== Stop edit warring - Rail usage statistics by country == |
|||
Hi MP, |
|||
Would you mind not to continue [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rail_usage_statistics_by_country&curid=325622&diff=609244270&oldid=608626965 an edit warring] [[WP:EW]], which '''you actually initiated''', since your deletion of a whole part of a text consisting of '''several lists''' cannot be in the interest of [[WP:IMPROVE]]. |
|||
Secondly, '''instead of deleting an ''assumed'' outdated list, you instead could improve it!''' ;-) What about this? ''If not, then let it stay how it is, but do not delete otherwise still useful information''. |
|||
Your small edits about South Korea is ok, '''but your huge deletion is not'''. And I was not in the mood to do the work for you .. and will eventually not be in the mood anymore for the future, neither, given your behavior. |

List numbering
Thank you for adding Busan International Finance Center to the List of tallest buildings in the world. Please note that you also need to renumber the list below #108 to account for adding one to the list. Astronaut (talk) 11:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Median HH income page
Hi I need some help with the median household income page. You are right, the Gallup data does not have a direct source, and in addition can only be accessed by subscription. Also, I found some of the figures to be totally wrong. Anyway, the OECD data can be accessed and I will be happy to show you so we can better link the page. However, this one poster keeps putting the Gallup data on despite this. How do I stop him? ~~lneal001 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lneal001 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- Best way would be to show him WP:Verifiability and WP:OR. Also respect WP:3RR. Inventing numbers is clearly original research. Massyparcer (talk) 01:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Avg wage
If you are going to use the ILO, you should use the more transparent and sourced statistics which I have found here:
Lneal001 (talk) 23:23, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- We do not seem to agree on the use of ILO stats. Like I said it does not exist on ILO website any longer. I even CALLED them and an expert told me that the sources were simply not reliable. I do not see how you can keep justifying it. We already have 2 other lists, and by the way the MATCH ALMOST EXACTLY. As I told you before, some of the ILO stats for some countries are wrong, at least when compared to a figure representing all workers and such. If some countries are left out, then that's just the nature of these statistics. If you insist on ILO, then use it for countries not mentioned in the other two lists. But like I said, the entire list is full of errors as verified by using their own meth., and by the other two lists. They even said so!Lneal001 (talk) 02:43, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Claiming to have "phoned up" and doing your own math to claim they're wrong is a textbook example of violating WP:OR. You don't seem to understand the root of the problem that was raised not just by myself but also other experienced editors. You just can't remove a sourced list from a reliable organization like ILO, regardless of flaws. Massyparcer (talk)
- Well you do not have to believe my phone call. Why else would it be non existent on ILO today. It was not sourced from ILO to begin with. At the present time it not only is flawed, but simply non-existent. Please find for me these numbers today on ILO. Also, you keep saying I am doing my own math calculations---I provided a source for the numerator and denominator to prove that the US figure was wrong, all from the org which has the official aggregate for wages and earners. It's just further corroboration. At this point we have many sources of evidence which corroborate that the ILO data from BBC was wrong: it does not exist on ILO website, the numbers using their own meth. do not match, the numbers do not compare with the UNECE/OECD figures, and in addition the BBC article is a few years old and these same numbers have not since been reported by anyone. Doesn't that mean anything to you? That is a lot of evidence. Lneal001 (talk) 15:36, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Again, your conspiracy theory against the BBC seriously needs to stop. We're not the one to judge whether they are flawed or not. Please let the readers make their own judgement about that. You must understand Wikipedia policies which is that sourced content from a reliable reference is perfectly acceptable. Of course the numbers from the BBC will not match up with either OECD or UN. Neither do UN or OECD because all of their methodologies differ. Massyparcer (talk) 06:02, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- But what is the ILO methodology? They get the "avg wage" and multiply by number of earners, is what I read? Well, what one country gives may not be an apples to apples comparison compared to what another gives. For instance, the US figure is much lower because they used an avg wage figure excluding all supervisory workers, govt workers, overtime, and including part time workers. Otherwise, it would have been higher like the OECD and UN, where they include all workers, extra cash payments like overtime, and convrt to full time. The UN and OECD match exactly---there's just a one year gap.Lneal001 (talk) 16:28, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

New average wage sections
There is someone trying to make duplicate average wage lists, such as the one below. Should they be deleted? Lneal001 (talk) 16:29, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_in_America_by_monthly_average_wage
- Seems unnecessary. We should start a discussion on merging them. Massyparcer (talk) 04:58, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Seoul, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages SBS, MBC and Driverless (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Stop edit warring - Rail usage statistics by country
Hi MP,
Would you mind not to continue an edit warring WP:EW, which you actually initiated, since your deletion of a whole part of a text consisting of several lists cannot be in the interest of WP:IMPROVE. Secondly, instead of deleting an assumed outdated list, you instead could improve it! ;-) What about this? If not, then let it stay how it is, but do not delete otherwise still useful information. Your small edits about South Korea is ok, but your huge deletion is not. And I was not in the mood to do the work for you .. and will eventually not be in the mood anymore for the future, neither, given your behavior.
