 * Klueske,
 * My edit which you rejected was a correction of an edit without any verified source. The claim that disputed my contribution was solely an opinion. And a very wrong one at that.
 * As I stated on the page, essentially every TIF district encompasses a large tract of real estate far beyond the propose TIF projects. The prior contributor tried to minimize this reality by editing to say they "often do". That was misleading and my version was accurate. By any study of TIF use my version was far more accurate and important for readers to understand.
 * Thanks

Hi. I am not trying to pester of frustrate you, but if you name specific numbers, WP:Verifiability demands a source. More over, the broad range you mention in your edit, come across less than neutral. WP:NPOV. Especially if there is not source. "Trust me, bro" does not work on Wikipedia.

 * I did not name specific numbers. The change made that I want to undo also did not provide any verification for their claim.
 * How is it they can change WP while making false claims about my prior content and they provide nothing for their claims?
 * It's clear to me they are a biased supporter of TIF trying to weaken the factual description I had previously contributed.
 * They are quite wrong in their assertions. Graphman3 (talk) 03:53, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Quoting your edit:hundreds or thousands of acres
 * That's a broad range, but still specific: it excludes rather a large (actually infinite) amount of numbers. But that's splitting hairs. The edit still needs a source (WP:V). No amount of semantics will change that.
 * It's clear to me they are a biased supporter of [...] Kleuske (talk) 05:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I could interpret that as a personal attack, but I prefer to think you have no actual source and use ad hominems instead. Kleuske (talk) 05:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

I see you tried again. No matter how convinced you are, you still need a source for that kind of claims. "Go look it up" is not a valid alternative. Kleuske (talk) 14:02, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
