 * My edits were perfectly legitimate. I do subscribe to Rick Beat's YouTube channel, so I am familiar with his books. Since the Wikipedia page had a Bibliography, I did nothing but had his additional books to it. Then, someone (you?) decided to delete the entire Bibliography, and replace it with a short note in a difference section, referring, once again, to the single book. Not feeling this was either fair or useful to describing Rick's work, I attempting to reinsert the full Bibliography. Once again, the entire Bibliography was deleted. Is this some kind of power play? As for Carolina, the Parmalee song, I was noted that Rick had produced a #1 hit, which, again, seems like pertinent information for someone inquiring about Rick Parmalee.
 * Vandalism?
 * Look, I am simply trying to do my bit to be useful and add information to Wikipedia. Perhaps this is not what you want. Whatever. I have plenty of other ways to spend my time. Let me know... Dodger2 (talk) 23:15, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

 * The page in question was about a YouTuber named Rick Beato. I happened to know a bit about him and I saw a couple things that people taking the time to read about him would want to know. He has spent a lifetime in the music industry and is wrapping it up with a channel with 4 million subscribers. I don't have that. Do you? Among other things, he hosts/interviews dozens of very important musicians, which tons of people love. He analyzes music. Which tons of people love. And stuff. He produced a #1 hit. I haven't. Have you? Then I added a few citations to his books, because there was a bibliography with one book in it, and I knew of more, and they covered subjects that people visiting his page would probably like to know, just like the #1 hit. Adding content like that is vandalism, or is it the fact I tried to put the bibliography back in when it was deleted?
 * I took about 15, 20 minutes tonight to add a section on the critical reception of an old Dave Mason album. It had none. I dug up some reviews. I summarized them and provided citations. For whatever reason, that work was rejected/deleted in the middle of previewing it. Perhaps due to a block from someone like you. Now that would be vandalism.
 * I have been perfectly willing to spend a little time here and there over the years to fill a hole in wikipedia's content here and there. If it is going to be treated capriciously in a petty manner, then I will stop. Having spent a ifetime gaining and using influence in other organizations, including companies I've owned, I have absolutely no interest in spending even one second learning how to gain and wield influence necessary to deal with foolish conflicts like this.
 * Serioously. If perfectly worthy contributions made by people who actually take their personal time can be treated like I have here, wasting both your time and theirs, then wikipedia is clearly being undermined from within. It could undoubtedly be much more. I have made some useful content contributions. I have donated money. I may very well do neither in the future. Your choice.
