User talk:Mark Viner

Welcome!
Hello, MarkViner, 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. 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 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!

COI
You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, and read the guidance below
 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to you or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what you claim or interviewing you. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Most of your text is unsourced, including the claim that you won an award that doesn't appear notable enough to have a Wikipedia article.
 * you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. We need facts here, not reviewswhich are just opinions and have nothing to do with notability. Obvious promo through cherry-picked quotes like His recordings have garnered high praise from the international press... from Viner’s fingers the iridescent showers of notes cascade with scintillating exuberance... a blazing young British talent”... beguiling... undoubtedly one of the most gifted pianists of his generation... At least no one can accuse you of false modesty!
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:29, 18 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Draft:Mark Viner restored with these changes, please check. On what you have written, you still need to show that you meet WP:MUSICBIO, being reviewed isn't enough. Also, if you are tempted to add a picture, if it's been published anywhere else other than with an explicit PD licence, it will be regarded as a copyright violation Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:40, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
