Comment

Hey Wikipedia...

I posted an brief bio of myself on your site because it made it easier for me to let people know where they could get a copy of it.

I wasn't aware until now that this practice is discouraged.

Given that, I don't understand why you allow it to continue to be posted. In any event, if you can't strike the editors' notes on top, please delete it entirely.

Thanks!

Mark Thompson

Hi. I have completely rewritten it from scratch so there should now be no problem with your earlier input and the editors' notes can be removed too. Kind regards. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:09, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

Is there a reason why we don't have an exact birthday? We are not talking about someone who was born before we were able to have a written record of it. Also, if the person himself has contributed to the article, can't he include his birthday? -- chick3magnet

We need a source, one that any reader can verify. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:16, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
