Even if you are the subject of the article, and you know the facts better than the rest of us, remember that the rest of us cannot be sure of an editor's identity, even if they are using your name as their username. Therefore when apparently self-promoting edits are made in a biographical article, we need to avoid any misunderstanding. Please avoid advertising language; this is an encyclopaedia. In situations like this where there may be a misunderstanding, please add an online reference for verification. If Nigel Hamilton is American and not British, then please do not change the information in the article without including an online citation. Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. If you are concerned that your edits were made in good faith and you are having difficulty in producing verification for those edits, please write your concerns here before attempting to edit again. --Storye book (talk) 09:24, 6 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
