If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!

Your article about yourself
Yeah, be BOLD, but not that bold. You posted an article about yourself, which was a stright copy-paste from your campaign website! But it was good to know that you lived with your Bubbie. I would take that out of your compaign literature though, since you're not D-Lower East Side, if you catch my drift. Hatzlacha on your election. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 05:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Wikipedia is not a tool for self-promotion - or any other kind of promotion/
 * 2) No copyrighted contents on Wikipedia, please.
 * 3) As yet unelected candidates for political office are not includable here anyway until they actually get elected.

Proposed deletion of Stuart waldman


The article Stuart waldman has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one.  ttonyb (talk) 21:16, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Stuart waldman. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Do you really not capitalize your last name? Why? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:28, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
