Hi, thanks for pointing out the wrong dash in the pipe for Boeing 787-8. I've run the dash and CT scripts again, fixing that one manually. I can't see any other issues. Can you let me know if there are? Tony(talk) 01:39, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
AA service to Budapest
Do you know if this route is seasonal or year-round. It is currently suspended this winter and it is to resume June 15, 2012 but it was denoted as "seasonal". However, I was able to find JFK-BUD route and vice-versa well into December 2012. Also, they used unreliable sources (airlineroute.net) to cite this route. Can you find another source to verify? Thanks! Snoozlepet (talk) 04:02, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Re: List of flag carriers
I'm only adding those carriers that say in the Wikipedia articles themselves that they are flag carriers. If you wish to pare the list down because of a lack of sources, you may do so. -- Denelson83 20:44, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Ehthiopian Airlines
I have an addition to the article.
IN 1957-58 I was at the U.S. Embassy, Khartoum. I flew in Oct, 1957 from Khartoum to Cairo and back on a Convair 240 flown by two pilots "supplied by TWA" from the U.S. and a
Greek Stewardess. I knew the pilot and was introducted to the co-pilot in flight in the cockpit. We three were under the weather from having been drinking all night until 3 A.M. at the local open air night club and took off at 9 A.M. I ws surprised to see them in the plane as I thought they were both on a long lay over and were not flying in the morning. We flew about 500 feet above the Nile to Cairo as the pilots could not see the instruments good enough and knew the river went through Cairo. No automatic pilot as it cost too much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.135.7 (talk) 05:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

A user continues to list LGW as a destination for Caribbean Airlines to begin in June 2012. However, it is still in the planning stage and has not announced a start date for it. Can you take a look? I have already removed it. I am also curious about the future destinations at Caribbean Airlines destinations (BOM, JNB, and LGW) cause they are listed as future destinations with no dates.

Air Mauritius edits - Feb 22, 2012
I don't understand what was wrong with my edits. They were just minor grammatical changes, rewording, etc. Here's an example of bad grammar:
"The company is the fourth Sub-Saharan biggest carrier."
Now here's my correction:
"Air Mauritius is the fourth-largest carrier in Sub-Saharan Africa."
Don't you think that sounds somewhat better? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chotiwala75 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

AA flights from DCA to LAX
Hey. I need a little help on something. American recently announced that they will launch flights between Los Angeles and Washington National Airport but a user continues to remove it saying flights are not for sale. Can you take a look? Thanks! Snoozlepet (talk) 16:23, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

3RR page says "A series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert." So, the twelve (12) edits I made between 23:02, 12 February 2012 and 23:17, 12 February 2012 inclusive, only counts as one revert for the purposes of the three-revert rule, and was more than 24 hours ago. Therefore I am not " in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, ", nor have I "already broken it."
Thank you and have a nice day.
Just to let you know, WP:3RR reads 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. Violations of the rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. You have clearly violated this rule.--Jetstreamer (talk) 23:51, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
I have not. As "clearly" shown in my contributions, I have made only thirteen (13) edits to the article of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The first edit is not a reversion. The next twelve (12) edits, according to the rules of 3RR that are "clearly" written on that page, constitute a single revert to the article. The only reason those edits are separate are because that is the easiest way for an unregistered editor to undo a series of edits that were themselves a reversion to a prior version.
Also, I resent that I have been given the 3RR warning while other reverters such as "N124BC" have not. This was probably an act of discrimination against an unregistered user, merely for the reason that the user is unregistered.
I win, I saw the discussion on the ATL airport article talk page where it was verified that I am correct regarding the above.23:06, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello there. Can anyone tell me why HBCAI is not archiving my threads? I've asked the user who runs it, who told me that everything seems to be ok, yet the bot stopped archiving in last December. Maybe someone went through the very same issue. Thanks.--JetstreamerTalk 23:41, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
The problem is not the index box, Misza's bot. (known issue). Either wait, do it manually or use another archive bot. The bot will likely start archiving again. hopefully... mabdul 11:57, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your response, but I explained the problem wrongly. The archiving process runs fine. It is the indexing that is not working since last December. This issue is also present at Talk:Iran–Iraq War/Archive index, so I believe the problem is not only mine.--JetstreamerTalk 16:24, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Mmmh, yeah I see. I added " User talk:Jetstreamer" to the template. Let's wait a day to see if this was problematic part. mabdul 16:47, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Ok, that didn't work. I will try now using a new index page, maybe the error is somewhere related to the old index page... mabdul 12:32, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Don't ask me, but with a captial I it is working... Either request a deletion of the "small index" page or redirect it ;) mabdul 08:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Oh lol, I see the problem: You created the "Index" page with the HTML comment and allowed the bot to do this, then moved the page to "index" and then the bot doesn't recognizes that he still has the permission. Simply delete the "index" page and let the bot reindex it there if you want to want a small i. I will leave a talkpage for the dev. mabdul 08:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I agree with you, but I dint think the link to the Swiss article was "spam" because the website has no ads message, it was only a list of aircraft registrations. I am checking all the airlines categories and the articles and I discovered so many articles with links to other website: airliners.net, planespotter.net, ch-aviation, while some article have a list of links regarding the airlines selling holidays and tickets too.

