This is my user page. My name is Kevin Micheal Gurnick. My most recent article i typed up is written below. If anyone views this page, could you please help me out on how to properly type things up for wikipedia...like how to sign your name and create those boxes that say things in like "This is a stub" and "I verify that all information is correct and written by me, etc." i see alot of those boxes on wikipedia, but i have no clue how to put them in an article...or to create hyperlinks, like where u link one page to another. I wont even bother typing my email, because the stupid thing probably wont allow me, so if anyone can message me through wikipedia and give me some tips, id appreciate it. All i've gotten so far are messages from bots that i am not even sure if i am supposed to respond to or not, nor do i even think they will get the responses. Anyways, here is the article i typed up for the catoptrophobia page. If anyone has any suggestions on how to better type up the page to meet wikipedia standards, please let me know, somehow. Just dont delete the important things i typed(the story of how i developed the phobia for instance, because that is just rude):

Catoptrophobia is the psychological or technical term for the fear of mirrors and/or reflections. It is also known as Eisoptrophobia. People with catoptrophobia may have the disorder due to some traumatic event, or from fear linked to a supernatural issue. For instance, a 6 or 7 year old child may hear a scary story on the bus to school about "Bloody Mary" and become so frightened by it, that the fear stays with them for a long time, possibly forever, and they may be afraid to look into a mirror out of fear that they may see something other then their reflection which is not supposed to be there.(This is the case with myself, the person who is typing this article). That story traumatized me so much that i developed an intense fear of looking into mirrors for my entire life so far, and i am currently 26 years old.(Signed by Dakmg367 on June 16, 2009). The story of Bloody Mary is one of the most popular Urban Legends, which claims that if you wait until midnight, turn out all the lights and say the name Bloody Mary 3 times in a row, she supposedly comes for you, and you either see her face in the mirror, or your own reflection becomes all bloody. This and other horror stories and movies are a major cause of catoptrophobia.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS ARTICLE-I do not know how to link pages or sign my name the correct way, which is why i just typed my own signature. But i suggest someone who is more experienced, expand this article a little bit, rather then deleting it, and maybe linking the Bloody Mary story to a different page(meaning, if u click a hyperlink on this page that says "Bloody Mary", it will link to that page. I apologize, but i do not know how to do that.) This page should stick to the facts mostly about the disorder/phobia itself. And could someone also let me know how to put in one of those boxes that says something like "This and all of its contents is by (my name here) and i approve everything, etc." so that way i can have that next to the story i typed about my past and how i developed catoptrophobia....so it doesn't just get deleted. Because i feel that my story is relevant to the article as being a good example of how someone can develop this disorder, since everything i typed up about myself is true...i dont know whether that means i should type up my real name or not. And i would appreciate it if this article does not get deleted(i am referring to everything that is written above "Suggestions For This Article"....this part should get deleted and redone the correct way....but the first part of the article i typed up should remain, be added to, and maybe possibly edited in a more professional wikipedia approved way. Thank you   -Signed by Kevin Micheal Gurnick

However, if this page does not get fixed up properly, and instead is rudely deleted completely, then i will have all this saved and repasted from a word document which i will have saved. So do me a favor. Dont delete the main section of the article...just redo it in a way that looks proper. Because i dont know how to use computers well enough to do that myself. Maybe someone could message me on how to do hyperlinks and type other things up the way wikipedia is usually typed up.
