User talk:Elizabeth Avery Falkner

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Elizabeth Falkner. 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.

Greetings
Hi chef!

We've never met, but I've followed your exploits on TV and I have an incredible respect for you and what you do (I'd love to stage for you sometime...)

The text in the above section is basically talking about Wikipedia's conflict of interest rules(<-- click here for info), which basically say "Hey, if you have a significant connection to the article subject, probs not a great idea to be editing it."

Would love to get in touch with you.

 * Oh also, to respond just edit this page, I have it on my Watchlist, so I will see edits made here. The Potato Hose   ↘  00:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your messages. So, how do I submit new info/say a better picture of me for Wikipedia? Someone randomly posted the one that shows here on Elizabeth Falkner search. Thanks!!


 * Hi chef. Probably the first best thing for you to look at is here, which provides a summary of how to contribute to and improve articles about yourself or organizations you're involved with. The short version:
 * When it comes to adding information to the article about yourself, your best bet is to go to the talk page of the article. Click the 'new section' link at the top (the link might just be a + sign, depending on how you have set up your preferences), add a descriptive title (like 'Proposed edits'), and write down what changes you would like to see for the article. Please include links/information about reliable sources where this information can be found and verified. Other editors who watch the page will then comment and we will all work together to find solutions.
 * For a better picture of you, that's easy! Get a picture that you own the copyright to, and click here. Note that because of how Wikipedia licences content, you will be required to agree to let the picture be used in any way after being uploaded, so long as whoever uses the picture provides attribution of where it came from. If you don't personally own the copyright, I'm sure your agent has some good headshots. If you click here, you will find detailed instructions on how your representation can submit a picture with the permissions that Wikipedia requires for use. But if you took the picture yourself and it hasn't been published before, just upload it and follow the directions.
 * I hope that helps! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions. (And I am watching your article, so when you make proposals on the talkpage I will see them.) Cheers! — The Potato Hose 17:31, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
