:Re the recent edit on [[Russell McGee]]: You certainly haven't been following the rules up until now, and technically speaking, since you aren't Krohn, you're arguably still committing plagiarism, per [[T:DON'T COPY]]. But this looks on the surface like a reasonable edit, modulo concerns about conflicts of interest and overly florid prose.

Self wikifying
Hi if you are the Russell McGee that has a page on this wiki, please note that Tardis:Valid sources states that authors, actors and other crew may not edit pages about themselves or their works. In addition, please note that Tardis:Username policy forbids the use of "sockpuppets".
We also have a rule against plagiarism; see Tardis:Plagiarism. Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 18:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
