Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Avman89! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

NYCPT

Welcome to Wikipedia! (I normally do not do a formal welcome, so please bear with me. I'm also fatigued from all the editing today.) If you are interested both in contributing to Wikipedia and in the New York mass transit systems, please consider joining our WikiProject New York City Public Transportation where we organize the Wikipedia articles concerning everything about public transportation in and around New York City. If you have any questions, please write a message on my talk page and I'll help you the best way I can. Thanks! Tinlinkin (talk) 07:22, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! (I do not like formal welcomes either). I am definitely keen on joining WP:NYCPT. If there are specific articles or sections that need work, let me know and I will try to contribute.Avman89 (talk) 07:51, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. The biggest issue in our realm of Wikipedia is the lack of adequate reliable sourcing in articles. The articles are generally correct, but must ultimately be supported with references so that the encyclopedia can be trustworthy. My personal goal, which is too lofty at the moment, is to have more good articles and even featured articles. Featured lists is definitely possible, and there are a lot of NYC-related lists. If you write a message on the WikiProject's talk page, you should be able to get answers quickly if the respondents are knowledgeable. Also check out WikiProject Trains which is a parent of this project. So have a good time and try not to have the wikiculture stress you out. Tinlinkin (talk) 08:14, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of 2010 South Asian Football Federation Women Gold Cup

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on 2010 South Asian Football Federation Women Gold Cup requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mo ainm~Talk 13:32, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of 2010 South Asian Football Federation Women Gold Cup

The article 2010 South Asian Football Federation Women Gold Cup has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No content beyond the infobox, no sources attached.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Avman Bhaia, if there's a confusion about copyright infringement, the logo shouldn't be used unless all confusions are cleared.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:56, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Archaeorhizomyces

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Archaeorhizomyces requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Finemann (talk) 19:19, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have declined the speedy deletion, done a minimal job of tidying and stubbing it, and "moved" it to Archaeorhizomyces which is the name given in the reference. This shouldn't have been nominated for speedy, but your articles will stand a better chance if you expand them a little more before posting them - have a look at WP:Writing better articles for hints. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I've expanded it a little after I got hold of the original article; strange to think there's so much left to describe. Perhaps you'd be interested in joining the fungi WikiProject? It's not a bad community- we've got a number of editors of varying levels of expertise and activity, many of whom (myself included) are always available to help out. J Milburn (talk) 23:24, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - @JohnCD: Thanks for reversing the deletion nomination. I decided to create the page once I heard of the discovery, but I was at work and didn't have the time to put much thought into it. I had meant to improve on it once I got home. I know the article seemed to not provide much information, but it shouldn't have been nominated for deletion in the first place, since the original research was only published a few days ago and presumably, not a lot is known yet.
    - No worries. I have explained to the speedy tagger why this shouldn't have been tagged. It is unfortunately easy for the New Page Patrollers, without whose efforts Wikipedia would not survive, to be so overwhelmed by the continual tidal wave of rubbish that they get into a frame of mind that thinks "How can we get rid of this?" rather than "Could this be improved?" JohnCD (talk) 09:17, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - @J Milburn: Thanks for expanding the article. I do have access to the Science article through my university's library, and was about to read it and improve the article. Also, thanks for the invite to the fungi WikiProject; I will contribute as much as I can, but I am only an undergraduate student with limited knowledge of microbiology, so I need all the help I can get.Avman89 (talk) 00:48, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'm an undergrad, and I'm not even a scientist- it's hardly a closed project! If we can squeeze a couple more paragraphs into the article in the next couple of days, we can get it on the DYK section of the main page, which would be nice. I'll give it a look over later tonight, see if I can find much else from the article to include. J Milburn (talk) 19:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Archaeorhizomyces

On 21 August 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Archaeorhizomyces, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Archaeorhizomyces is a class of fungi that was not described until 2011? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Archaeorhizomyces.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi, I added a source. It's 65 according to Air Wisconsin's website. I don't know how it breaks down between American and United, and if they will retain all of them when flying for United only.

Thank you very much for helping to clean up Spirit Airlines page, I'm glad you could clarify the information I was attempting to contribute. I'm still newer to Wikipedia Contributing and appreciate your help. The page hadn't seen a major overhaul in quite some time and I am happy we could make it more relevant again. I did go in and add a few more constructive things as well as update financials for the company.

Thanks for your edits! You are right that the page needed updating. The new edits look great, especially the service expansion section. Feel free to revert or change my edits if that makes the article flow better. I've been on Wikipedia for over a decade but only started taking an interest in aviation recently, so I'm fairly new to it as well. Do keep contributing; we're all in this together!

