Your request for assistance to create an article
editHello, Natalie. You left the following message on my Talk page, which I thought it easiest for you if we respond to here on your own Talk page, and not by email. HELLO NICK!!!! I am new on Wikipedia and pretty sure you are the best editor to support me in creating a new article. In your description you told you would love to work with woman and write a woman's biography. That's really perfect to me !!!I would appreciate if you could write me an E-Mail to : nataliemunchen@hotmail.de Gonna update you with futher details. Thanks in advance.
I appreciate the invitation that you left for me and two other editors to help you create a Wikipedia page on a female living person. I'm guessing that it would be about yourself (i.e. "a professional female Actor [who] speaks fluent German, English and Russian, and some Polish, French, Arabic and Spanish")? I am always willing to give my time to assist committed editors who genuinely need help and guidance to improve their editing skills. And women really are grossly under-represented here, both as editors who create content, and as subjects in their own right. However, I don't sense from your contributions so far that you've made that commitment to Wikipedia yet, nor would I directly create that page for you. I believe in supporting others to help themselves. So, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
- Is the person notable by Wikipedia's criteria? (See WP:NBIO or WP:NACTRESS) If not forget it - it may simply be WP:TOOSOON in their career.
- Are there suitable reliable sources that are totally independent of the subject that have covered her in depth? They can be online or in book/magazine form. If not forget it.
- Is the article about yourself?
- Are you interested in learning how to edit Wikipedia yourself, and are willing to read our introductory guidance pages (Wikipedia:Introduction), or to try The Wikipedia Adventure which is an interactive tour to help you understand the basics? If not forget it.
If you'd then like to tell me a little more about the person you would like be written about, and simply paste in a few urls to point me towards the sources needed to prove 'notability', that'd be a great help. Note that IMDB is not regarded as a reliable source, and that Wikipedia isn't here to promote the profiles of people - only to summarise and present what has already been written or said about them in publicly available form. When you reply, please do so by beginning your response {{ping|NickMoyes}}
and then sign it at the end very simply by typing four keyboard tilde characters (like this: ~~~~). This then ensures I get an automatic notification of your reply. There's more in our tutorials about communicating between editors and creating a userpage for yourself, as well as writing your first article. Let me know how you get on.

Hello Nick, I hope you can read this message. Thank you so much for the answer on my questions, greatly appreciated your advices!!! Wikipedia is really difficult to me, so I wasn't even logged in since the time I wrote you. My Name is Nataliya Stefanac. I am German Actress and Model and Dancer. I was playing even in two Hollywood films. Wikipedia publishing is really important for my future career development. You can find a lot of information about myself in Google, as well as in some newspapers. Really need your professional advice how to create a good article. Maybe you know someone who can write it about myself? Thank you so much in advance.
Kind Regards

- Hi again Natalie. No, I'm afraid you did not ping me correctly because you didn't understand you needed to remove the words commands for code and nowiki in bent brackets <> either side of the important bit that would have sent me a notification. Those commands in bent brackets deactivate the command, and simply let me display the text you needed. By including them, you stopped it working, but never mind; I'm here now.
- You say
" Wikipedia publishing is really important for my future career development"
. But this is the problem. Wikipedia is not here to help people further their careers. If your career hasn't yet developed enough that two or three independent, reliable sources (books/magazines/newspapers) have written about you in depth, then I'm afraid you don't yet meet our notability criteria. You will simply have to wait until you do, and then maybe someone else other than you will take it upon themselves to create that page. I am not willing to wade through Google searches to look for you, but if you would first read our notability criteria at WP:NBIO or WP:NACTRESS and would then like to link to the sources you feel demonstrate that you actually do meet them, I will be happy to take a look and offer you my opinion. That is probably the best anyone can do here for you right now. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 13:48, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
