I'm sorry, but wikipedia is anonymous. as such, fellow editors have no way to verify that you are who you say you are, or verify whether what you claim is fact or not. wikipedia does not accept information that is not published in reliable sources. the michael tylo website claims that it's official, but there's no way to verify that. even so, the bio on that site does not corroborate your claim. mr. tylo himself could open an account here and post the info - and his additions would be reverted, per policy as well, since there would be no way to verify that he is who he says he is. i realize this may be frustrating, but these policies are in place to protect the integrity of the information on wikipedia. if you can find a reliable source that corroborates your claims, the information can be added with a citation to that effect. please review WP:RS for more information on what constitutes a reliable source.

 * please stop. this is not how wikipedia is edited. we do not take people's word for it here. furthermore, the michael.tylo.unlv.edu address you supplied comes up dead. information must be cited within the article with a reliable source. the tyloonline cite still does not provide concrete proof to back up the assertion. it doesn't matter if it claims he appeared in a couple of plays. it really doesn't matter! wikipedia only accepts material from reliable sources. editors are not reliable sources, and fansites only occasionally qualify. find evidence to corroborate your claim on a respected newspaper's website. that would be reliable. if mr. tylo is still acting professionally, then he can have his agent issue a press release, which can be published in a reliable source, citing his current status as an actively employed actor. again, the tyloonline cite says he works full time as a professor. that implies, via the reasonable person test, that he is no longer an actor. it's simple. repeatedly adding this information, and supplying unreliable sources to back it up, will not accomplish anything, because it will continue to be reverted.
