User talk:So-Cal-Dan

According to the Wikipidia Conflict of Interest page:

"The proper way to get your own writing about yourself in if you really think you can meet the inclusion criteria and are willing to accept having a neutral, non-promotional article is to make a proposal containing the text you want, instead of just putting it up directly, and seek the consensus of the community through discussion. Not only does this provide independent viewpoints on it that can allow you to discover biases you were not aware of having, it also helps provide an indication of good faith and that you are willing to put the interests of Wikipedia first instead of standing in a position of conflict of interest."

Please discuss my auto-biography I'm hoping to have edited and included in wikipedia on my talk page.

Here is the draft of the biography: User:So-Cal-Dan/DanielLyons

Thanks, Wikipedia handle: So-Cal-Dan Dan Lyons


 * It's good that you propose it this way first; this saves us all some stress. However, currently I can only advise you not publish this material on Wikipedia. The 'neutrality' of it is fine, but it includes far to many trivia. More importantly, it appears as if it fails our notability guidelines: Notability and Notability (people). You need at least two sources that discuss you person in a non-trivial matter, like a mid-size interview or a book that discusses you person on half a page. If there isn't something like that, justifying an article on a person on Wikipedia is difficult, though you might want to take a closer look at Notability (people). Of course, contributions to Wikipedia are always welcome, and should feel free to improve the articles that are related to you biography. And, after you've done some editing, to reason why you are working on these articles, you could put up a SHORT biography of yourself on your user page. However, if you are only interested in writing an autobiography of yourself, there are better ways to do this than on Wikipedia. Zara1709 (talk) 08:21, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your input... but MAYBE I'll recommend this article for the FBI to protect soon, for reasons............. - So-Cal

I like to edit biographies and help with turning autobiographies into biographies so...
I don't have a whole lot of time right now, but I've done one successful bio, so if you want me to help by writing a biography stub/start on you, cut and paste what you already have into my talk page somewhere and I'll put it in my sandbox and see what I can do. You sound like a very interesting person - I'm from SoCal, am a SoCal anthropologist, am very interested in SoCal being more represented on WP. --Levalley (talk) 23:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)LeValley
