Vanity Question

What are the rules regarding adding your own name to an article? I was one of the two listeners who was invited onto the programme in 2005; I was on Programme 5, and Jenny Murray (not the same Jenny who presents Woman's Hour) was on Programme 6. FWIW (and it probably isn't worth much), I have had 6 puzzles read out on Puzzle Panel, 4 of which were Panel Beaters.

You know what - I realise now that I never signed the above comment, making it hard for anyone to assess whether or not to include my name! Ho hum. Anyway, this is me: StephenBuxton ( talk) 18:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC) reply
Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines are here - I'd say you were fine. -- McGeddon ( talk) 13:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC) reply
Cheers for that - I first posted that about a year and a half ago - I have learnt more about Wikipedia's policies in the meantime. I (and Jenny) would class ourselves as non-notable people who have appeared on a notable programme. Even though I knew that, I still felt a little nervous about posting my name in an article... I guess today is the day to bite the bullet! StephenBuxton ( talk) 12:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC) reply
