User talk:Josephrrusso

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Draft:Joseph R. Russo, which 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!

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! — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:59, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

 * This was incorrect:
 * - Your reference: https://www.fearlessjourneys.org/innovators
 * - Orignial source: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephrrusso/
 * The original source was referenced properly and we can add additional references, but stating this is unambiguous copyright infringement is unequivocally untrue. Josephrrusso (talk) 00:51, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Read the above notice carefully. In case you missed it: "You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words." — Twitter Verified Badge.svgrsjaffe 🗣️ 01:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jeff G.. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 10:26, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
