Welcome!

Hello, Judah Du Bois Offical, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was User:Judah Du Bois Offical/sandbox, 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:

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 Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Cyberdog958 were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This appears to be an autobiography which is strongly discouraged. The draft is entirely unsourced and the subject does not appear to be notable to have an article. Every claim made in the article has to be sourced by a reliable source.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Judah Du Bois Offical/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Judah Du Bois Offical! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! cyberdog958^Talk 09:10, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cyberdog958! Sorry, I didn't mean to submit my sandbox article. I know it was discouraged to write autobiographies and it was sort of a mock wikipedia article that was not meant for release. My bad. Judah Du Bois Offical (talk) 07:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I would recommend working on already existing articles until you get more acquainted with everything, because writing an article from scratch is one of the hardest things to do here. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me or any other experienced editor at The Teahouse. cyberdog958^Talk 07:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
