Dear Wikipedia invigilators: I'm Graeme Simsion, the subject of this article. I do check it from time to time, and I now find that there is a warning that the article may have been created for undisclosed payments and may contain errors. Seems strange after it's been up for several years, but I guess you conduct periodic audits. I can confirm that the article is accurate aside from the Fellow of the Australian Computer Society honour which no longer applies as I have resigned from that organisation.(And of course any negative reviews of my books!) But... the undisclosed payments - my wife (and co-author) Anne Buist's article has been similarly tagged as has one (and only one!) of my books - The Rosie Effect. We have both made enquiries of our publisher who is adamant that they don't update Wikipedia and cannot envisage anyone else who would have any reason to pay for the article to be created. Perhaps one of my foreign publishers? The article about me has been around for several years and I have no idea where it came from. Anne's is more recent. Anne wrote to you some weeks ago, and it the warning is still in place. So now I ask for both of us: 1. Are these warnings related? 2. Who is suspected of being paid to create the articles? And with what motive? With our publishers and ourselves the only people likely to benefit from the publicity arising from these articles (and let me say, they don't read like publicity to me!), the tag must create an impression that one of us is breaking the rules - which is simply not so, and a slur on our reputations. We note that there is only a 'may have been' - a suspicion. Can you please advise what needs to happen - beyond these clear statements from Anne and myself - in order to have this tag removed? Or will it eventually expire for lack of evidence? 3. I'd have thought that the innocent explanation - that they were created by people who liked our books - was the most likely, but you must have information that we don't. We're both intrigued and frustrated...

Thank you (Graeme Simsion (Please contact via my publicist, Jane Finemore, jane.finemore@textpublishing.com.au who can also confirm that they did not pay for (nor indeed directly update) the pages.
