Dear Wikipedia,

The page on myself, Gibson C. Armstrong had "This biographical article is written like a résumé. Please help improve it by revising it to be neutral and encyclopedic" posted at the top. So I removed content that I thought might seem biased and added some sources. Instead of removing the tag, it added another: "This article is an autobiography or has been extensively edited by the subject or by someone connected to the subject. It may need editing to conform to Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. There may be relevant discussion on the talk page. (February 2022) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)" I think the content is neutral and, again, I added sources. Could someone therefore remove the tags, or let me know what more I need to do? Thank you for your help.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 20:57, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
