== Proposed edits, from the subject of the article ==

I'm the subject of the Wikipedia article, "Merle Hazard." I am not disputing anything in the article, but I have a couple of things to add that I think would be an improvement. As the subject, I am not supposed to edit it myself, and have not done so. But maybe other editors will agree and take these up. (Btw, I've never edited Wikipedia before, so forgive my inexperience, if I'm missing something here in what I'm suggesting.) Here are the two edits I suggest for others. First, could you link to the list of alumni of The Harvard Lampoon? The article explains that I wrote for The Harvard Lampoon when I was in college ("I" being my legal name, Jonathan Shayne...Merle Hazard is the name I adopt when singing satirical country songs). That is accurate, about the Lampoon in college. But could someone link the Merle Hazard entry into the separate article titled "List of The Harvard Lampoon Members"? That would take the Merle Hazard page out of orphan status, plus, it's accurate. I think it would help the Merle Hazard article, at least, to have that link, and it would make the Lampoon's alum page more complete. Second, what is the best way to add a photo to the Merle Hazard article, if that's appropriate? There are some online already at https://www.merlehazard.com/Photo-Gallery.html, which are free to use for any good-fair purpose (like Wikipedia) as the MH site explains. I have full-resolution versions I can send in if that would help, but I don't know where to send or upload those. Again, I am a newbie at Wikipedia, so, forgive anything I'm misunderstanding.

Proposed edits, from the subject of the article

I'm the subject of the Wikipedia article, "Merle Hazard." I am not disputing anything in the article, but I have a couple of things to add that I think would be an improvement. As the subject, I am not supposed to edit it myself, and have not done so. But maybe other editors will agree and take these up. (Btw, I've never edited Wikipedia before, so forgive my inexperience, if I'm missing something here in what I'm suggesting.) Here are the two edits I suggest for others. First, could you link to the list of alumni of The Harvard Lampoon? The article explains that I wrote for The Harvard Lampoon when I was in college ("I" being my legal name, Jonathan Shayne...Merle Hazard is the name I adopt when singing satirical country songs). That is accurate, about the Lampoon in college. But could someone link the Merle Hazard entry into the separate article titled "List of The Harvard Lampoon Members"? That would take the Merle Hazard page out of orphan status, plus, it's accurate. I think it would help the Merle Hazard article, at least, to have that link, and it would make the Lampoon's alum page more complete.
