Hello. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with other editors at New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. I've protected the page from editing temporarily; you need to discuss your proposed changes and try to reach consensus on the article talk page, rather than trying to force your preferred version into place. That won't work, and if you resume edit-warring instead of discussing the matter on the talk page, you'll likely be blocked from editing Wikipedia temporarily.
