You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Half a Sixpence (2016 musical); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

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

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 21:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive406#User:Kipps20 reported by User:Loriendrew (Result: Blocked). Thank you. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 21:32, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Per a complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 23:19, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

I seem to have been given a block for 24 hours due to the fact I am trying to keep the Half a Sixpence (2016 Musical) page u oto date with contributions from the amateur dramatic area of productions. Each section has been thougoughky researched and are consistent in their facts (i.e the Yorkshire and Irish premiere performance information sections) so I fail to see why the edits keep getting removed and why I have been issued a temporary blockKipps20 (talk) 00:47, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You have a page full of warnings and notifications here. Maybe you can read some of them, and follow some of the links, like [one]. Or you could have done anything except for just hit revert. So no, there is no reason I see for an unblock, and that's before we get to the content which you kept inserting, which appears to be mostly unverified and trivial.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Well you can literally research the productions to verify them, for example, the Bradford production, you can find the review here: https://www.noda.org.uk/show-reports/Kipps and a link to the theatre here: https://www.bradford-theatres.co.uk/whats-on/Kipps-the-New-half-a-sixpence-musical verifying it actually took place. As for 'trivial', isn't that just what this website is all about? Trivial facts about certain subjects? Why should these premiere productions go unrecognised and acknowledged? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kipps20 (talk • contribs) 01:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

You seem to have a misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is an encylcopedia and as such is not an indiscriminate collection of information/trivia. Wikipedia should only include significant information about subjects. Tknifton (talk) 13:16, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Prahlad balaji. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Half a Sixpence (2016 musical), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 02:20, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Half a Sixpence (2016 musical), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You were already blocked for a day for edit warring. Don't violate 3RR again. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 02:30, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Would you prefer me to leave a link to the review and website link to the theatre it was performed at for proof? Kipps20 (talk) 02:36, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Kipps20, as long as it is a reliable source, then yes. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 16:01, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

According to the Wikipedia guideline, we don't include amateur performances. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Musical Theatre/Article Structure. "Only professional productions should be included in this section, following the conditions set in WP:NOTABILITY. Amateur productions will be deleted without discussion". Please respond to the complaint, and agree to stop making these changes. You may be indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:32, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
