Hi there. I added a photo to the Sil Lai Abrams Wiki page and it has been removed. It is not in violation of Wikipedia standards. Why did this occur and how can it be added back? Baxter91 (talk) 16:57, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey, Baxter91. I thought that, since this is your first time creating

- @LX: Thanks for reaching out. I understand, however I have written this in a neutral tone as per guidelines, without any promotional attempts. When I googled myself, one of the most popular searches is "Sil Lai Abrams wiki". Given that others are seeking it, I decided to create it, as I have a vested interest in ensuring as a public figure that any information posted on me in cyberspace is accurate, and I would be the best person to do that. I have seen threads about me on other sites where people have posted inaccurate information about me and I have ZERO control over that (sites like Lipstick Alley, for example - gossip sites). With that being said, are you saying that because I wrote it, my page will automatically be deleted? Or is there an independent review that is done to determine if it is being done for informational vs promotional purposes? Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

- Having a vested interest in information about oneself is precisely the reason that the subjects of Wikipedia's articles are not the best candidates to write those articles, but quite possibly the worst. I appreciate that you have tried to be neutral, but no other encyclopedia would allow people or organizations to be the editors of their own entries. I don't know what will happen to your draft, but the fact that it's an autobiography will surely be taken into account when evaluating it. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:19, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- @LX: Got it. I searched for a way to delete it, but apparently that is out of my hands. Baxter91 (talk) 18:22, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- Now that we know for sure that you have a conflict of interest with your draft, I would recommend using Articles for Creationeven more than I did above. I can go ahead and add the AfC box to your draft if you'd like.
- Also, I would like to clarify that reliable sources(in Wikipedia's sense of the phrase) in order to be included. Otherwise, it would then be removed.
- If you would rather not go through the Articles for Creation process I mentioned above and would rather instead delete your draft, place

- @Gestrid: Thank you for your recommendation. I will follow your instructions listed above...if you would add the AfC box to my draft that would be great. I understand that no one owns an article and the risks of even having one, but it is a popular search and I figure I might as well provide it to those seeking information on me. Question: Right now it is flagged by LX with the note "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject." If I go through the AfC process, will that notation be removed? Or will it stay, regardless? If that is the case, I will just delete it instead. Baxter91 (talk) 18:18, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
- It will stay until after it has been moved out of draftspace and has been edited by several other users. After that, anyone is free to remove the notice. — Gestrid (talk) 18:27, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
- I've added the box to your draft. When you believe it's ready to submit for review, you can click the big blue button. Also, I should tell you that there's no limit on how many times you submit your draft.
- @Gestrid: Thank you so very much. You've been super, super helpful! Also, when you say anyone is free to remove the notice, does that include me? Baxter91 (talk) 23:20, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Gestrid: Okay. Got it. Thanks for the heads up. Have a good night/day! Baxter91 (talk) 02:20, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Gestrid: One last thing - do you know how I can get the ban from me uploading photos to Wikimedia lifted? Thanks in advance. Baxter91 (talk) 02:22, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- That wasn't a block. I looked into it a bit more, and it appears that you triggered an edit filter. The upload was stopped by an automated process. I don't know much about edit filters, so I'll ask MusikAnimal, someone I know is good with edit filters, to let you know what happened and (if needed) what to do. No need for you to go to their userpage and ask. They'll come here. — Gestrid (talk) 02:55, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. Watch this box:
- After it hits 6 months and 1 day on the 25th (maybe earlier that day, check your preferences for exactly 180 days from account creation), you should be able to upload here without triggering edit filter 153. For uploading your own work photos on Commons or here, I suggest uploading the largest version of each that you can find with the name of each photographer, followed by permission submission via (talk) 08:05, 10 May 2017 (UTC)]
