I have no idea what you are talking about. I am not friends with or related to the subject. While I am a fan, I am simply cleaning up this page and adding appropriate citations to new information. I'm just interested in making sure his page is accurate and not constantly littered with "needs citation" that results in a reversal of factual edits.

Ace Young
Hi, Nomad, and thank you for your efforts at removing WP:COI puffery from Ace Young. You might not be aware that while you were making several constructive edits, the evidently COI IP reverted to his self-serving publicity version, and your subsequent edits were to that version, leaving much of that version intact. I rolled back to your 00:21 edit of August 18 since I couldn't easily extricate his version from yours.

I'm going to ask an admin for page protection regarding that IP. In the meantime, keep up the good work in keeping Wikipedia encyclopedic. One note: I could be wrong but one of your citations appeared to be to Wikipedia itself, which Wikipedia disallows. You might have meant to wikilink something, which is allowed. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 19:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

The last edits I made left the page very accurate. Please revert back to the last edited version I made. The current version is NOT accurate (example: he was born in Boulder not Denver) Mr. Young is putting accurate information in but doesn't seem to know how to source things and the formatting is wrong. I am attempting to assist the anonymous IP person by taking what they put on the page and making it acceptable for Wiki. Again, the very last revision I made (adding a citation) was adding to an ACCURATE Wiki page. What is there now is NOT entirely accurate. Nomad1200 (talk) 21:06, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Nomad1200

The revision: "Revision as of 17:49, 18 August 2012" is the most accurate edit. Continuing to revert to what is there now, an outdated and incomplete entry, is just going to continue to cause hard feelings with the anon IP user, who I do believe is Ace Young (based on his Twitter account posts about being frustrated with Wiki). Not everybody is a Wiki expert and instead of creating hard feelings and frustration I'm attempting to source his additions and reword "puffery" to more suitable language. Can't we all just get along? LOL Nomad1200 (talk) 21:15, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Nomad1200

Hello, I'm CatcherStorm. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ace Young, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  CatcherStorm    talk   02:03, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
