An article Robin Baker (biologist)appeared about me on Wikipedia on 9 March 2011, posted by CompetaSteve (I can tell that most of it was taken from the biographies on Amazon, my agent's site, and my own web-site). But it contained two or three minor errors that only I would know, so I corrected them and as a result the neutrality of the page has been disputed. Anybody concerned about this should look closely at the changes I made on this page between March and May: my PhD was on Insect Migration, not Migration, so I corrected that; my old school, Marlborough Grammar School, no longer exists so I corrected the link to the Wikipedia page; and the number of languages my books have been published in changed, so I updated that. While I was editing, I confess that I also did a little tidying. I put the book titles in italics and because two of the statements about me were unverified I added references. Those are the only changes I have made. Do they count as extensive? If they do, I shall happily undo them all. By all means check the tone of the article. It seems pretty neutral and factual to me.

- Factual changes are fine, as long as you provide references for them, but please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#Writing about yourself and your work before making further changes that affect the tone of articles about yourself or your books. 71.167.60.198 (talk) 12:46, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
