December 2018[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself. 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 the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 21:21, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (December 18)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LynxTufts was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not enough sources independent of the subject. LinkedIn is user generated and can't be used as a source. Also obviously a autobiography.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:AuthorKenStandfield/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:AuthorKenStandfield/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Thank you - updated as requested.

Question[edit]

Do you plan on contributing to this encyclopedia outside of attempting to publish your autobiography? --Kinu ^t/_c 23:36, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: Thank you for your question Kinu. This is my first article here, I plan on contributing to Wikipedia extensively and becoming a reviewer when I gain the required skills. I have no interest in self-promotion, I have just used approved living author formats so that this can get approved - I would appreciate your guidance on how to get this page approved. I will change (remove/add) anything required to progress past this page. I have made many contributions to knowledge and want to share them with the international community

Thank you for your response. In short, attempts to publish an autobiography are generally frowned upon. I feel that your energy would be better served in contributing to articles in your area of expertise. Perhaps some of your publications could be used as citations for/to expand related articles? A good place to begin would be to discuss such additions on article talk pages (to avoid the impression of conflict of interest). --Kinu ^t/_c 16:33, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Thank you Kinu, I will do so. Many thanks. AuthorKenStandfield (talk) 07:29, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

Wikipedia can NOT be the source, pls remove -see WP:CIRCULAR. LinkedIn is not an independent reliable source - pls remove. Sources needed should be independent which are published by reliable media. Pls see WP:NACADEMIC for notability requirements.
