Your edits in Phil Keith-Roach
Hello, Alan-thompson. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

In any case, please cite sources when adding or changing information, and do not remove content that is supported by references without stating why this would improve the article for our readers (merely claiming that it is the article subject's wish is not sufficient).

 * I feel sure this was reaponded to at the time but there is no evidence here. I have placed relevant supporting articles on Phil Keith-Roach's Wikipedia page. My main involvement with him is that I provide him with an ad-hoc IT support service for his various devices. I do receive payment for my services (including necessary edits to the links that lead to newspaper articles on Wikipedia as some of them become redundant and need reinstating), but I do so following Wikipedia rules and all links are relevant and genuine. Would it be possible to remove the potential COI statement that was placed on his page years ago?

Addition of reference to a chapter in a recently published book
In a recently published book which covers England's rugby world cup victory in 2003 (20th anniversary); is a 37 page chapter entitled 'Phil Keith-Roach', and I'm wondering if I can reference (the chapter specifically) on Phil Keith-Roach's Wikipedia page? It is not online, just in print. The book is 'One Team: The Paths to Rugby World Cup Glory' by J. R. Rickwood, ISBN: 9781399960687. Does this kind of reference conform to Wikipedia rules, as it represents extensive reading matter for an interested reader. Thank you.
