Hi! I have made many CORRECT changes on Wikipedia and they were all reverted back to the original information which was incorrect! How do I get the Correct information onto your site?

You may think they are "correct", but they're not. You've made only a handful of edits today and before that you haven't edited since almost a year ago. I've reverted the edits you made to the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge because they were unexplained (you had no edit summary) and because the change was probably incorrect, inconsistent with the body of the article, and unsourced. I reverted the changes you made to the article Talk page because you refactored the comments of another editor that had been made back in 2009. All of this is more likely incompetence rather than vandalism, but it's nonetheless unacceptable. If you persist in such edits, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:11, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am an EXPERT on Most Bridges! I have documentation on all these changes! Before you say something that you are not sure about you should see what I have first! Do you want to see some of my information???????? Maincable (talk) 16:15, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not in the least interested. Whether you are an expert or not is immaterial to Wikipedia. You are not an expert on how to edit Wikipedia in a policy-compliant manner. And don't shout (using capital letters is considered shouting).--Bbb23 (talk) 16:26, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WHY do have such a poor attitude to someone who wants to give to you and the public the correct information about a subject? I have corrected you folks many times in the past. Maincable (talk) 16:29, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have a page of one of the Progress reports of SF Oakland Bay Bridge. 2nd paragraph down its states Glenn Woodruff as Engineer of design. Charles Purcell was only Chief Engineer. Who can I send this to? Maincable (talk) 16:27, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Maincable. When you add or change information in a Wikipedia article you should always include the source(s) for that information. Not by sending the source to any person, but by citing it in the article; Wikipedia's readers should be able to see where the information comes from. This is one of the basic principles of Wikipedia, further explained here: Wikipedia:Verifiability. --bonadea contributions talk 16:48, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Is there ANY way after I make Copies of articles of Engineering reports I have I can send to you? This will confirm my accurate information. I am not good at digital "Stuff" so E-Mailing information would be the easiest way for me. Maincable (talk) 16:53, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