Turkish Airlines flight to Bilbao
Because a reliable source was not cited, you have deleted the change (flights to Bilbao) I made in Turkish Airlines destinations page. However, the same information without a reference or citation that says flights will begin in 28th of May is still in Bilbao Airport page. Shouldn't that content be deleted as well? As an airline employee, we regularly check the airlineroute.net for the latest updates in schedules/changes. Thanks. Vladivostox (talk) 11:14, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
Yes, it should be deleted as well. Please bear in mind that the requirement of any fact for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. You cannot add or change contents unless you provide reliable references supporting them. Verifiability is one of the few Wikipedia policies. Regards.--JetstreamerTalk 11:25, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sorry for the template.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines
I checked about 1700 articles regarding airlines in the english Wikipedia. I noticed that there is no uniformity in the articles. The majority of the articles have the “Portals” in the “External links”, sometimes in “See also” and seldom in “References”. I think it should use a bot or others systems, that I don’t know, to give uniformity to the articles so that they all appear in the same setting. I noticed that “References” sometimes are first of “External links”, sometimes appears after; it is the same for “Airlines of Country” and “Aviation lists” that are not present in all articles. Chesipiero (talk) 13:58, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Just take a look at WP:MOS. Separately, if you click a link to any portal, you won't be redirected outside Wikipedia; thus, portals are not external links.--JetstreamerTalk 14:00, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Nigeria Airways Flight 825
My source for the flight number can be found here[1]. A print source for the flight number is David Gero's book Aviation Disasters.
I did the link to the flight number because I was in the middle of creating an article on Flight 825. Around 40 minutes after I did the NA edit my crash article was completed.
Our editing has crossed paths before and you should know I don't do edits without a reason. WP:AGF would have been a better approach with me and you dropping me a note on my talk page. I'm online all day long and with the exception of when I'm sleeping at night, no more than a couple of hours between computer uses....William 14:51, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Well, regarding the same article, I still believe it lacks a proper reference for the number of the flight the way it is, unless the external link to AirDisaster.com is properly moved into the mainspace. Will do so if it's fine for you. Please accept my apologies for this edit.--JetstreamerTalk 21:58, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Apology accepted. I do make mistakes too in edits.
I just put a reference in for the Flight number. Here it is.[2] It's a 3rd reliable source I just found calling it Flight 825. BTW I read about this crash in Gero's book and when I saw no article had ever been done on it, I decided to create one. Viasa Flights 742 and 897 are two other of the 12-15 crash articles I've created. I know you follow Viasa too. Cheers....William 22:21, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello again. I noticed you added www.planecrashinfo.com as a source for the article. I just wanted to draw your attention to this DYK nomination, where that source was regarded as unreliable by the reviewer. I'd just move the external link into a reference and wipe out this controversial one. Please tell me what do you think.--JetstreamerTalk 23:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
You can fix it up whatever way you see fit....William 00:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Uganda Airways Flight 775
This crash[3] doesn't have an article but I'd like to create one. Would you like to help me. The two sections I would need help with are the crash description and the cause. These are both well described at ASN but I don't want to be copying them because its plagiarism and I am not the best writer at tech stuff. If you can do those sections, I'll do the rest of the article. What do you think? I see you follow Uganda Airways....William 23:49, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Sure, no problem. Have you got some sort of sandbox to write a draft of the article into? Or maybe you prefer to create it in my own space? I think we'll be more comfortable if we get the article started that way than directly creating and editing.--JetstreamerTalk 00:28, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
I'll start on it tomorrow. Tonight I have Florida Panthers hockey. Florida is my home. I will start the article in my sandbox and then notify you. One little tidbit of information I found on the flight and which I'll include is that Uganda's former ambassador to the Vatican was a survivor of the crash.
I started the article. Here it is.[4]...William 03:12, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Don't you see that there's a missing source in the “References” section?. I'm just requesting you to fix that error, since it's your edit that messed the article up the way it is, regardless the information it contains is wrong or not. You're using no common sense in maintaining the page in its current version. Given that you show no will in fixing your error, I will do it for you. By the way, I'm among the editors that took the article to its latest version by adding references where appropriate and making the necessary tidy, and you show less or no civility when threatening with reporting me to an admin.

