User talk:Dr. SMH Time

Welcome
Greetings Dr. Hitchcock, and welcome to Wikipedia! It sounds like with your knowledge and experience, there's a lot you could contribute to Wikipedia. If you want to look at articles related to your background and experience, maybe you might want to look at or join WikiProject Physics, the Physics section, the WikiProject for articles on Michigan? Let me know if you have any questions.

However, I'm sorry but what you've created is an article on you, which isn't quite right for Wikipedia - it's not really a site for writing about yourself but about things you know about. Here's a link to the policy on this. Maybe you want to put this content on your user page, or on another website, like LinkedIn? I'm going to put a standard explanation of this below. Let me know if you have any questions. Blythwood (talk) 23:58, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, Dr. SMH Time, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Scott M. Hitchcock, 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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Blythwood (talk) 23:57, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Scott M. Hitchcock


A tag has been placed on Scott M. Hitchcock requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of Scott M. Hitchcock
Hello Dr. SMH Time,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Scott M. Hitchcock for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Blythwood (talk) 23:59, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
