airports

Please actually look at and edit a wider variety of articles. LibStar (talk) 01:42, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Dear LibStar, could you please tell me how this information can be inserted to the OTP airport page? It is important because ride sharing is a new service in Romania and the regular taxi service has big issues - therefore passengers should be informed about this alternative. I am insisting on this topic because I am a regular user of OTP and I know the pros and cons of this airport. Please advise as I can see that you have a great experience as an editor.

Read WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:NOTTRAVEL. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a travel guide on how to use an airport. Please look at other airport articles. LibStar (talk) 14:23, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, LibStar, for explaining. However, there are many airport pages that contain this information. Just to provide one example, please see Indianapolis International Airport. In my opinion, it is only fair to include information about ride sharing as long as other ground transportation services are provided, such as train, bus and taxi. I kindly ask you to take into account input by local editors - I am a local of Bucharest and I strongly consider that it is very important to have equal representation for all means of transportation for this airport.

thank you for pointing out the other airport. I disagree that all means of transport is required. We don't put car rental nor often walking or cycling. LibStar (talk) 14:46, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

LibStar, I value your opinion, but I have to emphasize that you are using general guidelines in a specific case, removing valuable information from local sources and discouraging edits by new, less experienced editors. Instead, I would like to ask you to find any acceptable solution to have the information on the page. Gunnlaugson (talk) 08:09, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia has guidelines for this exact reason. I have to emphasize this. Wikipedia does not include everything. See WP:NOT. LibStar (talk) 09:15, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

LibStar, I agree that we should follow the guidelines and I'm not opposing this. In my opinion, your removal of my edit is not applying the guidelines, but a personal interpretation of the guidelines - however, I am only asking for you to take different opinions into account and suggest a better solution other that just removing the information.

guidelines are to be interpreted. I have made 10s of 1000s of edits and edited over 50 airport articles. Come back to me when you have edited a wider range of articles. I strongly recommend you do. LibStar (talk) 13:17, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

In my opinion your attitude towards new editors is demotivating and makes it less likely for newbies to continue contributing. Being an experienced editor does not give you the right to interpret guidelines as you please. Gunnlaugson (talk) 17:26, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

I am trying to motivate you to edit a wider range of articles. Then you can learn more about how wikipedia and its guidelines rather than solely focussing on one airport article. If you have a dispute about a guideline bring up your concerns on the talk page of that guideline. Again as a new editor I want to motivate you to contribute as much as possible to a wide range of articles. LibStar (talk) 18:22, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
