[edit]Hi Paul:
I had a good reason for moving the paragraph about the Eastwoods. Previously, it plunged into talking about Robert Eastwood prior to any introduction in the article to the Eastwood family. Anyone who started reading the article from the beginning would suddenly find Robert mentioned without any explanation of who he and his family were. I moved the paragraph to make it follow the one where the sale of the land to the Eastwoods is described.
However, I see someone else has now made another drastic edit, making this point moot.
I give up, at least for the time being.
David

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button 
or 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:18, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Because you and several other editors have been edit warring extensively on this article over the past week, I've protected it fully — nobody, except for administrators, will be able to edit it for the next few days. Please go to Talk:Long Branch, Toronto to see my reasoning and to discuss how better to write the article. Finally, please note that edit warriors are liable to be blocked: I would have blocked you and other warriors, except for the simple fact that so many people were warring that it would have been impractical. You may be blocked if you engage in further edit warring in the future. Nyttend (talk) 00:25, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message. When protecting a page because of an edit war, administrators are supposed to be neutral instead of protecting a favoured version. For that reason, I didn't intentionally protect your revision; if one of the other editors had been the last to make an edit, your version wouldn't have been the one visible right now. On an unrelated note — please don't leave the same message on a talk page more than once; it clogs up the page. You're not in trouble; I'm simply making a request.

- Please see User talk:Nyttend. I've commented on the recent edit wars on the three Etobicoke waterfront neighbourhoods that you have been a part of. I explain my concerns and why I responded the way I did. I can see that you know a lot and want to improve the articles, and that's commendable, but please read those comments. -A.Roz (talk) 03:53, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
