Charleston Armed Forces

All Branches of the armed forces are to be shown under Charleston. After all, it is called "Joint Base Charleston", not "Joint Base North Charleston" for a reason. Further, the location of each base is clearly shown and credited.

The military built Charleston. I am certain if BRAC comes a calling to Charleston again, all would run to defend those bases, regardless of them being in Charleston, North Charleston, or another local city.

Lastly, the port section also credit the entire port, not just that section in the city of Charleston. Again,, it is called the "Port of Charleston" regardless of where it is truly located - remember, metro Charleston. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scsu76 (talk • contribs) 00:58, 20 December 2014‎

By your own statement above, the material you are adding is relevant to the Charleston, South Carolina metropolitan area article, and not the articles on Charleston, South Carolina.

The city articles are about the cities. The metro article is about the metro area. They are seperate articles for a reason, ie: they cover different defined areas. Only places that are physically located within the borders should be listed.

I am seeing some conflicting information on if some of these are within the physical borders of North Charleston. For now I have removed those listings as well. Please use the article talk page so that consensus can be reached based on the available third-party reliable sources as to if these fall within the North Charleston borders. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:38, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Do not continue your edit war at Charleston, South Carolina. You must take this to the article talk page so that community discussion can take place. The city article is for information within the city. The metro article is for information about the metro area. They are two individual subjects, covering distinct gographic boundaries, and with their own distinct articles. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:28, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Charleston, South Carolina. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:32, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
