== This Wiki & authors ==
Hello!
If you are indeed [[Cody Quijano-Schell|Cody Schell]]… well, firstly, tis an honor to be trading words with you. But also, as a Wiki editor, I feel it is my duty to inform you that you really oughtn't edit pages about your own stories. It was decided by administrators (see [[User_talk:Rachel_Churcher#Authors_and_their_stories_on_the_wiki|this lengthy explanation]] on the talk page of [[Rachel Churcher]]'s Tardis Wiki account) that it is not proper for writers to edit pages about themselves or their works; in part due to the obvious conflict of interest that can arise, and in part due to a fear that an author is ''too'' familiar with the material they created, and that they might end up adding information to the Wiki pages which may have been their authorial intent but is not objectively present in the text of the stories.
I don't believe you are in any kind of ''trouble'' for the handful of edits you've performed, mind you (though as I'm not an administrator it's not officially my place to say). And your help on the Wiki is very much welcome.
Further, you will also see from the example of Rachel Churcher's own [[The Last Martian (short story)|Iris Wildthyme short story]] as discussed on the talk page I linked to, that if there are any details which you believe are missing from pages about yourself or your own works, you are encouraged to reach out via talk page to another, non-conflict-of-interested Tardis Wiki editor who can then perform the edits in your stead.
Good day, and best of luck in these trying times! --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:08, April 22, 2020 (UTC)
