April 2022

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please 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 or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's 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 the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. eviolite (talk) 03:31, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure whether being a decorated Marine sergeant, a lawyer peer-reviewed as PREEMINENT for thirty years, a well-regarded law professor at a top public las school, a Fulbright Scholar and Fulbright Visiting Professor, and an award -winning artist, are notable enough. The first draft was limited to facts for which I could find acceptable sources. Once I got those details in acceptable form, then more would be added to the draft, but again, added only after acceptable sources are found. It's a W-I-P. THX for considering the current draft, Utilito (talk) 03:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Those things would probably make you notable as Wikipedia defines it- but there must be significant coverage of you personally in independent reliable sources for any article about you to summarize. 331dot (talk) 10:55, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You should be aware that if you succeed in getting an article about yourself accepted(a rare thing in general, but not impossible) you therafter would be limited to edit requests for further changes, and could not exclusively dictate what appears there. 331dot (talk) 10:56, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Still a student of the review process, and I will keep trying. I don't know how printed sources are references. There are no websites that your reviewer could go to for those materials. For example, I find no online source that lists me as a veteran, much less any that details my service record. Work that academics do is unlikely to get "coverage" in any printed work or digital journal. In response to the reviewer, I could provide more references that contain the same information. However I don't see in other articles on Wikipedia, multiple references in every footnote, and do see statements of fact about the subject with no cited references. So, how do I give you references that are not accessible online, and to show more "coverage" should I provide multiple sources that just say the same things?
