Ok Kylietastic I understand the COI. The issue before us is that I need help navigating the inaccurate portions in the article while also maintaining wikipedia etiquette. I also am attempting to edit the article and add some enlightening and publicly beneficial information about Dennis Smith and his work. You're changing the article because of technicalities? Please Help a novice like myself fix the smaller issues instead of reverting back. I'm having a hard time understanding your motivation and how your revert helps people find information about Dennis Smith. I appreciate any help you can lend.

Big revert[edit]

I had to revert this article to an older version because as all the references and categories had been removed and poems had been added. Modern poems are covered by copyright so are not allowed on Wikipedia. --Racklever (talk) 01:49, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The poems and info added to Dennis Smith Sculptor was done by Dennis Smith himself. He put his own poems on the page and his own images. Please don't revert back to older versions. Msagallery 18:47, 29 March 2016‎

Hi Msagallery you appear to have a Conflict of interest you also have failed to read or attempt to address the issues raised by Racklever above, and by my edit summary here. Did you not wonder why your edits had been reverted 3 times by myself, Racklever and Flyer22 Reborn? Wikipedia articles are writen by editors normally indepedant of the subject and using reliable sources. You removed all the references, and have added none for your additions. You also removed categories, and added back invalid links to deleted images. Also like the images I would assume the poems are also copyrighted and not licened under a suitable licence. Please to not revert again, and I suggest you read some of our policies before editing this article again. As you appear to have a COI please read that policy; do not add unsourced material; do not add copyrighted material not licenced under a suitbale 'free' licence such as "CC BY-SA". I suggest you review Wikipedia:Five pillars to understand what Wikipeida is. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 18:17, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
