Hey Lj123, Great to see another Californian on Wikipedia. Curious, Do you ever attend any of the WikiFoundation Meetups? All the Best, Chefmikesf (talk) 00:38, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Lj, I saw you're a member of WP:FRANCE and I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping review my new draft for Louis XIII (cognac). I outlined the changes on the talk page. The current article was translated in part from the French article, so I'm looking for feedback from someone with some experience with French. If you've got any time to take a look at it, even in part, I'd greatly appreciate it.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 18:26, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Why are you afraid of giving individual sources at Vancouver International Airport? You are not interested in a policy as WP:V? Or is it just WP:IDONTLIKEIT? The Banner talk 16:09, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Show me where policy requires a separate source for each destination Lj123 (talk) 16:13, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Read the RFC. The Banner talk 03:28, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Still don't see it Lj123 (talk) 03:48, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

I assume this is to what you refer:

" This discussion reached a clear consensus that neither of the articles in questions violates WP:NOT. Proponents argued that both lists are indiscriminate collections of information. Opponents disputed this, saying that just because information is in list format doesn't mean it's covered by WP:NOT and that a list of destinations is an important and encyclopedic piece of information about an airport. Personally, I'm inclined towards saying they do violate WP:NOT, but it's not my job as a closer to vote, it's to represent the consensus, and the consensus was very clearly, over 2:1, that they don't."

This contains no mention of references being required to be distinct for each destination nor that they must be cited beside each destination as opposed to the current method. Lj123 (talk) 03:53, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi there,

I'm leaving this message because you contributed to the recent RfC regarding the inclusion of airport destination lists. As promised, now that that RfC has closed, I've initiated a further discussion about the sourcing standards to be applied to these lists.

If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please do so at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Airport destination lists - sourcing requirements.

I appreciate the notice. I will likely post there when I have the time to form my thoughts on the sourcing issue. Lj123 (talk) 01:15, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport! However, adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum^[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: try the Citer tool, or in the wikitext editor, try the reFill tool, and in the Visual Editor, the reference dialog can convert some bare urls into a full citation. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 18:30, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I believe I have fixed the bare links in the article Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport using the CiterTool. Did I do these right? Want to double check before I fix the other Cuba airport articles where I used this ref. Lj123 (talk) 07:24, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
