Dunedin, FL

I represent the Dunedin History Museum and the city historian. The reference link(s) to the first land grant and the incorporation of the city is from an old incorrect city of Dunedin page. The dates 1852 and 1925 are incorrect for the first land grant and the founding of the city.

Your help needed on Edit Warring User

Mr. Albury,

You were the admin that spoke to me and user @A455bcd9 about the edit warring that took place a few week ago.

Well, this user has come back and reverted my edits once again on the “Levantine Arabic” article. I want to point out that he actually re implemented the information that was in dispute while i was gone. When i just came back, i saw it. But i said i was going to make the compromise for the sake of ending the dispute permanently and made ok with it. I simply re-organized the summary and added more specified information of the info already there in the same section , and he came and deleted it.

He has been maintaining a grip over that page for the longest time and as i mentioned before, deletes also the contributions of other users that may not fit his POV pushing. Look at the edits just in the past week alone, you will immediately lose count.

Mr. Albury, he has become a real big problem. You warned that if he were to revert my edits again, you will block him. Please deal with him accordingly.

He has opened up yet another case on me in the admin board also. The previous one is the one you managed. He is making every attempt to try and get me in trouble so he can go back on that page and delete factually accurate information to suit his agenda. thanks.
