Hi. In regards to this edit — it doesn't really matter whether there are articles on them, what matters is whether there is a reliable source backing that statement up. Do you happen to know where you heard/read that? Eman 235 / talk 21:09, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;

You are edit-warring and violating WP:BRD and WP:VERIFY at George Carlin. We cannot make uncited claims, and when reverted, we take our concerns to the talk page. If you continue to edit-war rather than discuss, an admin will be asked to intervene and may block or ]ban this IP address from editing Wikipedia. Given that it has been blocked before, it likely would be an extended block. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:17, 20 December 2015 (UTC)


 * And an admin would take note that another editor is reverting you on numerous pages including here for what he rightly calls "unsourced, undue, and off-topic" edits. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:47, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 32.218.46.251 (talk) 20:45, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Vandal Editing???
With all due respect, I honestly thought that Wikipedia welcomed information instead of its users attempting to reject it. Moreover, if anyone is "vandal-editing" here, with all due respect, it could also be construed to be you. You seem to think you know more about the article page's subject. Why can't you leave the "Sam Distefano" page alone once and for all and stop slicing/dicing it? I promise you in my heart of hearts, it has already been approved by the Wikipedia Articles Submissions staff and re-edited by them numerous times before you went in and started butchering it significantly and repeatedly. While I appreciate your passion and concern for factual accuracy, some of your comments in the "edit-history" section seemed to be getting a little personal.

I've already contacted the same Wiki staff members who originally posted the article. Again, I'm sure we all appreciate efforts to ensure factual accuracy. But by the same token, I'm sure you'll also agree that those efforts should be tempered by striking a balance with also not overstepping boundaries that ultimately result in utter annihilation of an article. I assure you, there is nothing at all to be concerned about regarding this particular article and its factual accuracy. So, if you would please, at least hold off on re-deleting entire sections until the staff members at Wikipedia have a chance to review it again? Does that sound fair enough for the time being, please? Again, I mean no offense toward you. I'm sure your intentions are in earnest. And again, I do appreciate that. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I'd be happy to discuss any future concerns at any time. Are you allowed to contact me? If so, let me know, and we'll figure out a way to correspond more easily than this posting. Happy Holidays.
