Do not use multiple IP addresses to vandalize Wikipedia, like you did at Montclair, Oakland, California. Such attempts to avoid detection or circumvent the blocking policy will not succeed. You are welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia but your recent edits have been reverted or removed. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia '''you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''' Binksternet (talk) 05:06, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Your comment, Binksternet, is mendacious, false, and offensively condescending. Your dishonest, bad-faith charge has no basis whatsoever vis-à-vis wikipedia's editorial guidelines.

Indeed, that which I posted conveyed facts essential to any given reader's understanding of the Montclair district in Oakland, e.g., Montclair's is one of Oakland's most prestigious neighborhoods based on its median housing costs, its citizens' educational levels, median income, professions, and social capital. If you would prefer that I provide a citation or multiple citations to back this up, then make this request, and I would provide as such from multiple sources.

I challenge you,"Binksternet," to justify defining as "vandalism" the above mentioned irrefutable facts that, in sum, convey both the core character of Montclair (affluent, socially prestigious, well educated) as well as its status as a sought after neighborhood, Oakland.

I further challenge you, "Binkerstenet," to explicate why you insist on eschew any thesis statement that sums up accurately the characteristics of Montclair, e.g., its social, economic, and cultural standing in Oakland.


 * You have been trying to promote the real estate of the Montclair and Ridgemont districts for years now, by making it sound more attractive to the buyer. To me, it looks like you are not here to improve Wikipedia, but to further your own aims. If you were concerned with broadening the reach of Wikipedia you would have noticed that in many other cases like this one, municipalities or housing areas have had the descriptor "affluent" removed, per the guideline WP:Neutral point of view and WP:PEACOCK, relying instead on published sources discussing the place's ranking in terms of objective economic measurements such as housing prices or median income. The problem with that strategy is that Montclair does not have clearly defined boundaries, so published information cannot usually be applied the district as a whole, and Wikipedia's policy about WP:Verifiability cannot be satisfied. Instead, you would have to tell the reader how this or that definition of the district ranks it, for instance how city-data.com defines the district boundaries and ranks the wealth.
