COI question
You seem to editing from the home town of the subject of the biography you are editing. There is some question of Conflict of Interest WP:COI. Please know that it is not generally a good idea edit one's own biography. It is better to post proposed or suggested changes in the talk section. That having been said, it is never appropriate to insert unreferenced material into a biography of a living person WP:BLP. Capitalismojo (talk) 23:02, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Answer: I am not editing from the home town of the person in question (I am situated in Geneva while his home town is Basel), and have no direct relationship with him. There is no conflict of interest. I gave his official biography as a reference.
