User talk:Greglockard

Welcome!

Hello, Greglockard, 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. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The 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 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

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!

Additional guidance

Hi Greglockard, I also suggest reading this short essay along with Wikipedia's notability guidelines for creative professionals. Generally significant coverage (not just passing mentions) from at least three independent reliable sources is required. The NYT's article does not discuss Lockard (you?) at all, but rather the comic book. I wonder if the comic book would be a better subject for an article or perhaps at this time it is simply too soon. For example, articles on both Twitter and Facebook were deleted at least once (if not a few times) because they were not yet notable (in the Wikipedia sense). In any event, if you have questions or need help you can reach out to the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 17:00, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
