The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Updates to Mind Over Four

Why were my edits removed? I updated the information about a band that I co-founded. I wanted a hyperlink for Micheal Fordays, and to correct the spelling,(it is not MichAEl, rather MichEAl) and to correct and update the fact that my solo work is not past tense but in a current mode. (…released solo work, rather releases solo work.) Otherwise the info is incorrect

Also I added the references to the Jeff Wagner book and Podcast because these important references for fans of Mind Over Four.

None of my updates were fraudulent or negative in anyway. Why would they be removed? Do I not have a say about how my past projects or creative endeavors are portrayed? 2600:6C50:77F:FB3C:BCE7:E7F8:EBEF:C118 (talk) 16:46, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

It often comes as a surprise to new editors that while Wikipedia encourages almost anyone to edit almost any article, one important exception is when an editor is to close to the article (such as a cofounder) and has a conflict of interest. One of the important pillars of Wikipedia is that the articles are edited by people independent of the subject. We fully recognize that you have special knowledge not available to everyone, but when someone has a conflict of interest, we prefer that you add a note to the talk page indicating what changes should be made, such as the corrected spelling, and let an independent editor make the change.

My edit undoing your edit was done because the material you added appeared to come from this site, which I believe the subject for copyright. If you happen to be the owner of that site, we can walk through next steps, but it is not automatic that you can add information to an article which appears in a copyrighted site.
