• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please explain what you were doing reverting apparently constructive information additions to airport articles. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 07:41, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Blocking without warning in this way violates the blocking policy. And you obviously didn't look at the edits I made, because they were all explained. The person mass reverting what were undoubtedly good contributions was User:Cptmrmcmillan, who clearly does not speak competent English, and has little idea of encyclopaedic standards.

Here, in excruciating detail, is more explanation of the series of edits I made and already explained, at just one of the articles, El Tehuelche Airport:

1. none of that is encyclopaedic. not even written in proper sentences. non-competent speakers of English at work, no doubt. With this edit I removed trivial details which were badly written

   "Local flying club" is not a grammatically correct sentence

   "Hours of operation of 8.00 to 21.00" is not a grammatically correct sentence, and what encyclopaedic interest would there be in opening hours anyway?

   "Emergency facilities at the airport are limited.": so what? They are "limited" in some sense at all airports.

   "The Puerto Madryn VOR-DME (Ident: DRY) is located on the field." unencyclopaedic trivia, written without heed to encyclopaedic standards: "VOR-DME" is incomprehensible jargon; "Ident" is not a word; "DRY", even if it were a significant detail rather than irrelevant trivia, should not be in bold face

2. redundant

   "The coordinates of the terminal are 42°45′18″S 65°06′02″W." - geographical coordinates are not interesting encyclopaedic text, they are useful metadata. They go at the top right of the article, or in an infobox, or both. And indeed, they are there in both locations.

3. [1]

   "Currently operating at the airport: Andes Líneas Aéreas (MD 81 – 82) and LADE (Fokker 27–28)" is not a grammatically correct sentence; the names of the airlines should not be in bold face; the bits in brackets are jargon of no interest to a general readership.

4. non-competent speaker of English couldn't even be bothered to write in the language of this encyclopaedia, let alone use the correct decimal separator or cite anything

   "The total area of land is 1063 ha, of which 560 belong to the concesión. Its category is ICAO 4E." - no unit definition or conversion. Its category of what? And so what? And, obviously, part of the sentence is not even written in the English language.

   "Runs: 112.500 m²" - wrong word used, incorrect decimal separator, uncited, trivial detail anyway.

   "Taxiways: 4600 m²" - uncited, trivial detail

   "Platforms: 4050 m²" - uncited, trivial detail

   "Total Built Area: 1070 m²" - uncited, wrongly capitalised, trivial detail

   "Terminal passengers: 900 m² (on a single level)" - evidently, a Spanish speaker with no competence in English wrote this. In the English language, adjectives precede nouns, and they are not pluralised. Also uncited, trivial detail

   "Hangars: 300 m²" - uncited, trivial detail

And along came User:Cptmrmcmillan, who restored all of those language errors, formatting blunders, unencyclopaedic detail, redundant text and jargon, with the bald summary "restoring information and links". That is not a productive edit. Misguided edits made in good faith are not vandalism; misguided edits repeatedly made over the objections of others may cross that line. The errors in this and the other airport articles that I edited are so egregious that this line has certainly been crossed. You simply cannot put Spanish text into an English language article and not be a vandal.

So, kindly explain what it was about my edits that you objected to, and why you didn't read them before blocking me. 51.7.229.224 (talk) 08:54, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
