New article
Hello

I have just edited an entry on my father Gordon Savage (Bishop) as the existing stub was incomplete and incorrect.

I realise there is a conflict of interest and have cited a reference for every assertion I make with reference to newspaper articles from the period. I have used the cuttings from 1970, which I have kept, and been unable to add an URL as I have no access to digital newspapers.

I would be grateful if anyone has the time to check and confirm that the article is valid even though there is conflict of interest. Nothing in it is unsourced. And would also be grateful for any stylistic corrections to the text or sources.

With thanks, Liz

 * As long as you put the COI declaration on your user page and the article's talk page it shouldn't be a problem. You could help other editors by putting scans of the clippings in a public image collection (e.g. Flickr). --Salimfadhley (talk) 10:02, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, Liz, I'm afraid is completely wrong about that. It is very unlikely that a newspaper publisher would give copyright release for its articles to be posted to a website in the way that Salimfadhley has suggested, and Wikipedia policy is absolutely clear: linking to copyright-infringing on other sites is not acceptable. There are some other things I would like to mention in the hope they may be helpful to you, but at present I don't have time to deal with them, so I'll try to come back.JBW (talk) 10:16, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, is correct. Please disregard my comments. If you provide correct citations it should allow other Wikipedia editors to verify the article. COI editing is a potentially problematic issue, but if you make open declarations about your connection with the subject it should reduce any concerns that other editors may have. --Salimfadhley (talk) 13:05, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear Salimfadhley and JBW thanks for your comments. I'll put something on my user page and explain about the sources.
