  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 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. Thank you.

  Hello, I'm DoubleGrazing. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:20, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Your edit to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Minister_Joseph_Lb/sandbox has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. You copypasted text from this page: https://xperiencegospel.com/about-joseph-lb/ You are not permitted to do that, even if you wrote that text about yourself. You can, of course, change the licencing on that published page to a CC-BY-SA licence, which we would then permit. Alternatively, because we do not know you are who you say you are, you must rewrite it in a completely different form. Nick Moyes (talk) 09:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

please clarify me, I'm kinda confused. Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 09:53, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:35, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. Also note that you have edited your user page, which is not article space or space to draft an article. It is a place for the named user to tell about themselves as a Wikipedia user only. 331dot (talk) 16:10, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... Because I'm still trying to improve in my editing, atleast you all could tell me how to go about it.Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 07:26, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is not the place to tell the world about yourself. I've posted above messages about promotional edits and autobiographies, and why neither is allowed.
Also, your user page should not be used for self-promotion. You may include limited information about yourself, but it has to be within the guidelines laid out in WP:UP. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:31, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much. Is it possible you i email you directly? Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 07:37, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much. Is it possible i email you directly? Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 07:47, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
There is no need to email me. You can say whatever it is you wish to say either on this talk page or on mine. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:51, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
okau Sir.
How do i go about the editing to make it work? Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 07:53, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Please why did you norminate this page to be deleted? The contents on the page are not extreme. Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 08:01, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Have you not read anything I've said here before? Okay, I will repeat it once more:
  • You should not be writing about yourself. See WP:AUTOBIO.
  • You are not allowed to use Wikipedia for promotion. And before you say "I'm not selling anything", that's not the full extent of what 'promotion' means. See WP:YESPROMO.
  • Finally, your user page can only contain very limited biographical details. See WP:UP.
(BTW, when I say "see WP:UP" etc., I'm pointing to a policy page or other guidance which is pertinent to the issue at hand. I expect you to read and understand it.)
You're welcome to contribute to Wikipedia like everyone else, but you have to abide by the rules. And if your only purpose is to promote yourself, then please stop right now, as you will otherwise almost certainly find yourself sanctioned sooner or later.
HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Okay Sir, I understand you aside that aspect everything seems right, any other fault? Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 08:29, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

If you want to write an article about yourself, your user page isn't the place for it, and that's why it was deleted. The only venue available for an editor with a conflict of interest (as you have with yourself) is Wikipedia:Articles for creation. You can submit a draft for review. As has been pointed out to you already, however, writing an autobiography is strongly discouraged. Your own attempt so far has demonstrated a failure to write in a neutral manner about yourself, and such a draft article would never be accepted for publication.

What, exactly, is your purpose here? If you're here for publicity purposes, then you should give up. Wikipedia cannot be used for that purpose. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:18, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

no I'm not here for publicity purpose I'm just trying to create a Wikipedia profile Page just like other artiste has theirs.
What do you advice i do sir. Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 15:23, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
There are no 'profile pages'; this is not a social media platform like LinkedIn etc. This is an encyclopaedia, which contains encyclopaedic articles on notable topics.
And notability, in almost all cases, stems from having been featured in significant depth and extent in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. Can you cite such sources' coverage of yourself? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:41, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't know how to put it but check the one for the likes of Mercy Chinwo, Moses Bliss Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 18:01, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello Daniel.
Good evening. I believe you saw the editing i did before it was deleted i was trying to do something similar to that of Mercy Chinwo i don't know if you've come across to it, in this situation now what do you really think i needed to remove from that editing i made, what do you think was wrong or wasn't supposed to be there please sir I'm asking for clarity sake. Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 21:32, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
No one will see your request unless you write it exactly as described (your first efforts are missing brackets). You will likely need to agree not to edit about yourself, and tell the edits that you will make instead. 331dot (talk) 23:12, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
that the block is no longer necessary because i understand what i was blocked for, i won't repeat it again, and i promise to make a productive contributions.

331dot, I see a serious lack of competence here, and no reason to correct the unblock request and consider it. Drmies (talk) 23:23, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Drmies @331dot I now understands my mistake and won't go back to them again, i sincerely plead to be unblocked. Minister Joseph Lb (talk) 23:27, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Drmies Agreed. Minister Joseph Lb, you need to learn a lot more about this place and how it works before you request to be unblocked. 331dot (talk) 00:11, 19 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Good Morning sir. Yes i get you I've been awake all night doing that.
Thanks so much for your concern.
