August 2016: Updated to Reflect #1 / #2 Status for Highest Fatalities in Texas

For the record, I love Lake Travis and have lived on and around it for over 20 years now. Having said that, this article formerly read, prior to today's edits, like a Chamber of Commerce brochure. Recent and unending deaths on the lake clearly necessitate that we all show responsibility for an improvement that embraces the lake we love, yet points out the largest causes of deaths and -- most importantly -- how to best avoid them. I hope I've achieved a strong step in the right direction. --2602:306:BC24:8DF0:456C:DD75:A639:FD98 (talk) 21:57, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia article on Lake Travis is not here so that self-appointed safety experts can advise people on how to boat safely and repeat statistics on boat safety that aren't specific to Lake Travis. I've left the stats that pertain to Lake Travis directly and removed the rest, your love of Lake Travis notwithstanding. This article is not the place to "show responsibility for an improvement that embraces the lake we love." Please see WP:NOT. The info you posted would be more appropriate on your own personal Lake Travis website, which you are free to build anytime you want. LAroboGuy (talk) 14:29, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Someone apparently brand new to Wikipedia's "rollback" feature made a repeated mistake of rolling back all of my clearly substantially-researched edits. That's now apparently stopped, if not in any way been apologized for. But I do welcome, of course, constructive edits to my own. Done for now. --2602:306:BC24:8DF0:456C:DD75:A639:FD98 (talk) 21:57, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.P.S. Apology for the rollback(s) has been issued...and accepted. --2602:306:BC24:8DF0:456C:DD75:A639:FD98 (talk) 23:05, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You threatened an established editor here with your statement "You may expect your rollback authority to be removed in the very near-immediate future." You're the one who should be issuing an apology to that editor. That behavior is unacceptable. LAroboGuy (talk) 14:29, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 3 external links on Lake Travis. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

General Safety Information being added

An anonymous editor has been adding general safety information to this page for a while, over and over again, which I don't think is appropriate. I keep reverting it but that doesn't seem to do any good. Can anyone help with making sure this doesn't keep happening? thank you. LAroboGuy (talk) 19:00, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
