User talk:Ncoles797

Welcome!
Hello, Ncoles797, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Nicholas Coles, which 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. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

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! –Skywatcher68 (talk) 16:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Page hijacking
In this edit you rewrote the Nicholas Coles page from a biography of an British literature professor to a biography of an American psychology professor (whom one might presume is yourself). Page hijacking is considered a form of vandalism at Wikipedia. If you think you merit inclusion at Wikipedia, you may request an article (see WP:Requested articles), but you should not write it yourself. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:07, 10 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I am attempting to correct this record because it is not the correct description for the Google Knowledge Panel for Nicholas Coles. Their FAQ suggests that the course of action is to try to correct the source first.

 * To be clear, I do not believe I merit inclusion at Wikipedia. I'm merely trying to fix the inaccurate results that are pulled up when one Googles the name "Nicholas Coles" (which shows my image and university affiliation, but this Wikipedia article). Ncoles797 (talk) 16:13, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I can't speak to how properly to fix the Google knowledge panel, but editing the Wikipedia page to be about you rather than about the notable scholar it is currently about is not the way to go. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:12, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
