Hi,

I received a message that an edit to the Moody Blues page had been removed. I did not make the edit and thought you would want to know that. I have an account and log in before making edits. Also, I have never brought up the Moody Blues article on my browser. In addition, I don’t share an IP address. The address listed on the message I received was User talk:74.209.33.254:

Sasan Harun-Mahdavi

Dear Jeff, thanks in advance for helping me to edit on wikipedia. As you have correctly remarked I am Justine Harun-Mahdavi´s son. I must admit I found the page recently and have seen, that there are more information about my mom which are missing oh her page. So now I regestered myself to be able to add things to her wikipedia-text and to also create a site for my father who ist beside my mom the main person in her biography. So, if you think this is against the wiki-rules, how or who can I bring all the pictures and information about her and my father to be published in wikipedia, since according to their both life, these things could matter and be an additional input to wikipedia. My father has been former irannian politician and today one of the most experienced exile-polticians. He is still very active, has been author of books and many articles in several irannian and US-Irannian papers and he has had several interviews on VOA, DW and mai--Sasan Harun-Mahdavi (talk) 15:02, 30 May 2020 (UTC)nly exile-irannian TV-Channels. So I am of the opinion, that their history is important to be published on Wikipedia. How can I manage this? --Sasan Harun-Mahdavi (talk) 15:02, 30 May 2020 (UTC) Thanks, Sasan

@Sasan Harun-Mahdavi: Please read the information and follow the links posted to your user talk page. You may post on the relevant articles' talk pages, like you did here.   — Jeff G. ツ 15:08, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear Jeff, by the way to avoid missunderstandigs: this page has been published by somebody else. I just wnated to make it more relevant by adding pictures and documents. IT is not allowed to delete the page because of any violence of interests and things like that. I will now follow your hints. Thanks again. --Sasan Harun-Mahdavi (talk) 15:18, 30 May 2020 (UTC) Sasan

@Sasan Harun-Mahdavi: I PRODded those articles for the reasons specified in my posts at User talk:Sangak#footer.   — Jeff G. ツ 15:34, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
