Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself, at User:EricCharlesLindstrom/sandbox. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please 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 Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's 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 the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

 * So, I would need to 1) wait for someone to consider me worthy; 2) ask someone to create the page I just started? As the Executive Director of the nation's oldest animal rights organization and author of two best-selling books, I was hoping to have my page up so we could link from the other sources. If this goes against Wikipedia's policies (for me to start my own page), then I will likely ask a staff member to start it.
 * Thank you! EricCharlesLindstrom (talk) 13:55, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Yes
 * 2) No. (WP:PAID applies)
 * Policies are applicable to anyone, including self-proclaimed "best-selling authors". Asking your staff to write an article about you flies in the face of the terms of use and given this conversation, could get you (and your staff member) banned. Kleuske (talk) 13:59, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Wow! I had no idea! Thanks for letting me know. EricCharlesLindstrom (talk) 14:00, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. Kleuske (talk) 14:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
