Does that also imply that Brian Josephson should not be editing his own Wikipedia BLP? Should Galaxy Macau workers be editing the casino's Wikipedia article? Should City Of Dreams workers be editing the casino's Wikipedia article? Should IBM employees be editing the company's Wikipedia article? Should Northrop Grumman employees be editing the company's Wikipedia article? Should Korg employees be editing the company's Wikipedia article? Those are just examples I've run across recently. There are uncounted thousands more.

As usual, WMF and WP feel its many rules should apply fully only to OTHER people.
