You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you.
The fact that someone else created the article does not change your position as the subject. You should desist from further embellishing the Charles E. Abramson article, and read the Wikipedia guidelines on autobiography. Austin46 (talk) 14:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
I contacted that person whom I thought started this article about me: She said that she only made some corrections, and shall review it again. I have removed inappropriate materials a couple of times. I have it to understand that I should enter any corrections and validations here (?) or under My talk (?). Tell me more. I'm enjoying this process a lot more than I understand it.
(Oct 2010) I still don't know who started this page, but no more inappropriate or false data has been edited in for some time. I have changed the tense to past on some activities.
(July 2011) I have entered two reappointments and a changed link to an existing source. More Later - @be (talk) 06:16, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
A belated welcome! edit
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, MontanaAbe. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
