June 2023

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, at User:CarolineLBoff. 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. —Alalch E. 02:11, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Alalch, Good to hear from you. OK but how do I create a Wikipedia page about myself without it being an autobiography? I really appreciate your help and I look forward to hearing from you. With Kindest Regards, Caroline Boff CarolineLBoff (talk) 02:22, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Caroline. Hope you're doing great. In theory, it would be appropriate to disclose your conflict of interest with respect to the topic (yourself), then create an article draft and submit it through the Articles for creation process. However, any Wikipedia page that you would create about yourself would always be exactly an autobiography, and creating an autobiography always remains strongly discouraged (as pointed out above), so the chances of this effort producing an actual Wikipedia article are negligible. Not worth your time. Sincerely—Alalch E. 02:32, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --CarolineLBoff (talk) 02:16, 19 June 2023 (UTC) it is a biography, accurate and factual. It is to the point and all of the photos are my own copyright. I am Caroline Louise Boff from and in the UK and my website is www.carolineboff.co.uk for further information about me. I highly contest this as I am notable and I do hold an important role in the art world.

Your user page is meant to tell us a bit about yourself as a Wikipedia editor, and what you do in terns of editing Wikipedia. It is not a space for you to draft an article. I have moved it to your sandbox rather than delete it. Please note the message above about writing an autobiography. It is highly discouraged. -- Whpq (talk) 02:26, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

I have moved it to draft space—Draft:Caroline Boff.—Alalch E. 03:00, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi again Alalch, Good to hear from you again. What about if someone else wants to write about me on Wikipedia? With Kindest Regards, Caroline CarolineLBoff (talk) 03:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

That would be amazing, one could only hope that someone would want to write an encyclopedia article about them of their own free will, with no quid pro quo (in every possible sense, not just monetary). Rarely happens to an individual. Friendly regards—Alalch E. 03:28, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
