If you’re wondering why your edit to {{{1}}} has been reverted; it’s because it’s an uncited claim about a living person, which is against Wikipedia’s policies(WP:BLP). An example: anybody could edit, say, Stephen Colbert’s Wikipedia page to say he’s dead when he’s still alive, but if they do the same edit, but cite a reliable source, like a news outlet, their claim of Stephen Colbert being dead carries much more weight. If you want to add this information to {{{1}}}, find a reliable source to back up your claim – if you need help with citing sources or anything else, don’t be afraid to drop a comment on my talk page.
