Hi, I am the subject of this wikipedia entry.
It reproduces - in good faith I’m sure - several inaccuracies contained in an article originally published by the Gibraltar magazine. I would like the chance to correct those inaccuracies. It also presents as fact statements which were the subjective view or opinion of the journalist who wrote the original article (M Brufal), and in several instances employs incorrect terminology. I would also like to correct those errors.
As a separate issue - As a frequent user of wiki myself I have to say the information contained in this page feels unusually rambling - as well as personal, intrusive and rather sexist. Why are my childcare arrangements relevant? They wouldn't be included if I were a male scriptwriter. The information was given to a group campaigning to make it easier for women to work in the industry. It was relevant in that context, but not I would argue, in this.
An earlier attempt to edit this page was over-turned. I’d be really grateful if I could be allowed to edit it again and for my amends to be taken seriously for the reasons given above.

Hi, Thanks for your guidance. I have done as you suggested but before attempting an edit I want to ask if an independent editor could review ref 1,( the article from the Gibraltar Magazine) to assess whether or not it can be considered a reliable source. The article is not dispassionate in tone, nor is it non-partisan. The Gibraltar Magazine is distributed in Gibraltar for locals and tourists. Its expressed aim is "to promote Gibraltar and its people". Statements such as she received "praise and accolades for some of her stories" is not substantiated and certainly not neutral. if I wrote it about myself it would quite rightly be considered self- promotion. Could someone independent review the article in question and decide whether it really can be considered a reliable source? Thanks.
