Are you, in fact, Miranda Grell or a relative? Your username has caused some concern. While it's OK to use your real name, "Grell family" implies a role account which we do not allow. Please respond, or we will have to block the account. Daniel Case (talk) 02:41, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear Daniel, I am Miranda Grell. I work with my family not in isolation. I am quite concerned that two new entries I made last Sunday to update my page and outline the continued support that I am still receiving from prominent members of Leyton, London and national politics has been removed. If Wikipedia is only going to write about me from a one-soded "she's guilty" basis then I would request that my page is removed completely. I will be emailing the editors of Wikipedia to request this if any of my changes are removed again. Miranda


 * Firstly, thanks for your honesty in disclosing who you are. I've removed the information you talk about above twice because your own personal website does not count as a reliable source and so unfortunately cannot be used as a source in the article. You should probably take a look at wikipedia's guidelines on editing articles with which you have a conflict of interest, this strongly discourages editing of articles that are about yourself. If you would like to change something in the article you should post on the articles talk page and then wait for other independent editors to make the edit if they think that it is appropriate. You can also add editrequest to alert others to your proposed edit. Also your article is very unlikely to be removed - you can't request that it is so. Wikipedia articles should only use reliable sources in the articles and report on what they say, unfortunately there may be information in these sources that the article's subject would prefer was not there. Please message me on my talk page or reply below if you have any questions or if I can help you at all. Thanks Smartse (talk) 20:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I forgot to mention that someone left a note on the conflict of interest noticeboard about the article here you are welcome to comment in the discussion. Smartse (talk) 20:39, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
