User talk:PeteCostanza

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you created was Pete Costanza (Canadian football), 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! 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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Chrissymad ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  17:35, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Pete Costanza (Canadian football)
Hello, PeteCostanza. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Pete Costanza (Canadian football), for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Pete Costanza (Canadian football) 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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Pete Costanza (Canadian football). 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.
