User talk:Dolensek

Welcome
Hello, Dolensek, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was User:Dolensek/Dr. Emil P. Dolensek, which appears to be an article about yourself. This 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.

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! SarahStierch (talk) 05:21, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at User:Dolensek/Dr. Emil P. Dolensek. 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.

Hi, Sarah: The article I submitted was not about myself, but about my late husband, who was a prominent zoo veterinarian. Please read the article, not just the name at the top, and you will see that my article is suitable for Wikipedia. Dolensek (talk) 13:05, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
