Your autobiography
Mr. Gardner -- it's good to see you lending your able writing hand to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, writing an autobiographical entry as you did is strongly discouraged; you can see the official policy on such entries by clicking here. I'm not going to delete your edits, but don't be surprised if some more serious-minded Wikipedia editor comes along and does just that. I did, however, redirect the Gerald C. Gardner entry so it's just a redirect to Gerald Gardner (scriptwriter) entry, as the content was the same and by guidelines, you're entry should have however you're most commonly credited. If I might make a suggestion on how to get around Wikipedia's concern about conflict of interest and about the use of original research -- post your bio somewhere else, on a webpage somewhere. Then get someone friendly (but not a relative or someone you're in business with) to adapt your Wikipedia entry using your webpage as a reference. And if someone later edits some errors into your entry, don't fix them yourself - note them on the article's talk page. A little note that "I was not charged with eating seven babies in North Dakota in 1951. It was North Carolina." -- particularly if you can provide a link to a verifying source -- is likely to be seen by someone who will correct the entry for you.
