Talk:List of Ethiopian Airlines destinations

Adding/removing destinations

Do not add/remove destinations unless you provide a verifiable reference. To the best of my knowledge, Milan and Hangzhou are not yet officially confirmed as new destinations by ET. Please correct me if I'm wrong. --Jetstreamer (talk) 11:03, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

I would suggest removing photos as they have ruined look of table.116.71.19.141 (talk) 03:09, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

On the inclusion of images in the article

Hello everybody. I've been editing this page for some time, and recently decided to reposition the images you can see, which were removed from an anonymous user hours ago. Apart from the fact that I do not support the edition of articles from anonymous users (do you?), I'd like to hear opinions regarding the matter, in order to make it as democratic as possible. Needless to say, the majority's opinion will be respected. Please leave your question/comment/concern below. Regards.--Jetstreamer (talk) 21:13, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

If anonymous users wrerent acceptable, this site would have had a register before editing policy like discussion boards. Similar topic started in more approproiate Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines discuss there, how anyone can stand an ugly, cluttered and confused looking table layout, just to accomodate some useless photos that are not even worth a second glance is beyond comprehension, ever hear of organised, neat, clean, clear, smart looking add to that pleasing to the viewer, its not just about having a table but how it looks as well. Imagine if this was an office project or design presentation, is this how you would display your work to prospective clients or your bosses? registered editors like you are more of a menace to this site than most anonymous ones, as such I have done more to make articles pleasing to viewers by sorting, paragraphing, relocationg images, unwrapping listings, while to registered editors this aesthetics bit does not seem to matter. A registered and wiki appointed/associated editor should be more sensitive and responsive to all this, I could register and edit like thousands others, but I wouldnt still be part of wiki like you are, so it makes you more accountable for making the site appealing to viewers. 116.71.30.155 (talk) 08:33, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Terminated destinations improperly sourced

This set of edits has been reverted. I did so since, if the destination is marked as terminated, a proper source indicating that the city has been previously served should be provided. Linking to the current timetable, which simply does not show the city in question, proves nothing, and is against one of the core content policies.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 20:54, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Future service to Toky-Narita

The following three edits [1] [2] [3] have been reverted. None of the sources provided support the claim that the airline is starting services to NRT on 25 December 2014. Please discuss the matter here before re-adding.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 14:26, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I have removed the entry on the respective articles. The source used is the city guide to Tokyo which nowhere mentions that the airline is launching flights on 25 December 2014. There is also no official announcement made on this service yet. 71.12.206.168 (talk) 04:57, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Adding "List of..." to the article title

To editor Jetstreamer: Can you please explain to me in more detail why you reverted my move of this article from Ethiopian Airlines destinations to List of Ethiopian Airlines destinations? Your revert comment says "No consensus for the move. Back to previous title." There was no previous discussion in this talk page nor in any edit summary in the article history about whether there was consensus for or against a move to the standard "List of..." title form. Before I moved the article, I searched for any prior disagreement and found none. The silence on the issue was taken as implicit consensus so there was no reason to hesitate making the bold move.

Your revert of the move is a clear way of indicating that there is not a consensus on whether this article should be moved, but you have provided no reason based on policy, guidelines or common sense about why such a move should not be enacted. Your revert itself shows that the consensus is not present, but your reversion needs to have a reason on top of the objection. What reason is there for opposing the move that I made?

In support of my move is the lack of objection to the move of Category:Airline destinations to Category:Lists of airline destinations in this discussion in the Categories for Discussion log. Such a move is analogous to the move of Ethiopian Airlines destinations to List of Ethiopian Airlines destinations, so the onus is on explaining why such a move should not be made.

Kind regards, Matt Heard (talk) 08:56, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

@Matt Heard: The article had been moved before and I reverted the changes. My position was clear there. You should check the history of the article. Regarding any policy, can you please mention any that states list articles must commence with the combination "List of"? I'd be happy to undo my changes if that policy exists.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 10:21, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

To editor Jetstreamer: Thank you for promptly replying to my question. Before I moved the page, I searched through this talk page for any discussion of previous moves and found none. I then searched through the entire history of the article for the search term "mov" which would be included in the edit summary of any move of the article, but found no edit summary indicating a move or a discussion about a move. After you reverted the move, I searched again through this talk page and the edit history and still could not find any discussion or hint of a disagreement about moving the article. After you mentioned now that there was a move and a discussion, I checked a third time and still came up empty. Since you are sure that there was a previous move and a previous discussion, could you please provide me with a link to the discussion as I am clearly incapable of finding it.

There is no policy that list articles must start with "List of…" or "Index of…" but the Manual of Style says this: "The titles of list articles typically begin with the type of list it is (List of, Index of, etc.), followed by the article's subject; like: List of vegetable oils." (The italics were added by me.) My interpretation of "typically" here indicates that there is a general consensus of naming articles as "List of…" or "Index of…" but that there could be several good reasons why a specific article should not follow that convention. I happily concede that the move from Ethiopian Airlines destinations to List of Ethiopian Airlines destinations is not necessary, but I believe that it would be an improvement to the article and to Wikipedia to put this article title in line with the convention that is common with naming list articles. If you can either re-explain your reasons for opposing the move or link to a previous discussion where the consensus was established that the move should not be made, I might agree with you. But until then, I see no reason to not move this article to List of Ethiopian Airlines destinations.

Thank you again for kindly replying to my message.

Kind regards, Matt Heard (talk) 21:41, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

To editor Jetstreamer: I did further digging and found this list of list articles in the scope of WP:WikiProject Airlines. There is clearly a convention of "X destinations" list articles not including the phrase "List of…" at the beginning of the titles. I would like to withdraw my advocacy for moving this article. I believe that when you mentioned previous discussion about the move, it was likely a discussion on another list article of the destinations of a particular airline. Such a discussion would not be easy to find from this article. Thanks again for your reply. Happy editing! Kind regards, Matt Heard (talk) 22:36, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

@Matt Heard: I was about to propose you to move the discussion to WT:AIRLINE precisely because a number of airline destinations articles are named the way this is. Glad this has been settled!--Jetstreamer ^Talk 23:10, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
