  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively you may add {{Db-u1}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline. It looks like a social media personal page. In light of your other edits, gives a promotional feel to your edits. Dlohcierekim (talk) 22:41, 16 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a free webhosting service. Wikipedia is not a place to post personal content, host personal websites, or do things that are not directly related to adding to or improving the encyclopedia. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you.

  Hello, I'm Dlohcierekim. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Foundling Hospital have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:20, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion

edit

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (everything is correct and there are no copyright issues) --Angienorthey (talk) 19:28, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yeah no. Copyright or correctness are not the issues. The issue is user page content. Right now, in light of your other edits, it looks promotional. Please do read and follow the links in the deletion notice I placed earlier. There is content we may not have on user pages.Dlohcierekim (talk) 20:07, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
correction. please read Wikipedia:User_pages#What_may_I_not_have_in_my_user_pages.3F. Thanks, Dlohcierekim (talk) 20:08, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Writing about yourself

edit

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. Writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have individual user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to work on the encyclopedia. Limited autobiographical information is allowed, but user pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you want to post your résumé or make a personal webpage, please use one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account. The focus of user pages should not be social networking or amusement, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration. Humorous pages that refer to Wikipedia in some way may be created in an appropriate namespace. Personal web pages are often speedily deleted."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction, as well as Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:51, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
