Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. 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.

I did not write the Wikipedia page about myself. Indeed, I did not know there was a page about me until a friend told me a few weeks ago. The page was written by a Wikipedia editor at the National Institutes of Health, apparently when, in the last few years, the NIH was concerned that not enough senior women had been given Wikipedia pages. My only contributions to this page, once I learned that it existed, were to make two corrections and to add two papers on major subjects about which I had written. The two corrections were (1) my undergraduate college (Emory University, not American University) and (2) my disciplinary focus (the history of U.S. biomedical research, not just the history of HIV/AIDS).

 * Sorry, I didn't mean to say you created the article, merely that you were editing it. Apart from removing factual errors and other straightforward fixes, you are strongly encouraged to use the talk page to request changes. User:力 (power~enwiki,  π,  ν ) 03:40, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
