Saundra monterroso, you are invited to the Co-op!

Hi there! Saundra monterroso, you are invited to The Co-op, a gathering place for editors where you can find mentors to help you build and improve Wikipedia. If you're looking for an editor who can help you out, please join us!

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Sandra Monterroso. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – 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 Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its 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 my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Follow-up on mentorship

Hi Sandra-- I'm Jethro, a coordinator at The Co-op. I posted the message above about avoiding autobiographical writing on Wikipedia. The advice I give to people who start autobiographical articles on Wikipedia is that they should stick to the talk page and request that others help them build the article by providing high quality sources instead of writing because they have a conflict of interest in building this article. In terms of mentoring, if there was a different topic, one that you are not professionally associated with, that you wanted to write about, I'm happy to find a mentor for you. Let me know what your plans are, and you can reply back below. Thanks, I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 20:55, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
