User talk:Sanurag200

Welcome
Hello, Sanurag200, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Anurag Singh, 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!

Sanurag200: You did not create that article: you overwrote an article on a cricketer with your article about yourself, with this edit. Your action caused someone to nominate the article for speedy deletion, which makes it worse. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a directory. And replacing an article on someone else's career with your own entry is rude. Do not do that again.

Here are the criteria for a person to have an article in the encyclopaedia. If you have been written about at length in newspapers and magazines, have won major awards in one or more fields, have held high political office, or believe you meet one of the other criteria listed there, then you may draft an article about yuorself, with references. It is recommended that you do so through the Articles for Creation programme, since it is hard to write sufficiently neutrally about oneself. Otherwise, please find something else to do here.
