Help me!
Please help me with... Hello, I am Ronald L. Simons, a Distinguished Research Professor and Regents' Professor at the University of Georgia. I noticed yesterday that the Wikipedia page describing me and my work was inaccurate in many places. So, I spent a couple of hours cleaning it up. I deleted the old material. I noticed a few minutes ago that all of the changes that I had made were gone and the old material restored. It seems like I am a pretty good source for information about myself. Can you explain what happened here? Thanks much. -Ron 198.137.20.236 (talk) 19:10, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * A Wikipedia article(not a mere "page") is meant to summarize what independent reliable sources say about a person, not what they say about themselves. In addition, making autobiographical edits is strongly discouraged per the autobiography policy. However, there is a strict Biographies of Living Persons policy regarding biographical articles. If there is incorrect information about you in the article about you, we want to know what it is. Unless the information is grossly defamatory(like, as an example, posting that you are a criminal when you are not), you should not edit the article about you directly. Instead, you should make a formal edit request on the article talk page, detailing the nature of the errors and, if you are updating, any independent reliable sources you have to support the changes. 331dot (talk) 19:39, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
