Mats Lidström asked me to update his Wiki page as it is very out of date. To do this he sent me his CV and link to his profile of the website of the Royal Academy of Music which I edited and used update to update the article but it keeps being removed. Not sure how to resolve this. Most of the content is a list of people he has worked with, places he has worked and studied and music he has written published. There is little in the way of comment or argument. Can you please advise how I should proceed to allow the new version for he page to stand. Almost all the content is directly verifiable via the Royal Academy Progile Link and Mats personal and publishing websites (both linked at the foot of the article). I know you say you need references but the current version of the page doesn't seem to have any references to publications and the new article is almost entirely and easily verifiable - so why is the old page more valid, especially as the content is not provided or endorsed by the public figure involved?

Please read WP:BLP, WP:RS, WP:COI en WP:OR. For articles about living persons we can only use reliable third party sources. That is: somebody else writing about Mats Lidström and having published it. The facts may be true, but they should be published before in reliable sources. Interviews, social media and personal CV are not considered reliable sources, sorry.

How about the Royal Academy of Music website which is cited?JCarolHaynes (talk) 09:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have nearly copied that website, making it a breach of copyrights. The Banner talk 11:57, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I can see my earlier message from earlier today, where I wonder what I should do EXACTLY do update my CV. The CV appearing in the website of the Royal Academy of Music is my property. So I am not borrowing from it in order to put together a CV for Wikipedia. The Royal Academy CV is one I have provided for them. The qeestion I put to you in my earlier message is, since you want things to be added by a third party is whether you would accept that the company FromSwedenProductions.com will provide the CV? FromSwedenProductions.com is the promotor for a public concert which I take part in on Dec.23 at London's Cadogan Hall.
