Conflict of interest

Hello. I've noticed you tried to edit an article named after yourself in Wikipedia. If this is who you are, I must say, you seem like quite an accomplished person. However, here in Wikipedia, we strongly discourage editors from editing any articles wherein there may be Conflict of Interest. Hence, if you have real content pertinent to your article, you are strongly encouraged to submit proposed edits for review on the article's talk page along with a {{Request edit}} tag to attract users to review the edit, or to file a request for comment. More details about the policy and what you can do are available at Conflict of Interest. Ratibgreat (talk) 10:50, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. No no don't you worry, these policies are in place only to ensure the accuracy and neutrality of the articles. If you want to make edits as minor as the ones you mentioned, go ahead, making sure that you cite properly. Else, leave an edit request at the talk page.
