You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. 98.248.33.198 (talk) 02:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Dr. Lester, although your edits to David Lester (psychologist) seem fine in that they are unbiased, I strongly recommend you read WP:COI and WP:AUTOBIO. More to the point regarding the article itself, you added that you retired in 2015 but did not provide a source, and your CV doesn't say you have retired, which makes sense since it was uploaded in 2012. If you could provide a source and add it to the article to verify you retired last year, that would be great, since having unsourced contentious content in a BLP violates our WP:BLP policy.
