User talk:Tmatthiasmusic

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography 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.

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. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk 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!

 * Hi Jim,
 * As I am a musical artist myself, I fulfil the notable person criteria, hence why I created the page. Please let me know if this is ok. Tmatthiasmusic (talk) 12:30, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

 * If you wish to address a particular user directly, you shouldn't use the general "help me" tag, instead you may either "ping" them by placing as it appears here(not in the edit window where I have added coding to suppress its function).  Some users have disabled pings, so you may also post on their user talk pages.
 * To answer you, while not forbidden, autobiographical articles are highly discouraged, please read the autobiography policy. This is because people naturally write favorably about themselves, and also have difficulty setting aside what they know about themselves and only summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose to say about them. 331dot (talk) 09:56, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
