User talk:Selwyn Schneider

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at User:Selwyn Schneider/sandbox. 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.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Draft:Selwyn Schneider. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

HI Thanks for this communication. I am completely new to adding any content to Wikipedia and do not understand yet what I must or must not do. I have now tried to edit the info for myself so as to not make it seem like self promotion by taking out the links to my music.(maybe that was the problem) I have just kept it short and a basic outline of who I am. Im sure you will see what I have done and let me know if it is acceptable. What I am really wanting to do though, and maybe you can guide me? is the following: I have added my name to the list of artists who have recorded a version of the song Ghost riders in the Sky, I assume I cannot make my name link directly to the song on Soundcloud, and that it  must link to a page on Wikipedia? This is what I am trying to achieve. Please advise Selwyn Schneider (talk) 07:44, 3 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello and welcome. Please be aware that Wikipedia only accepts articles about topics that are deemed notable - that is, those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia. We consider evidence from reliable and independent sources to gauge this attention. For musicians, more refined notability criteria are defined at Notability (music).
 * As noted above, we highly discourage people from writing about themselves, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography. You are not the best judge of your own notability, and will find it difficult to write objectively about yourself only from information taken from third-party sources, and not rely on unpublished personal knowledge or experience. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:35, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello again. I do understand that i cannot write my own page on Wikipedia. But could you please explain if I am able to do the following: I have added my name to the list of artists who have recorded a version of the song Ghost riders in the Sky,  can I make my name link directly to the song on soundcloud.com so that people could at least go and hear it if they were interested to do so? If I can do this could you please explain how I can do this. Many Thanks Selwyn Schneider (talk) 15:16, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
