User talk:Joewray04
Welcome
[edit]Hello, Joewray04, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you created was Joe Wray, 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

- 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!

Article
[edit]Hello, I'm sorry but if you want to edit Wikipedia, content about you goes on your user page. (Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not really for writing about yourself - those are links to guides explaining this.) Let me know if you've got any questions about this.

Speedy deletion nomination of Joe Wray
[edit]Hello Joewray04,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Joe Wray for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, 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. Blythwood (talk) 17:39, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
