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

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This 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 you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! SarahStierch (talk) 01:31, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

December 2013
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at John Korsrud. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – 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 an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its 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 my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Article about you
Hi, I'm assuming that this User:Jkorsrud is the Wikipedia account for the Canadian composer John Korsrud.

It looks like you proposed an article about yourself, and even drafted one, in the past. Others pointed out the rules against self-authoring at Wikipedia, which I support. However, it's also clear that you are plenty notable enough, that Wikipedia will benefit from having an article about you. So I have translated the German Wikipedia article John Korsrud into English at article John Korsrud. It's a start. I encourage you to make comments in the Talk page of the John Korsrud article if you see missing information or factual errors there. I'm confident editors will look at them and incorporate them into the article as appropriate. JimDeLaHunt (talk) 07:29, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
