Your Edits to the Paul D. Irving Article
I noticed that you have made unsourced edits to the Paul D. Irving article, and I wanted to make sure that you are aware of Wikipedia policies and guidelines regarding editing articles which you have a possible outside connection to and citing Verifiable reliable sources. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me on my UserTalk page. --TommyBoy (talk) 03:36, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I noticed that you recently removed sourced information from the Paul D. Irving article as "irrelevant". For future reference, if you are concerned about the relevance or accuracy of information in a Wikipedia article, I would encourage you to address the issue on the article's Talk page, the UserTalk page of the Wikipedian who added the information in question, or if the situation involves a biography of a living person, you may also file a report with the Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard.--TommyBoy (talk) 04:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * This is Paul D. Irving. The information about me is inaccurate and I am attempting to edit the information.  The facts are wrong.  Can you please help me edit my page so that it is accurate?  Thank you. Pirving (talk) 01:09, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Paul D. Irving) for disruptive COI editing. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

The information posted to my page was inaccurate and I am attempting to fix it. Can you please unblock me so that I can fix my own page and provide accurate information. Thank you. Pirving (talk) 01:12, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Please see below. In short, no: it is not your page, and what you did was remove reliably sourced information without giving a valid reason. You have a clear conflict of interest, and I believe the interest of the encyclopedia is best served by blocking you from directly editing the page. You may discuss your suggested edits on the talk page. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:00, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Your information was not "reliably sourced". It is from media outlets that did not corroborate their information. Furthermore, other outlets have refuted the information.  I'm disappointed that you would publish such material as "reliable". Pirving (talk) 04:31, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no "you" here that you can pin this on. You can make your case on the article talk page, but you will need to provide some more details, like which media outlets do not, according to you, "corroborate their information". Thank you. Drmies (talk) 23:45, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
