You and your username
I see that your username is "MaggieGallagher1960", and that you are editing the article on Maggie Gallagher, who was born in 1960. This presents logically one of three possibilities: Whomever you are, I look forward to having you involved as a productive editor improving Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can post them on my user talk page - you'll find the link in my signature below. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:13, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) You are that Maggie Gallagher, and you are editing an article about yourself. In that case, you should review Wikipedia's guidelines on conflicts of interest. What you might find most effective in dealing with misstatements or other things that need addressing is to raise them on the article's talk page (go to the article page and click "Discussion" at the top.) This will bring your concerns to the attentions of the various editors who work on the page.
 * 2) You are a Maggie Gallagher but not that Maggie Gallagher, and are just showing an interest in someone of the same name. In that case, it would probably be a good idea to introduce yourself on the discussion page for the article and to create a user page for yourself stating that you are not that Maggie, to avoid confusion.
 * 3) You are not any Maggie Gallagher at all. If that's the case, you'll need to change your username, per Wikipedia's policy on use of real names.

talk in biographical article
Thank you for your contribution. However, your recent edit on Maggie Gallagher‎ inserted an editorial comment in an article; this is inconsistent with the Manual of Style, so I have removed it. Instead, begin a discussion on the article's talk page. If you are the article's subject, be especially careful about editing your article due to potential conflict of interest, non-neutral point of view, unverifiable original research and other concerns. See the Five Pillars for a synopsis of Wikipedia's purpose and philosophy.

I have been watching this article for many years, mostly to remove vandalism and unsourced facts: it seems to be a contentious subject which many people feel passionately about. I met Maggie several times in the 1960s at her Lakeview home—I was a close friend of her brother. Email me for more details. —EncMstr (talk) 16:47, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
