First you added copyrighted text from thepunksite.com about I Get Knocked Down, then you added promotional wording such as "award-nominated". You have a conflict of interest with regard to this biography, which limits your actions. You can request changes or make uncontroversial edits to the article, but you cannot revert other good-faith editors. Binksternet (talk) 16:53, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
