Hi Kent tate. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Dealing with articles about yourself and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Summary deletion, creation prevention, and courtesy blanking for reference since they explains what options living persons have when they have concerns about what's written about them on Wikipedia. All Wikipedia editors are volunteers, but there are many who work quite hard to try and help people who have issues with content written about them on Wikipedia and ensure that such content is written in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
Please also understand that while discussing this you may be asked to somehow verify that you are indeed who you're claiming to be for the reasons given in Wikipedia:Username policy#Real names. This may be necessary as a precaution against any possible damaging impersonation, i.e. someone is pretending to be you. You don't need to do that yet, but just be advised that you might be asked some time in the future as a precaution. Not sure if it needs to be said, but if by chance you're not who your claiming to be, then you should stop what you're doing asap and request a username change for this account before it ends up being blocked as a precaution.
Please also understand that anything you post on Wikipedia can pretty much be seen by anyone anywhere in the world who can access the Internet. So, please carefully read Wikipedia:Wikipedia is in the real world and Wikipedia:Harassment#Posting of personal information and take care about what type of and how much personal information you post about yourself or other persons anywhere on Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:32, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi again Kent tate. This might seem to contradict what I mentioned about about signing you're posts, but it's not always necessary to resign your post if all you're doing is going back to make some minor corrections or clarifications. As long as you follow WP:REDACT, you should be OK. So, if you want to correct a typo in a previous post you made relatively shortly after you made it, then you can just correct the typo and leave the post signed as is. You only need to start worry about whether a new signature is needed when (1) the post has already been replied to and you're changing something that basically changes the meaning/context of the post or (2) you want to go back and and a notification to the post.
In the first case, someone has responded to the post so any change or clarification other than a simple typo correction (which doesn't affect the means in anyway) should probably be made in a new post or struckthrough/underlined in the original post as explained in REDACT. In this case, you can leave your original signature as is and just as a clarification either in the form of an edit summary or as a addendum after your original signature.
In the second case, notification templates added after the fact to previously signed posts will not work and require a new signature be added instead. In this case, you can simply replace your older signature with a new. (i.e. delete the old signature and added the four tildes as if you were signing a new post). As long as you explain this in your edit summary you should be fine.
For all intents and purpose, you can pretty much go back and edit (even remove) any post you make on a talk page (excluding your user talk page, please see WP:BLANKING for details on that) as long as nobody has responded and as long as lots of time hasn't passed since you made the original post. The meaning of "lots of time" probably depends upon who you ask, but with a 24-our period in probably OK; anything longer than that and you should probably clarify in a separate post or strikethrough/underline in the original post. One other important thing to remember is WP:TPO. You should try to avoid editing a post made by another editor, particularly if your edit somehow changes the intent of their post. Even doing this by accident can quickly create problems among editors; so, it's a good idea to try and double check things to make sure since it's easy to do if you're not carefully. There are certain specific cases when it might be OK to fix the formatting of another person's post or even remove content that shouldn't have been posted as is a serious policy or guideline violation, but these are not the norm and it usually takes a bit of experience to know when this is OK to do. So, if you notice a misspelling or grammar error anything else in another editor's post that makes it hard to understand, it's better just to ask for clarification in a new post than to try and "correct" the other editor's post yourself. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:26, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, the usual way on enwiki to withdraw a comment on pages with "signatures" (the four tildes) after another contributor replied is to replace the comment by <s>comment</s> followed by "(withdrawn ~~~~)" or "(updated ~~~~)" or similar to get a signature with a fresh timestamp showing that the same contributor did this.
On the AFD page you simply removed your comment leaving a now apparently out-of-context reply by another
user. The whole system of signed comments is obsolete, a better solution exists for years, but the various WikiMedia communities don't tolerate changes invented by the WikiMedia Foundation. Suggested fix, undo your removal, and strike the withdrawn comment, roughly <s>comment</s> (withdrawn ~~~~) is rendered as comment (withdrawn signature). –

I know it must be hard to watch, but it's apart from you so you should just not read it or participate. We can't seriously take into account the wishes of the article subject or their family as it makes us less neutral. Also please be aware AfD discussions last forever: they are archived and can be found on Wikipedia. If the article is kept they are linked from its talk page.

I am seeking some help regarding the article /info/en/?search=Kent_Tate
There are a couple of things that are not accurate on the article and there have not been updates since 2019. I have been very active since 2019 with many screenings internationally and a book has been published about my films in December 2022. https://www.cfmdc.org/product-page/kent-tate-selected-films-2010-to-2022
Any help I can get regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Kent Tate Kent tate ( talk) 07:18, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
