thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Why are you deleting information about drum corps shows that has been created over years and years of time?  I see that you changed Blue Devils and Colts and SCV.  I reverted the BD page and someone else caught you on the Colts and SCV page.  Please explain yourself.  Apparently, the terms means generally, "I don't like this"... there are citations to these materials.  If you know Drum Corps however, you would understand that these sources are not commonly available, and built through community efforts.  Drum Corps seasons are brief, only about three months per year.  The show music is kept secret for months so as to avoid detection among competitors, like football plays.  Then, once shows are over, they are not easy to find again.  
Drum corps are all non-profits, as is their organizing body.  They do not break even and require annual donations in order to stay afloat.  Their instructors often work for free for the love of the performances, and are band instructors and former members.  
So what is the value in deleting years and even decades of information here?

* Maybe it's time to bring this to talk. Your edit summary for this edit said the section you were removing was unsourced. However there was a citation (to "DCX: The Drum Corps Xperience") attached to that section. Do you think that source isn't reliable for the purposes of verifying the information in that section? (FWIW, I'm pretty sympathetic to your cuts, but since this is leading to some contentious back-and-forth edits, maybe it's worth being a little clearer about the underlying policy issues.)

message: I propose merging Vanguard Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps into Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps. The Vanguard Cadets are a feeder corps for SVC, just as the articles for Blue Devils B and C have been merged to the Blue Devils article. Bgsu98 (talk) 02:07, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
