User talk:BioMathScholar
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, BioMathScholar, 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:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Guidance for article subjects
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

- Hi Jimfbleak
- apologies for the multiple responses. As I am a complete newb in editing, I am not sure that sending an email from Outlook would reach you.
- One the one hand, the person I am proposing the wikipedia page about is one of the most prominent scholars in Mathematical Biology in the UK and globally. On the other hand, what you have received needs to be edited further but I cannot seem to find it in my "Contributions". Do I need to do something special or, simply, it takes some time before I am able to edit it again? BioMathScholar (talk) 19:56, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
