User talk:GeoJobe963

Welcome!

Hello, GeoJobe963, 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. 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 Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:GeoJobe963

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. A tag has been placed on User:GeoJobe963 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello GeoJobe963 -- I've declined this immediate deletion request as it looks like you are working on drafting an article, and moved the draft to User:GeoJobe963/George Jobe for you. Note that your main user page is not the place to develop article drafts. If this draft is about yourself, then you need to read WP:Autobiography and WP:Conflict of interest before proceeding. Also, articles about living people must have inline-cited references from the start. If you have problems editing, then the Teahouse is a friendly forum for new editors.

@Espresso Addict thank you. How do I create an article? GeoJobe963 (talk) 09:42, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

On the assumption that you are George Jobe, or are associated with him, then you (1) need to declare this connection explicitly (see the guidelines I linked above); and (2) submit the article for review by the WP:Articles for creation team, but only once you've finished referencing it.
