Help?[edit]

I'm Jeffrey Skinner. My Wikipedia page was created around twenty or more years ago; I don't know who created it. But it is now very out of date, and I've been trying to follow the directions for revising it. I'm finding them confusing and labyrinthine. If someone who is familiar with the editing system can help me I'd much appreciated it. I'll put my updated bio here. It's not "sourced," but each item in it is (I think) easily verifiable. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

Hello, Jeffrey Skinner.I see you edited at the teahosue using the account Jtskin01. At least I presume that this is the same person editing here.
I see that you want this article updated and accurate, and so do we. But Wikipedia articles need to be verifiable which generally means that [they must cite some reliable; sources as a basis for their content. Could you please:
  1. Break up the issues where an update is needed into several specific items where the article is now out of date, in each case indicating the specific changes need; and,
  2. for each such change, supply one or more reliable sources that support it? If the sources are online that will make things easier and faster, but that is not required. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:05, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
