I reverted your edits because you had deleted the infobox and broken a reference. Plus, it was not clear if the photo you added was in fact your "own work" or something you found via an internet search and copy/pasted to the article. If your own photograph, consider adding it elsewhere in the article. If not, adding it would be a copyright infringement. David notMD (talk) 09:51, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The new photo is appropriately tagged. I merged the new edits and kept the old ones. Viriditas (talk) 09:53, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Your edit preserved the Infobox and ref while restoring the Ching-and-painting photo that Hau'oli added. However, I would like to have Hau'oli confirm here at Talk that she was the photographer. Her Edit summary was "An image of Patrick Ching, authorized by Patrick Ching." David notMD (talk) 09:58, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * That’s an unusual and unnecessary request. A reverse image search shows the image is unique to the original uploader and is appropriately tagged. Viriditas (talk) 10:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)


 * On second thought, I have the same question. I was unaware this image was taken from Ching’s website.  We need an answer to your original question. Joy, does this image belong to you or did Ching release it for use on Wikipedia? Viriditas (talk) 10:15, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Veriditas,

Thank you for writing. I'm obviously new to this amazing website and platform. I was trying to edit the image and thought I did a good job, but accidentally deleted information. This is user friendly for people who are used to editing here. I decided to leave the image and planned to add content tomorrow.

I work directly with Patrick Ching. Patrick Ching authorized me to upload this photograph as a replacement.

I apologize for accidentally deleting things.

Thank you, Joy

P.s. I have Patrick's original email stating the above is in fact true. If you need to contact Patrick, his number is on his website, under HIRE button on the Home page.

Thanks for reverting the original info box.

Let me know what to do next and perhaps you can help me add the content that Patrick wants placed. Mahalo. Joy Hau&#39;oli (talk) 10:52, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

 * is 'pinged' by this. V removed the new image until this is cleared up. I removed email address and phone number. A new issue: You clearly have a conflict of interest here, and possibly paid (see WP:COI and WP:PAID. Either way, you are prohibited from directly editing the article. For all other content you want to add, you propose that on the Talk page of the article and then request a non-involved editor to do it or deny it. David notMD (talk) 16:45, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Joy Hau&#39;oli (talk) 17:25, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Given the article is about Patrick, he is also restricted to proposing changes on the Talk page. See WP:BLP for more information on the requirement for verifying references to biographies of living people. David notMD (talk) 18:07, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

There are exceptions to the no-direct-editing guideline. Currently, refs 1 and 2 do not connect to content about PC. This requires finding the URL that connects to the articles. Ref #4 does not work. Find or replace. David notMD (talk) 18:13, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * can I go back and restore the changes from my last edit now? I’m a non-involved editor who thinks the changes Joy proposed are acceptable.  I can also help out with the sources you mentioned. Viriditas (talk) 22:56, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
