Hello, I'm Yoshi24517. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Steve Miller (musician), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Very Busy ) 19:33, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Well so far, the page seems to amplify the Black keys Whining about THEIR Experience with Miller but not WHY Miller responded the way he did.
 * I tried to put the information UNDER MY OWN NAME since I read no less than 20 articles all saying the same thing, so there would be no 'Copyright issues', but apparently even THAT got rejected.
 * Now, Has Wikipedia now taken the stance that it can only be Official Publications "under a suitable free license" and not a knowledgeable civilian? His Quotes ARE Public Record regardless of which copyrighted article repeats them, Therefore, they should be allowed. Cyclonecomputer (talk) 16:16, 10 August 2023 (UTC)cyclonecomputer
 * I have no opinion on the substance of the dispute between Miller and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but you copied a fair bit of non-quote text directly from the New York Times article, which was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. — SamX &#91;talk · contribs&#93; 16:20, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Understood. My next attempt will use of public record quotes, verified by seeing the same quotes from a multiple sources...
 * That IS, if A 'civilian' like myself is allowed to submit text at all.
 * Am I, and if so, do I credit myself? and Will the BOT remove it as "sabotage?" Cyclonecomputer (talk) 18:39, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Cyclonecomputer
 * Anyone can edit Wikipedia, so you're free to add content provided that it complies with policies and guidelines. There's no need to credit yourself when you add text to an article, as that's already done in the page's history. It is acceptable to quote statements from public figures, although they should generally be used sparingly, and quotes from secondary sources such as The New York Times&mdash;that is, the article text itself, not the quotes contained therein&mdash;generally aren't appropriate.ClueBot NG uses machine learning to identify possibly non-constructive edits. False positives are uncommon but not unheard of, and can be reported here. — SamX &#91;talk · contribs&#93; 22:06, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
