replies: text: Well first off, please don't sign and time stamp your edits to article pages.  Those are for use in discussions such as this one, not to stamp everything you add to wikipedia.  Also, if you find yourself reverting and counter reverting more than 3 times, it is best to stop altogether and discuss the disagreement here or on the other user's talk page.  Now as for the material you kept putting into the article, I agree that a lot of it was not very suitable.  The first bit ("Island politics have long been divisive between those who want small, managed growth, and those who care for larger developments. Since it's inception as a municipality, Bowen Island has had many an on-going battle between the two factions.") sounds like an opinion that can't really be demonstrated, hence unsuitable for an article.  It is also unreferenced.  Then you start talking about artificial turf.  I could maybe see a brief mention of artificial turf, but you go on for 5 paragraphs about this seemingly unimportant issue.  Wikipedia strives to avoid putting undue weight on a subject, and I think this is obviously a case of that.  TastyCakes (talk) 16:20, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, the section reads like it has been cut and paste from a local newspaper or something.  Is that the case?  TastyCakes (talk) 16:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

text: There are several problems here. One, you were adding the material repeatedly, without discussion, even after it was removed by several other editors. This culminated in your multiple reverts a few days back. Generally speaking, if you find that your contributions are removed, it is time for discussion rather than reversion. Second, and perhaps more important, is that the contribution itself is problematic. It begins as a comment on the voting history of Bowen Island, but quickly devolves into an editorial-like commentary on one specific issue. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not intended as a forum or public discussion site, but instead as n encyclopedic reference resource with a world-wide audience. --Ckatzchatspy 16:28, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Please put your comments at the bottom of this page so it doesn't get all out of order and confusing.  It wasn't an anonymous editor it was me, and you'll find my reasons above.  TastyCakes (talk) 16:52, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

text: While I appreciate that you are new to the site, I do have to say that your claims above are incorrect and overstated. No-one "disabled" your ability to appeal; you were blocked for 3RR and edit warring, simple as that. You were still able to post on your page, and the block was only for 31 hours. You (as with any contributor) are free to seek consensus, but that does not mean you resume the cycle of reposting the same text without addressing concerns raised here. --Ckatzchatspy 16:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I've reverted the undiscussed move because it was moved to the wrong title format. If this does require disambiguation, the proper landing place would be Bowen Island, British Columbia as this is primarily a community/municipality article, not a geographic feature article. Let's discuss to confirm if a dab is required and then we can request the current redirect to be deleted to make way for the move. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 02:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree that the correct title should be 'Bowen Island, British Columbia'. Right now there's an endless loop: 'Bowen Island' takes you to the disambiguation page; and 'Bowen Island (British Columbia)' also takes you to the disambiguation page; and clicking on 'Bowen Island (British Columbia)' on the disambiguation page also just takes you back to disambiguation. There seems to be no way to get 'Bowen Island (British Columbia)' to load, so that I could move it to 'Bowen Island, British Columbia'. Do you know how to get out of this loop?Boy.bowen (talk) 03:07, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

text: I think a disambiguation page is a little much for this. There's the Bowen Island in BC page and the Bowen Island in Australia page. The other two examples of a Bowen Island in Ontario and in the Philippines are unlikely to have pages in the future due to notability issues. Since there's the two main articles, a hatnote seems like it could be sufficient to direct people to the other one if necessary. Air.light (talk) 03:58, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
