Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at User:DavidJKrieger/sandbox. 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. 331dot (talk) 14:21, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

I would add to the above message that, if you still decide to write an article about yourself, writing it as a draft first is the correct thing to do. In writing it, you will need to write it as if you know nothing about yourself, and write it based only on what independent reliable sources state about you. I would then suggest that you submit the page for an independent review using Articles for Creation. 331dot (talk) 14:22, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
