I'm Fiona Brinkman. As you'll notice, I'm very new to wiki editing and I appreciate any help/advice for the best way to deal with my questions: I have learned, after editing this page, that I shouldn't be editing any page about myself. Sorry about this lack of understanding, but I am now wondering how I should best correct this? Should I just undo the corrections/material I added? I tried to login to my originally created FionaBrinkman account to get the contact info for the person who had helpfully mentioned this, but found I couldn't login. I've now created a new fionabrinkman2 account and hopefully through this I can help fix this. For now I'll just assume that I should just undo my entries here and focus on helping to improve other sections relevant to my research which could benefit from some cleaning up. If there is any way I can find out if there were any other comments on my other fionabrinkman account that I can access/be made aware of, I appreciate any advice. Sorry if this is completely the wrong place to mention any of this!

No, this is the perfect place for this. The best way to have an article about yourself fixed / corrected is to place a note on the talk page (ie here) and let someone else make the actual change. The contributions on your old account can be seen
here, although I don't see anything of concern there. Cheers

None of the claimed awards seem to be ref'd with
WP:RS, in fact there are really none for much of the article (like personal information), though some of the technical aspects are referenced using her own publications. It's not clear that her accomplishments are much more than those of a typical academic, so it would be good to add more claims of notability, if such exist, otherwise the article should perhaps be tagged. Respectfully,
