My situation is this: I discovered that the page on Mozart the music processor - don't know who wrote it originally - was out of date by several years, and wrong in some respects. I was keen to correct that, and also keen NOT to have it sound like an advert. Yes, I am the author of the Mozart program: I can't help that, but it does mean I'm uniquely placed to correct out-of-date (now false) information. In order NOT to have it sound like an advert:
I am keen to comply with Wikipedia's policies, but am new at this and would be very grateful if you could give me specific advice on how to do this in this case. Dave Webber ( talk) 13:09, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello Dave, I think you misunderstand what it means to cite a claim in wikipedia. For example: When someone says the claim --"The name of the program reflects its author's love of the clarinet and a classical work for that instrument, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's clarinet concerto" -- needs a citation, it means you have to cite a source which says that the author of the software said that he decided to name his software so and so because of this and that reason; for example in an interview to a magazine, etc. This is necessary because wikipedia is a summary of information that already exists in the world, not a place to add new information. It is not enough that you know the information because you are the author of the software as well as of the wikipedia page. The information you put into the article has to be information that any interested wikipedia editor might have come across on their own, given enough time. I find it highly improbable that either of the sources you cited on the sentence in the example above, could have mentioned that in 1994, a person named Dave would develop a software and name it after the musical instrument and/or the concerto. As such I am removing those and restoring the citation needed tag. I'll be happy to answer any of your questions. If you disagree with my rationale, you can start a discussion on the talk page of the article. Regards, Usedtobecool ( talk) 17:59, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
