It is not usually a good idea to try to edit material about yourself on this site - please see WP:AUTOBIO. I would like to take your edits in good faith - and where they resolve factual inaccuracies, I'm sure that most editors would accept them, while making some changes for style and so forth - but the addition of material about yourself will probably be removed, if it is not reliably sourced and not already published elsewhere. It's always best to discuss changes you would like to see, on the article talk page, rather than trying to make edits yourself which are quite likely to be removed. But, thank you for your involvement and your corrections. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:27, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

PS: We don't name non-notable children for privacy reasons, and it's also not a good idea to use words like "recently" or "now" in an encyclopedia entry as they will quickly become outdated. Thanks. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:13, 18 December 2021 (UTC)


 * If Carol Fischer Morell’s two non notable sons are named, then my son, who won an Emmy, can certainly be named. I understand that it’s best to not use contemporary terms like « recently » but since I am still alive, can it be said that I « moved to Italy to work on the biography etc”? Thank you.

 * Those are fair points. I confused your son with another Tony Mark, apparently in broadly the same line of work - my apologies.  I would have thought that an Emmy-winning director should have their own article, so I will try to look into that a little more.  Obviously inconsistencies arise when different editors work on different parts of an article, but I will try to make it more consistent.  Thanks very much for your input here.

Thank you very much. I was surprised myself to see that there is another Tony Mark working in the same field. In that case, it’s imperative that there be an article on my son ; he is also the co-founder of a film festival. If he can’t write about himself, who can?

 * If anything has been published about him in reliable sources, anyone who is unconnected to him should be able to do that. Again, it is not good practice for him to construct an article about himself, or indeed for a close relative such as yourself to do so - see our conflict of interest guidance.

Thank you for your guidance. I will let him know. Sgordonmark (talk) 13:48, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
