I am the person in question whom this page refers to. I would like to add more data to it. How do I go about it? I had placed a large amount of referenced data some time ago. All of which was removed. Mrmediumvoltage (talk) 12:47, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You should not be editing the article directly; see WP:AUTOBIO. Instead, requests for someone else to make suggested edits may be made here on this talk page using the {{edit COI}} template (which is more likely to get someone's attention than just making the request on talk without using the template).
All additions must be supported by published sources that other editors can verify, according to our policy on biographies of living people. If you look at the article in its current state you can see some examples of the sort of thing that would be acceptable as sources: articles in newspapers or trade magazines, web sites published by universities or established engineering organizations (not personal web sites), etc. Sources published by people who are not connected to you or your employer are preferred. Print sources are ok if they can be found in libraries; sources do not need to be online. Sometimes the requirement for sources means that additional details that you personally know to be true cannot be added. Additionally, any added text should not directly copy or closely paraphrase the text of its sources. Your recent attempts to edit this article do not appear to have included any references to published sources, so as well as the AUTOBIO issues, the lack of sources was a reason for their removal.
Finally, see WP:NOTCV: this article should only list accomplishments, milestones, or recognition that might be meaningful to readers, rather than providing an exhaustive and indiscriminate listing of career details such as a cv would have. For instance, it would probably be a mistake to try to list all patents on which you are named. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:52, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
