  Hello, Gael Clavis Johnson. This is your user talk page; the purpose of this page is for notification and communication with other Wikipedia editors. It is not a workspace for articles in progress or self-promotion. Please use your user sandbox or the draft article space to practice editing or create new articles. Thank you.

Writing about yourself

edit

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. Writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have individual user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to work on the encyclopedia. Limited autobiographical information is allowed, but user pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you want to post your résumé or make a personal webpage, please use one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account. The focus of user pages should not be social networking or amusement, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration. Humorous pages that refer to Wikipedia in some way may be created in an appropriate namespace. Personal web pages are often speedily deleted."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction, as well as Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:23, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion

edit

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (It's about my short biography) --Gael Clavis Johnson (talk) 12:29, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

As explained above, userpages are not articles, and should not be styled to look like articles (for example, you don't include citations). They are brief pages to write a small amount of personal info, as well as your interests and goals as a Wikipedia editor. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:38, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

So your major problem is my citations? Gael Clavis Johnson (talk) 12:41, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. Stop writing about yourself on your user page, it's for your activities on Wikipedia, not self-promotion Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:43, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Jimfbleak. I got your point. Perhaps I need an advise. How can I use this space for my autobiography? What should I or not talk about here in? Gael Clavis Johnson (talk) 13:52, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:User pages has a detailed explanation of what is and what is not permitted on userpages. Also, if you haven't done so already, it would be beneficial for you to review Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. These guides should help you create a userpage that stays within the intended purpose, and avoid writing content that appears to be unduly self-serving. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:12, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Understood, Drm310! Thanks for your time. Gael Clavis Johnson (talk) 15:16, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
