Hello, I'm Twitbookspacetube. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Arthur Ashe Courage Award without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Kankakee, Illinois, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 21:14, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What sources do I need? I live in Kankakee and am a member of two of the groups. TylerMc86 (talk) 21:25, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you are claiming that somehow Kankakee is some sort of theatre mecca (in which case you'd need newspaper or magazine articles about community theatre in Kankakee that discuss each group by name and originate from well outside of the extended metropolitan area of Chicago), no amount of sourcing will make this content encyclopedic. Community theatre groups, almost by definition, are of interest only in the community. A mention that there are community theatre groups is entirely appropriate and already exists in the article. The details are not appropriate. We are by policy not a directory. John from Idegon (talk) 21:50, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No it did not mention 4 groups. It mentioned one specific group, and without anyou sources I might add. I don't see why the newspaper articles have to be from outside the Chicagoland area. I see plenty on the page that is only known locally. I see that on plenty of places. If all the groups have Web pages that's should be source enough that they are located in Kankakee. It should either list them all or a generic "home of 4 Community theatres." Maybe it doesn't mean anything to someone in New York or L.A. but it means something to people here to take pride in out Wikipedia page to list our town'so positive aspects.

That is not the purpose of this article. It is in no way for the community. It is an independent encyclopedia article about the community. What someone from the community wants in the article is only important from the standpoint of the source and policy based arguements they can make for it. You've admitted your purpose is not to build an encyclopedia but to boost community pride. Get a website. That is not what this is. John from Idegon (talk) 01:20, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was not to boost pride. It was you correct the article only listing one theatre. So please tell me why you haven't erased the other parts that only pertain to our community?

So you seriously had to erase all the other info from the culture section?

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Kankakee, Illinois. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a blockage. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 17:52, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK how do I stop the person who changed it. I listed that there are 3 theatres in the town and the Editor John from Idegon thinks it is not relevant info in his opinion for he erased the entire section it was in.
