Conflict of interest
, your user name suggests that you have a WP:COI. If that's correct, it means that you cannot edit this article yourself. The right course of action is to suggest edits to the article here (on the talk page) together with supporting sources. An uninvolved editor will then make changes to the article as appropriate. If you have questions, please ask. Here is good.  Schwede 66  20:10, 27 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks Schwede. I was adding notes of awards for colleagues and figured that as they are facts, not opinions, it would be ok to add myself as well. But I appreciate the policy now it is explained. I'll see if I can work out how to suggest in the talk page. Best wishes for the new year! Ianfoster42 (talk) 21:56, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your understanding, . There isn't more to it than posting here, just as you've just done. The ideal way of suggesting changes is as such: Please change "What this sentence says currently." to "What I'd like the sentence to say instead.", plus a reliable secondary source that backs up the new information. But any variation of that will do. Sources don't have to be online or they might be behind a paywall; that's all good. But in that case, a fully formatted reference including page numbers would be appreciated.  Schwede 66  06:26, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

 * These things do require a reference but I've had a look and found one, so I will add that.  Schwede 66  05:37, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
