, though. Because when a revolutionary person/organisation fights for a specific country to be established, their allegiance is still to that country regardless of whether or not it was more than a claim. So even though it may have just been a claim, it doesn't change the fact that the IRA still fought for the Irish Republic, as they did serve as its "official" army. Earle Bartibus Huxley (talk) 23:01, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * To my opinion that is a breach of WP:NPOV. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 23:35, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * How so? Did I give off the wrong impression in my reply? If so then that is my mistake. Earle Bartibus Huxley (talk) 21:36, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Because we offer facts. And the "Irish Republic" was not ruling the country. The English did (sort off). It would be different when you gave flaglinks to the IRA as they de facto were in control in large areas. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 21:58, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * But the IRA did swear an oath of allegiance to Dáil Éireann. I fail to see how adding flaglinks to the IRA would be different as they were on the same side. Earle Bartibus Huxley (talk) 22:00, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Because the IRA was in control, not the politicians. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 22:39, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * But weren't the IRA and the Dáil both fighting to establish the Irish Republic? Surely it wouldn't matter who had the most control or not? Earle Bartibus Huxley (talk) 23:30, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * At least to my opinion it does matter. As stated before, it is about the facts. The IRA was in control. But officially the English were in control and ruling the country (in fact hanging on on their fingernails and just ruling by a reign of terror). I suggest you ask the WikiProject Ireland for more opinion. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 07:30, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion. I might also consult WikiProject Irish republicanism because of the subject matter. Sorry if I came off as annoying during our exchanges. Earle Bartibus Huxley (talk) 22:12, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. As a Dutchman in Ireland I do not have the common emotions with the subject, so I hope I have a more neutral look. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 22:44, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Airport / airline refs
I have had a run in with this guy before for sockpuppetry (although not intentional just ignorance of protocol). This edit is typical of dozens and should be reverted. Fancy a pop a some of them (and yes I'm happy to help)? 10mmsocket (talk) 20:36, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have seen him quite often but do not have the knowledge to check his edits. Although I do think he should provide independent source. Sorry to disappoint you. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 20:48, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Also worth noting he edits as both SeanMoulton1997 and SeanM1997 despite having been warned about this.
 * TBH all I'm asking is that you keep an eye on those edits and when they're added revert them as not reliable sources. I'll remove those that I spot. No specialist knowledge - a reliable source WP:RS isn't being given --10mmsocket (talk) 21:02, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, I keep an eye out. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 21:06, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That's all you can do. Thank you very much. 10mmsocket (talk) 21:09, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have actively removed several entries today that were referenced only to the airline's front page (and often just a bare URL, not even a properly formatted reference. I expect some pushback. Any extra eyes will be welcome, and in the meantime keep tagging those articles! 10mmsocket (talk) 18:32, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

About the sockpuppet investigation
Hi! Mate, you are a bit confused :) The user Goalandgoal/Giegiewik is writing the OPPOSITE of what I am writing. I literallly undid one of his edit on 1 December. No harm done but please pay more attention :) Dante4786 (talk) 10:05, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

You or me?
So are you going to revert the dozen or more airline frontpage URL cites, or am I? Sigh... 10mmsocket (talk) 21:49, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Great Britain Olympic football team
Hi - I see that you and I are in danger of getting into an edit war about this, which neither of us want. The change of this page from a redirect to a disambiguation page was discussed and agreed (by the few who participated) at WP:Football (see here). As you will see, your concern about the large number of articles that were linked to this page was also discussed, and user: GiantSnowman has redirected the links to Great Britain men's Olympic football team. Unfortunately, there seems to be some technical glitch whereby the old links still appear when you click on "What links here" on the left-hand toolbar. Despite this, as far as I can see, the links do actually point to the men's article. For example, if you look at the edit history of the first two articles that appear on "What links here", Football at the 1920 Summer Olympics and Scotland national football team, you will see user: GiantSnowman's edits. Checking the articles themselves, you will see that neither article now includes a link to the Great Britain Olympic football team article. I don't know how the cache on here gets cleared - I thought this was automatic, but hopefully this will get sorted and the page can revert back to what it should be, a disambiguation page. Best wishes and season's greetings. Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 08:01, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * For your interest, the edit is again reverted, and not by me. Please solve the problem instead of dumping the mess on other peoples plate. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 09:22, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Sourcing on airport articles
I noticed you added a comment "Please use only independent sources. The airport and airlines itself are not independent sources." to Baikal International Airport without an edit summary. What policy or guideline supports this claim, and what discussion led you to believe that you should add this disclaimer in a bot-like fashion to thousands of articles? After some digging, I have come across Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation/Archive_21, which I don't think demonstrates consensus for your edits. User:力百 (alt of power~enwiki, π,  ν ) 02:49, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That discussion was more about removing source requests by a now blocked user.
 * By the way, all edits are manual as the quality of airport-articles is too dodgy to use a bot (that I do not have anyway). That poor quality of articles is why I do this and it is backed up by WP:RS. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 09:20, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not satisfied. I don't know what blocked user you are concerned about, and I also don't care.  You have added a disclaimer to over 1000 articles.  I would hope that you would wait for an affirmative demonstration of consensus before embarking on a quest that large. User:力百 (alt of power~enwiki,  π,  ν ) 03:48, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You point to another discussion, then it would be a good idea to research the whole story around that discussion and not just one symptom. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 09:08, 24 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I fully support your actions as sourcing of routes and airlines in airport articles is atrocious quality and inconsistent in its application. Good job on the disclaimers and the other changes you have made. 10mmsocket (talk) 08:36, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
