Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Peterjuhan, 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:

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.

Autobiography

[edit]

What you know to be true about yourself does not count. Listing accomplishments is allowed content, but does not establish Wikipedia-notability. For a living person, almost every fact about you must be verified by published content created by people who have no connection to you. Interviews do not count, nor press releases. See WP:42.

Wikipedia is not social media. People do not have "their own wikipedia pages." Instead, there are articles about people, with the subjects having little to no control over content, as long as content is properly referenced. Also, you describe the photo as "Own work", but unless you set up a camera to take that photo, it is not "Own work." David notMD (talk) 15:40, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

August 2024

[edit]

Information icon 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, at Draft:Peter Juhan. 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.

If you decide you want the draft deleted, put Db-author inside double curly brackets {{ }} at the top. Or else abandon it and it will be deleted at six monthss. David notMD (talk) 23:21, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
