Huh, that's interesting. I thought that sure, you shouldn't edit an
article about yourself or something extremely close to you, but that we
were in a grey area regarding CoI.
I would have worked on this myself a while ago already, the thing is
that beyond the possible bias & CoI, it's just a lot of focused work
(so the problem for me is mainly time). But hey, if we can have
external folks edit those pages that's great, it needn't be
*specifically* the Wikimedia people, but getting wholly external folks
to "fix" those pages without actively asking them (thus potentially
biasing them) or creating a non-representative sample of contributors
(ex: asking p.g.o. readers to contribute) is tricky.
Arguably, on the (sub)issue of bias, anybody can be biased, including
external contributors, especially if they have an interest in making us
look bad (ie: the GNOME3 hatin' crowd).
