A glance at the edit history reveals that a red linked user named "daskren" has been editing this article since 2008. This is a violation of Wikipedia policy. I'm not going to put a conflict of interest template on the article because there isn't enough material to warrant much editing. But it's important to read, among other parts of Wikipedia documentation, Autobiography, Conflict of interest, Biographies of living persons, and What Wikipedia is not. Here is the beginning of the Autobiography article:
"Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is an example of conflict of interest editing and is strongly discouraged. Editing a biography about yourself is acceptable only if you are removing unambiguous vandalism or clear-cut and serious violations of our biography of living persons policy. Wikipedia has gone through many prolonged disputes about the significance, factual accuracy, and neutrality of such articles. Avoiding such editing keeps Wikipedia neutral and helps avoid pushing a particular point of view. Writing autobiographies is discouraged because it is difficult to write a neutral, verifiable autobiography, and there are many pitfalls." Vmavanti (talk) 18:39, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
