November 2013
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

That said, the page seems quite neutral, just letting you know about the policy. I removed a few Drs and Professors because on WP we don't use them all the time. Also changed 'Thalia' to 'Eley', per WP: Manual of Style. 220 of Borg 20:34, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your message and the edits.
- A volunteer from Wikimedia UK who helped coordinate the event at which this page was created said it was fine for me to edit these as I am not related to their research teams.
