Hello
Hi there. Your username implies that you are the subject of this article, which can raise some issues as Wikipedia has some rules about editing your own articles, which you'll find here. Essentially, they state that you're not really meant to edit your own article so that impartiality can be maintained. As far as I'm concerned, if you're correcting factual errors or improving the English then it's not too much of a problem, so long as you don't write a massive self-aggrandising spiel. Having read your work for several years (being a dedicated Guardian reader) I think we can trust you not to do that.

If you're not Erwin James, then you'll need to change your username. You're not allowed to pretend to be somebody else; have a look here.

Enjoy! Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Chris 06:58, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
