Can I not edit a Wikipedia page with my personal knowledge?

OP has an interesting post history and seems to either be a compulsive liar or delusional.
In their bio they claim to be a Pakistani Commune Account, an account shared by hundreds of users as a burner account. If you Google that the reddit results lead directly back to OP. The writing style seems to be the same on all the posts, so that seems to be a poor excuse to lie.
Their post before this one seems to imply their father is Howie Mandell.
Fuck you, you bald freak. I'll never understand why I was your "No Deal"
They made a post saying they ran 60 mph, and another that said they travelled 15 mins back in time.
They made a post claiming a Warner Bros executive approached them in a grocery store and asked to buy their life story
One post mentions having a boyfriend, another post mentions having a wife.
They claimed they made a joke about the weather being like "Noah's flood out there" and it made someone laugh so hard they had a heart attack.
In the post you linked they said "I'm finally an accountant", in a post shortly before that they claim to be working at the UPS store, shortly before that they claim they're in Germany for business, and then in another post they claim they're been an accountant for 15 years.
So yeah, I doubt a word of truth is coming from OP. I'll admit it was interesting to read through though.
Edit:
Teacher for 10 years

Summer job at retirement center is their first real job, despite being an accountant for 15 years and a teacher for 10.

Bartender for 7 years, and for once they claim to have been in Pakistan, which is at least consistent with the lie in their bio

Alright I think I'm done reading through these

Exactly my thoughts after looking also. Living in a fantasy world online for fun, or actually quite unhinged.

I definitely suspect it's that they're quite unhinged. They've posted a lot and it seems fairly consistent for years.

The post about running 60mph was on the speed subreddit ...as in amphetamines. I love it!

Gotcha. I totally understand that you mean reliable in a scholarly sense, but I’ve been labeled as a liar so many times over the years by peers at school and had the truth covered up so it’s painful to yet again hear that my word (which I got confirmed by DNA test this year) is not considered “reliable.” Again, not taking fault with you at all! I’m a historian so “sources are king” is a mantra of mine, too. Thanks.

I'll be frank: you are some rando on the internet, and you can't stay anonymous and at the same time expect your word to mean anything.
And even if you weren't anonymous, you clearly have a beef with your father, which makes you unsuitable to add information to that person's article.

It's not that anybody thinks you're lying, it's just the nature of the thing. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, and you're a primary source.
I won't pry, but depending on the reasons he's a PoS, there probably is some secondary source out there that you could spill the beans to while keeping your anonymity. Plenty of media outlets still do the anonymous source thing.

The way to get this on Wikipedia would be to get a newspaper to run your story, and then cite that article in the Wikipedia article.