Disambiguation link notification for May 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Contour Airlines, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Start date and age

Why are you so concerned with this template that you are reverting my wider edits to re-add it? The age of a rail line is not relevant to the average reader; the date is. {{start date and age}} is intended for situations where the age of something is relevant - for example, how long a crisis has been going on - not the age of a fixed thing. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:34, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The template is used on almost every transit line's article. Just check any article for a subway line in NYC, light rail in Los Angeles, etc, and the start date/age template is there. There is nothing on the template's page that suggests it is only to be used for a crisis event. Your personal opinion on what is and isn't relevant to readers is immaterial. If it is widely used across Wikipedia, you have no reason to over-enthusiastically patrol a few Muni Metro pages to standards you've defined for yourself. Mirza Ahmed (talk) 05:52, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Use is widely inconsistent across rail line articles - that the NYC articles (which have a variety of different conventions than other rail articles) use it means nothing. And you have failed to give any reason why it actually adds value here, so your standards are equally arbitrary. Also: please use edit summaries, especially when you are making controversial edits. Empty edit summaries come across like you are trying to hide something when you are involved in a dispute. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:34, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The casual reader often is interested in how long a service has been in operation. Having to do the math every time to figure out the age (2018 - minus start year, then comparing months, is a lot of work). Yes, it has not been consistently used, but I suspect you prevented its usage on MBTA articles, for example. I always use edit summaries, but when I am making an edit I already made earlier only to have it summarily reverted, I can't be bothered. Mirza Ahmed (talk) 07:30, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Biman Bangladesh Airlines

The claim you added as an edit summary in your last edit [1] is wrong: most of the list is supported by a single source at the top of it, though I've marked it as unreliable.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 14:01, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which claim? I added a ch-aviation link for the 737 lease information, which I assume is a "reliable source". The early termination of the 777-200ER leases are also properly sourced, from both ch-aviation and bdnews.com, the latter is widely respected in Bangladesh. The source for the total number of aircraft is, admittedly, Planespotters, which I'm not a fan of, but there aren't any other sources available. Biman's website is out of date and doesn't give totals in any case. Mirza Ahmed (talk) 14:11, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

″most aircraft listed here have no source given″ is a claim.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 14:16, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That reference has been on the article for years without anyone questioning it. I find it curious you are now pointing to it to refute my claim that there isn't a source, while simultaneously marking it as unreliable. Regardless of the source, the list seems reasonable to me; I grew up in Bangladesh and had family members who worked in aviation (though not for Biman), so I knew which aircraft they operated. Also, I don't need a source for adding the 777-200ER to the list; the source was already in the article where I added the information about the early termination of the lease. Mirza Ahmed (talk) 14:23, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I know that but it's always better to follow WP:V and WP:IC, mostly considering the article is a GA one.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 14:31, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2019

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring as you did at Market urbanism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:37, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Avman89 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Did not violate three-revert rule; only reverted twice. Block was made in the interest of "fairness", purely subjective on the part of admin above.

Decline reason:

You are not blocked for violating the three-revert rule, you are blocked for edit warring - see WP:EW where it says "The three-revert rule is a convenient limit for occasions when an edit war is happening fairly quickly, but it is not a definition of "edit warring", and it is perfectly possible to edit war without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so." Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:58, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and you actually reverted three times between 02:35, 18 February 2019 and 02:07, 19 February 2019, after a change you made was reverted. When your changes are reverted, you should start a discussion and seek consensus, not just revert right back and edit war over it. You should know that after having been here for nearly ten years. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:05, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Consensus was sought, but was not forthcoming from the other party, whose MO was the automatic gainsaying of anything I suggested.Mirza Ahmed (talk) 19:44, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't have a consensus for a change, you don't make the change. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:46, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So if I post on the talk page and no one else weighs in, whose edit gets preference? Currently it's just me vs the other guy. If there isn't consensus, his quotes shouldn't be allowed either. Mirza Ahmed (talk) 19:50, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see where you even attempted to seek a consensus. Generally, if an article is in a stable state and you want to make a disputed change, the onus is on *you* to seek a consensus for it. If you can't get a consensus, your desired change does not get made. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:09, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I received your email, although it does not really address the reason you have been blocked. As Boing says you reverted 3 times within 24 hours. You did not actually violate 3RR so my block summary was incorrect in that regard. If you promise not to continue the edit war I would be happy to unblock. I would do likewise for the other editor. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:44, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have already posted on the article's talk page saying I won't be editing anything else, so any further edit wars are out of the question. Regardless, I am left with a bitter taste and I remain convinced I was blocked only to be made an example of, without actual reason as per Wikipedia policy. Mirza Ahmed (talk) 23:13, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The policy is at WP:EW, and it is quite clear. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:21, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
