Happy editing! – S. Rich ( talk) 15:06, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
Transcendental. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on
Stephen D. Cox, but you didn't support your changes with a
citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning
how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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!

Hello, Editormorrisonhimself. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on the page
Stephen D. Cox, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Zinnober9 ( talk) 23:00, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
You keep making the same changes to the Stephen D. Cox, and don't seem to be paying attention to the reasons they are being reverted by others. There are two main problems with the changes you are making:
It is not sufficient that you claim to personally know subject of the article, or even if you claim the subject asked you to make the changes. The other editors on Wikipedia have no proof of either of those claims. You could literally be anyone in the world with any agenda or motivation. That is why we require sources to verify content instead of just taking people's word for the content they insert. And it is important for you to know that repeatedly making the same changes to the article when several other editors are objecting and reversing your edits is known as " edit warring", an unacceptable practice that could lead to your Wikipedia account being blocked from making further edits. I encourage you to step back from that and engage in more discussion of the changes you want, preferably after reading some of the links I've provided to our guidelines for what is generally accepted behavior on Wikipedia.
