Nope[edit]

"Historian Greg Brooking is currently working on a cradle-to-grave biography of this important Southern Founder." is completely wrong, per Wikipedia policy, hence deleted. We do not add ourselves to articles. When you add content - WITH REFERENCES - the View history will show those edits as being attributed to your User name.

More Nope[edit]

At James Wright (governor), the ref states that Robert G. Brooking is the author of "Zeal...". so I do not understand why you changed that to your own name. David notMD (talk) 10:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am Robert G. Brooking; I jut go by Greg. Gregbrooking (talk) 11:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. As the reference has the author of Zeal as Robert G, best to leave it that way rather than changing to the name you go by. David notMD (talk) 20:13, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Going forward[edit]

I suggest you read Wikipedia:Expert editors and WP:SELFCITE. David notMD (talk) 20:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
