Hello, I'm
Johnnie Bob. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Angela Rye, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at
referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.
I see where you have tried to include a reference for one of your changes, but apparently didn't quite know how to do it so you partially reverted your own change. Other material, such as her no longer being on the CNN staff, remain unsourced. When dealing with biographies of living persons, every edit needs to be supported by a WP:RELIABLE WP:SOURCE. Please try your edits again with the proper sourcing. — Johnnie Bob ( talk) 21:57, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate
external links to Wikipedia, as you did to
Angela Rye.
Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See
the external links guideline and
spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the
nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.

Hi Johnnie Bob-- I have not provided links to any personal sites, and to the contrary am trying to edit the Angela Rye page for her links to personal sites. Apologies as I thought links/references were required for adding new information to a wiki

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page
Angela Rye has been reverted.
Your edit
here to
Angela Rye was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our
external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMliuChIyEE) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's
copyright policy, as well as other parts of our
external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our
upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an
external link that does comply with our
policies and
guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to
undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's
external links guideline for more information, and consult my
list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see
my FAQ page. Thanks! --

Hello-- I am. not vandalizing any page, I am trying to restore verified edits that are being vandalized through deletion. It is my edits that were approved over a week ago that are being vandalized. I am only trying to restore previous versions with citations that include several news articles. There is another account attempting to remove all of this information for a publicist-friendly version of this living biography. I would like to go into arbitration about this. I am not the vandal, another account is vandalizing my edits. It is not the bot making editorial edits, there arer whole paragraphs of verified information being removed deliberately by a human.

hi @tobefree I don't see any messages requiring my response to which I have not responded. Please let me know where I have ignored or missed Talk messages requesting my reply Blindsocialist ( talk) 15:55, 22 August 2021 (UTC)blindsocialist
Please stop and familiarize yourself with policy, as above. You have already been blocked for the same sort of edits on Rye's bio. Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 04:17, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
everything I have said has been backed with sources. Rye's page originally cited her father's career in her early life section and yet when I edited that her father's career also included a $163,000 embezzlement scandal I was told that her father's career was not relevant to hers. Again, her farther's career was originally cited on her article and it is customary for personal/early like sections to note newsworthy events of the subject's family members. For example, /info/en/?search=Steven_Stayner Steven Stayner's "birth and family" section includes a reference and link to his brother, Cary, who was a serial killer in an otherwise completely unrelated series of events. With Rye, her father's career is relevant because she frequently features and promotes her father across her public content.
I have further corrected incorrect information. the "early life" section referred to Rye as being raised Catholic. Her father is a baptist minister in the Church of God in Christ, an evangelical protestant denomination.
Why is my accurate updating being censored on this article? -- BlindSocialist
Thanks for explaining why you removed that she was raised Catholic, which was not clear to me at first. I checked the cited sources and indeed they do not support that, so I have taken that out.
