A request

Hi, the Banner. Unless you really feel you must, I ask you to please not post on Curly Turkey's page while they're blocked. Everything doesn't need to be refuted. Bishonen | tålk 17:46, 8 June 2024 (UTC).

No problem. I think I can use my time better. The Banner talk 22:10, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Arkia removal

Why did you remove Arkia information in Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport?

As per https://www.exyuaviation.com/2024/06/el-als-sun-dor-to-launch-scheduled.html the flights are present. Same flights are visible both on Flightradar24 and Belgrade Airport's website. Flights numbers are IZ387 and IZ388.

Why did you remove something which is there for a long time without any reason to do so? And you did not check if the flights still exist. Next time please make sure flights do not exist before deleting. PikiLuka (talk) 21:28, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

The addition was unsourced. And as the section has a clear notice "DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE ROUTES WITHOUT GIVING A VALID INDEPENDENT SOURCE.", I just followed that notice. The Banner talk 22:15, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

That part of the article is there for years, it's not an addition. And now you did remove it without giving a valid independent source. PikiLuka (talk) 14:26, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

It was added here. Unsourced, so I removed it. And that is was there earlier and "for years", does not make it exempt from WP:V and it needs to be sourced with reliable, independent sources. The Banner talk 15:26, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Arkia was removed with this edit by @Der HON: with a sourced and valid reason. The Banner talk 16:09, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

If you take a look into source which @Der HON provided, there is no word about Arkia cancelling flights, only about Sun d'Or. PikiLuka (talk) 20:09, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

It does not matter who, what and where. Arkia is re-introduced and as fresh addition it needs to be properly sourced. The Banner talk 20:40, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Short statement: In the last paragraph of the article, exyuaviation wrote every airline that operated XYZ - TLV. Regarding BEG, Arkia was mentioned nowhere. That is the reason why I removed it. Israir still operating, Air Serbia eying a return, but Arkia seemingly cutting BEG.

"The development leaves Zagreb without scheduled flights to Tel Aviv, although Croatia Airlines is expected to serve the city this summer, if circumstances permit, on a charter basis. On the other hand, Israir will continue to operate services between Tel Aviv and Belgrade throughout the summer season with two weekly rotations, while the carrier plans to resume its seasonal Ljubljana operation from June 4, with one weekly service throughout most of the summer. Air Serbia, which operated flights between Belgrade and Tel Aviv until late October of last year has tentatively scheduled its return to the Israeli city for October 27, at the start of the 2024/25 winter season, although changes remain likely."

The "disaster" is at your end: I (re)checked my revision seven different ways on three different OSs and they all look like the adjacent image. Useddenim (talk) 02:36, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for wasting an hour of my life. Useddenim (talk) 02:50, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

A disaster is an edit that causes tens of thousands of pages to fail to load correctly; a minor annoyance is a page that shows up on your list of "Disambiguation links added" with three entries. Enough of the hyperbole! Useddenim (talk) 09:52, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

@Useddenim: Instead of blaming me, you should have checked where you were linking to. This template is still linking to a village in Poland. It is not the first time that your conversions end up tragically after failing to check where you were linking to. And no, I did not waste an hour on this. It took me ten minutes to see that it was sloppy work that needed to be reverted. The Banner talk 09:55, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
