Hi, I've reverted your edit as you added a non notable person to the list. Knitsey (talk) 16:09, 2 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey there - someone is being paid to write something about me, as I am a notable Founder of a fitness company. I was only helping to prep my bibliography and images to make it easier for them to write one about myself. JimmyTMartin (talk) 16:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * This is my first time doing this so apologies if I had submitted something that I wasn't suppose to. Thanks for your help. JimmyTMartin (talk) 16:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Can I suggest you read both of the messages other users have posted on your talk page. As you have paid someone to write an article about you there are steps you need to go through to do this. The messages below have links and advice. Thanks, Knitsey (talk) 17:02, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Which message in particular outlines the rules to follow? JimmyTMartin (talk) 22:25, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * As I said, the two messages on this talk page. Two editors have kindly left you advice about COI and about the article you're trying to create. Knitsey (talk) 22:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, JimmyTMartin. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Jimmy T. Martin, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tol (talk &#124; contribs) @ 02:27, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, JimmyTMartin, 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!
