As Matt Innis (our Chief Constable) has already informed you, we frown upon anyone writing or editing an article about themselves.

Also, if you want to include a footnote or a reference for one of your proposed edits to the [[Rudy Atallah]] article, please furnish the details of the footnote or reference ... rather than just "Insert footnote text here". Accordingly, I have removed reference 7 from the article. In any event, the slight edit that you made in the article really doesn't require a footnote or a reference. | |||

About your edit of Rudy Atallah
Hello, Rudolph:
First, let me welcome you to Citizendium and I hope that you will enjoy your work here.
As Matt Innis (our Chief Constable) has already informed you, we frown upon anyone writing or editing an article about themselves. That is why he asked you to offer any proposed edits to the Rudy Atallah article on the Talk page of that article (i.e., Talk:Rudy Atallah) where any of us could then consider whether or not to implement the edits that you propose.
Also, if you want to include a footnote or a reference for one of your proposed edits to the Rudy Atallah article, please furnish the details of the footnote or reference ... rather than just "Insert footnote text here". Accordingly, I have removed reference 7 from the article. In any event, the slight edit that you made in the article really doesn't require a footnote or a reference.
Further, the first sentence of the article reads "Rudy Atallah is the Africa Counterterrorism director at the US Department of Defense ....". From the biography on your user page, it appears that you have retired from that position, so I have changed the word "is" to "was".
Once again welcome from a fellow retiree. Regards, Milton Beychok 17:57, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
