Test
Hello, I'm Canterbury Tail. An edit that you recently made seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!Canterbury Tail talk 12:41, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Canterbury Tail. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! Canterbury Tail talk 12:46, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Stop changing the name of a person without providing a reference. The reference clearly states he was born with III in his name, not II. If you continue to change this without providing an updated reference you will be blocked from editing. Canterbury Tail talk 12:48, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Changes made
I am part of Vast Aire's management team and fixing innacuacy per advisement of Vast Aire himself. Fixing the innacuacy of his name and birth place. Also innacuare content that was removed, it is slander. He is on Facebook as Vishnu Allah (vastaire Vishnu Allah). To verify this is legitimate he can be contacted airevast1@gmail. Also you can look at Any of his published music and see that his name is spelled wrong. Any questions please contact either one of us with further issues. This is his page and should be able to change to make sure it's accurate. Thanks for your help. Lindscrafters (talk) 12:59, 23 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay there are a couple of things going on here. If you have a connection to the subject you need to read and abide by WP:COI and it's generally frowned upon to edit articles of a person or subject you have a close connection to, but not prohibited. Secondly everything in an article is based on WP:Verifiability, not truth. Everything needs to be supported by a WP:Reliable reference and if a reference is considered reliable, even if someone thinks the material is wrong, it will stand unless a reliable verifiable source can be provided otherwise. Contacting you via email is not an acceptable way of getting information, Wikipedia cannot reference itself and trying to find our own information violates Wp:Original research so we must rely on other third party sources for this information.
 * With regards to the name, if you can provide a source with the correct name we can update it, but until then we need to leave it as it is referenced. I know this seems strange, but this is the way Wikipedia functions. Any questions, let me know. Canterbury Tail talk 13:08, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Changes
Ok I understand. His name is clear on all of his albums both group and solo, over 11 of them. I know you have guidelines and have to follow the rules. So with this said how does he go about taking down the page? Some guidance would be greatly appreciated. Lindscrafters (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Removing a page is generally not an option unless the subject is not notable. If a person is notable and in the public consciousness they will generally have an article and though someone may not like it, it is unfortunately not theirs to remove anymore than someone can stop a newspaper or station reporting on something. If there are issues with the article then we can work to fix them, though I must say I know nothing of the subject here. I would suggest you start by posting on the talk page for the article any changes you're interested in making along with references. If you can prove something is false then it can be removed, however we can't remove something just because it isn't liked. <b style="color: Blue;">Canterbury Tail</b> <i style="color: Blue;">talk</i> 13:37, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Further info for you
I watch the Vast Aire article, and CT made the changes I would have had I seen them first. Here are a few more links to explain a few more processes, as if you can prove any of the material on the page is false, it will certainly be taken down. Biographies of Living Persons (BLPs) are treated very seriously and we do our best to ensure all sources are genuine and reliable, but we are volunteers doing this solely out of passion or interest. A few areas that may be of interest to you, aside from the already-linked COI (conflict of interest) info above, are: It is also important that you try to resolve these issues through the above avenues or on the article's talk page before you make another edit to the main article space as you have COI and financial relationship with the subject of the article, and thus you may appear to editing in a non-neutral (also phrased NNPOV, non-neutral point-of-view) way which can lead to your account being blocked. Another handy acronym you might see in these or related discussions is SPA, single purpose account. I hope you take the time to read the above info and find ways to come to a mutually agreeable solution, as well as valid references to make the appropriate changes. As Canterbury said, deleting the page is not really an option. JesseRafe (talk) 16:21, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
