The Daniel C. Boyer bandwagon is getting a bit out of control. Daniel is
a
user on wiki who has an article about himself on wiki. While that seems
OK
as he is a real if rather minor celebrity and artist, his articles
relating
to himself are breeding like rabbits.

I fail to see the problem. Wikipedia is meant to be a universal encyclopedia.
Once Daniel don't interpret universal as universally about him! :-)

I'm very reluctant to say or do anything 'policy-like' about this.
There's no article about me in the encyclopedia, nor should there be, I think. There is an article about 'Bomis', but I wouldn't presume to edit it myself. Both of those are arguably special cases, given the relationship to Wikipedia, but even so, it's really a matter of good taste to me.
Perhaps Daniel could be gently (*gently*) persuaded that whatever the merits of this on other grounds, it is a social faux pas to write about yourself.
