This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Welcome!

Hello, Atetelbaum, 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. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A 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 or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Hello, AntiDionysius,

Thank you so much for your warm welcome and thoughtful message! I truly appreciate your support, and yes, I’ve quickly learned that being a Wikipedian is no easy task.

I understand and agree that writing about oneself isn’t ideal. However, I find myself in a unique situation. A previous, very concise page about me was on Wikipedia starting in 2007 and remained there for 17 years without issue. I wasn’t the original submitter. Unfortunately, it was later removed, likely due to an alleged copyright violation, which I believe may have been an error. While this was disappointing, it also provides an opportunity to create a more polished and comprehensive page.

For now, I feel I’m the most informed person to draft this content, as I have the most accurate knowledge of my early years, private life, and contributions. Once the draft is in good shape, I hope you can advise me on how to transition the submission to another editor to avoid any potential conflict of interest.

I’d be grateful for your guidance on improving the draft. Unfortunately, when I first prepared it, I leaned heavily on ChatGPT advice, which resulted in overly embellished language—terms like “significant,” “breakthrough,” and “very important,” along with unnecessary compliments. These made the page overly promotional, which I now realize is not appropriate for Wikipedia.

Since then, I’ve been working to simplify the style, reduce the size, and focus on neutrality. I’ve already made several changes in this direction and will continue refining the submission to ensure it aligns with Wikipedia’s standards.

I would greatly value your insights on the current version and any suggestions you might have for further improvements. I’m eager to learn from your experience and collaborate to make the draft better.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to write to me and offer your guidance. I apologize for the length of this response, but I wanted to address everything thoughtfully.

Best regards,

Alexander

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Bonadea were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia.

This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Previous comments still apply. The "Early life and education", "Education", "Academic career", and "Corporate career" sections are unsourced (Linkedin is not a reliable source and cannot be used in a Wikipedia article). No part of the text could be used as it is entirely promotional and includes a lot of evaluative language. The "Awards" section is largely unsourced, and includes non-awards such as entries in various predatory "Who's who" publications. The list of publications has to be removed, since Wikipedia's purpose is not to host academic publications lists. "Personal life" is unsourced.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
