June 2016

Hello, I'm Omni Flames. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Omni Flames (talk) 08:48, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Being bold and rules

Hi Garretka

Perpaps you need to read WP:BOLD, and can you tell me by what rule I need consensus to edit an unreferenced entry. In fact completely the opposite is true unreferenced entries should expect to be edited and or deleted. There needs to be a reference to an airport called Orlando - MCO or it can and should be changed. WP common name, or what a normal person would call something not an airport nerd, is a core concept in WP.

Thanks Andrewgprout (talk) 04:52, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trust me, I don't like MCO anymore than you do. The issue I have not only lies with the fact the WP:BOLD states do not be upset if your edits are reverted, but the lack of consistency you have now created among hundreds pages. Edit all or none. Two users including myself have reverted your edits, and I have done it for a final time. Kindly reignite the conversation at WP:AIRPORTS and I will gladly support you in removing MCO, as didambiguation in this situation needs to be discussed in much further detail, however on issues such as these, as per WP:AIRPORTS, consensus must be reached - not a matter of being bold.

Orlando

Hello HkCaGu,

I have restarted the discussion about the long-going "Orlando airports" issue at WT:Airports. Your thoughts and opinions on the matter would be greatly appreciated! The discussion is here. Regards—172.58.40.42 (talk) 03:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
