Hello JJLEN10,
I am sorry that I have felt it was necessary revert your addition to Karel Čapek. Your edits had no source. Even if what you wrote is true, verifiability is necessary. If you have a reliable source, please provide it. It is then a simple matter of reverting my edit to put your text back in. The links in the 'Welcome' I have left above should help. Regards --220.101.28.25 (talk) 17:15, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Actually looking again, the performance of a play at a school is not notable enough for inclusion. Remember Wikipaedia is an Encyclopaedia! I also see that you were making test edits in the article. This is not something you want to do. Use the 'sandbox' for this. You can also use the "Show preview" buttton to see any edit before you use the "Save page" button.
Don't be disheartened by this, there are always rules to be followed! There are many tasks that need doing on Wikipaedia. You were obviously trying to do something constructive! Unfortunately many only come here, we call them vandals, to cause trouble. I hope you like it here! Best wishes, --220.101.28.25 (talk) 17:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Karel Čapek. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Seriously - do not add unreferenced informations on a non-notable high school performance of a Čapek's play of minor importance, as you recently repeatedly did. And yes, use edit summary for description of changes you do, please. Thank you--ja_62 21:51, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply


  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Karel Čapek. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. --220.101.28.25 (talk) 13:35, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

  JJLEN10, I am appealing to you to re-think what you are adding to Karel Čapek. You can NOT just add anything that you think is suitable. You need to have references from reliable sources, you have provided none. What you add must be notable, Čapek is notable, his writings are notable, but a performance at some unknown school is not notable, at least you have given no evidence of notability. It is therefore not suitable for inclusion in an Encyclopaedia.
By re-adding it constantly you have broken a fundamental policy here in less than 2 days! The type of behaviour you are displaying is tending towards vandalism and if you continue you may be blocked temporarily, or even banned from editing Wikipaedia. I have no power to do so but, unfortunately, I will have to make a report to the appropriate administrator noticeboard, Administrators noticeboard-Edit warring --220.101.28.25 (talk) 14:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Be advised I have asked that the Karel Čapek page be protected at Requests for page protection. --220.101.28.25 (talk) 16:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Karel Čapek. 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 would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
