Hello, I'm WikiDan61. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Blue Ant Media without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Blue Ant Media
With this edit, you removed the following cited facts:
 * On December 22, 2011, Blue Ant Media announced that Torstar Corporation had acquired a 25% stake in the company.
 * On December 21, 2011, Blue Ant Media announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase specialty broadcaster High Fidelity HDTV.
 * It initially purchased 29.9% of the company with the remaining 70.1% acquired once the deal was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. The acquisition was completed on August 1, 2012.
 * On August 17, 2012, Blue Ant Media announced that it would be purchasing bold, a specialty channel airing a mix of drama; comedy; arts and culture; and sports programming; from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for an undisclosed amount, conditional on regulatory approval.
 * After initially purchasing a minority stake (15%) in Canadian publishing company Cottage Life Media Inc. (then known as Quarto Communications) in the summer of 2011, in December 2012, Blue Ant Media purchased the remaining shares in the company bringing its ownership to 100%.

Your edit summary for this change was
 * Updated the company the information to be current. Company description was not accurate nor was there any supporting information that was. Removed out of date info (even though it was cited) - old info.

Is it your contention that the cited facts are not true? That the past has changed? Or is it merely the case that, this information being old, you feel it is no longer relevant? Company histories are generally considered quite relevant as they show how the company came to be what it is today.

I have asked you before to discuss these changes at Talk:Blue Ant Media prior to simply making the changes. Removing cited information from an article is considered a form of vandalism at Wikipedia, and can result in the revocation of your editing privileges. Please explain why you feel this cited information needs to be removed. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:49, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm fine to keep the citations if you can keep the other changes. Not trying to go against Wiki policy, just trying to update our page.


 * What would be the point of keeping the citations if the facts that they cite have been removed? If I restore the cited facts, what "other changes" should be retained? WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:11, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

No, sorry, to be clear you can keep the citations along with the facts as long as the other descriptions and updates are kept. I updated the description of the company and the assets.
