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.

Thank you for your propmpt reply. I fully understand and respect the parameters and guidance on self-promotion. That is not my intention. As an employee of the United Nations and co-author and contributor of different publications, I am often asked for my Wiki page, in addition to my LI profile. I would be very happy to share with you or others what I want to upload so this can be fully vetted. Looking forward to your guidance. Thank you again.

We don't have "pages" about people we have articles. Your proposed autobiography is not in the correct format, you would need to use the

notability criteria. Theroadislong (talk) 14:01, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Hello, and thank you for your request at Files for upload! Unfortunately, your request has been declined. The reason is shown on the main Files for upload page. The request will be archived shortly; if you cannot find it on that page, it will probably be at this month's archive. Regards, Victor Schmidt (talk) 13:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
