Welcome!
Hello 154.27.122.132. I would like to wish you a belated welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

I've reverted the edits you made to the article on Barry Katz on August 3, 2020. While the information you added may be true, information added to Wikipedia should be cited from reliable, published, independent sources. The citing of Self-published and user-generated content (AMAs, biographies on personal websites, etc.) is to be avoided, especially in the case of biographies of living persons and when the information involves claims about third parties. When citing sources it is also important to reflect what those sources actually support; for example the following paragraph that you added that read: "After Katz successfully brought 18 of his clients to the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, in 1995, where he created the New Faces brand, 5 of his artists where signed to TV deals, and he landed a four-year development deal to package shows for Disney/Touchstone Television, where he went on to executive produce 8 comedy pilots," is not supported by the article that was cited at the end of that paragraph. All the cited articles states is that he was at the festival. Similarly the paragraph that read "In 1997, Katz and Jeff Ross brought the Friar’s Club together with Comedy Central to launch The Comedy Central Roasts, which have since become the the networks' biggest franchise in their history. Additionally, that same year Katz, Neal Brennan (who was the former doorman at the Boston Comedy Club when he was a teenager), and Chappelle sold the cult movie "Half Baked" to Universal," was not supported by this cited article either.

If you are able to find support for your edits from reliable and independent sources, then feel free to re-add the information to the article. Please also refrain from removing information from an article that already has cited sources without offering an explanation.
