User talk:William Atticus Parker

Welcome!
Hello, William Atticus Parker, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Draft:William Atticus Parker, 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:


 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Guidance for article subjects

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! — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:59, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Forty Winks have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 22:13, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Peter Grinspoon. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. luis  💬 20:09, 25 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Luis, these are stated facts. They are details about Mr. Grinspoon's life and I have the source to back them up. Let me know what I can do to improve it. Thanks. William Atticus Parker (talk) 20:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You also responded so quickly as to make me think you are a colleague, or Mr. Grinspoon in fact. Does the truth harm or offend you? William Atticus Parker (talk) 20:28, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
