message: Reverse lokup of 12.16.249.82, one of the editors, shows it is from the San Diego Air Space Museum, where the author is said to be a director. Self editing/creation of biographies id no allowed.EckelH (talk) 12:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the entries you have flagged, they appear to relate to amending only two words - the person's place of residence, and a web site link. I also understand the museum in question is a place with hundreds of employees. 
The entries you flag also come a long time after the creation of the page, are one word apiece, appear to be one-offs, and cannot be comprehensively linked to the subject of the page. For these reasons, your "self-editing / creation" statement is on one count false (they did not create the page), on another an exaggeration (they are not "significant contributions"). I would suggest removing the templates. MoseleyWill (talk) 16:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm always glad when someone looks at self-editing possibilities. But in this case, to flag it as "has included significant contributions to this article" is nonsensical. Looking at the edit questions, I concur that it was changing one word - the subject's place of residence from "San Diego" to "Oceanside." There's a simple solution. As their place of residence is not relevant to their notability, I have removed the information. And as the point is now therefore moot, I have removed the incorrect templates.
