Journalism is for journalists. Wikipedia articles are based on what has been published in reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 13:26, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
The Orlando Sentinel is a reliable source and the articles posted are about the man from seminole county florida 2603:9001:1E00:180E:7454:6752:F826:4AC4 (talk) 14:02, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia has guidelines on conflict of interest (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest) and on editors writing their own autobiographical articles (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autobiography). Both are worth reading.
In brief, users who are personally connected to a topic are expected to leave their biases "at the door", even if the article is about them personally, even if it has been vandalized, and even if it is very difficult to remain neutral. Fixing a problematic article is good; asking others to fix it is good too. Fixing it with bias, or in the sense of "I want my biography to read this way", can be a problem. Ultimately the article's content is a communal decision, not just one person's view.
In such circumstances it is important to read the guidelines above
carefully. If you want to do more than remove a clear and obvious breach of the content policies, then
ask others to help

Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. It is now even more important for you to cite reputable, published reliable sources for any changes you want made. —C.Fred (talk) 03:16, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
why are you redacting comments? Are you scared of the truth coming out? Everything posted is true and accurate. 2603:9001:1E00:180E:7454:6752:F826:4AC4 (talk) 21:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I am the author of this page. They redacted some of your comments and edits because they are not constructive and don't comply with the rules of Wikipedia. You've declared a conflict of interest about the subject, and therefore anything cited has to come from a reliable source, not your own words.
The subject shares a common name with others. Unless it can be proven that it is the same person, it cannot be included. Do you have a reliable source that significantly links the information you want to include? Please keep the comments constructive and only refer to what reliable sources include. –Filmforme (talk) 22:25, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