Beacuse i talked with El Al and they wrote that they are operates only to Liege and New York.

They prefer destinations like Paris,London,Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Zurich and Chicago.Please do not add things that you are don't know. Thank you.--Friends147 (talk) 12:08, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
I repeat again that I'm not against anybody. It's just that "things that you know" or "things that you don't know" do not apply here. All information must be backed by reliable sources.

I received the message from you regarding the dates I had added to Pluna's historical fleet yesterday. Sorry about that. I'm not an expert at adding sources, especially when they are subscription based, but if you'd like to know what they were, they are:
Ascend Online Fleets (online.ascendworldwide.com)
Aero Transport Data Bank (www.atdb.aero)
Both are the most respected commercial aviation databases online, although unfortunately non-subscribers are only allowed to see a very limited amount of their content. Free sources such as Airfleets (www.airfleets.net) can also back my numbers up.
Currently I work as an aviation analyst for Ascend, so you could even cite me as a source.

Problems with references in many articles
Hello there. I'm noticing that many of the pages I watchlist are having problems with the referencing system, informing that one or many references are missing, when they are actually there (you may check Aerolíneas Argentinas for instance). The problem seems to be with references cited many times in the same article only. Has anyone mistankenly modified a template or something? Please check it out. Thanks.--JetstreamerTalk 13:31, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
That happens when a ref is reused using <ref name="xxx" /> but the original <ref name="xxx">...some source...</ref> was removed. You have to find the original ref and replace one of the reuses with it. WikiBlame can help identifying which edit removed a certain string. Regards SoWhy 13:59, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I know that, but neither of the references I'm talking about has been removed, yet there are a lot of reds in the "References" section in many of the articles I mention (e.g. Aerolíneas Argentinas, Ethiopian Airlines). Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 hasn't been edited since mid-April and it also has warnings of missing references. Particularly for Ethiopian Airlines, the reference numbering restarts many times throughout the article. Something weird is going on here...--JetstreamerTalk 14:05, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

