Getting your biography updated.[edit]

It is a source of frustration with many people that their own biography is the one article on Wikipedia that they cannot update. Jesco von Puttkamer demonstrates to me that you are a distinguished professional, and having your biography corrected would be of interest to many users of Wikipedia. The conflict of interest problem can be overcome with the help of other editors. You need to find other editors who can work on the article. I cannot do that at this time, but maybe I can help you find someone else. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:37, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you look at the history for your article, and use the talk of some of the earlier contributors to find help in updating your biography. It is important to have citations (WP:cite) for the article, and especially for the changes. The is the strong possibility that the updates that you did will be reversed by some other editor enforcing the conflict of interest rules of Wikipedia. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
