I'm not quite certain. If I recall, is there not a rule that restricts from a notable person from making edits to thier own page...?

What I don't understand is when people look themselves up and see

have something to prove by saying "Wikipedia sucks" instead of
contributing to the effort and making Wikipedia better.
