Autobiography?

[edit]

Almost all of the early edits to the article were by an account with the same name as the subject. Also, recently IPs (probably one person with a changing address) are slowly developing this page over months. I'm pretty new (but not as new as my history implies) but this looks like the editting pattern of someone here to promote. 165.214.12.70 (talk) 16:15, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I retired from Wikipedia sometime back, but do edits without commitment. I found this page and did my best. If you feel that is promotional, please restructure the content rather than expecting someone else to do it.61.245.172.54 (talk) 01:52, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
