User talk:Marcellus Andrew Dawson

January 2014
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Marcellus andrew dawson. 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. --MrScorch6200 (t c) 03:01, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed all content from User:Ruby Murray/Handzdown, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 04:08, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Your user page / the article about you
I have deleted User:Marcellus Andrew Dawson a a copyright violation from http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/MarcellusADawson. Wikipedia cannot accept copied material unless a formal copyright release is made, as described in WP:Donating copyright materials. That is seldom worth doing, because material written for other purposes usually has a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia.

Wikipedia is not a place like LinkedIn or Facebook for people to write about themselves. It is a different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'"

However, after your first article was deleted, another user,, asked the deleting administrator for a copy of it because she thought it could be improved to be acceptable as a Wikipedia article, and you best course is to let her work on it.

It is important to understand that nobody owns a Wikipedia article, not its first author and certainly not its subject. Please read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. You should not edit the draft at User:Ruby Murray/Handzdown directly, but you are welcome to make suggestions, either to Ruby directly on her talk page at User talk:Ruby Murray or on the talk page of the draft at User talk:Ruby Murray/Handzdown.
