Frederic C. Hamilton
Firstly, if you're his business partner then you really shouldn't be editing the article at all, per Wikipedia's conflict of interest rules. Secondly, our articles must be referenced to reliable sources, meaning that nobody — not Mr. Hamilton, not you, not anybody else — has a right to post a version of the article that doesn't cite any proper references at all. Thirdly, our copyright rules are that Wikipedia has to be given the permission to repost previously published content — even if you have the permission to post it, Wikipedia still cannot keep it if we haven't been explicitly given written permission to carry it. And finally, sentences like "Fred knows how to consider the big picture at the same time he tackles the details, and it is this unique ability that has meaningfully changed every institution in which Fred has invested his time and energy.", just as an example, are not appropriate — our writing tone has to maintain a neutral point of view, and cannot get into subjective statements of opinion.

If the article needs to be updated or revised due to outdated or inaccurate content, we're more than happy to work with you to get it up to snuff — but the resulting article still has to follow our rules about content and formatting. You'd be much better off requesting the necessary changes on the article's talk page, so that an editor who knows how things work on here can assist in integrating them into the article properly.