With Flight 593, the only way I see fixing it is to strip the article down to text and then re-add the references. BTW if I did that, I'd likely discard some of the online citations. I see no reason why multiple references are needed for a sentence saying how many people are on board or that there were unauthorized people in the cockpit. Even if I were to take out some of the multiple references, the article should have in the vicinity of 10 and as we both know that's a good total for a 20 year old plane crash. I'll also look to google news archive for articles on the crash when it happened. Let me know what you think....William 12:54, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
I'm waiting for a response of anybobody telling me why lots of references suddenly dissapeared from many articles. This happended yesterday and then the problem got fixed some time later. I wonder if this has something to do with the navigator we both are using. Right now, I'm using Internet Explorer 9, with the RTM (KB982861) update. I'd prefer to leave anything the way it is until the issue is solved or an explanation is provided. By the way, the same problem is present at Ethiopian Airlines and Aerolíneas Argentinas, and LAM Mozambique Airlines, just to mention some articles.--JetstreamerTalk 13:20, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
@William. Regarding the removal of references, I think it's not a good idea to take them out from any article because they can be useful later. In the case you think some are not currently useful, you may move them to the bottom of the article and place them between a <!-- -->, thus hidding them from any reader. Nevertheless, in the particular case of this article, most of the references are necessary given that they provide different information each, despite it seems they are redundant. It took me some time to get them gathered, so I beg you not remove them from the mainspace. --JetstreamerTalk 13:20, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
The reference in this article and some of those airline ones, run all together. The references are longer than the sentences. It is very hard on the eyes if someone is trying to pick through it to find what's wrong.
I can't read it and frankly I get a headache just looking at it. Frankly I never understood why accessdates are important. You or another editor found the information on 1-22-2011. To a reader, is that important? Frankly from the point of a reader, it's not. From the viewpoint of this editor, its TMI.
The only way I can fix this article is to strip it, and put the references back in that best serve the article. You don't want to lose references, well right now some of them are lost because a reader is unable to see them because they're broken....William 14:09, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
The references are broken but not because of my fault. I'm waiting for any response regarding this matter. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 has not been edited since mid-April and it also has the same issue. Regarding accessdates and all the stuff included in citation templates, you may like it or not, but they are there for some purpose. In fact, they are required for most of the reviewers when trying to take articles to GA or FA status. That's the reason other editors and me include such stuff. Information may change rapidly for some articles and the references should be provided with an accessdate to let readers and editors know the last update.--JetstreamerTalk 14:27, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Please read this WP:Citation clutter. Four citations on the sentence about the sun being on the flight deck is overkill. Three of the IC aren't used anywhere else in the article....William 18:59, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
WP:CITECLUTTER states that A good rule of thumb is that one footnote after a sentence is almost always sufficient, two or three may be a good way of preventing linkrot for online sources or providing a range of sources that support the fact, and more than three should be avoided as clutter. All sentences in the article comply with these guidelines, except for a single one in the lede, where one single reference has been split in two (not by me, by the way), as the source has been archived in order to keep the link alive for the future. I'm already familiar with these guidelines; I actually had a discussion with one editor at Kenya Airways regarding the matter, and a third opinion was requested.--JetstreamerTalk 19:11, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I have fixed Ethiopian Airlines by removing the {{date}} templates from the article. The ones nested inside citation tags were left alone. The same fix worked on Aeroflot Flight 593. I don't know what caused this problem as the {date} template itself has not been changed since 2010. The best person to ask would be User:WOSlinker or User:Pigsonthewing.

The use of {{date}} in the mainspace makes references to appear as if they were broken
Hello WOSlinker and Pigsonthewing! I'm posting this question here to follow the discussion above, and I'm requesting help from both of you because Diannaa suggested so. Can you please explain me why the use of {{date}} messes up the article in such a way that references appear as if they were broken? For instance, this is occurring at Aerolíneas Argentinas. I'll appreciate your help. Thanks in advance. Regards.--JetstreamerTalk 20:44, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
I've fixed the problem at Aerolíneas Argentinas. The use of {{date}} for spelling out a date in the text causes a restart in the numbering of the references. The removal of the template from the mainspace (except for the occurrences within citation templates) avoids the issue. I still just don't know why...--JetstreamerTalk 22:07, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Something to do with an invalid #time which causes and error when placed between two refs. See User:WOSlinker/time ref error for short example. Don't know why though. I'll raise it at WP:VPT -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

