Hello, I'm Discospinster. I noticed that in this edit to Josh Klinghoffer, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ... discospinster talk 20:23, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
Please do not remove reliably-sourced information, even at the request of the subject (see WP:OWN). ... discospinster talk 20:28, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Why not? I AM the subject. I can't edit something out? Marble Argument (talk) 20:31, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- If the article is indeed about you, you are still subject to the same rules and policies about editing it. Moreover, WP:AUTOBIO states that "Editing a biography about yourself is acceptable only if you are removing unambiguous vandalism or clear-cut and serious violations of our biography of living persons policy." The content is not vandalism, and not a violation of the living persons policy since it comes with a reliable source. If it is inaccurate you may correct it, but that would also have to be accompanied by a reliable source. ... discospinster talk 20:36, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- A reliable source??? Where is the incorrect information I removed's reliable source? It claimed I was a certain religion. I am half that and half another. According to the traditions of the one I removed from the article, I am not a part of that religion because my mother isn't a part of it. I personally despise absolutely everything to do with religion and think it should be abolished from earth. I know I can't do that, so I'll settle for the next best thing and abolish it from my Wikipedia page. Please leave it alone. Thank you kindly. Marble Argument (talk) 20:46, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
