Your recent editing history at Bar Harbor, Maine shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi & thanks for your message! I didn't know about the discussion option & am glad you have it (not interested in endless wars). Did you see my reasoning behind the simple removal of "resort" from the first line of the Bar Harbor entry? By Wikipedia's own "resort town" definition, it's when "tourism or vacationing is the primary component of the local culture and economy." But as I thought I proved But as I thought my source (a 2022 "existing conditions" report, put out by the municipality of Bar Harbor, proved, tourism is n o t the primary driver of the economy. I live in Bar Harbor and would further argue tourism is not The Primary Component of our culture either. Please see p.51 of this report: https://www.barharbormaine.gov/DocumentCenter/View/6373/100422-Bar-Harbor-Existing-Conditions-Analysis-Report

In this case, would you please reconsider the lastest reversion of my edit and remove "resort" from the first line? Eulenspiegel23 (talk) 21:32, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your view

Hello, I wonder if I could get your view on the seaside resort page? It stats a seaside resort is a town, village or hotel but not city? There are many seaside resort cities! I feel city should be added, I have added this on the talk page of seaside resorts, it would be good to hear your view if possible? Thanks. 78.86.133.37 (talk) 15:29, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't pretend to be an expert on these classifications and since I'm here arguing against pigeon-holing my town as a resort, I might be the wrong person for your question as you seem to want to move in the opposite direction--to include more, larger, towns/cities under the resort umbrella. Maybe though my point applies: any place that has other activities that define the majority of its residents' lives should not be labeled a resort. It's just gut feeling, but I wonder which cities are really first & foremost resorts. The article mentions Nice, on France's Cote d'Azure. I've been there more than once--it's a lovely city and tourism is surely huge there but it has a culture all its own too & museums & artists & many who d o n ' t make a living catering to visitors. Maybe it's about perspective--are we looking at towns/cities/communities too much from the outside when we label them tourist or resort towns? For me, living in a town struggling with overtourism, I'm wary of the outside perspective--feel it overwhelms the interior life of a place. Just my thoughts . . .

Thank you for replying, I appreciate your view. 78.86.133.37 (talk) 08:11, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, too, on looking up "resort towns" last night, I discovered both Palm Springs and Gatlinburg are described as resort cities (Palm Springs as a "desert resort city"). I don't see why being "seaside" should disqualify a city as a resort any more than "desert." Eulenspiegel23 (talk) 11:13, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
