Matt Kindt
Welcome to Wikipedia. You restored an edit that removed content from Wikipedia with these edits of yours to Matt Kindt, stating in your edit summary, "This information is more accurate. Ridley Scott no longer has the rights to Mind MGMT. Some other things are outdated information. This information is up to date." However, this is not valid justification for blanking entire paragraphs of career-related information, along with the citations that supported them, from the article. If there is a problem with the accuracy of that information, then you should specify what it is. Since there were seven citations in that paragraph, such a deletion would call for a discussion on the article's talk page, as is the practice with edits likely to be controversial. If any of that information is out of date, then the proper solution is to update it with citations that reflect any changes in the status of that information, not wholesale deletion of it.

In addition, the edit you restored added some passages to the article that were not accompanied by citations. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. While User:MattKindt, who made that original edit, did include some bare external links in some of these passages, they did not support the material in all cases, and other passages lacked such sources entirely.

There is also the problem unattributed opinions and promotional wording in those additions ("considered by most to be his masterpiece"; "A one-of-a-kind tour deforce"). Beyond that, there are also other compositional problems with material you added, like adding the passages "Kindt grew up with comics..." and "Kindt has worked with every major publisher..." in the middle of the career section rather than when such statements, if appropriate for inclusion, would've been placed in the Early life section and at the top of the Career section or the Lead, respectively. There is also the matter of dated wording like "been working in the industry for over twenty years." Please see WP:DATED for more on this.
