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. Phollypurcell (talk) 13:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- 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 WP:AFC process but please note we only have articles here on people that meet the notability criteria. Theroadislong (talk) 14:01, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
