Bill Zimmerman - activist

I noticed an article about me on Wikipedia. It was very brief and incomplete. I made extensive edits to it before coming across a notice that I should not have because autobiographies are not allowed. Please advise where I should go from here. My edits were saved, but now a "Problem" notice appears at the top of the article. Should it be removed entirely? Is one of your editors interested in expanding the material that first appeared based on my edits? Please advise as to what I should do from here. Thank you.
