Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Brian L. Porter, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Brian L. Porter. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

Personal knowledge is not sufficient, unfortunately. And the information that the person in question writes as a hobby is only notable if there are reliable secondary sources that quote him as saying that. As he is notable for his books, that makes him a writer - and if he has retired from writing, again there has to be a secondary source verifying that claim.

Please note that if you are Brian L. Porter you should not edit the article at all, unless it has been clearly vandalised or unless there is unsourced information there. You should not insert any information at all without a secondary source. Please see the information above. Thank you! bonadea contributions talk 08:43, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
