I think you can share any or all of the following rules of thumb, in order:
"make proposed changes to talk pages.
ask other editors to help you update an article.
avoid editing articles about you/your organization directly,
unless you are fixing vandalism or typos, updating stats, or adding sources.

He's just making up his own rules.
Ken, what's your practical solution to the problems on each side, and
how will it work out well?
I don't know, but whatever it is, it should be consistent. Having the
policy
say one thing and Jimbo say something completely different is stupid as
well as increasing Wikipedia's reputation for incomprehensible rules.
