Editing Edward Julius Detmold

Hi Fellow Editors,

I am new to Wikipedia editing, but am trying to correct several mistakes on the Edward Julius Detmold Wikipedia page, to add some missing information, and to add further important sources. In the the current version, the date of publication of the Book of Baby Beasts is wrong, and the information about Detmold's move to Montgomery is incorrect. (Some printed sources also contain the same incorrect information, but the leading Detmold scholar, Iain MacPhail, gives the correct information in his 1994 article, which I cited in my revisions). The article also does not mention the important fact that Detmold was briefly imprisoned as a conscientious objector during the First World War, and has no mention of some of his important works, including his 1930s work 'The Truth'. I tried editing the page, and adding some additional sources, but all my changes were reverted by a bot. I think this may have been because it didn't like the fact that I inserted links to a website and to a YouTube documentary (though these are accurate sources and do not violate copyright). I don't like to see incorrect information circulating on Wikipedia, so intend try making my changes again, omitting the references that I think may have caused the problem, but I would really welcome any advice you could give me about this, because I'm finding the Wikipedia rules and system really quite difficult for a novice to use!
