User talk:Alexanovatv

Welcome!
Hello, Alexanovatv, 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: 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 Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

I realize it's looked down upon to write an auto-biography, but I am a notable adult film performer though. I was just getting started writing, was nowhere near close to the completion and I would have loved to have someone else step in to edit or adjust things once I had the framework set up at least. Why do I just get instantly deleted without any chance of revising my article? I didn't submit it because it wasn't anywhere near ready. I rewrote some things someone who had wrote a biography about me had said, so that's probably why you felt it was vain. But I am honestly trying to have an non-bias article overall. I do have plenty of notability links/references. I didn't list all in my first draft at all. Could you revive the page so I could keep working on it? Alexanovatv (talk) 22:45, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

More
Thanks for message. I've already mentioned your obvious conflict of interest, please also read the further guidance below:
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * Your sources are, on the whole, not apropriate, including interviews with you, and sources like iafd.com, although that would be OK for uncontentious facts like height etc.
 * Your AVN and XBIZ nominations (but not Spank Bank) may make you notable enough for an article, but they are not mentioned in the text and they need referencing to the awarding bodies.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. I've seen worse, but gained a global following is always going to look promotional, as does referring to yourself by your first name, and self-quoting
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * I haven't checked, but if the image you used has been published elsewhere, even on your own websites, that will be problematic, since it will be treated as a copyright violation, because very few websites are explicitly public domain or have a CC BY-SA 3.0 Licence. Someone will check at some stage, so if there is a problem you should replace it with an unpublished image.

As I said, I've seen worse, and there is some evidence of notability as defined above. Please check that you can find independent third party sources, which will be required. Let me know if you still wish me to restore the draft, and I will then do so Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:08, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Even more
You could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created, but you could wait for ever. Don't be tempted to edit from a different account or pay someone to write about you, both could get you blocked.

It's hard to pick a model article, Jenna Jameson used to be our most polished adult entertainer article, although it's deteriorated in recent times. Articles can't stay as drafts indefinitely, and because of your COI you will have to submit it for review rather than move it to an article yourself.

I raised a query about the image you used, that you haven't mentioned.

I'll shortly restore the draft, and make some edits to it. Take your time on improving it, an autobiography has to be as objective as possible to get through. If you want me to take a look at any stage, just ask Jimfbleak - talk to me?  19:31, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I made a few changes Jimfbleak - talk to me?  19:45, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I've left the references for now, but as I said you need better sources, especially for the award nominations which I think are needed to establish whether you meet our notability criteria Jimfbleak - talk to me?  21:51, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Images are a nightmare because of our requirement that they can be used for any purpose, including commercial. The only major publisher in the world that allows that is the US federal government. Anything else has to be explicitly licensed as free to use for any purpose by the copyright holder, usually the photographer. That's why most images here are self-make by the editor, and why you can't use an image that is already on the internet since they almost never have explicit PD or Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported licences, and what we see on the web page (or magazine or book) will take priority over what anyone claims, however plausible that claim might be. That's also why most of our images of actors in any genre are taken by wiki-editors at film openings or conventions rather that professional shoots, which are never PD.


 * On the references front, do what you can, if you can't get a link to the nominating body find a report of the award basically anywhere except your own pages. The fact is unlikely to be challenged, but biographies of living people must have the facts referenced, for obvious legal reasons. Incidentally, I imagine that you have probably realised that the delay in my replying to your posts is largely down to an 8-hour difference in time zones! Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:58, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added a few links to performers and companies where there are existing Wikipedia articles, you might find some more. I've removed the little summary table which made it look messy and adds little, If you really want a summary, better to add a sentence before the main tables. I think it looks OK, and I'm impressed that you have mastered the tables so quickly, but at some stage you will need to submit it for review and see what happens.
