March 2011 edit

  Please refrain from writing autobiographical articles, as you did at Van Howard. Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged; if you create such an article, it may be deleted. All edits to articles must conform to our policies on no original research, neutral point of view, and avoid conflicts of interest. Please remember that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a personal webspace provider. If your achievements are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:39, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for the incorrect judgment. I don't think Howard's notability is in question. However, the tone of the article is not encyclopedic — it reads more like a personal reflection. Wikipedia articles are required to have a straightforward, encyclopedic tone that does not include commentary or reflect a non-neutral point of view. Moreover, if the information you included is copied word-for-word from Howard's bio, you may have violated copyright laws. Please edit the article to conform to Wikipedia style and policy. You might find this page to be helpful. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:41, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I'll try to do some editing as time permits. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:41, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Much better! Now work on the references and you'll be good. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:17, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
