Howdy, Thanks for your help. This article is about my dad. A few years before he died he self-published a book hoping to secure his place in history. Most of the information comes from this book. Again, I just want to say , "thanks". {[subst:unsigned|Gpoe|03:18, 7 July 2009}}
You are welcome, but you introduce some problems. First of all you have a conflict of interest. You will need to be extremely careful that all the information you put into the article is referenced with reliable sources. You can not put any information from your memory into the article, that would be considered original research.
Second, the information in a self published book can be considered as non-reliable. I would be careful about when information from the book is used as a reference. I would try to find other sources for most of the information in the article.
