Personal Wikipeda page

I've been trying to complete a Wikikipedia page about myself as I battle with lung cancer at age 70. I understand writing an autobiographical page is 0roblematic and the good reasons for it's discouragement. My anti-smoking, educational reform, Lake Woebegone, and vitamin D activism are all well documented and can easy be completed after my death, should anyone want to.

But one 10-year-episode of my Ike is not, the war I fought against Recovered Memory Therapy from 1991 to 2000. Other than writing and publishing the definitive academic publication on informed consent that lawyers of that time used to successfully sue RMT practitioners, and thus ending the practice, most of the details of what I did, I kept quiet, as I attempted, succrdfuly, to bring a hail of legal devastation down on my fellow psychiatrists practicing this evil theraputic malformation.

If I don't write this section, it will be list to history.

I'm very sorry to hear the news about your health, but as noted above we strongly discourage autobiographies, and health issues are not an exception. If you talk to a responsible journalist who has the professional qualifications to evaluate your story and they publish it, we can use that information to write about you.--S Philbrick (Talk) 13:26, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

“Responsible Joiurnalst with Wikipedia qualifications”

Is what I need to revise my Wikipedia page for accuracy and completeness before I end. My current page is not all that accurate, incomplete and ignores the one successful (8-year-long) crusade I waged (in the 1990’s against fellow psychiatrists who were practicing RMT. Unlike my earlier and later crusades, the RMT one has to be under the oress’s radar. My earlier Lake Woebegone education discovery and subsequent crusade led to worse public school testing (George Bush’s No Child Left Behind” idiocy), not better. The third, the Vitamin D Council, will write its own history.

Where to find such a journalist? The only ones I know are busy writing insipid tripe about vitamin D.
