I'm a technical editor by trade, and a musician and amateur historian by choice.

Currently, I'm would like to establish trust or 'credentials', if that's possible, within the Wikipedia community so that I can continue to have rights to edit the article for The Brotherhood of Eternal Love (at least).

I'm the administrator of a Facebook group (The Church of the Sleeping Angel) for the surviving members of The Brotherhood, and regularly participate in and moderate discussions among them. In early January of 2012, some of the founding members of The Brotherhood expressed their dismay at inaccuracies and misstatements in the Wikipedia article. I volunteered to correct it for them, and rewrote it per information gleaned from several published sources, particularly Orange Sunshine, Nick Schou (St. Martin's Press, 2010), Schou's earlier series of articles in the OC Weekly, Tendler and May's, The Brotherhood of Eternal Love, and other publications, as well as conversations with surviving members of the Brotherhood. I have been intending to add references to the text to indicate sources, but I'm new to Wiki editing, and have simply not figured out how to do so yet. It was not clear to me that the lack of refs was objectional, as long as the material itself is factual and neutral... so I've been tending just to the content for now.

These founding members reviewed the revised entry and approved it, after suggesting some minor corrections. Since then other interested parties have 'reverted' the article back to an earlier state, or (on 26 Jan 2012) replaced it entirely with material that's only marginally factual, and then locked the page for several days.

Please help me sort out how to retain the rights to edit this article so that it can be, and remain, factual.
