[edit] Adding an Article About One's Self

Hi there. I have no way of knowing for sure if you, having named your Wikipedia user account as "IanHarvie," are, in fact, the performer Ian Harvie; if you are not, please disregard this comment. If, however, you ARE, please note: your entry of the article Ian Harvie is very flawed and, as a rule, is really not allowed. It is hugely frowned upon for people to create and/or edit an article about themselves. A Wikipedia article also must be sourced and referenced, and unfortunately "I know it's fact because it's about me" doesn't really qualify. I am doing some major chopping and editing of your article, and it is now up to the users of Wikipedia to decide what to do with it, but if you are, in fact, Ian Harvie, please refrain from editing the article in the future.
