Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please 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 or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's 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 the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. creffett (talk) 14:08, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, MelvinTHD yt, 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!

Personal information and Wikipedia
Hi MelvinTHD yt, I noticed that you wrote a draft about yourself. As Jimfbleak and I mentioned above, it was deleted because it was an autobiography, and we usually don't allow those. However, there was a second issue - it gave away a lot of personal information about you, and that's a potential safety problem for you. It might not have seemed like that much, but it's been removed for your protection. The thing to remember is that on Wikipedia, anybody on the internet can see what you post, it's not like a social network where only certain people can see what you post. I'd encourage you to read our guidance for younger editors and leave me a note on my talk page if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy editing here! creffett (talk) 14:21, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
