Welcome

Hello, Solar345, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Draft:Antano Solar John, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Help request

Timtrent, thank you for being courteous and educating me on the procedures of wikipedia. My effort in creating the page Antano Solar John is a continuation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bilby#Page_Deletion:_Antano_Solar. I understand that I am not supposed to create an article about me, myself, and hence I am expected to request someone in the community to do it. And that is what I believe I have done, if I am supposed to do it any other way, would appreciate your help in guiding me to do the same. Thanks in advance

If you want to request an article be written about Solar and do not want to do it yourself, please go to the Requested Articles page to request that someone write an article about you. While it is extremely discouraged to write an autobiography, it can be done, provided that all of the guidelines in the Golden Rule are adhered to. If you feel that you can maintain a neutral point of view when writing the page, then please use the Article Wizard to create a draft, which will be reviewed by experienced editors. As a note, when you make a comment on a talk page (such as here), you should sign your posts with ~~~~, which will automatically add your name (so that people know who wrote the comment). If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 20:59, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Personally I'd advise you not to get involved in writing an article about yourself on Wikipedia at all; if you meet Wikipedia's standards of notability sooner or later an editor not associated with you will decide to write about you on their own. If you do want to work on an autobiography, submitting it for a review by an uninvolved editor as you did is helpful. At a glance I don't see that the references cited in your draft provide the significant third-party coverage of you we need to establish notability; those I checked were only passing mentions or interviews that aren't independent coverage.

Hello, Solar345. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:17, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
