I responded to the points for removal which were either false (that no other article has areas within cities in biographical section) and shown examples and that the insinuation that I was only adding this to repeat Calgary for political purposes.

He uses untruths and hyperbolic statements. I've countered them, and he doesn't respond. Then a week goes by and he just reverts the edit.

:::::We're done here. The other editor doesn't need consensus to '''remove''' content felt to be inconsistent with policy; '''you need it to add ''or'' restore it'''.

:::::: That's not the standard for removal. By your logic, I don't need consensus to add information that's consistent with Wiki policy which I did. I added information that was correct and researched and consistent with other politicians' articles. It was good faith edit. I went to the Talk Page to discuss this and researched by answer to respond to just subjective critics of something that clearly he just didn't like Calgary mentioned too much (that's not Wiki policy). Despite his invitation, the other user didn't actually engage and when I pointed out that he was making false points (that my edit was inconsistent with other politicians' articles despite me showing many example to counter that) he never replied. There was no consensus. Again, it isn't Wiki policy to revert even if you think it's correct (invitation to Talk Page or not). Whatever I did, you made a mistake of siding with one person over another when the other contributor kept reverting my edits which is no different than what you are accusing me of doing. You were wrong, I don't understand how it's okay for you to critic others without noticing that BOTH parties in an edit get warnings. Despite his invitation, I wrote on the Talk Page and he didn't so his invitation was disingenuous (that's not just my opinion, but him both not actually writing on the Talk Page as well as impugning my motives which isn't part of Wiki policy). ] (]) 23:12, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::::{{re|Cladeal832}} Once again, I sided with no one. You received a caution from me concerning your approaching 3RR in conjunction with a warning by another editor, '''a warning also provided to the other participant in the edit war'''.

Hello G. removal of maintenance tags and adding stub tags to articles that aren't rings a bell. I think it was sometime last year but I can't remember for sure.

please review the following Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines, among others that may be mentioned in a message I left on your Talk page:

If none of these pages addresses your concerns,
you can leave me a note.
If you do, please sign and date your post by typing four tildes: ~~~~.

If you can't be bothered to do any of this, please do not post on my page.

General Ization is trying to take a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon. Most likely, however, General Ization will not be able to keep away from Misplaced Pages for that long, and will probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every once in a while anyway.
