User talk:IndiaroseG

Welcome!
Hello, IndiaroseG, 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! -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:34, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi IndiaroseG. I've added the above template because it appears that you might be attempting to write a draft about yourself based upon your choice of username and the content you've added to your userpage. Please be advised that trying to write an autobiographical Wikipedia article is something which is for the most part frowned upon by the Wikipedia community due to the obvious conflict of interest that exists. Now, if by chance you're not the same person as the India-Rose Garraway that you're writing about, but are connected to here in some way (e.g. a family member or representative of some kind), then you almost certainly still be considered to have a conflict of interest with anything written about her on Wikipedia per WP:COISELF or WP:FCOI.If none of the above applies to you (i.e. you're just someone who wants to write an article about Garraway), then you should really change your username to avoid any other editors for mistaking you for her. While editors are given a bit a latitude when it comes to choosing a username, they cannot use the name of other specific identifiable persons (particularly individuals who might have articles written about them on Wikipedia) for the reasons given in WP:IMPERSONATE. This is done to not only prevent any misunderstandings such as WP:APPARENTCOI, but also to protect persons against any damaging impersonation. You can find out more about how to request a username change at Wikipedia:Changing username.Finally, regardless of whether you're really Garraway, your user page is not really the best place to try and write about her on Wikipedia. Content on user pages needs to comply with Wikipedia:User pages and user pages which look like articles do sometimes end up being deleted as a WP:FAKEARTICLE per WP:U5. So, you'd be much better of creating a page in the draft namespace and working on a draft for a possible future article there. Then, when you think it's ready for article status, you can submit it for review to Wikipedia:Articles for creation. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:54, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
