Welcome!

Hello, Henk Borgdorff, 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. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The 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 it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

References

edit

Still not how to do references. References are inserted into the body of the article following the content they support. By bracketing the reference content in ref and ref/, with each inside < >, that process creates a superscripted ref number in the text and puts the ref content in the References section. Inserting more refs automatically renumbers. David notMD (talk) 22:42, 14 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • I and another editor have done some initial editing of the draft, removing unpublished work and making various corrections. If you edit it further yourself, dp mpt restpre this material. Rather, remember that an academic bio should:
An encyclopedia article is not a CV.  Make sure the article contains the full sequence of degrees and positions, with dates; a complete list of books published, with year, date, publisher, ISBN (referenced to WorldCat), and links to published reviews of them; and, (in the sciences)  the 5 most cited peer-reviewed articles, given in full with coauthors, full name of journals, and links, with the number of citations to each of them; any national level awards--(not junior awards or awards from their own university) Add major outside positions, such as president of major national organizations, and any positions of editor-in-chief ; Membership or minor offices in most societies, and service on editorial boards, do not count for much & are better omitted. Very sparse articles attract skepticism. as do those using vague claims and superlatives, or those that list all possible internal and external committes.

And you must not copy from anh previous page, even your own published bio, except as provided by WP:DCM. DGG ( talk ) 07:24, 19 February 2021 (UTC) .Reply

DGG ( talk ) Dear Editors, Thank you for your edits. If you allow me, I have replaced the heading ’Music teaching career’ with ’Academic career’, while from 2002 it involves research positions in Amsterdam. Gothenburg and Leiden. I noticed that at the end of the section Education, it says: [fact]. Should that stay there, or can I delete this? The article seems to me correct now. Can you tell me what the next step is?
