First-person account by person with same name removal[edit]
A person with the same name as the producer Alan Winstanley (User talk:AlanWin), apparently contributed the following first-person account to the article.
Unfortunately, Wikipedia does accept such first-person accounts. According to the No original research policy, Wikipedia cannot be used to create new primary sources (i.e. to publish information and first-person accounts that have not been published elsewhere in reputable sources). The lack of a published source also violates Wikipedia:Verifiability. Nor is a first-person account neutral. Finally, the notibility of the entry can also be called into question Wikipedia:Notability.
We welcome any information that Mr. Winstanley can provide, but it must be in the form of published sources that we can cite.
- A namesake Alan R. Winstanley is a British author and designer, working as part of the Editorial team of the international Everyday Practical Electronics ("EPE") magazine amongst other roles.
