Hello Mr. Friel. You made 2 edits to the article about yourself. however, much of what you did contravenes WP policy on a good article, so i reverted that material to what was there prior. i did add back your slightly longer descrip of what you write, as that is not contdroversial and is likely easily sourced. if other material here is not relevant by your standards, first make sure the reference is accurate, and if its a significant source, like NYT, we dont want to remove it. without references, your article would actually have to be deleted, and i dont believe you deserve that. i created the article, and i have it on a watchlist, and while that doesnt mean i am officually responsible for its content, i did notice this change and fixed it. if you want to help the project, id be happy to show you the ropes. you are obviously a much better writer than me (im not published except here), so im sure youd be an asset to us. PS if you want a photo here, just upload ANY photo you have ever taken of yourself, in any context, to the Commons. you give up copyright, but that may be worth it to you.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 21:00, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
