Hello. It is unclear whether you are aware of the note above, the comments in successive edit summaries, or the policies and guidelines which they are attempting to highlight, but it is worth noting that Wikipedia:

is not a free webhost for use by a business/organisation/event. To promote itself or to act as an offshoot of the "about" page on its own website.
is intended to be impartial in tone and not the place for uncited and unattributed opinions about what those associated with an event feel was the "highlight of the 2012 festival" or to make subjective statements on the "success of its inaugural year" or to state (without sources or otherwise) that something is "fast becoming a special Summer Musical Event".
should be supported by references, whether to attribute opinions and subjective statements like the above, or to source a table of "headline events" or similar.
is intended to be edited with consideration to both policies on the basis of consensus. Continuing to ignore inputs from other editors is not in keeping with that goal.
has policies on conflicts of interest, and expects editors with an interest in a subject to avoid editing about that subject and/or to consider declaring any potential interests.

Continuing to edit, in a way which is not in keeping with these goals, may result in an impact to editing rights. Cheers. Guliolopez (talk) 10:40, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Again. This is a final advisory that edits should not be promotional (and adding wording about "pre-opera dinner and drinks in the gardens" falls into that category). And a final reminder that editors with a potential conflict of interest should avoid editing articles on subjects with which they have an association. Continuing to persist with edits which are problematic relative to these guidelines (or, indeed, with the ICANTHEARYOU guidelines) may result in a loss of editing rights. Cheers.
