Hey. Are you in a class that requires you to edit Wikipedia? If so, please disclose any such or similar program.

On the matter of content and why I reverted your work, that's because it broke citations and changed details in a way that contradicted the inline citation. For the former, use the preview feature to check if you've accidentally broken anything (especially with big red warning messages) before hitting publish. And for the material, everything you add must be supported by references! You changed her birthplace to Fort Wayne, Indiana, but the inline source linked immediately after that sentence (in the little currently labeled number 5 in the article) mentions that she was born in South Bend. I would have attempted to verify everything else you added, but those citations were broken and didn't link anywhere. Named citations need to be defined (see the source of this message for an example, starting with ) before the citation can be reused in a different spot (like this:   produces ) If you were trying to reuse existing citations, use the same name as the full citation that defines the named reference. See Help:Footnotes for more instructions.
