I see you reverted one edit about Saudia 163 bing in Mayday in future, so the thing is Saudia 163 is confirmed on mayday, so please dont revert it ok? thanks Lucasoliveira653 (talk) 20:42, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know it's been confirmed but you have not provided a source. I have reinstated the fact that it will be covered but for now, I've just added "citation needed". Aviationwikiflight (talk) 05:31, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

On English WP, a proposed deletion tag may not be re-added (except to the biography of a living person) once it has been objected to (as this one was).

Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Proposed deletion before using the mechanism.

Also, PROD may not be used for any remotely controversial deletions.

The correct venue for most deletions is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Just FYI, in my time I have nominated dozens of articles and other pages for deletion, and not once have I ever used PROD to do it.

Lastly, please carefully read Wikipedia:Deletion policy, which explains some important things one should be aware of before nominating articles.

Well, now you know.

Request reason:

I believe I was wrongly blocked for no reason. The only reason that I could think of that could lead to this block was either the copyright violation on Skol Airlines Flight 9375 or me violating the PROD guidelines/policy and mistakingly reverting a user's objection in the Delta Air Lines diarrhea incident. :After both incidents, different users messaged me explaining the copyright policies and the PROD guidelines and advised me to carefully read the mentioned guidelines in my talk page. :Another thing is that this is my main account and I don't use any other accounts. Prior to this, all of my edits were me improving articles and adding more information in good faith. :And lastly, I have no relation whatsoever with user MattChatt20. I have never heard of him prior to this block. :I believe that the prior incidents could've somehow tied my account to have been one of MattChatt20's alt account. :If I am unblocked, I will do my best to not make the same/similar mistakes and will do my best to contribute to Wikipedia. :Thank you. -AviationWikiFlight Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:45, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Since DFO is having palpitations, I'll step up and unblock. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:02, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're using proxies and web hosts. If you turn off your VPN, you stand a better chance of being unblocked. Trying to hide your IP address just makes you look more guilty. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:37, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I live in a country where I have to use a VPN to use the internet. There are some vpn connections that are IP banned so I have to use a certain connection to edit on wikipedia. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:17, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we could consider a temporary IP block exemption while the user puts through an email request for a permanent one per the instructions at

WP:deadline - we can wait for the request to come through. I will put the unblock request on hold. The results of IPECPROXY should take care of the rest, eh? - UtherSRG (talk) 14:39, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

Just what I've already posted. This user is a likely sock puppet using proxies. If they want to be unblocked, they'd have to stop using proxies and show us their real IP address. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to resolve it via WP:IPECPROXY but i haven't gotten a response. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The problem that I have as stated above is that using a VPN is the only way to use the internet. Some VPN connections work better than others so sometimes I do change the connections. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:19, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have an OTRS account. I have no idea what the above (on-wiki) discussion is even about. If this ticket is about asking for

@Callanecc: Sorry. Don't have (or want) OTRS/VRT. Perhaps you could unblock if you think it's warranted. On the other hand, we might need to just evaluate the non-sensitive information. (sigh) -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:31, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NinjaRobotPirate: Do you have a master that you are connecting this account to? The CU data shows proxy use, but no strong overlap with another account. CU data makes the reason for using a VPN plausible. I am very tempted to unblock here. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 19:37, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sock master is listed in the block log, on the user page, in the {{uw-block}} template, and in the unblock request itself. I don't really know why you're so convinced this is not a sock puppet if you're not even aware who the suspected master is. But I'm getting a bit tired of being constantly pinged about this block, so do whatever you want. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you mind, just to clarify what I did wrong, what evidence do you have that ties my account to user Mattchatt20?

I am new to wikipedia so prior to me getting messaged about my PROD violation and copyright violation, I thought that what I was doing was right. I had read various guidelines but my knowledge on how to use and/or interpret them was limited. Obviously, know, I do understand that the violations that I commited were dumb.

But what I don't understand is that for the past few months, I have made numerous edits, some helpful, some controversial. For me, in my opinion, it would seem dumb and a waste of time to create an account, make edits to improve articles, some reverted for which I understand the reasons, just to throw it away because of these violations (if these were the reason for my block).

And just to add one more time, even though this makes me look guilty to you, I live in a country where using a VPN is needed, normal internet connection doesn't let me access google.

I just hope that I could go back to editing articles and improving them because seeing some articles that look in a "bad state" is just honestly annoying and sad.

Hope you have a nice day.

Thank you for accepting the unblock request :) .

Finally, I just have two questions;

Do I need to get an IP block exemption to continue editing on wikipedia?

And lastly, does the box stating that I've been indefinitely banned need to be removed or not? Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:43, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about the IP block exemption. You are now free to cleanup your talk page as you see fit. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:41, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks for the clarifications. Have a nice rest of your day. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 13:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out the lack of sourcing for that death toll. It's odd that the best information comes from Hawaii. I've found some evidence of deaths in Chile, but very few. Mikenorton (talk) 15:18, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you moving Icelandic air crashes articles away from their

Per

WP:AVTITLE

, the format of: <year> Flugfélag Íslands DC-3 crash is way more recognizable than having Héðinsfjörður or Glitfaxi in the title.

To english speakers, I don't think Héðinsfjörður or Glitfaxi are commonly recognizable names. Using the format that I've put per

WP:AVTITLE

, we know the year, what airline was involved, we know the accident aircraft + what happened. The title of the two moved pages can easily be typed, they are more precise, it is consistent with other plane accident articles and there is just the right amount of sufficient information in the title for someone to understand what the article is about.

Per Collins Dictionary, the definiton of air crash is a a crash involving one or more aircraft so the use of the term "air crash" in the title is therefore incorrect. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:47, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are right on the point with the term "air crash", that is a translation error on my part. The term "Plane crash" would be the correct one.

That said, both of these accidents get their notability from significant Icelandic sources where they are best known as Flugslysið í Héðinsfirði, which in english translates to The Héðinsfjörður plane crash, and Glitfaxaslysið which is probably best translated as The Glitfaxi accident. While I don't mind making minor descriptive changes, such as adding the year, what should not be changed is removing the location from title the Héðinsfjöður crash and the plane name from the Glitfaxi crash, as that is what they are known by.

Even

WP:COMMONNAME, does state that if the event has acquired a popular name, that name should be used. Alvaldi (talk) 12:40, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

]

Wouldn't it be better then, to keep both titles like for example on the page of The Smolensk Air Disaster? For example we can either name the article with my format or your format, you choose, then on top of the infobox, we can insert both titles so:

The Héðinsfjörður plane crash

1947 Flugfélag Íslands DC-3 crash

Glitfaxaslysið

1951 Flugfélag Íslands DC-3 crash

Is this format acceptable? Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:02, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any objections having the "19## Flugfélag Íslands DC-3 crash" as a secondary title for those particular articles as long as the main title refers to what they are commonly known by. Generally, notable crashes in Iceland become known by the location where they happened but occasionally the name of the plane involved (though that seems to have been more common in the early years of flight in Iceland when there were fewer planes in the country). I did ask the creator of the Héðinsfjörður crash their opinion on this matter and they've started a discussion about it on

Talk:1947 Flugfélag Íslands DC-3 crash so maybe it is better if we continue the discussion there. Alvaldi (talk) 16:42, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Hi Aviationwikiflight! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. McSly (talk) 12:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your comment "The phrase does not state that UIA752 was an accident". The sentence says that that 1907 is the third deadliest accident, which means that the two deadlier crashes were also accidents. C5mjohn (talk) 03:26, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
