Wikipedia entry autobiography vs information on author provided by author

Thanks for your message regarding the page Nicholas Karlson. I am Nicholas Karlson and I am the author of ESDOT - Econometrics, Statistics, and Data Analysis -- Open Text. See https://nicholaskarlson.github.io/ESDOT/ for a link to a very brief introduction to ESDOT.

ESDOT is public domain (CC0) text and code I authored that will freely help people all the way from the high school level to the Ph.D. level. I have not created the ESDOT wikipedia page but I would like to do this. The Nicholas Karlson page is meant to provide information to ESDOT users about the author of ESDOT. I will gladly wait to post the Nicholas Karlson page after posting the ESDOT page if that is the appropriate procedure.

Kind regards,

Nicholas Karlson — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicholas Karlson (talk • contribs) 21:34, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nicholas Karlson: Thank you for your message. You are welcome to create an article for ESDOT, but I would recommend using Wikipedia's Articles for Creation process. That will allow you to create a draft article that can then be reviewed by other uninvolved editors. As long as you are transparent about your connection to the subject and have reviewed Wikipedia's guidelines about conflict of interest, then other editors will be more confident that you are contributing in good faith.

Please note that a topic must be considered notable to be included in Wikipedia. You will be expected to show that this topic has already received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to establish its notability. You won't be able to cite your own unpublished personal knowledge, as this is considered original research and not accepted on Wikipedia.

If and when an article is created about it, you won't have any ownership or editorial control over it. What you post will be editable by anyone at any time, perhaps significantly over time. Article content is arrived at by consensus in accordance with Wikipedia policies.

I would advise you not to create an article about yourself, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography. It is nearly impossible to accurately judge your own notability and write about yourself objectively. If you are a notable person according to Wikipedia's notability criteria for people, then it's best to leave the writing up to someone who's better equipped to write with the required neutral point of view. --Drm310 (talk) 21:39, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Drm310: Thanks for your help and advice Drm310. I appreciate the upwards boost on the learning curve! Nicholas Karlson (talk) 18:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Nicholas Karlson[reply]

changes to page

why did you undo my changes to the page Weethalle, NSW. I am a resident of this town and with respect, think i know a little more about what is going on in regards to local religion than you, some school kid sitting behind his computer half a world away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.181.69.183 (talk) 09:31, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@180.181.69.183: If you bothered to look at the page history, you will see that I had no part in reverting your edits.

Be that as it may, the reversions were justified on the basis that they did not provide the required reliable source to verify what you'd added. Your own unpublished personal knowledge and experience (referred to on Wikipedia as original research), cannot be used.

Finally, do not act as if you own the page - Wikipedia articles are owned by no one. Good faith edits to any article can be made by any editor, regardless of their location, knowledge or experience. --Drm310 (talk) 13:11, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you, I appreciate it! I've actually been editing Wikipedia for a while now, but this is the first time I got around to making an account.
