Trying to clean this up and ensure neutral point of view, notability, and reliable sources are sufficient for move to main article space. Any comments would be appreciated. Jonvanv (talk) 06:59, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

I am Jonathan Van Voorhees - trying to follow the guidelines - I think that there are sufficient reliable sources cited could probably use help on NPOV Jonvanv (talk) 06:59, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

A few things to note...

• Writing about yourself is not accepted by us because of WP:COI.
• Due to COI, you might write your article in a biased tone because you are writing about yourself.(WP:BIO and WP:AUTO)
• There is no inline citations in the article making it unclear what is referenced and what isn't.
• The article is too long and goes into too much detail.

Well I got tired of waiting for someone to write something about me in Wikipedia and it was my first attempt at writing an article. :) I put a lot of work into it, worked hard to remain objective, and it does cover contributions I have made in politics, film, and hair styling, all of which have been reported in mainstream newspapers and magazines. I think I have been even-handed in my reporting and have tried to stick to the facts, that is I have tried not to interject opinion, but this is why I need outside observers to review it. I appreciate your time in exchanging information with me.

There are a lot of discussions about COI and they seem to be split. Some people seem to think that autobiography is automatically COI others say that it just needs to be well sourced.

How do you do an inline citation?

Can you give me examples of too much detail please? Jonvanv (talk) 06:59, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
