Article Gentress Helena Back
Hi Gentress Helena Back and welcome to Wikipedia! I notice that on your user page you have created what appears to be an article about yourself. A couple of things to note: If your intent was to create an article, then you have created it in the wrong place. Please see WP:Your first article for guidelines on how to do that. Some users like to work on their articles in their userspace before moving them to the main space, so if that was your intent, then it is fine that you keep it there temporarily, but not to keep it there permanently, because user pages should not look like articles.

As well, it appears you may be writing an article about yourself; that is generally frowned upon on Wikipedia because it is difficult to remain neutral. The sources you have listed at the moment also do not meet our guidelines for reliable sources. Please see: WP:Identifying reliable sources for information on that. As it stands, if you create the article in the state it is in, it is likely it will be deleted. If you need any help or have any questions about this, you can ask either me or the folks over at The Teahouse. Cheers! &#160; Discant X  08:04, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to your userpage. That content has been deleted. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to User:Gentress Helena Back/sandbox. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. --L235 (talk) Ping when replying 07:42, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:Gentress Helena Back/sandbox


Hello, Gentress Helena Back. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "sandbox".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the  or  code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code:, paste it in the edit box at this link , and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Rankersbo (talk) 19:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