By contrast to others (that includes you), I'm here to edit Wikipedia constructively.--JetstreamerTalk 22:50, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Aerolineas Argentinas, PLUNA + in general
Dear Jetstreamer,
I see you deleted some constructive amendments I made to the Aerolineas Argentinas fleet table, as with PLUNA a couple of weeks ago. As someone who has worked in the aviation industry for eight years and knows most Latin American fleets from the back of my hand, I would just like to state that many of the "accepted" sources and references are either outdated or unreliable. Aerolineas Press Releases and news articles, for example, are never known for their accuracy. Some links (eg. references numbers 105 thru 107 on Aerolineas Argentinas page) don't even lead you to where the numbers have been fed from.
That five Boeing 737-800s remain on order with the carrier is an old rumour that the leasing company involved (AWAS) has already denied.
Further down, where it says "citation needed" for the MD-83s and MD-88s passing into the airline's historical fleet, you can look at http://linea-ala.blogspot.com among other sources to see confirmation that the type was formally retired on 31st March 2012. You don't have to dig deep to corroborate this.
And, as per a source of mine who worked nearly 50 years for sister airline Austral, there are no Aerolíneas Argentinas A340s in storage at present, just one or two in regular maintenance. He sends me almost daily reports via email of what is and what is not in service, complete with dates for when aircraft go into or are taken out of service.
I work for the leading aviation database Ascend Online having previously spent seven years collaborating for its rival, the AeroTransport Data Bank. The former employs a team of researchers to ensure fleet data is as up-to-date and accurate as possible, so that customers can see their portfolios past and present accurately reflected. This is an endless job for which ultimately, clients pay for. Inaccurate reflection of their fleets can in some cases land us in legal hot water.
As such, a lot of the more accurate information is ironically not readily viewable to the public, unless they pay for it. So my dilemma with Wikipedia is how to show this more accurate data while not being able to link to publicly-viewable sources. Maybe you have some suggestions, or you can cite me as an official source as an Aviation Analyst (which is my job title). I would be happy to share some of the knowledge I have accrued over the years so long as it can in some way be reflected as my own.
Thanks Jetstreamer. Like I said, I can't link my sources as most of their content is embargoed to non-subscribers.
Please be aware, however, that there are glaring inaccuracies in both the aforementioned fleets (among others) and I have seen on numerous occasions on Wikipedia well-researched, up-to-date information getting overwritten by less well-informed authors, including some of my stuff in the past.
I'd argue that truth can count more than verifiability, as one can easily verify that a source used is an unreliable one yet it's been used anyway. Note that the well-respected printed versions of Britannic Encyclopaedias were never splashed with numbers everywhere backing up every single fact or assertion.
Dear Jetstreamer, someone with IP only has been constantly making incorrect changes to Azul Brazilian Airlines destination table (I dream of making one like you do!) and Zona da Mata Regional Airport. The airport is located in a small municipality called Goianá but serves the much larger metropolitan area of Juiz de Fora. The latter is the main destination point but the IP insists in placing Goianá or even more incorrect Rio Novo as destination. Furthermore, the person is changing geo-locations to ones different than the ones provided by the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil. In the past I would have asked the administrator mjroots to place both articles in semi-protection but he/she is presently sick. Are you able to do it or do you know an adm that would? I guess a fortnight would be enough. I thank you a lot for your help. Un gran abrazo, Bruno (Brunoptsem (talk) 01:34, 4 May 2012 (UTC))
P.S. I humbly updated PU's destination tables because the airline is not operating anymore to VCP.
Hello there Brunoptsem! Have you already tried a protection request? I'm afraid I'm not an administrator to protect any article, but you may contact User:MilborneOne for that purpose. (S)he's an administrator and is also involved with both the airport and airlines projects. Just mention him/her the troubles you're experiencing with this particular page and you'll find their comments very helpful. Warm regards.--JetstreamerTalk 14:05, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

