You will have no real final editorial control over the article's content, which means at some point it might include content that you disapprove of or which you feel might not otherwise be in your best interest. All content will be assessed in accordance with relevant Knowledge policies and guidelines and you will be, for the most part, expected to not directly edit the article yourself. You will also be expected to not try and get others to edit the article on your behalf except when doing so in accordance with relevant Knowledge policies and guidelines. This doesn't mean that you've got no options if you have concerns about the article, but it does mean that you'll generally be expected to use existing Knowledge processes and seek assistance from other Knowledge editors in trying to address them. I'm not trying to discourage you from trying to get a Knowledge article writen about you, and Gråbergs Gråa Sång is a very accomplished editor and I'm sure they wouldn't offer to write such an article if they thought it couldn't be done properly. You just need to make sure you understand all of this fine print before signing off on this because many people often only find out way too late that there can a downside to having an article written about them on Knowledge. --

Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them.

Thanks. The illustrator for "C is for

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! This is so great. I appreciate you. Yes, sorrel is delicious and Mas in Canada is grand!!! I will submit the image. I can share more about myself if allowed. Also, I was on

Also - I wanted to ask - If I want to share more about myself BIO, can I do it here? The pages my family moved here when I was 14 - I did along with a younger sister Yes...but my Mom moved to Canada 4 years before us to build get herself settled before sending for us.
