User talk:Rcopus

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

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Rory Copus, 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, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Myspace or Facebook for people to write about themselves. It is a different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography. The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia.  Harry   Let us have speaksundefined 18:13, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Why I've created the page
Dear Harry The Dirty,

When I was younger back in my acting days, someone created a Wikipedia page about me, purely for the act of defamation. At the time, it was nothing more than a bit of cyber-bullying, but I was in charge of its removal, and want to have Wikipedia page set up again, as I am now getting back into acting. As I currently have no PR agent, I thought I'd be proactive and do it myself. There is no intention of being biased toward myself - all the info & data can be confirmed by references & external links, and I'm simply in the process of getting details down on the page, and then creating the links that reference the information on the page.

I hope this is ok!

 * I'm afraid it is inappropriate. Creating autobiographies is strongly discouraged. So is having a PR agent do it for you. What you say above indicates that you are creating an article for promotional purposes. That is a definite no-no. See the links above. If you are notable, someone will create an article about you eventually.   Harry    Let us have speaksundefined 18:31, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
