Hello, Christian40489! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 13:20, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Christian40489, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Getting started
• Introductory tutorial
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• The Teahouse

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!

Thanks for your message, Jim. Sorry but I did not want to create an article about myself. I just wanted to create a user page. Not being very familiar with Wiki's English web surface I used the wrong method. Please accept my apologies.

An article you recently created, Beate Hahn, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article is now in mainspace as Beate Hahn.--Ipigott (talk) 12:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Christian40489, for creating your first article on the EN wiki, Beate Hahn. If you intend to create more biographies of women, you might like to join WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to improve coverage of women. You can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:14, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've just noticed that Beate Hahn is essentially a translation of the German article. In such cases, in order to avoid copyright problems, you need to mention this in one of your copy edits. You can find more information on Help:Translation and for this article, on WP:RIA. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties.--Ipigott (talk) 12:32, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ipigott,

I am the author of both, the German and the English article. For that reason there should be no copyright issues. The English version is not just a translation of the German article but has a different focus since it targets a different audience.Rgds Christian40489 (talk) 16:08, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
