  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. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:02, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate the input and am aware of the guidelines. I concur with goal of encyclopedic principles in objectivity. When this was first written, a similar admonition was given and I removed the offering. However, another editor (please see comment by Pigsonthewing, in the thread below) encouraged me to resubmit, after adding more citations and uploading one my renderings to the Wikimedia commons gallery. Still, I welcome any edits to refine that goal of objectivity. In the event the article is not approved, I will likely not pursue the matter further. Thank you.
