Your message about your article

I have moved your message to WP:BLP/N, the notice-board for issues about biographies of living persons, and I expect someone will contact you. Meanwhile, the best advice is at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help; please read that carefully. I hope this helps you. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:11, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 16:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Your article

I'm afraid I am not going to have much time for this in the next two days. Advice for you in the meantime:

• Read carefully Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help, in particular the section headed "Expectations"
• I advise you not to edit your article yourself, because you have a conflict of interest; you would do better to make suggestions on its talk page.
• Is anything in it actually wrong? I was only able to read it, and your version, quickly, and the only thing I noticed was that it said you moved to Moscow in 1986, you said 1980.
• So far as adding extra material goes, you must remember that:

• Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a magazine, and entries should contain facts rather than gossip-type material.
• Anything we put in must be verifiable from a reliable source. We cannot put things in just because you say they are true - for one thing, anybody could log on and say that they were you.

Now that I have written this, I see that someone else has responded at the Biographies notice-board, where I moved your first message: click on WP:BLP/N#Please help me to correct information about me. Thank you very much in advance. and answer him there.
