Autobiographical contributions[edit]

Is it within Wikepedia's guidelines for the subject of entries to write them themselves? According to the history of this site Iain Overton has contributed to his own entry - which would appear to be self-promotion, and hardly objective? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.120.100 (talk) 15:25, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. {{Connected contributor}} tag added above. -- Trevj (talk) 11:02, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When did Iain Overton contribute to the entry on himself? I have to say I only visited it recently, after writing an entry on his involvement in the Newsnight/McAlpine affair. I was shocked to see how much it resembled a highly laudatory CV for Overton. DanHardie (talk) 04:43, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing[edit]

It would help greatly if those editors concerned with this page would please learn how to cite references properly, rather than relying on other people to tidy up after them. Thanks. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:47, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
