As a courtesy to other contributors, could we discuss complicated or controversial issues on the talk page, not in our edit summaries...[edit]

An anonymous IP address excised information I added with the edit summary "Undoing this and associated edits by GeoSwan because the photo and story added (fishing boat running aground nearby) were not noteworthy enough to include in a Wikipedia article."

Explaining complicated or controversial edit solely with a brief edit summary is the worst trigger for edit warring.

I reverted this series of edits and encourage the IP contributor to (1) explain themselves on the talk page; (2) establish one named wiki-ID, and use it for all their edits, so their is a single point of contact. I have a terrible wikistalker, who was indefinitely blocked three years ago, and has since then mis-used almost 100 different anonymous IP addresses to continue to wikistalk me. If you really think you can make a positive contribution establish a named wiki-ID.

As for whether this information is "noteworthy enough" - RS thought it was noteworthy enough to write about. Geo Swan (talk) 14:37, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The RS said the grounding occurred in Neka Bay, not in Hoonah itself. Neka Bay is not only not in city limits, it's in fact quite some distance away, across Port Frederick from the city. It's obvious you are trying to place it in this article because any other article more appropriate to its location would not be seen by as many readers. Furthermore, it stands alone in a separate section called "Water transport". Hoonah sits on an island. I'm supposed to believe that the only thing notable about water transport in a community located on an island is some piece of yesterday's headlines reported by a media outlet a short distance away? So much for "the sum of all human knowledge". You've not even trying to make this anything other than a dumping ground for news stories.
