Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at Terry Martin (philanthropist). 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 Taabii for highlighting some of the pitfalls of writing an article about oneself. I totally understand

Wikipaedia's stance on this. I like to think that anything I write is unbaised and verifiable but of course will concede that my article will probably be deleted. I have been doing 'good works' for a quarter of a century and thought it time to write about Terry Martin ( philanthropist)..I'm in my 70's so I guess that any article about me , by others, will probably be done posthumously !! Anyway, thank you Taabi and good luck. Terrymmartin (talk) 14:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
