I'm a new Wikipedia contributor and am wondering about two things. First, would this [1] be an adequate citation for the author's residence of Greenville, SC. If not, what sort of citation works well for this information?
Second, since I own a bookstore and sell this author's books as well as many others does that mean I have a conflict of interest and cannot edit any articles about authors/books, my area of expertise?
Fictionaddiction, in short, no and no. Amazon is a commercial site, and is anyway notoriously, comprehensively, mind-bogglingly inaccurate. A good source would be something like a review in the New York Times, or an entry in the LoC catalogue, or any other in-depth coverage in a nationally- or internationally-recognised publication. I can't see how being a bookseller could be regarded as a COI, as long as you don't start promoting the titles you've over-stocked! Welcome to Wikipedia!
