CraigMokhiber

Welcome!

Hello, CraigMokhiber, 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. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A 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 or change 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
• Guidance for article subjects

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.

Hi! Having tried submitting edits to the existing wikipage since it is an ECP page, but they are forever pending review. Therefore requesting to create new biography for a correct record, if possible. Or, please review the edits on the existing page. Thank you. www.craigmokhiber.org (talk) 04:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Those edits were requested by the account Mokavienna, who has been blocked.

• Are you Craig Mokhiber himself? and/or
• Are you the blocked editor Mokavienna? If not, are you in communication with them?

Hi there!

- Yes, this account belongs to Craig Mokhiber myself.

- MokaVienna was asked to help submit the edits provided by me last month, we are in communication.

- I can also submit the edits again from my own account - if required?

Thank you. www.craigmokhiber.org (talk) 16:31, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

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, at Draft:Craig Gerard Mokhiber. 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 Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). 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. Hi, just to reiterate, Wikipedia aims to collect information that has encyclopaedic value. For Craig Mokhiber (you), this means information related to the reason behind his (your) notability. Unlike LinkedIn or printed books, Wikipedia does not aim to produce complete biographies, and this is especially pertinent to people who may be notable only for one event. If you believe that the Craig Mokhiber article misses any important information or gets any facts wrong, please submit an edit request on its associated Talk page, always providing reliable sources to confirm it. Attempts at creating a competing article will fail, as Wikipedia doesn't maintain two different copies of a single article; the only thing that can be done is expanding the current article with encyclopaedic information.

Hi! Having tried submitting edits to the existing wikipage about me since it is an ECP page, but they are forever pending review. Therefore requesting to create new biography for a correct record, if possible. Otherwise, please review the edits on the currently existing page. Thank you. www.craigmokhiber.org (talk) 18:02, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

You made your request only an hour ago[1]. I'm sorry but Wikipedia is a volunteer-run project, it's normal that edit requests for less frequently edited articles take days or weeks to be implemented. — kashmīrī ^TALK 18:25, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Understand. But I’m referring to the edits submitted by MokaVienna on my behalf last month. Is it still possible to review or shall I submit the same text again from my own account? Thank you. www.craigmokhiber.org (talk) 18:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I might suggest that later you remove your website from your signature, it is basically an advertisement. 331dot (talk) 19:31, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

That text was refused as it contained plenty of details that fail our WP:INDISCRIMINATE policy. Wikipedia, being an encyclopaedia, doesn't strive to publish complete biographies but focuses on the key facts contributing to the subject's notability. Additionally, sourcing was quite poor at times (minutes of meetings, etc.). — kashmīrī ^TALK 10:36, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

If you choose to keep your current username, please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. Please do not send documentation without being requested to do so.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

@CraigMokhiber To clarify the above message, which may sound a bit cryptic – if you're indeed Craig Mokhiber, then your account name does not violate the username policy, and you're free to either create a new account if you wish or to proceed with verifying this account by email as advised above (and the account will be unblocked on successful verification). Cheers, — kashmīrī ^TALK 19:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, just to clarify - Yes, this account belongs to Craig Mokhiber myself. An email to follow up on the account verification has been sent as instructed. Thank you. www.craigmokhiber.org (talk) 19:59, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
