Citation for author's residence
I'm a new Wikipedia contributor and am wondering about two things. First, would this be an adequate citation for the author's residence of Greenville, SC. If not, what sort of citation works well for this information?

Second, since I own a bookstore and sell this author's books as well as many others does that mean I have a conflict of interest and cannot edit any articles about authors/books, my area of expertise?

Thanks in advance for your comments. Fictionaddiction (talk) 16:58, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * , in short, no and no. Amazon is a commercial site, and is anyway notoriously, comprehensively, mind-bogglingly inaccurate. A good source would be something like a review in the New York Times, or an entry in the LoC catalogue, or any other in-depth coverage in a nationally- or internationally-recognised publication. I can't see how being a bookseller could be regarded as a COI, as long as you don't start promoting the titles you've over-stocked! Welcome to Wikipedia!
