User talk:Gerald A. Carroll

Welcome[edit]

Hello, Gerald A. Carroll, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:57, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Help desk is to answer questions about how to use or edit Wikipedia[edit]

I reverted your second posting on the help desk [1] as it was a repeat of your first posting. Neither posting is appropriate for the Help Desk which is to answer questions about how to use or edit Wikipedia, and you are not posting any questions.

What it appears that you are doing is attempting to submit or request an article. To do that you will need to follow the WP:AFC process.

Note that in order for a subject to have an article on Wikipedia, certain criteria must be met, generally that reliably published sources that are not connected to the subject have discussed the subject in a significant manner.

I will also note that by your user name, you likely would have a conflict of interest in writing about Carroll and so you probably should not because is proves almost impossible for people to maintain the neutral point of view, which is required by our policies. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:26, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And someone else has reverted your third posting. Please stop doing that. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:36, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
