Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page JavaScript has been reverted. Your edit here to JavaScript was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvv4Q8GB3MtshCWSj0ucTnCjj3Tz5Zxw3, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtLyQaC29PV7GwyYdKsTSQuGL4mCW1GHt) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:58, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Your Conspiracy Theory
There's a few little problems with your conspiracy theory.

1) You're mixing up several different people. That's apparently including the late, great, Robert Anton Wilson (at least according to a report by a member of Wilson's family--I can't personally confirm that).

2) I started writing professionally before Wikipedia began. I've written thousands of professionally published pieces. (That's not unusual for an employed journalist.) With all of that, I've only had to write a correction for a professionally published factual error that was my fault one (1) time. (Note that I'm not including spelling and grammatical errors, or factual errors that came from another source.) I've also written professionally for universities--with no reported factual errors. So unless you can provide me with evidence that I "remove contributions from more academic sources," I'd suggest you reconsider.

3) Please show me where in Wikipedia policy the edit by another editor that you pointed out was vandalism. If you check the history as I did, you might find it actually restored a section that had once been removed by someone accused of vandalism.

4) I fairly recently got a book professionally published. And here's what's happened in just the last week and a half: One of my stories appeared in a fantasy-science fiction collection. I had a freelance article professionally published. And I had a 3,000+ word article published in an Origins Award-winning magazine. The articles received comments and even promotion from some of the top people in their industries. (Don't believe me? Check here.) So why would I push to get an out-of-print book, with which I was only one of many contributors, publicized here instead of my current work that I'm trying to make money on?

5) You seem to have a history of problems here. You might want to read Wikipedia policy before making more unverified accusations.
