For 12 years, based on his admission and the article's history, Scott Tixier or someone claiming to be him has been breaking our rules by writing about himself and reverting the edits of experienced editors. He has been violating Autobiography, Conflict of interest, and disregards the need for impartial, third party sources to maintain Neutrality—foundational principles at Wikipedia. For four years, I've been editing material from the article that was unsourced, promotional, against the MOS, or in other way a violation. For four years, this person petulantly continued to try to get his way—instead of talking to me, co-operating, or attempting to learn our rules. His responses were tantrums: calling me jealous, snobbish, advising me to see a psychiatrist, accusing me of vandalism (of all things), and asserting that I'm the one who is ignorant of the rules. This is the old "I know you are but what am I" projection from childhood. This person had 12 years of free advertising, but it still wasn't enough. Wikipedia doesn't exist to advertise or to promote anyone's career or to sell records. I know this is hard to see when there are so many articles written by fans, boosters, and people with an agenda. But that is all the more reason to concentrate on one's own work rather than fall back on the conformist's cry, "But everyone else is doing it."
