Based on your edit summaries, you have a conflict of interest in editing this page. Directly editing topics which you are closely involved with is strongly discouraged.

I reverted your edits but I opened a discussion on the talk page, Talk:I Dream (opera), asking neutral editors to review your changes and restore what should be restored.

It will help if you go to the talk page and add references to back up the edits you made. Examples of suitable sources for the claim that the work is a "musical drama" rather than an "opera" would be newspaper reviews, advertisements, and the like.

Another thing you can do is propose the changes on the article's talk page. If you do, please use the {{requested edit}} template so other editors know that an editor with a conflict of interest is requesting an edit. Using this template will flag the page for attention by other editors.

By they way, a plot summary or synopsis is okay, but as this is based on a real person's life that most of us are familiar with, the one-line summary at the beginning of your edit, "...set over the final 36 hours in the the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (link), with daydreams of his childhood and flashbacks to the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement..." says most of what needs to be said. If you do suggest a plot summary, 3 or 4 sentences should be more than enough.

Before you do anything though, please read the following Wikipedia policy and guideline pages: WP:Conflict of interest, WP:Paid editing disclosure, WP:Biographies of living persons, and WP:Copyright policy. Also at least skim the rest of the policies and guidelines, as well as WP:What Wikipedia is not.

Your input is valued, but we have rules on Wikipedia to help keep it from becoming an advertising venue. One of these rules is that if you are "close" to a subject, you should not edit it. Another is that if you receive any tangible benefit from editing, you must disclose it. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:51, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
