Question from Ibrahim Mohammed Babbuli (09:14, 8 September 2024)
Hello I want to add my biography here --Ibrahim Mohammed Babbuli (talk) 09:14, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Ibrahim Mohammed Babbuli, welcome to Wikipedia! Ixtal has been away from editing for a little while, so I'm happy to help instead. Writing an autobiography is highly discouraged on Wikipedia, as it introduces an unavoidable conflict of interest between you and the article. Please note that all Wikipedia articles must be supported by citations to reliable sources, be free of original research, and be written in a neutral point of view. If you are willing to abide by these policies and genuinely believe that you pass the notability guideline for people, create a draft and submit it to Articles for creation, where a reviewer will provide feedback and create the article when ready. Let me know if you have any other questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
