User talk:Higx13

Welcome!

Hello, Higx13, 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:

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!

Impersonation

Based on your username, either you are Chris Higgins, in which case you should not be editing your own biography here at Wikipedia, or you are not Chris Higgins, in which case your username is a username policy violation because it impersonates a notable person. Please let us know which is the case. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:25, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

thank you for this info. I was unaware that I might be violating any policies. I apologize if I have crossed a line.

Yes I am Chris Higgins

No, I did not create the page in question. I simply created an account in order to make a couple updates. Everything that I've added is factual and I've tried my hardest to make citations

You might do well to declare your conflict of interest on your user page. (The template {{UserboxCOI}} can be used for this purpose.)

As for the edits on your biography page, specifically the addition of work with Wank and Sleeping Dogs, we may differ on the definition of "factual". My edits have toned down some of the bigger pieces of puffery and removed a bunch of inappropriate external links (see WP:EL) and unverifiable predictions of future events while leaving the facts intact.
