Thanks for expanding/correcting the article. I think I had promised to do this at some point. Do you work with Mr. Teague? We e-mailed a bit about the Lazarus article I started but I wasn't able to finish adding the information he gave me. I should do that. Cheers, Valfontis (talk) 22:35, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm Ed Teague. I know the revision has self-quoting, but I don't know how to get around it :) Jasperlicious (talk) 22:40, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Ed, thanks for following up on this when I didn't! Since July, as I recall. I think I can fix the self-quoting. I'm obligated to mention here that you should probably read about conflict of interest. It's pretty wonky that experts get run off of Wikipedia because of the way people interpret the COI guidelines, but I've seen it happen, so better than to be safe than sorry.

- There is even a shortcut to self-citing: WP:SELFCITE. Valfontis (talk) 23:01, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
