  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 09:54, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for visting the Wikipedia page that I wrote about Steven S. Andrews. You are correct that it is about myself, so yes, there is a conflict of interest. However, I have authored or co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed research papers, along with a commercially published textbook, so I believe that a Wikipedia page is appropriate for me. I was careful to keep the text as objective as possible, to reference statements liberally, and to keep the style similar to that of existing Wikipedia pages for comparable scientists. Given that, I am hoping that the page can be kept on Wikipedia and also that someone can remove the conflict of interest tag. Steven.s.andrews (talk) 16:38, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
