Beyond My Ken's WP Policy Violation

I noted BMK's public speculation on my talk page that my revert of his undo was due to "frustration" and was an attempt at "disruption". I suggest he read WP:GOODFAITH, especially the phrase "editors should not attribute the actions being criticized to malice unless there is specific evidence of malice." BMK, please do not be disruptive on The Pierre because your undo was reverted, such behavior can lead to your being blocked. Kerry (talk) 03:37, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

School articles and lists of activities and such

Hi! I was looking at your edits to Merritt Island High School and noticed you'd done exactly what I have done in the past, changing a sentence with a seemingly interminable list separated by commas into a bulleted list. It was pointed out to me that at WP:SCH/AG, specifically WP:WPSCH/AG#WNTI, a sentence is preferred to the list. No big deal, just thought you would like to no. Thanks for your help on MIHS and Wikipedia in general! Jacona (talk) 14:42, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. I was unaware that bulleted lists are frowned upon. Should I revert my edits, or wait for someone else to do it?

Please see...

...WP:NOPRICES #5 and WP:NOTGUIDE #2. You've already been blocked once over your little mini-obsession with me, are you trying for two? BMK (talk) 17:30, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Save your empty, childish threats for the easily intimidated. If my post was in violation of something, by all means report me. Kerry (talk) 14:07, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Room rates in hotel rooms

Can I bring to your attention this thread on AN/I where you last raised the issue of whether hotel articles should have room rates in them, and remind you that admin Dennis Brown responded at that time:

Sorry, but Beyond My Ken is right on this one. You can use dollar figures to establish relative information for the reader (ie: "this would be $2000 in 2012 dollars") but not regular rates for hotels. The rare exception is something you get consensus for on the talk page if you think there should be an exception. I would also note that just because one article does something, that doesn't mean it is right anyway. See WP:WAX. According to WP:BRD, after he reverted the IP, you should normally have taken it to the talk page before reverting it back. Just reverting back is confrontational and asking for a fight. Regardless, BMK understands the policy and I think you haven't fully grasped it yet. I don't see any need to do anything else here. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:11, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

and admin Euyalus, who closed the thread, commented

The removal of prices seems to be within policy, but if you disagree you might consider WP:3O or WP:DRN as ways to get additional opinions. -- Euryalus (talk) 00:35, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

I would suggest that following the comment of these two administrators would be a good idea, and don't really understand why you re-added the room rates now, six weeks later, after the result you got from that previous discussion. BMK (talk) 01:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not really interested in your advice, you've already violated Wikipedia rules by posting a harassing threat on this very talk page (see above). You have no credibility with me, so save your keystrokes for someone else. Kerry (talk) 02:33, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In case @Dennis Brown: or @Euryalus: have anything to add, and to let them know that I mentioned them here, I am pinging them with this comment. BMK (talk) 01:23, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That discussion summed it up well enough. For a hotel like this that is extraordinarily expensive, there is not an automatic exemption. I can see why you might want to take it to the talk page and see if there is a consensus to make an exception and adding this information (assuming it is sourced), but until that happens, it is subject to standard operating procedure for prices and hotels.

Popcult sections

I believe you've been told before that the mere mention of something in a movie or TV show is not sufficiently significant to warrant inclusion in an "In Popular Culture" section of an article, and I believe you've also been warned about edit warring over stuff like this. If you believe that my removal of your inclusion was wrong, the thing to do is to go to the article's talk page and give the reasons why you believe that a mention of the Pierre Hotel in Joe vs. the Volcano is significant enough to be included. There, other editors can give there views. In the meantime, the article stays in the state it was in previously, until a consensus for your inclusion has been reached. Please do not continue to edit war over this, discuss it instead. Thanks, BMK (talk) 20:15, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've been "told before" (by you) but your opinion is not authoritative. I believe Wikipedia policy is in force, not your personal opinion. If your opinion is supported by specific Wikipedia policy, kindly cite it. Merely reverting an edit is (as admins have told me) simply looking for a fight.

WP:IPCEXAMPLES:

The three most common forms of unencyclopedic pop-culture trivia, even when not in list form, are:

Inclusion of unremarkable mentions/appearances – If an actor had a two-second cameo in a TV commercial, it is unlikely that anyone cares except maybe that actor. Depth of treatment in the source is usually a strong determining factor in the distinction between relevance and triviality. ... BMK (talk) 22:07, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
