Latest Cuyo Islands edits
Hello. Can you please explain these edits? I'm especially concerned by your deletion of the entire "See" section, a basic standard section of destination articles on this site. As someone who doesn't know these islands but is just a reader, it looks to me like your edits in this case are mostly destructive, removing information that might be of use to a traveler. I look forward to your explanations, but if none are forthcoming, I'm likely to undo all your recent work within a few days.

All the best,

Hello Ikan....yes, I found it necessary to delete the "see" section due to a local business competitors' editing my previous comments to favor his own personal agenda. This little "war" has been going back and forth for some time now. It would be highly unfair to me to undo it at this stage without given things a chance to cool. I intend to start the section again from a new perspective in the hope this person will not continue with his shenanigans.

Regards, Aalexa51


 * Thanks for the explanation. It can be reasonable to delete content, though a reason should always be given for blanking a section; however, deleting the "See" subheading itself is rarely OK. I will reinstate the subheading if it is still lacking from the article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:50, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your generous understanding. Reinstating the entire "See" section is fine with me since I wrote it all in the first place. The problem is this other person treats this entire page as proprietary and seems to be threatened by my factual contributions. Thus he repeatedly re-edits portions of the "Do" heading to distort facts in his favor at my expense. My drastic action was to withdraw the "See" section in the hope he would back-off in other areas especially now that there is a 3rd contributor known to us and is objective and factual. I've lived here 5+ years and have a year-round beach resort, he is a seasonal sportsman with a specialty business catering to his sport only. He likes to hijack my offerings and supplant them with his own leaving me at a disadvantage. Frankly I'm tired of it and welcome your intervention.

Regards, Aalexa51


 * Yes, I am well aware of what he's doing. Looking at the history of the article refreshed my memory. I'd ask you to please reinstate the version of "See" that you think is best. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:39, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
