Autobiographies
Hi there, thanks for creating the article about Harold Thimbleby. Given your user name, however, this has caused some consternation! It is generally considered a bad idea to directly edit one's own article, as explained at Autobiography.

If you are indeed Prof Thimbleby (or related to him), thank you very much for kicking the article off, and may I suggest that you add further information (ideally links to published material or websites) on the article's discussion page? Someone like myself will then come along and use this to improve the article. This should be a good partnership, as you are more likely to know of published sources relating to yourself, and regular editors have a better idea of the usual style and content of Wikipedia biographies.

And if you have a photo of Harold Thimbleby we could include, we'd love it! You could upload it directly to the article, but it would be better to upload it to Wikipedia Commons, the central library shared by the different language Wikipedias.

If you have any questions about any of the above, or there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask at my talk page. Happy wiki-ing, JackyR | Talk 12:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
