With all respect, I don't think one should create or edit articles about themselves or their loved ones, no matter how important they are.

Those articles should be written by someone else.

I don't mean I personally did it, I just offered what I could for news articles at the time for a page that had been up and then got removed for not being noteworthy enough. And then I think the authors argued amongst themselves about what constituted relevancy.

Regardless, the barrier to entry seemed unnecessarily high at the time.
