More and more commonly, we receive self-published information on Rooster Teeth Wiki. In most cases, I think that's absolutely fine. For example, if you have the desire to add or remove your middle name, go for it. Wikipedia is against this type of editing. But, we are not Wikipedia. Initially, after 8 years of Wikipedia-style editing, I was against autobiography edits on any wiki. We are one of the few wikis that contain self-added info and that's ok!


 * (For reference, the Uncyclopedia is a wiki that doesn't take itself seriously. Internet Box Wiki is the same way, unlike Rooster Teeth Wiki.)

Many edits are undone (by admins and standard users alike) because they can be taken as spam or nonsensical. Say, for example, an article on Mike Kroon is edited by "User:xXMikeKroonXx". We can, sometimes, assume this was an account made by Mike. However, if this user added "Mike wants to date Flutter Shy from My Little Pony.", we'd more than likely undo the edit. If we can confirm it was Mike, we'll reformat the sentence with a reference. Here's a list of ways I've personally dealt with these types of edits:
 * Undid page to previous revision, nothing additional.
 * Kept the user's quote and added a (reference) to the edit link revision itself.
 * Most recently I undid a major change and transfered the user's edit to their User Page.

Remember, you may edit your User Page to your heart's desire*. If you would like to confirm your wiki account actually belongs to you (contact an admin), we will link our wiki article to your account's User Page.

* "Heart's Desire" excludes general policy breaking rules. No pr0n, no bully pls.

In a nutshell
Mainspace articles are primarily for factual content. Please take advantage of your User Page, for things like hobbies.
