Hello, I am very new to wikipedia, but I believe you keep redirecting a page "Russell Gordon" to "Russell T Gordon" and I am working to build the article for "Russell Gordon" as an individual separate from who you are redirecting to. Do you mind guiding me on how to stop the redirect? Thank you. Bentleythomas (talk) 23:21, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Bentleythomas; welcome to Wikipedia! This redirect was created some time ago by my bot, as Russell T. Gordon was at the time the only "Russell Gordon" that we had an article on. Edits since then have just been other bots and users. It does appear that other editors have some concerns regarding the page's content, though; I would encourage you to read our policy on neutral point of view. Also, are you the same person as Russgordon12? Tol (talk | contribs) @ 01:10, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the reply, and I see the concerns now. russgordon12 is my partner and I suppose the article we're trying to build may not make sense at this time. Please forgive my ignorance on wikipedia policies. Bentleythomas (talk) 06:47, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

No worries, @Bentleythomas; thanks for the clarification. As Russgordon12's username suggests a possible connection to Russell Gordon himself, I've left some information on User talk:Russgordon12 regarding our conflict of interest guidelines. You may want to look over these as well in case they are applicable. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 04:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

How do I add my picture --Kiwanuka the Great (talk) 13:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, @Kiwanuka the Great; welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and hosts neutral articles on notable topics. It is not a web host to store personal pages on, nor is it a means of promotion. Because your sandbox article was solely promotional, I tagged it for speedy deletion; I also left more information on what this means on your talk page. You are more than welcome to make constructive, non-promotional edits to improve the encyclopedia, but please do not add promotional content. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
