User talk:Edwardcosta

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Dr. Edward Costa. 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 Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:44, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Dr. Edward Costa, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. For more information on why the article was deleted, please see the notability guidelines the reliable source guidelines, and the rule that Wikipedia is not the place to host your resume. Thank you.

One of the problems with writing your own article is that things you don't want people to know, which will end up in the article. Bearian (talk) 21:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
