 * If you want to reach Persian speaking people, might I suggest the Persian language Wikipedia? This is the English version of the site, and articles in other languages are usually either deleted or translated fairly quickly.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:21, 17 October 2008 (UTC).

Autobiography
Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, unless your writing has been approved by other editors in the community. Editing a biography about yourself should only be done in clear-cut cases. See Autobiography. Andreas (T) 17:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If the purpose of this article is to make a presence on Wikipedia, then it is spam and will be deleted immediately. This includes a personal resume. This sort of information needs to go in your own personal website, and you cannot expect Wikipedia to direct web traffic to your site. Personally, I do not see a problem with writing your own biography, but the article must satisfy Wikipedia's requirements for all biographies. This includes notability. Why would the Wikipedia reader want to know about you? Did you invent something or pioneer something? Have you been in the newspapers? If so, then you can probably write a noteworthy article about yourself. The English does not have to be perfect - we have thousands of editors that can help with that. If these newspaper articles exist on the Internet, then you can refer to them as references, which will help your article survive here. If you have successfully written a noteworthy biography in English, then it will probably survive on the Farsi Wikipedia, too. Let me know if you need any help. --Cbdorsett (talk) 06:31, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
