Hi Maurice493, I saw your recent edits to the article Maurice LaMarche and they made me curious as to whether you are the subject of that article? I ask not only because I am a fan but also because if you are the subject of the article I would like to help you work through Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, including guidelines about Conflict of Interest and autobiographies. Many people who find they have an article about themselves and attempt to edit it, even if it is only to fix it to remove inaccuracies, find difficulties working within the Wikipedia system and soon become disenchanted with the entire project. It's sad but true so if you would like any help please let me know. If you're not the subject of the article and just happen to share the same name and a common interest then please disregard this message, but know that I'd still be happy to answer any questions for you since I've been around the proverbial Wikipedia block a few times. You can contact me by responding here, on my talk page or by using the "E-mail this user" feature in the toolbox. Happy editing. Stardust8212 12:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
