User talk:Ewagmeister

June 2016
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Elizabeth Wagmeister. 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) 08:59, 2 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Please note that writing about yourself is discouraged but not prohibited, and you may ignore this message with impunity.


 * I particularly dislike this boilerplate as it's only used for editors who openly admit to writing about themselves. We ought to be thanking people like Ms. Wagmeister for disclosing their conflicts rather than covering their talk pages with rubber-stamped polemics. As far as COI editing goes, this is some of the least offensive I've seen in awhile: it's clear she made a good-faith effort to write an article, not a promo piece. Also, the "someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later" bit overlooks the under-representation of women in our coverage. Rebb  ing  14:56, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Copyright status of your image
Ms. Wagmeister, I'm not sure if you noticed, but doesn't have any copyright information in its description. If you'd like the image to be kept, you need to add a license template by the 9th. You can read a little about choosing licenses at Commons:Choosing a license. The simplest way to take care of this is to edit the image's description and change   to. Thanks.
