hello - this artist has asked me to correct numerous inaccuracies in his Wiki page. Because I know him I am not alloweed to edit. It is all wrong and needs badly to be corrected. Please contact me asap[, or remove the page. It is so inaccurate and misrepresents the artist and his work! For correct info you can refer to his website oliverleejackson.com. I don't know how this happened but it needs to be fixed. Redmagnolia (talk) 03:21, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I can send corrected info - Why do people who are not accurately informed oversee certain pages? Where did your information come from? Several of your cited sources also got it wrong...and should not be used as a basis for edits. Redmagnolia (talk) 03:38, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
This page has a RS citation re: this career at the CSUS;[1][2] as well as multiple other citations supporting his career as an educator (as well as an artist). If you have a WP:COI like you have already declared, you need to refrain from editing on that subject. If the subject is upset about what was written about him in citations - why wouldn't he be contacting the publishers? PigeonChickenFish (talk) 23:47, 10 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
