Edit warring

The standard for including information in this article is verifiability, one of Wikipedia's pillars. What you know or think you know about gangs is irrelevant. Wikipedia articles are based on independent reliable sources.

If you think another gang is an ally or rival, do not add them unless you can cite an independent reliable source for the information. Unsourced changes will be reverted.

If you think a gang listed no longer exists but a reliable source lists them as an ally or rival, do not remove them. You will need to cite independent reliable sources for the change. Wikipedia articles are not meant to be a "current" snapshot of subjects. Obviously things change over time. Unsourced changes will be reverted.

If you thing dates, names, locations or anything else in the article is simply incorrect or out of date, you will need to explain changes. Unsourced/unexplained changes will be reverted. Merely asserting that you are right is meaningless. If the information is not sourced, you can use that as a reason to remove it. You cannot add unsourced info in its place. If information cites a reliable source, you will need to discuss the issue. - SummerPhD^v2.0 22:47, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This edit introduces several changes not supported by the source cited or otherwise explained. Additionally, the source cited is not obviously reliable for the changes made

The edit adds "Bowe Brothers", "Greek" and "Black Disciples", none of which are discussed in any way by the source cited for the change.[1]

Additionally, the edit removes "Latin Kings" without explanation of any kind.

The IP editor has been blocked for edit warring/proxy editing. - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:48, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The IP was blocked for editing from an open proxy, disruption, edit warring and personal attacks, initially for 31 hours, later upped to one week. I have reverted the edit per the discussion above and WP:BRD. - SummerPhD^v2.0 04:47, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Confused about dates

In the lede we read about the Rocks Push who ...'dominated the area from the 1800s to the end of the 1900s. '

But if you go to the page for the Rocks Push they were active from the 1870s to the end of the 1890s.

I have no idea how long their reign was, but this is a pretty big discrepancy, which someone who does know should edit.Dean1954 (talk) 14:20, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
