No, we're not going to replace this article with your extra promotional version. If you have factual changes to make, please do call those out (one or two at a time, please), with sources, but we're not going to just swap out the article for a hagiography. - MrOllie (talk) 20:00, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
