User talk:Retrogoddesses

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited 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. 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. 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!

Hello, I have no idea how to any of these things. I’m an artist and I have zero knowledge of the codes etc. I want to change my username to my name Rachel Hancock if that is appropriate and saves me from being blocked. It has been suggested to me many times to get a Wikipedia entry. If I can’t do it myself, how do I get reviewed for an entry. I have a headache trying to work this out 😂😂 Retrogoddesses (talk) 12:05, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Please follow the instructions in the above notice to propose a new username. Please also understand that Wikipedia does not have mere "entries", Wikipedia has articles.  Articles are typically written by independent editors; please read the autobiography policy as to why writing about yourself is strongly discouraged.  You would merit a Wikipedia article if you receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources, showing how you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable artist.  The article should only summarize what those sources say about you. Significant coverage does not include brief mentions, routine announcements, or other primary sources. 331dot (talk) 18:43, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
