Hello! Black Yodel No.1,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the
Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the

Please tell me what copyrighted information you are referring to?
Matt Galligan cut the "Mike Johnson Country Music's No.1 Black Yodeler" biography from one of my old sites and pasted it on his! I own Roughshod Records and Joe Arnold is the label manager. If you look at the bottom of the article you will see my copyright notification.

Hello Mike, I'm on vacation so don't want to leave you hanging, so here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to publish your article as-is, but then immediately cut it down to a short stub which will be *completely* in-line with Wikipedia requirements, but will involve cutting out most of the current info. That info is not lost forever, it is fully visible by clicking the "History" tab at the top of the page, and I'll leave a note on the Talk page explaining that there's a lot of former content that didn't make the cut, but can be useful for further study.
I wanted to have a longer reply to your questions, but need to finish packing and catch a train later today, so all I can say at the moment is that I've been doing Wikipedia for 7 years, so I do have good reasons. If you would like a clearer response (which is totally understandable), I'd recommend you copy your question and paste it at WP:Teahouse, where there are a bunch of volunteer mentors who will be happy to chat with you at more length, and some of whom might be interested in improving the article.
I do apologize that I ran into a busy time for me so can't make this a big project, but as promised I'm making sure I get at least the basic stub article up there. Please do not try to expand it yourself, since it's simply impossible to write neutrally about yourself (see our guideline WP:Autobiography for explanation), but do feel welcome to upload a photo for it, so long as you totally understand and agree that uploading a photo entails releasing the copyright under WP:Creative Commons. See WP:Uploading images for more guidance.
Sorry for my rush, but this at least gets your page up and running. And please do feel free to talk to the Teahouse folks, very friendly and helpful people whose whole goal is helping others use Wikipedia. I might be back in the Washington DC area later this year or early next, so if I do and you like I can ping you then on your website, and buy you a whiskey or a root beer, as you prefer, to say hello.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hello Mike, I see you have some concerns about the article. First off, I want to note that this is exactly why we always tell people don't try to write your own article on Wikipedia. I was willing to write one for you because I think you're an interesting subject, but you really need to stop trying to work on your own article. It is absolutely impossible for you to be objective about your own work, and also you keep trying to make edits which are not properly sourced. To answer a few points:
At this point, you really need to just accept that you have a biography on Wikipedia, and it's sourced to published works, and be (moderately) happy with that. Wikipedia is absolutely not here for you to "get the rest of the story out", or "build your brand" or whatnot, we're just here to compile and organize information that has already been published by neutral experts. So please refrain from trying to edit your own article, it always ends badly and wastes time for everyone involved to have to change things back and forth, and just trust the Wikipedia community to do our best to keep things running smoothly.

Hello, I'm
JJMC89. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of
your recent contributions —the one you made with
this edit to
Mike Johnson (yodeler)— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks. —

Why are you reverting back to the incorrect information? I already told everyone to cease and delete everything. According to Matthew, Wikipedia isn't interested in accurate information, only citable sources. So DELETE everything! I viewed a dozen different wikipedia articles on other country music artists and I don't see where my original draft was any different their coverage. Yet mine gets stripped down to next to nothing. DELETE EVERYTHING! I've been performing music since the mid-1960s and producing it since 1981. I have an international following and I can't allow you to continue this blatant attempt to minimize me and my music.
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mike Johnson (yodeler) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Johnson (yodeler) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fiddle Faddle 22:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
I don't see any threats. The passages that Matthew used from Bart Plantenga's book are incorrect! The best way to resolve this is to DELETE everything. I'm not that desperate to be on wikipedia! DELETE EVERYTHING!
Please do not
attack other editors, as you did at
User_talk:MatthewVanitas#DELETE.21_DELETE.21_DELETE.21. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please
stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

In the discussion you have been advised to visit Wikipedia:Contact us - Subjects to handle the circumstance where anything in the article is something you believe to be incorrect or libellous. This is your place of recourse.
The article on you is to be kept. This is a formal decision. While it can be overturned this is only for technical reasons.
I know this is not the news you hoped to hear, and commend Wikipedia:Contact us - Subjects to you. Fiddle Faddle 08:29, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
You need to quit flip-flopping as to where you want a response. Your site is very difficulty to navigate and it takes me sometime to find the right place to do so, so I will just answer anyplace.
Since you insist on keeping this hack job I will be seeking legal counsel and forward your headquarters a notice of intent to file suit. Mike Johnson
