User talk:Stephenpetersymons

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Draft:Stephen Symons, which appears to be an article about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A 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 or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Introductory tutorial
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The Teahouse

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! TornadoLGS (talk) 18:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi there TornadoLGS, I have received many requests to have my biography listed on Wikipedia by publishers and reviewers. I am a well known South African poet, published locally and internationally, and have been nominated for a number of national and international awards. Please consider this when reviewing my submission. The submission merely lists my publications, awards, links to my books and research work for the University of Pretoria. Your consideration is appreciated. ~ Stephenpetersymons (talk) 18:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
