User talk:InnoWikipedia

Welcome

Hello, DrPacella, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dr. Salvatore Pacella, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of 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

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dr. Salvatore Pacella. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

User names -- don't name yourself after a real person

Hi,

If you are not Dr. Pacella, you should not be using this as a user name on Wikipedia. This will have the advantage or removing the apparent conflict of interest, also. You are including a lot of trivial information about this doctor, and you are using inappropriate sources, such as YouTube. You should really think that this is an encyclopedia article. If it would not be in an encyclopedia, don't include the information. This isn't a resume, it's information that is notable about a person. Is it really notable that he passed up on playing college football? You can make a leaner and nicer article that looks more professional if you just state the facts and remove the fluff.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "DrPacella", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.
