User talk:DavidVGolden
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, DavidVGolden, 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. Creating an autobiography 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. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to 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
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!

David V Golden tagged for deletion
[edit]Hello DavidVGolden, I wanted to let you know that I just tagged David V Golden for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia. If you feel that this assessment is incorrect, you can either edit the article to explain better how the subject is notable or you can click on the "Contest this deletion" button and explain it on the talk page, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:41, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hello David, Wikipedia is not the right place to write about yourself. When you do become notable enough, someone who is not you will eventually write about you. Your article is also too promotional. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:42, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Þjarkur I was looking to tag it myself and then saw this message, however are you sure you tagged it? As I'm not seeing any templates nor any edits by you on that page? Asartea Talk | Contribs 14:11, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, the user had just recreated it, see the deletion log – Thjarkur (talk) 14:12, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Þjarkur, Thanks for the quick response and explanation. I was getting really confused because I saw you saying you tagged it but was completely unable to find those edits Asartea Talk | Contribs 14:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
