Hello, Edhazer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Ways to improve Edward Ruthazer

edit

Hi, I'm JamesG5. Edhazer, thanks for creating Edward Ruthazer!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Uncategorized (see WP:CAT) autobiography. Has links inline in text instead of proper references, see WP:REFBEGIN. Should have an intro/lead followed by body. Questionable if article meets WP:GNG or WP:SCHOLAR without clear references & due to WP:COI.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Wikipedia & autobiographies

edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Edward Ruthazer. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – 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 an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its 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 my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Thanks JamesG5. I hadn't realized there was a policy discouraging autobiographical entries. I understand if the entry gets flagged. Sorry for the trouble. Best Edhazer (talk) 11:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)edhazer Edhazer (talk) 11:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
