Hello, Kwolberg, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Manfred Gerstenfeld, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Hello, I'm
Lard Almighty. I wanted to let you know that one or more of
your recent contributions to
Manfred Gerstenfeld have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the
help desk. Thanks.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
Manfred Gerstenfeld, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been
reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the
sandbox for that. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Manfred Gerstenfeld shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being
blocked from editing—especially if you violate the
three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three
reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

What do you mean we? And why does "not being added by us" have to do with anything. I'd remind you about WP:OWN, but the issues seem to transcend that.-- Deep fried okra 19:59, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
I removed a section which was added by someone who does not have permission to change this page and entered inappropriate content. Oh, really? Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit. Wikipedia. And the subjects of articles and their representatives do not get to dictate content. Having said that, let me point you to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help, as it has information you will find helpful in attempting to edit Wikipedia. Please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID, as it seems evident they apply.-- Deep fried okra 20:03, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
