CO-HEADLINING: Please stop writing co-headlining because the tour is not a co-headline. she is his opening act! it says lionel richie with special GUEST. a guest is not a co-headliner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.70.6.150 (talk) 16:42, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Souirce needed for start date and set list edit

In this edit Kaish15 added the exact revised start date of the tour, and the set list. However no source was provided for either. This edit was reverted by IndianBio, re-inserted, and re-reverted with no discussion here.

As I wrote on the Help desk thread, You need a source for the exact date that the tour started (that should be easy to find, I am sure three was news coverage, and even the performer's web site would do). You also need a source for the set list: saying "just watch YouTube" is not good enough. A link to an actual YouTube video would be good enough, provided it is an official video posted by the performers or with their stated permission (say by their label). Wikipedia does not link to copyright violations, so a video posted by a fan without permission cannot be used as a source. It is up to [the poster] to provide a source when re-inserting such content, as stated in our policy on the responsibility for providing citations, which says: Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source.

That said, this should be fairly easy to source. I assume it was accurate, although i haven't checked. Although in accord with WP:BURDEN an editor may remove such unsourced content at once, when there is reason to think the content is accurate albeit unsourced, use of a {{cn}} tag, or even finding a source oneself, may be a better choice than reverting. In any case removing unsourced content is not one of the exemptions from the policy against Edit warring and repeated reversions by the same editor should not occur.
