I see you have edited John S. Duncan and from your username I guess you are the same. You may be interested in our policies on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Don't let those last two put you off contributing to WP, but take care. You may wish to review two aspects of the John S. Duncan article. First is giving a full date of birth, which raises privacy and potential identity theft issues. Perhaps that information is already widely known, but you could play safe by just including the year. Second, the information about both children is likely to date quickly (their ages and current occupation). You may consider dropping the ages and just listing what they have done rather than are currently doing.
If you are indeed John S. Duncan, may I warmly encourage you to extend your editing elsewhere on WP. It takes a while to get up to speed on policies and guidelines (you mustn't just add content from your own personal knowledge for example--it needs to be sourced to published reliable sources) but it can be fun and the audience figures are higher than just about anywhere else.
If you need any help or want to discuss editing on WP further, post a message on my talk page. Cheers, Colin° Talk 17:20, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
