Graywalls (talk) 22:11, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Why is this guy Graywalls always right? Always undoing my edits? Iss246 (talk) 23:05, 15 November 2025 (UTC) Why is he the umpire? Iss246 (talk) 23:05, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- This is the story. City College and other units of the City University of New York have an Honors College. Acceptance to the Honors College means a student gets free tuition. Many other institutions that have an honors division also provide for free tuition. But CUNY and City College, which is part of CUNY, offer something else, something unique, namely, access to NYC cultural institutions such as museums, Broadway theaters, concert halls, etc. Of course, NYC is rich with such institutions, which makes the University's passport to those institutions unique and difficult to duplicate by colleges and universities located elsewhere. I don't understand why Graywalls is policing me. Over and over, he deletes my additions to WP. And of course there is all the tedious back-and-forth with him about the deletions and my defending the additions. I would be happy if he were to edit one of my additions to improve the writing or add an appropriate source. That I would appreciate. But he doesn't. He just tears out what I write. He does this again and again, which makes writing for WP so demoralizing along with his tedious arguments on talk pages. Many times when I make an addition to WP, he intervenes to reverse it. My preference is that he do a little research and make the writing better. He does this to many other contributors to WP.
- I will give you an straightforward example of what I mean by trying to make someone else's addition to a WP entry better. I was reading the WP article about the writer and editor Tina Brown. Yeah! Sometimes I read a WP article just to appreciate the content. I did that with the Tina Brown article after I read a transcript of Lulu Garcia-Navarro's interview of Brown. Toward the end of the article, there is a mention that her late husband Harry Evans was knighted but there was no source. I therefore looked for a potentially appropriate source, read it to be sure it was appropriate, found it to be a reasonable source, and wrote it into the WP article about Tina Brown. That is what I mean by helping a previous contributor, rather than tearing out the sentence as if it were an offense to the encyclopedia. Isn't that better than tearing down the writing of someone who had previously added to the article? Iss246 (talk) 23:28, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