You didn't add a reference for your last edit, and only remarked that the airline would phase out some aircraft and will take delivery of another ones in an uncertain period, as you provided no firm dates. This is plainly balling. The article is a good article, please treat it as such.--JetstreamerTalk 10:41, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
If this is a good article, why aren't there information on the arrival of newly ordered of planes. I have reference, and please help me as such to put the reference, and fill in the dates of entry-into-service of the Boeing planes.
No need for official source, as long as its a credible one
Official source? nowhere on wp:airports does it mention you need an official source. A credible one is more than enough, and amadeus.net is a credible one.
Readers shouldn't perform a search to find the source for your edits. Furthermore, ET's booking engine (the official one) does not have YYZ as a destination yet. Additionally, check WP:WAIT.--JetstreamerTalk 18:39, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Reference citations and protocols assistance
Just wanted to say thanks for cleaning up the CIA reference and footnote on Ethiopian 961. I had happened to notice the CIA press release in Yahoo News because it disclosed previously unnamed CIA officers who'd died in the line of duty, and then inserted what I errantly presumed would be a simple addition. Not so with Wiki!
Since I am way too much of a novice when it comes to certain protocol and template usages, do you have any suggestions for learning more about the protocols, etc.? Is there the equivalent of a Dummies book somewhere in the Wiki World? I know there are a lot of Help pages but some of them are a bit complicated right at the get-go...

I made changes about ET destinations in Somaliland. Sadly I couldn't find official press release from ET but there are plenty of news sites giving this press release on their sites. You can also check www.amadeus.net were you can find actual timetables of ET flights. The flights to Hargeisa are cancelled and flights to Berbera with correct times are added beginning of July. Could it be enough to make these changes? If not then please remove Hargeisa from the list as there are currently no flights from Addis Ababa. You can check it from www.amadeus.net or from any other international booking system.Vatse (talk) 07:41, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
I have added Berbera as a new destination for the carrier following ET's official announcement.

I did cite the sources. I really don't see your problem with my edit? I find your explanations as to why you keep removing my edit rather strange.

I'm just curious as to what you think I'm doing wrong? Thank You
You did not cite any source at all, you only included urls in the edit summary. Besides, you say you do not want an edit war, but you reverted my edits twice, and only posted a comment on my talk page after a three-level warning. As per, WP:V, all information included in Wikipedia should be backed by reliable sources. The sentence of the article you've been modifying has one source (from Flight International, a very renown one, by the way), and the modifications you introduced are not included on it. That's why I reverted your edits thrice, so far. If you're planning to add the reference from YouTube, let me tell you in advance that that is not a reliable source. Hope this clarifies the matter.--JetstreamerTalk 23:48, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Just a few comments:
First of all, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia
Anytime you add information, please back it up by providing at least a reliable reference in the mainspace, not in the edit summary. Please bear in mind that most of the readers don't even notice that there exists either an edit summary for any edit or a history for articles, so please ensure that your place the url of your source between <ref></ref>. Despite there exist citation templates, you don't have to worry about tidiness, as any other editor or a bot will improve your edit later.
Ethiopian Airlines' article already has two references regarding the new order for a 777-2000LR.
If you want to know anything else about citing sources, you're kindly invited to take a look at this page. Again, thanks.

