First, I'm not new to this, so you can skip the boilerplate messaging, which, BTW, you appear to dislike when it is sent to you, as witnessed on your own personal page. My reasoning to WP standards is sound; it is you who are in violation of WP edit warring policy over the fact that Joe Biden declared Columbus Day in October 2021, which *is* part of history, which happens to be the title of the section in which it appears. Although you are correct that Congress' 1934 initiation of the holiday is mentioned before in the article, the main point of the sentence that you are trying to remove demonstrates well the continuation of the tradition by Presidential proclamation to the present day, which stands as history, justifying inclusion in the section. The sentence was already there when you decided to remove it. Leave the sentence in; I'm perfectly willing continue to discuss it in Talk. To continue to remove it is edit warring on your part. 2601:543:4200:73E0:1506:1580:DDE3:2 (talk) 16:50, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
