Also, see WP:AUTOPROB for more guidance on how to get an article about yourself corrected or updated. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:47, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I'll write one and then get some help with links etc. There may be the need to write some other articles to detail the story. Ian

Beeblebrox. I see this in the autobiography notes, "make a proposal containing the text you want, instead of just putting it up directly, and seek the consensus of the community through discussion". I am happy doing this. I am not much of a self promoter but want a factual piece. How do I go about making this proposal? Ian

Go to Talk:Ian Cairns, and click on the "New section" tab at the top of the page. An edit window will open where you can post a title and whatever edits you propose to make. The more specific you are with your proposals, the better feedback is likely to be. 15:58, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
