@ GoneIn60: Please offer a valid explanation as to why edit 962626414 was reverted. This edit changes the text on Wikipedia to something that is more accurate. No "unreliable" sources were attempted to be added or referenced directly. KevinTheGuy ( talk) 04:22, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
originally reported by a fan group of the brand" to both the lead and body. That claim isn't sourced in the article. You also removed "some" in front of "privately-owned franchises", making it a misleading statement. Only some franchises remained opened, not all. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 04:37, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
Dish maintained a small number of Blockbuster franchise agreements, which allowed some privately-owned franchises to remain open worldwide

KevinTheGuy, I see you have added back contested material to the article in this edit. This violates WP:DUE, since this is not a significant aspect of Blockbuster the company. When speaking about this topic as a whole, a rental operation at the last Blockbuster on earth holds no significance whatsoever. This can also be seen as WP:PROMOTIONAL in nature, promoting, advertising, or even showcasing the actions of one store. This isn't an article about the store in Bend, Oregon. I advise you undo this edit until there is sufficient consensus to include it. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 22:30, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
KevinTheGuy: The changes you've been trying to make ( diff1, diff2) are unsourced. I'm not seeing any support for "numerous promotional stunts" in the cited sources. A search for one also came up empty. If you have a source or two that support this, please add them if you intend to make this claim. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 13:49, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
I've created the stub Blockbuster (Bend, Oregon), so feel free to trim this article or move content over appropriately. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 13:28, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Since the store in Bend, Oregon was detailed with multiple references in the lede of the article, and then discussed in the body of the article repeating some of the same references, I removed the repeated info from the lede, thinking details in the body of the article were sufficient. My edit was reverted. Counting the photo caption, the information about the Bend, Oregon store is repeated 3 times in the article. Is this necessary and appropriate? (Note also the statement in the New Zealand section of the article about the Bend, Oregon store.) -- Infrogmation ( talk) 18:44, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
the page came back up sometime last night. we should be on the lookout for any noteworthy news sources 64.64.138.142 ( talk) 20:38, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
