Aer Lingus ATR42 fleet

Hi, whtat's the issue with including ATR42 in historic fleet? these aircraft were operated by Aer Arran/Stobartair in same manner under contract as the Avro-85 by Cityjet in full EI branding of the respective periods. 39.39.85.188 (talk) 06:47, 05 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Successsion

Re anthem on New Zealand—You're correct, succession is instant, however in a legal sense the anthem does not change until the official proclamation. That has been well documented through national news and has become common knowledge as of late. Carolina2k22 • (talk) • (edits) 07:50, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Theses

Not sure why you decided to revert a citation to a source as strong as a PhD thesis, especially when the two other citations for the same point were very weak, but just fyi, a thesis is a gold-standard source. It's the product of years of research and undergoes examination by experts in the field, which is more than can be said for most sources cited on Wikipedia (including many books). I'm a professional historian of NZ, and I can affirm that much of the best work on NZ history is contained in theses; unlike larger countries, theses are often not turned into books. Please do not make such reversions in future. Axver (talk) 14:00, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Axver: In the Profession I trained in theses are always treated as unpublished maybe this has coloured my view. But maybe you over-estimate the value and rigor of many of the theses produced. And unpublished does make them rather problematic on Wikipedia. Much of the things on Wikipedia can be rather counter intuative. Let me ask you this is I was writing a PHD thesis and I included the justification for a detail such as this to someone else's thesis what do you think the university would say. I don't believe that they would consider this to be OK and thus I question such references in Wikipedia also, it certainly isn't as you make out strong.
My disquiet about this is that Poneke is so obviously a transliteration of Port Nicholson transliterations were very very common at the time, trying to makout that there is some mystical other indigenous word that the word eminates from is really and truely in bizarre land, just think about it for a while and let it sink in. Just do that and see who such bizarre thought is hurting. Maungapohatu (talk) 05:33, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive Editing

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Yeti_Airlines_Flight_691, you may be blocked from editing. 46.183.103.8 (talk) 19:59, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Yeti_Airlines_Flight_691. 46.183.103.8 (talk) 20:06, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
46.183.103.8 Please read WP:BLP we all have an obligation to ensure BLP issues do not get into the encyclopaedia and there is some doubt about the validity of the video. Also you are continually reverting a valid reference from a well respected and knowldgable aviation journalist. Maungapohatu (talk) 20:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. 46.183.103.8 (talk) 20:21, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hainan airlines

Hainan Airlines doesn't operate directly to Dublin. It operates to Edinburgh and then fly's to Dublin. When Hainan airlines operated last time it operated via Edinburgh. Trainsspotter4life (talk) 23:38, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Trainsspotter4life: Then please supply a reference for this, one that actually specifically says this - working this out from an online search engine is probably not acceptable. Can you buy a ticket from Dublin to Edinburgh?. As stated before you should also consider why this is even important. This is an encyclopaedia it is not a directory. There is no requirement that these lists are comprehensive nor even accurate to the degree you are adding. Maungapohatu (talk) 12:08, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More disruptive editing

I see you have already been warned about disruptive editing. If you are "not sure" about something in an article, go to its talk page and ASK. Luckily for you, I only edit as an IP. If I was a member, I would take you straight to the admin reports page for a breach of the site's editing policy. I suggest you read the section labelled WP:PRESERVE.

If you happen to have been a student at Oxbridge and you know something about the two cricket clubs, then please reply here and say what you know. In particular, do you have a reliable source which says the combined team was called the OCU? I'll certainly be surprised if you can verify that piece of misinformation. 92.31.5.221 (talk) 16:02, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@92.31.5.221: Please be careful about throwing such accusations as above, please always assume good faith in others edits, you will not survive very long around here with the level of uncivilness you display here. A word of advice, it is always better to make small incremental edits when editing articles. Big changes tend to send alarm bells to many editors and good changes get lost with the bad. Also please see WP:BURDEN it is up to you to justify each of your edits not for me, although of course I could have discussed this but the swathe of your changes, most of which looked unnecessary, meant I reverted your edits which I am fully entitled and honestly expected to do. Maungapohatu (talk) 18:43, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Are you for real? The last time I read or heard such pretentious shit, it came out of Johnson's mouth. As for your "advice", you don't know what you are talking about and I suggest you read WP:CIR. Small, incremental changes!! Thank you for giving me a good laugh. Unbelievable. 92.31.5.221 (talk) 21:11, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
