After a post here mentioned it, I went to WP:COI and WP:AUTO. These two articles seem to promote the view that you're not supposed to edit an article about yourself. However, WP:BLP seems to suggest that you can to remove libel or unsourced material, and it's a common refrain to complaints about Wikipedia, "why didn't you just fix the article yourself?"
A valid criticism.
I boldly added a Nutshell to AUTO:
[ This page in a nutshell: Avoid writing or editing an article about yourself, other than to correct errors of fact ]
Hopefully that will help move things in the direction of forwards.
