Several IP editors have been edit warring over this page, including repeatedly adding and removing a {{COI}} template. Possible conflicts of interest and content disputes should be discussed on the talk page, and not in edit summaries. Allegations of sockpuppetry should be taken to WP:SPI.

I've lifted the full protection. It seems pretty clear that COI editing and sockpuppetry is the source of all of the recent issues on this page. The consistent theme is attempts to add the travel agency to the article as you can see in these edits: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. @John Yunshire: Thanks for providing me with more information.

John Yunshire, you are seeming involved in a slow-burn edit war that includes reverting valid information from reliable sources. Could you please explain why this is the case? We can have the conversation here or at ANI - your call. - SchroCat (talk) 16:45, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Can everyone please stop edit warring? This page has not been stable in months without a clear reason. I don't think anyone can actually tell what the point of contention is. King Lobclaw, what was the reason for your recent revert exactly? Keivan.fTalk03:05, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Redflag - I'm not seeing any valid reason for the revert, as it is not an improvement to the article. It appears to me there is a concerted effort to prevent this article from being updated. And removing references and archive links from an article, as seen in this diff, is detrimental to our core policy on verifiability. Furthermore, reverting the image back to a photo that is 16 years old is not an improvement either, when there is a more recent one from 2023, as seen here. I also agree that King Lobclaw needs to explain their revert. I will leave a message on their talk page.Isaidnoway(talk)04:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's a reliable source and the article is written by a named journalist. If you have proof of anything else, show it, but otherwise, it stays in the article. All magazines advertise, but that does not mean all content is an advertisement. - SchroCat (talk) 08:27, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I was trying to follow the argument and reverted what I thought was against consensus. I clearly got the wrong end of the stick. Feel free to revert my revert. King Lobclaw (talk) 10:32, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I don't understand why this page was being made to be outdated on purpose and with no valid reason given. It's obviously better to use a newer image when one is available, plus the guy's current profession seems to be travel-related (see another example here). This version of the page looks updated now, so well done, everyone involved Doctorstrange617 (talk) 14:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
