yes i did start the article about myself as a relatively new wikipedia editor and i consider that the biggest mistake i've made as a wikipedia editor but i didn't write it the anon who did did a poor job of it in my opinion but i've refrained from re doing it i admitted my involvement on the talk page as to my great great grandfather of the same name i did write that one and noted the relationship entirely based on book sources that were published long ago and that i have no interest in thanks for noticing it doesn't take any big leap to see a clear notability question and conflict of interest the notability question can be addressed in the usual way by adding citations to independent sources with significant coverage of the topic the coi is best addressed by just admitting it and then being very careful with your edits with your relationship with other editors personal attacks are not a good stop in that direction did i read your book no i've never seen it
