Destinations list removed[edit]

Someone removed the Airlines and Destinations list from the page and it needs to be re-added. But I don't know every destination and talk to the person who did this please.72.89.35.142 (talk) 23:53, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The list was remove because it was really outdated and there is no evidence some destination were really served by Airlines specified in the table, a new map was added to shows the latest destination available without specifying the airline.Kingroyos (talk) 03:29, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Destination map and Image of airport[edit]

I added an Image of airport in the infobox and took hours to made a destination map showing the destination served by the airport. Later i removed the destinations table. User:Abhishek191288 removed the map by mentioning The destination map is not per WP:AIRPORT, he also removed the image and all the contributions which i made to the article. (see [1] [2]). I restored [3] the older version along with the map as they do not deter the guidelines in any way. Then Abhishek reverted it and started a discussion on my talk page by saying 'you lack knowledge on policies formed at WP:AIRPORT'. I give him the reasons why i restored it;
the guidelines does not state that:

  • 1. the native name and the image of the airport is not allowed,
  • 2. destination table is compulsory nor is a destination map prohibited, other articles also contain destination map (EX:Dublin_Airport#Destinations Map),
  • 3. the external links which i added is the official carrier website and the other one the Civil Aviation Department from the Government website.

The destinations table shows a list of airlines with the destination that they served. However there is no source to check whether it is accurate, various users keep modifying it, it contradict with the map which is up to date, also it wasn't good to provide readers a table base on assumptions and out of date. The only official reliable reference available [4] does not specify which airlines specifically served a particular destination but instead provide them on a separate list. So i removed the table and instead added a list of airlines without specifying the destinations, info about destinations was available on the map.

Despite i notified Abhishek about the discussion on his talk page, i waited for nearly one month, he never replied, i decided to restored [5] the content and remove the destination table again. However it was revert by User:BeIsKr, we reach consensus that the table should be retain and there was nothing wrong with the other content which he removed while reverting the edit. I restored it again and retained the destination table as per the discussion [6]. Now User:93.213.177.232, User:93.213.177.224 who seems to be the same user (WP:SOCK) and User:Abhishek191288 is removing the map and the image again. When i reverted it, Abhishek is accusing me of edit war, he want blocked me, saying that i don't own the article. Dear Abhishek, for god sake stop being rude with other editors on wikipedia, because you don't own airports articles too, i hope you will not ignore this discussion again and continue to remove whatever seems bad to you. We should rather reach a consensus as to whether the map and the image should stay and if not give the reason for it and not just say not per WP:AIRPORT for all your edits, despite the guidelines doesn't say so.Kingroyos (talk) 09:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Abhishek191288 and the other user was notified about this discussion on their talk page but they ignore it, so i'm restoring the Image and the Map.Kingroyos (talk) 11:37, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your edits have been removed by three users and you restoring it time and again proves that your edits are in bad faith and not mine. And the "edit warring" thing is not an accusation because you are doing nothing but edit warring. You seem to have a problem if something of yours is removed. As said, you do not WP:OWN the article. And before the stupid accusation of sockpuppetry, go and have a look where that IP is from and see where I am from. Go file an SPI if you want. It will be closed as a report created in bad faith. — Abhishek  Talk 12:31, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I said User:93.213.177.232, User:93.213.177.224 seems to be the same user and indeed both of them have same location (see [7] and [8]), i never accused you of sockpuppetry, maybe you misunderstand. Anyway since you removed the content again and again (WP:EDITWAR), i would like to get the opinions of other editors.Kingroyos (talk) 16:36, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RFC: Destination map and airport images[edit]

Is the Destination Map and the Image of the Airport (Image 1, Image 2) not per Wikipedia:AIRPORT-CONTENT and should be removed?Kingroyos (talk) 16:59, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No
1.WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT is not a policy. In fact it says: "This page contains advice about style. As such it contains the recommendations and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how to present articles within their area of interest. This advice is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline and is not part of the Manual of Style. WikiProjects are encouraged to write advice pages addressing issues within their areas of interest and expertise. Please update the page as needed or discuss it on the talk page."
2. I can't find anywhere in WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT that says no destination map and the image of the airport. Correct me if I am wrong.―Rosscoolguy 20:36, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since the images are not available anymore, i think at least the map can be restored.Kingroyos (talk) 08:45, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note the the two images are unlikely to be the work of the uploader and have been nominated for deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 23:14, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support removal According to policy or not, but the destinations map is excessively big and totally superfluous. The list is destinations is already difficult to maintain and keep up-to-date, the map will be even worse to maintain. The Banner talk 13:42, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I support removal too.Fox1942 (talk) 15:18, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that same larger maps are also available in other articles for example Dublin_Airport#Destinations Map, and should also be removed if it is the case here.Kingroyos (talk) 16:48, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: See WP:OTHERSTUFF and WP:LIKE. — Abhishek  Talk 18:19, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: I did not mention this to argue that the map should be retained, but to make sure that same treatment is given for any articles.Kingroyos (talk) 18:11, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Other stuff exists" is talk page shorthand for not making sure every article is treated the same. However, I agree with you that consistency across articles is also important. Jojalozzo 03:19, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I was invited here randomly by RFCBot. Since the images are gone it seems the question now only concerns the map which I do not think is present in the current version. I would appreciate it if someone would post a link to a version with the map. I looked through the history and found one version where a huge map displays the destinations overlaid with the text. I assume this request is not addressing whether we should keep that version, true? Jojalozzo 03:35, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No its this one [9].Kingroyos (talk) 13:25, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • No I see no guidance for destination maps on the project pages though there is a rather positive discussion of them here from about a year ago. The map is inappropriately large (1500px). I think it works better at about 800px. Jojalozzo 02:06, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
i agree with you, however i made it larger because the map mess up when it is small with more destinations.Kingroyos (talk) 08:11, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why should you put all destinations into one map? You can cut it up in three or four smaller maps and still offer the same information. With three maps: roughly a map for Europa, a map for Cape Town-Mauritius-Dubai and a map for Bombay-Shanghai-Perth. With four maps: Roughly a map for Europa, a map for Africa/Indian Ocean, a map for Dubai-Shanghai and a map for Kuala Lumpur-Perth. (The proposal is just a line of thinking) The Banner talk 12:43, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good lord no, the extended content containing the large map is not necessary in any form. I would even vote to remove the section Airlines and destinations altogether. That's like an article about Volvo having a list of where you can buy one. There is a link in the References that provides a starting point for anyone wishing to visit.Geremy.Hebert (talk) 23:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is customary to include to include an Airlines and destinations table in articles about civil airports, and the average reader who has visited a few such articles would expect to find them listed here. The map, I'm afraid, just doesn't work—it's way too large. As others have said, it also makes it even more difficult to keep the article up to date (the destination lists cause enough trouble, without having to update a map as well).
