User talk:Gninnaf

Welcome!
Hello, Gninnaf, 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. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

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! Pam D  18:41, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Sean Parker and Napster
John. There seems to be a big disagreement. Was Sean Parker a co-founder of Napster or not? CAn you point us to an authoritative source? - SimonLyall (talk) 06:04, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

I am not sure how you respond to these but you can email me john@netcapital.com. There is no source more authoritative than I am. Which specific edits are you referring too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.217.149 (talk) 06:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John-Fanning


A tag has been placed on John-Fanning requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Daiyusha (talk) 04:29, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself. 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 Wikipedians with articles). 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.

 * Please stop disrupting the encyclopedia.

Firstly, do not destroy existing navigational pages like the disambiguation page at John Fanning.

Secondly, as explained above, do not write about yourself.

If you continue to disrupt our encyclopedia you may be blocked from editing in future. If you just want to tell your own story, you are in the wrong place. If you want to improve our encyclopedia, please take the time to learn how to contribute. Thank you. Pam D  18:40, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
