Relating to this page -- it is an entry about myself -- and given what I can tell from the first signature entry it was drafted by a former colleague of mine from some years ago (Adamson) who clearly had access to my Curriculum Vitae but with whom I have had no contact for over a year. I was indeed surprised. When I heard that this Wiki entry was up, I naturally read it with curiosity, finding some minor errors which I then personally changed for factual accuracy. Given the concerns raised about the propriety of the article, please advise what is proper to do. Facts, citations, etc are all correct. DanielCarlTaylor (talk) 16:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daniel, As a general practice, the Wikipedia community frowns on autobiographical updates (see WP:COI). Looking forward, what I would recommend is that you note any inaccuracies/key updates from your perspective on this talk page, and leave it to editors who are following this page to make what they believe to be fair and accurate updates accordingly. I have no particular issues or concerns at this point. Anyone else watching this page care to comment? Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 18:54, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DA Sonnenfeld -- I very much appreciate the guidance, helps me along my learning curve -- and for the future will do as you advise and put personal related factual concerns on the talk page. As you can imagine, when I heard a wiki page had been put up, I immediately jumped to it wanting to get it right. At this point I have nothing more to say on that page, and will leave it to whatever editing others want to do. I shall turn to the substantive stuff on important content. Toward that I have broadened the discussion under the MDGs per your comments (which I appreciated as the community-based critique is much broader than the somewhat hasty entry I had made). Many thanks for all your help! DanielCarlTaylor 02:50, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
