Nomination of Brewery Collectibles Club of America for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Brewery Collectibles Club of America is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brewery Collectibles Club of America until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 05:07, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Deletion discussion

Hi Porterhse: HighKing's comments in the deletion discussion are frustrating, but we should both stop engaging with him. He's incorrect about the policies that he's citing — his standards for satisfying the policies are way too high. We've made our points; if we interact with him any more, then it just gives him a chance to keep saying things. More people will look at the article and make their own decisions. Just a suggestion, hope you're having a nice day. :) — Toughpigs (talk) 18:02, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Want to STRONGLY express how much I appreciate your input. I tried to resist responding further, but the WSJ article hadn't been brought up and I wanted to bring attention to it.

I agree with you, again. Technocrats can pick the flyshit out of the pepper all day on this stuff. Unproductive and frankly ridiculous. Thanks again. Porterhse (talk) 18:08, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

December 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Don't Look Now, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 22:50, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Don't Look Now shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Betty Logan (talk) 23:34, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

I do not intend to waste any more time on this beyond a final explanation and defense of my edit.

It was done in good faith for those who have seen the movie, want to (as I did) learn more about the city, Venice, that played a key role, and appreciate the opportunity to arrive at the page via one click - a wonderful convention of Wikipedia that attracts users - instead of having to type it in.

The policy cited in defense of the edit is ambiguous, obscure, open to wide latitudes of interpretation, and flagrantly ignored or outright disobeyed on myriad pages. Your time could be spent much more productively on improving the policy, and/or on making useful, welcome edits on pages that really need it, including literally thousands more egregious violations than the one you are edit warring over.

I could care less about the ramifications of an edit war, including being blocked. If it's more important to you to win a picayune edit war than avoid alienating a user with 2000 edits and 0.1% reversions of them, Godspeed. I read the talk pages; it wouldn't be the first time a Mrs. Grundy turned a friend of Wikipedia into an enemy by picking petty squabbles like this. The choice is yours.

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. --Lydïa (☎️ ◦ ✍) 17:29, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring at Don't Look Now

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 20:01, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
