Autobiography - always a bad idea

edit

  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.

Dear girl, I know exactly where Jellico is (I'm from Deanburg myself). And you do not want to embarass yourself by submitting what you have written in your sandbox. You would be shamed, scolded and sneered at for what looks like particularly gushy advertising copy. I'm not being mean or gatekeeping, I'm actually trying to help. Look at an article like Jessamyn West or Jim Butcher for an idea of what a good author article looks like: impartial, objective, based exclusively on published content from neutral third-party sources. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
