Welcome!

Hello, Treepak411, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A 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.

If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk 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
• Guidance for article subjects

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! —C.Fred (talk) 03:14, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello C. Fred —I cannot say how appreciative I am even for your support. I understand the crucial point of requiring notoriety in order to obtain/hold an article. If I can say for a moment that I am an emerging artist seeking a platform and I was told by my mentor to advocate for myself and see about a Wiki Article. My parents were also on Wife Swap (Spolansky/Bradley) and my oldest brother (Griffin Spolansky) just got Forbes 30 under 30 I’m 2022 as he is a prominent businessman, all I’m saying is I would greatly appreciate this opportunity and your grace. I am not doing this for the sake of it — this is genuinely something that I cherish and it doesn’t need to be long or even a paragraph just something''

thank you so much and respectfully

@Treepak411 Note: Wikipedia is looking for what is called notability. Notoriety is something slightly different. David10244 (talk) 04:29, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Treepak411! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 03:21, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

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 Wikipedians with articles). 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.

Advice

Hi, I'm Ritchie333, and an admin and regular editor on Wikipedia. I'm also a musician, and have recorded a few albums when I was a lot longer, although these days I tend to focus on playing at weddings and birthday parties. However, I've never sought out wanting to create a Wikipedia article about any of that, and I'm not sure anyone else should.

You mention above "I was told by my mentor for myself and see about a Wiki article". I think you're confusing two things - firstly, Wikipedia, which is a general-purpose encyclopedia, and secondly, the concept of a Wiki generally, which is a simply a site of user-generated content.

You shouldn't cherish for anything on here, or at least for anything directly related to yourself. It probably isn't what you want, and it probably isn't anything that would create any importance either. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:19, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Lawson Spolansky

Hello, Treepak411. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Lawson Spolansky, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 15:01, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Draft:Lawson Spolansky

If this was the first article that you 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, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Draft:Lawson Spolansky, a page that you created, has been deleted. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. As the page met any of these strictly-defined criteria, it was deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been deleted are:

• It appeared to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
• It seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
