JethroBT ~ I am idly curious what you consider an "unreliable" reference? Ancestry.com? Google? or maybe you consider Wikipedia itself to be unreliable!!! hahahahahahaha

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. noq (talk) 18:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Your contributed article, "do a bush"

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, "do a bush". First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - George W. Bush. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at George W. Bush - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Gurt Posh (talk) 00:23, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

The United Hospital Fund page you created

Hello. I just noticed that you created a page for the United Hospital Fund (UHF). It seems to me that what you have put together there is an accurate description of the “Hospital Day” charity movement of the 19th century but not of the United Hospital Fund per se. (For instance, I don’t believe Jesup and Vanderbilt were involved with the Fund, and the Fund never “spread out” across the country; its primary focus has always been New York.) I have put some notes to this effect on the article’s talk page, and I will soon be suggesting some language that more accurately describes UHF’s current status as a nonprofit health policy research organization. (DISCLOSURE: I work at the United Hospital Fund. See my user page for more.)

Thanks. Looking forward to working with you and the WP community on this. Miles at UHF (talk) 19:13, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
