Welcome!
Hello, Giraphrodite, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

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. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk 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, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Question for administrator
Hello,

Unfortunately, my draft page was deleted for copyright infringement before I could remedy the infringement issue. I would like to fix the credits section on that page to reflect the hard work I did in fact-checking every entry within the source in question, which turned out to be erroneous in the first place, as well as removing any possible infringement issues. There is a ton of additional information that I put on that page that I need to receive in order to re-write a page on the subject which came from self-conducted interviews with the page's namesake, Johan Carlsson. User Jimfbleak noted that he thought I had been writing about myself when in fact I was writing about someone else, and all of my interview information is in that article. Can you help me restore the draft so that I can remedy these issues and recover my work? Also, how do I cite a personally conducted interview with a primary source in a way that is acceptable to Wikipedia?

Help would be much appreciated, as this is a very important project to me, and many hours have been poured over it.

Thank you in advance.

 * Hi, Giraphrodite. I will email the source text of the article to you. However, pleas do take note of the things that Jimfbleak has said below. Also, using an interview which you conducted might be considered as against the  spirit, even if not the letter,  of the guideline on conflict of interest, so please read that, if you haven't already done so, before doing any more editing on the subject.JBW (talk) 20:40, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

If you have a conflict of interest you must declare it. Also please read the guidance below:


 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.


 * Virtually all your text is unsourced, and the refs you do give are not WP:RS


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above.

An interview with you is not an acceptable source because we cannot verify the content, and it's not likely to be an accepatbel source since he is talking about himself, and we need independent  sources Jimfbleak - talk to me?  18:01, 11 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I've suggested the deletion of the image at Commons. You said that he had sent you a private email requesting that you posted the image. Normally, copyright belongs to the photographer, not the subject of the image. I see nothing to suggest that the photographers have released their copyright to him, or that they have agreed that their image can be used for any purpose, including commercial, as required here. Also, if they have waived their rights to the image, we need an email from them to Wikipedia to confirm that. A private email from him to you cannot be verified even if he really does own the copyright. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the image, isn't sufficient.

 * I see the image has now been deleted from Commons Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:50, 12 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Jimfbleak, I did in fact reach out to obtain permission from the photographer after receiving the email you mentioned, so I will resubmit that photo in light of the information you provided. Also, if you look at my user page, I declared COI back in September of 2021 before submitting the article for review. I have since edited a new draft of the article that includes a tone change, major content removals, changes, and additions, as well as plenty of new and more accurate references. I would greatly appreciate it if you are able to take a look at the new article and give me any new notes you may have. Thank you for your help as I learn more about Wikipedia's platform and requirements. Giraphrodite (talk) 01:26, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
