  You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Eamonn Fingleton. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 21:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Women's suffrage

edit

Hi, thanks for your email. There does not appear to be any citation on either the Women's suffrage page or on the Corsican Republic page either for the claim. The best way to contact Goustien is on his talk page, which is at User talk:Goustien. I shall add tags to both articles requesting citations be added.
