Seeing how he is defending his fake Wikipedia-page and the copyvio, you have no choice than to go through the formal AfD-process, Dorsetonian. The Banner talk 13:18, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

The copyright issue has been resolved now with the edit summary for this edit. The page does not appear to be any kind of draft in preparation for return into mainspace and looks to me to be a candidate for speedy deletion per WP:U5. Were it to be nominated and rejected, WP:MFD would probably be the next option.

The copyvio was, for me, a problem. The possible webhost violation is of little concern to me. Indeed, whilst this user is happy to run around shouting in userspace, the main article space is being left relatively unscathed, which is nice. So I would be inclined to leave them to it.

I have doubt if E really understands what the baseline is of Wikipedia, like WP:V but it looks like he does not need help from us to find the exit. The Banner talk 01:21, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

YUL Airport sources

What sources are you looking for exactly, it the Airline timetable not good enough, some of these destinations have been around for 50+ years, stop being ridiculous. Alexcaban (talk) 15:11, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT is asking for independent sources for every connection. The airport and the airline itself are obviously not independent. And it is also not enough just to source the airline flying on a certain airport when the connection itself should be sourced. The Banner talk 15:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
So why is the same not being done to other airport pages ex. Toronto-Pearson, Vancouver? Alexcaban (talk) 15:35, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Work in progress. The Banner talk 15:39, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Vancouver International Airport and Toronto Pearson suffered the same destructive work as you did. Now restored. Thanks for warning me.The Banner talk 16:14, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Any content based reason for the revert?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jewish_supremacy&oldid=prev&diff=1293056075 Do you have any real rationale why the previous version is better? Since we're in business to help our readers I hope that editors do not revert unless they have a reason to believe this is the case. (t · c) buidhe 15:07, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

I do not see any discussion before your edit. Beside that, it gave trouble elsewhere. The Banner talk 16:11, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
I explained why I thought the edit was necessary in the edit summary. If you can't explain why my concerns were mistaken, you should not have reverted. It is not reasonable to demand discussion before editing. We can't have any productive discussion without a concrete, content based objection. If you are concerned about links, I'd guess that most should go to Israeli apartheid, or be unlinked. (t · c) buidhe 17:57, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
Indeed, WP:BRD tells us we may make a bold change and if reverted, start a discussion. This is exactly what buidhe is doing. Dorsetonian (talk) 18:33, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
No, you posted some questions in the summary plus a personal opinion. Not a serious explanation. And as I said before: it gave trouble elsewhere. In fact, it created 600+ links to disambiguation pages.
And there was no discussion beforehand about the major change, what, in relation to Israel, is certainly advisable. Now you effectively deleted an article. And that is why I boldly reverted the major, undiscussed change. The Banner talk 20:57, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
Look at the dab page... I identified 3 distinct topics that are referred to by the one term, and all of them are covered elsewhere on wiki. Since they don't mean the same thing it doesn't make sense to shoehorn them into one article, this is not wiktionary. I am skeptical that any sources exist that cover all 3, which is a strong indication that there is not a single overarching topic. (t · c) buidhe 23:08, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
I suggest a wider discussion before any major change, just out of caution. The Banner talk 23:34, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
Just a simple case of WP:IDIDNOTHEARTHAT, so again boldly reverted. The Banner talk 07:21, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
