User talk:Zhangmifigo

Welcome!
Hello, Zhangmifigo, 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! – NJD-DE (talk) 00:59, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Autobiography
I am the professor at Michigan State University. I do know some of my colleagues have their own wikipedia pages. I am wondering if I can create a wikipedia page for myself. Please guide. Thanks! Zhangmifigo (talk) 01:06, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. You'll see that editing a Wikipedia page about yourself is strongly discouraged.
 * It looks from Draft:Mi Zhang that you have already posted what looks like a CV as a draft. This is not the sort of article that can be accepted.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 01:35, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a bad idea to write your own article, but if you insist, here are the "plain and simple" guidelines. As for your colleagues articles, articles that shouldn't exist, unfortunately fall through the cracks and end up existing anyways. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:37, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
