Your submission at Articles for creation: my profile (September 22)
 Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:Afc_decline/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=User:Lynn_Avril_Hendricks/sandbox/my_profile Articles for creation help desk] or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Eagleash was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Wikipedia does not facilitate the creation of 'profiles' in the manner of Facebook and other social media. Wikipedia reports on what has been written about a subject in reliable sources which must be wholly independent of the person. Wikipedia articles are written by editors without connection to the topic based on the sources.

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Lynn Avril Hendricks. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 WP: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.

Some additional information
Please see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY for why this type of article is discouraged and here for why it may not always be a good idea. If you would like to contribute to the encyclopedia, we would be pleased to have you do so. Please study the various links above. The tutorial is a good place to start and an additional link which is of vital importance is the general notability guide. If you have a topic for which you would like to see a Wikipedia article in existence, please go via WP:WIZ or WP:AFC to create a draft which can then be submitted for review. Thank you. Happy editing. Eagleash (talk) 16:16, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Lynn Avril Hendricks/sandbox/my profile
The page User:Lynn Avril Hendricks/sandbox/my profile is legitimate as a self-description under WP:UPYES, but not as an attempt at a Wikipedia article about yourself. I have accordingly edited it to remove the trappings of an article. I have also declined the suggested speedy deletion of the page.

I strongly urge yo0u to rewrite this in first person, so it does not give the impression of being an article draft. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 19:34, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
