User talk:NNicholaou

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

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Nick B. Nicholaou, which appears to be an article about yourself. This 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Proposed deletion of Nick B. Nicholaou
Hello, NNicholaou. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Nick B. Nicholaou, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Nick B. Nicholaou to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Deletion discussion about Nick B. Nicholaou
Hello, NNicholaou,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Nick B. Nicholaou should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Nick B. Nicholaou.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, VViking Talk Edits 13:58, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Please Stop the Proposal for Deletion
We began the creation of the page just prior to me leaving the country for a couple of weeks. I have returned, and we hope to complete the References section this week or next. NNicholaou (talk) 14:02, 19 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Since you appear to be the subject of the article, it's a bad idea for you to be editing the article at all. Please see WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Autobiography for more information. —C.Fred (talk) 19:46, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

None of what you want to do is OK
The reason the books were removed is because we don't use commercial sites like Amazon to reference material, because anyone can sell on the web these days.

What should have put paid to all of this is that you may not under any circumstances write an article about yourself. You may think you're notable, but I've never heard of you, and I'm not getting a favorable impression right now either thanks to your refusal to understand what people are telling you.

The fact that all your stuff you want to put up is "in your office" tells me that you're self-promoting, and you may not do that.

You may not ask other people to edit on your behalf, especially if you have an actual relationship with them. That is meatpuppetry and a conflict of interest.

I think you need to figure out why you think you need an article on Wikipedia, because you may not use it for business purposes, nor is Wikipedia a personal webhost.

I'm also not entirely impressed with the fact that you posted a false copyright notice on something you uploaded to Commons. Putting a box on a piece of work does not make that your piece of work, and I'm pretty sure your publishers, parishioners, and clients wouldn't like to hear that you were stealing someone else's work without their permission. Yes, it's a bit hyperbolic to say "stealing", but it's what you have done. If I cross out your picture and name on the cover of one of your books, and put my picture and name on there, does that make the book "mine"? No, it doesn't, just like drawing a box doesn't make the entire poster "your work"

In short, all you are doing is making yourself look very bad on a whole lot of levels, and instead of trying to ask permission for things, you need to realize that you simply cannot do what you are doing, and stop doing it entirely. I don't believe you are here to better the encyclopedia, so you might as well focus your efforts elsewhere in life. MSJapan (talk) 19:26, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
