Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I observe your recent edits to the article David Nutt and, from your account name, suppose that you are he. Thank you for making these corrections which seem quite proper and helpful. Please be aware, though, of our conflict of interest policy which discourages such actions lest they be thought to be self-serving and so contrary to our principle of neutrality. Even our founder, Jimmy Wales, has fallen foul of this policy due to its severity.

I started this article myself and so keep an eye on it using the watchlist feature. My first draft documented your status more accurately, it seems, and so some other editor must have introduced the misstatements which you have now corrected. I had noticed just the other day that the article stated that you were still on the Committee and knew this to be wrong. I thought to correct it then but did not have time and was diverted. Wikipedia is mostly a volunteer effort and so you get what you pay for, alas.

If you should need any assistance with this or other articles, please feel free to contact me. This may done by editing my talk page, which you will find in my signature, or by contacting me by email, using this email link.

If you wish to know more about the project, note that there is a conference at the British Museum next Friday/Saturday, which may be convenient. Both the founder and the executive director will be present and I expect that they would be delighted to meet an illustrious person like yourself to hear of your early experience and impressions. They are much concerned to ensure that we maintain biographies of living people well and so have a special interest in such cases. I would be happy to make an introduction.

yours sincerely,
