Mark Beyer
Hello, I notice that you've been editing the article Mark Beyer (comics), with edit summaries that imply that you're Mark Beyer.

There are some problems with this. First, in order to change the main thrust of the article (in itself not a bad goal), you've removed material. If Beyer has (if you have) long abandoned comics, that doesn't mean that the comics weren't created or that material about them should be deleted. (Or is the material mistaken? If so, please explain.) Also, Ne'er-do-wellers definitely exists (I possess a copy).

Secondly, either you really are Mark Beyer or you aren't. (I suspect that you are.) If you aren't him, then you're impersonating him, which is a no-no; and if you are him, then you normally should not write about yourself: please see Autobiography.

In its current state, the article on Beyer (or you) is bad. Can it be improved? If so, please make suggestions at Talk:Mark Beyer (comics). (Don't like this, and wish it were instead "Talk:Mark Beyer (artist)"? I'm inclined to agree with you -- but again, please comment there.) To see how this can work, please take a look at Talk:Nicholson Baker to see how "Wageless" (i.e. Nicholson Baker) has made suggestions and had them implemented. -- Hoary (talk) 10:28, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
