User talk:Acbethea

Welcome!

Hello, Acbethea, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.)

Wikipedia believes in "Don't bite the newbies" but...

...sometimes that happens. Please don't take it personally. At Teahouse, so many people post questions about creating an article about themselves, that the (all volunteer) editors who put in time answering questions can get a bit blunt. Wikipedia has a strong bias against autobiography and against paid, and you pressed both those buttons. Best hope is that in time your career becomes more known and written about, and someone decides to create an article about you. Be aware that if there is any shade in your life (embezzlement, spouse abuse...) that sort of information could end up in article. David notMD (talk) 22:26, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Andy Bethea

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Andy Bethea, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 19:54, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Andy Bethea, Draft:Andy Bethea & User:Acbethea/sandbox/Andy Bethea

Please don't create such nonsense. In addition, it is enough to create the page once, triple is pointless. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 19:59, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Andy Bethea

The article Andy Bethea has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. ~ GB fan 22:27, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
