Dear Mr Amupanda,

as a high-ranking academic you surely know the role and purpose of Wikipedia: To collect the sum of all knowledge in the form of an encyclopedia. I am excited that you contribute to this noble effort. However, changing your own biography is regarded as bad style, and some of your self-assertions like "one of the the fearless voices advocating for changes" or "one of Namibia's sharp writers" cannot stand, not because they might be false but because they are your own observations and as such not formed independently of the subject. If someone else calls you that in a reputable publication, then it can be added, with a proper reference.

If you need help editing Wikipedia, particularly if you wish to expand your area of coverage into other Namibian topics--urgently needed to counter systemic bias and underrepresentation--you are welcome to ask questions here, or on my talk page. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 15:54, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
