Cameron Platter
Hello Cameron Platter and welcome to Wikipedia. I note that you deleted the content of the Cameron Platter article about yourself and replaced it with other text. I saw your statement in the edit summary that you were unhappy with the previous content, and we take very seriously the accuracy and reliability of information in our articles, especially about living people.

Unfortunately, the version you substituted cannot stand, as it lacked any references to support it. All facts and opinions in Wikipedia articles should be based on what has already been published in "reliable sources" and should give references to show where the information was taken from.

The article has now been restored to its previous state, as that did at least include some references, even though it could no doubt be improved upon. However, I have to question whether you as the subject of the article should be attempting such improvements. We discourage people writing about themselves in Wikipedia! This is because it is normally difficult for people to maintain the required "neutral point of view" when the subject is themselves.

We do wish to take account of whatever valid concerns you may have about the article. My advice is to detail these on the article's talk page, where other editors will evaluate them and make any appropriate amendments to the article itself. Please bear in mind that the content of the article needs to be based on verifiable facts, and on critical opinions written by people independent of yourself that have appeared in reputable publications.
