January 2023
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for 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.

 * Hi - I understand this - I'm an academic with a public profile and I wanted to start a page through which my work can be read, accessed and indeed added to - all is peer reviewed and I don't give the IP to publishers - My many students around the world suggested I started this page and it will be added to by many ... I hope that is acceptable but would understand if not. Many thanks Profcjbirch (talk) 11:44, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * Writing about yourself is acceptable, in that it isn't forbidden as such. It is, however, strongly advised against, for all the reasons outlined in WP:AUTOBIO.
 * In any case, before you can get even a 'starter article' published, you need to demonstrate that you are notable, as defined in the Wikipedia context (see WP:N). Given that you are an academic, this can be done either through the special notability guideline for academics, WP:NPROF, or else via the general WP:GNG guideline which requires significant coverage of you in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. (And just to add that the one source cited in your sandbox draft does not meet the GNG standard, as it is primary and very close to you.)
 * My advice would be to study those guidelines first and determine whether you are likely to meet either of them, before proceeding much further.
 * HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:54, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:Profcjbirch/sandbox


Hello, Profcjbirch. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:49, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