You should go to the talk page of the corresponding editor (an IP editor in this case) and post the note you want there. Templates in this page may be helpful.--JetstreamerTalk 00:22, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
It's been a month since you last edited this review page, and there has been significant progress in the interim. Are you still continuing with this review, or should it be put back into the GAN pool for another reviewer? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:05, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
You should also mention that the last of my suggestions were implemented only ten days ago. I will continue with the review as soon as I have time to do so.--JetstreamerTalk 01:10, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

There is already a redirect in place. GavinPerch talk 16:55, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
I'm precisely asking for the redirect to be undone. You're not an administrator. Why did you respond to my request?--JetstreamerTalk 17:02, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
You didn't need an admin for that, the redirect had no history outside of its creation. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:39, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Ethiopian Airlines Retiring 757s and 767s
Hi Jetstreamer!
I found 2 articles saying that Ethiopian Airlines is planning on retiring their 757s and 767s soon! I would like you to read it and see if that is some good information that is worth you putting on the Ethiopian Airlines fleet page.
I'd like to make a suggestion for the Airlines & Destinations section of the Heathrow airport page as I'm not good with inserting links. Lufthansa Regional (operated by Eurowings) would not appear to be flying to LHR at all since February or March 2012. If you go to Lufthansa.com, you will see that all flights from Düsseldorf and Hamburg are operated by Lufthansa themselves, no matter what date you enter or what flight you select. Therefore, it would probably make sense to remove Lufthansa Regional from the list of current operators to LHR. Especially since, working next to LHR's northern runway, I haven't seen one of their aircraft here since the winter.
Also, it would be good to see if there is any official confirmation that Colombian carrier Avianca will start services to LHR in 4Q 2012, as has been strongly rumoured.
Hi, just a thought and would like your opinion on this.
At present most of the airline destination article table is a huge table with 'colour coded' rows. It contains information mixed up. Is it a good idea to suggest a project to split airline destination wiki articles to two separate tables.
The first table will list all the operationally active ones, and the second one lists terminated, seasonal, chartered flights etc with colour coding.
There is a downside to this is. The 'maintenance' will be a bit of overhead since it involves moving rows when an airline discountues/terminates a flight, however for the user - this will really help in my view since in most cases, reader will be looking for operationally active ones (for e.g while planning journey). --Smet (talk) 21:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Terminated destinations are currently included (or should be) in each airline destination list. Notwithstanding, I recommend you to raise the discussion at WP:AIRPORTS' talk page to get other opinions.--JetstreamerTalk 22:13, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Can any admin please take a look at this user's contributions? S(he) keeps adding to the article images that were not taken at the airport, as well as removing maintenance templates from the page. So far, I warned him/her twice. Sockpuppetry suspected as well. Thank you.--JetstreamerTalk 19:02, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
I have checked the user's editing history, and you are quite right about the problems with their editing. I have given a level 3 warning, with a little more detail about some of the problems than you gave. If the problems still continue please feel welcome to contact me on my talk page. The IP address is probably the same person, but I don't see that use of both the IP and the account has been abusive. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:40, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
BA cargo
Can their destinations be added to BA destinations lsit as all three aircraft are in full BA livery. 59.103.214.102 (talk) 12:54, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
No, they can't. Global Supply Systems includes not enough references to support that the company flies on BA's behalf.--JetstreamerTalk 12:57, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Those destinations correspond to both BA and Iberia. Which airline serves which destinations?--JetstreamerTalk 18:35, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
All are served by BA, Iberia does not operate freighter aircraft, all aircraft are in BA livery, schedule is for BA Cargo from their website. 119.154.238.45 (talk) 18:53, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
The timetable you added to Global Supply Systems specify that the cities included are served by BA World Cargo. Sorry, but I still don't see the connection between both companies. The article still lacks such connection (supported by at least a reliable reference).--JetstreamerTalk 20:35, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Exactly why they should be moved to BA destinations list as they are not GSS own destinations. 59.103.215.235 (talk) 21:23, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Mmmmm, perhaps you're right. But what to do with GSS?--JetstreamerTalk 21:25, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Let it remain as other ACMI carriers articles with no destinations mentioned, like Atlas Air, World Airways etc. 59.103.215.235 (talk) 21:35, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
I will add the cargo dest's into British Airways destinations tomorrow. You've convinced me that they should be there. Thanks. Wanna do it on your own?--JetstreamerTalk 21:57, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humor. Best wishes. Compdude123 04:46, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
