You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possibleconflict of interest.
Creating anarticle about yourself isstrongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed onarticles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should notstart articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform toWikipedia:No original research,Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, andWikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not"notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy thatWikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify forspeedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (SeeWikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. --Gogo Dodo (talk)20:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content totalk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you shouldsign your posts by typing fourtildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk)20:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hopefully by the time you read this you won't have editing privileges anymore. But as a matter of courtesy:Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Block_evasion:_Julius.mampara.9Nak (talk)23:54, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
