A couple of things...

Hi Dongutteridge!

Thank you for your contributions to the article on Don Gutteridge (author). Going by your username, it looks like you may have a conflict of interest with this article. If so: it isn't really a problem - and doesn't stop you editing the article - but you should probably be aware of Wikipedia's policy on this which you can find here (and - if relevant - you might also see the Wikipedia policy on autobiography). Also, the last couple of edits that you have made to this page you have provided information without a reference to a reliable source that allows this information to be verified. I think the edits you have made are just about okay, but, generally speaking, Wikipedia's Policy on Biographies of Living Persons requires that any statement made in such an article be backed up with a reference.

Feel free to drop me a note on my talk page if you have any questions, or visit the Teahouse where you can get advice from expert editors.

With all best wishes,
