Deletion[edit]

Why was its location in Chelsea Manhattan deleted - is there some rule that it is ok to say it is NYC, but you can't say it is in Manhattan, or in Chelsea, or its address?

And if the rest is referenced,"New York Fencer's Club .. the oldest continuous fencing club in the Western Hemisphere", New York Magazine, "the Fencers Club in Manhattan, which was established in 1883 and is the oldest continuous organization in the Western Hemisphere dedicated to teaching and promoting fencing", The Philadelphia Inquirer, "Fencers Club, the oldest fencing club in the Western hemisphere", New York Post, "The oldest fencing salle in the Western Hemisphere, the Fencers Club"[1][2][3][4][5] which is wasn't I guess, why not reflect it? --2604:2000:E010:1100:F400:20D3:AFA8:1732 (talk) 21:09, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We are not your website. Putting an address in the very first line means you don't really understand what encyclopedic writing is. And no, the rest is NOT referenced, certainly not by a bunch of bare URLs. Drmies (talk) 15:08, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is not my club as this editor suggested. He is simply wrong. Also - It is not completely uncommon to put addresses in first lines, though I agree it is not required or of course done most of the time. Right? Like in Langston Golf Course and Winter Park Country Club and Golf Course and Downtown Athletic Club, and New Orleans Athletic Club and San Francisco Italian Athletic Club and Young Women's Christian Association of Cincinnati and St James' Church, Sydney. Are those all just awful, terrible mistakes that now the editor will do public good by deleting? Is that editor going to personally attack all editors who put those addresses in saying all of them don't really understand what encyclopedic writing is? And the infobox has a section for it - just as it has a section for the year of formation, and the legal status ... we don't delete those from the text because they are in the infobox, instead we put them in both. Why is this editor's tone so mean? And why does he assume things like that? And a formatting issue is an issue for cleanup but not for deletion. My auto ref maker is not working at the moment. And I see that in Wikipedia:Bare URLs it says: "There is nothing wrong with adding bare URL references to Wikipedia. If you only have time and inclination to copy the reference URL you found, we thank you for your contribution!". I don't see anywhere that says that when you see a bare url you should delete it - why do you do that? 2604:2000:E010:1100:381E:C55C:A0B3:D536 (talk) 19:36, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
