Trying to please Marphy so I can finally add my information to this article[edit]

I was doing a show in Seattle, and someone came to me after the show, and introduced themselves, and it was Kim Swift, who's the project lead for Portal. She said "Would you ever want to write music for video games?"
Jonathan Coulton Discusses "Portal" Fame at PAX East  (PAX East 2012 April 6-8)

And so Jonthan Coulthon accepted to work on Portal 1 and after "talking about a few options, but we ended up designing doing a song for Portal" (as said by Jonathan Coulthon on 1:11), and that it "seemed like a challenge". (No sentence is going to be good as what Jonathan Coulton himself said)

I had been literally fighting a war with Marphy just to put this information on this page. I'm warning you, don't go to Ravenholm (in this case Combine Overwiki), they won't let you get anything done, for the people who will see this (rare), warn everyone. Laugh at it in your Discord server.

Marphy acts if some white knight in shining armor will come over and solve this if I complain on the talk page about it, but I know what it's like on wikis, you're on own and unless you push, people will too be lazy to give any information.

Also add it to https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Still_Alive#History_and_recording. This mentions a slightly different story that's not cited.

>Jonathan Coulton got involved with Valve after two developers approached him following a concert in Seattle. They asked him if he would like to write music for the company, and due to his fandom for the Half-Life series, he immediately accepted.

Here's all the contributions I made for this page (that Marphy reverted for being an "inappropriate addition", he started acting like I should feel all bad and that I'm inappropriate to both readers and writers. https://combineoverwiki.net/index.php?title=Jonathan_Coulton&oldid=489007 https://combineoverwiki.net/index.php?title=Jonathan_Coulton&diff=prev&oldid=489007

Whoever finds this, actually I know who to call, I'm calling Cxovulary. I'm going ask to him to write so it can be finally be done.
