Hi Alexandre, Thanks for sharing your op-ed and for requesting comments.
When I read your article I am concerned about this statement: "Some advice for Olivia Colman: rather than “sending an e-mail to Wikipedia”, she can edit Wikipedia herself, like everyone else". That comes across to me as encouraging violation of English Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guideline <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest>. Can you explain why you encouraged directly editing Wikipedia instead of placing an edit request on the talk page or sending an email to OTRS?
