User talk:Financiera

Do you have any official connection with the subject of this article? Jehochman (^talk/_contrib) 11:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The article was written at the request of my children who noticed similar biographies (in fact in many cases with lesser international visibility and economic contributions) in your encyclopedia and wished to contribute mine to Wikipedia. They had added as sources the articles published in various reference books such as Who’s Who in the World but which appear to have been deleted from the article. Regards, Robert L. Genillard

You are User:Financiera, I understand. You may wish to look at Wikipedia:Biography of living persons. Once you have a page in Wikipedia, there is always a chance that somebody may add false information. You or others should watch your page to make sure this does not happen. Please also look at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You seem to be a very notable person. Nevertheless, it is best not to work directly on your own article. Some people have tried to use Wikipedia for self-promotion. I do not think that is the case here, but for appearances, it may be best if you make comments to your article's talk page, rather than editing the article directly. That way other editors can review the material before adding it to the article.

I removed the Who's Who references because Wikipedia's does not to use Who's Who books as sources. However, the remaining sources seem very reliable and more than sufficient.

As an expert on financial topics, I hope you will look at some of our finance articles. You are welcome to help improve them. Thank you and happy editing. Jehochman (^talk/_contrib) 19:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
