Long distance rider Chris Bowen
Hi, if you can add some reliable sources to your new entry at List of long-distance motorcycle riders it would be great. Otherwise it's likely to get deleted. If you look at the article history, there's beena lot of vanity additions. — Brianhe (talk) 16:43, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Writing about oneself on Wikipedia
Hi, since you said "my movie or book" in your last edit summary, I'm taking that to mean that you are the subject himself. This puts you in a special situation Wikipedia-wise, which you are encouraged to disclose openly, please read WP:COI for details. If you do find reliable sources to add to articles about yourself, it is good practice to make a note on the article's talk page instead of directly editing the article. Other editors can then make a determination and add material to the article without exposing you to the perception of self-promotion. Good luck! — Brianhe (talk) 15:06, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

- Thank you Brianhe for taking the time to explain all this to me; I am new to this (as you probably guessed) but that's no excuse for not having researched procedures before jumping in blindly. I will do better next time :) Up The Junction 02:55, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
