Hello, Akman.

I've noticed you have created an encyclopedia page about yourself, could you please read Autobiography. It is considered bad form to create an encyclopedia entry about yourself here. A general rule is that if you are notable enough to have an encyclopedia entry, someone besides yourself will create it. Editing the Philosopher Stub template to include the same biography you placed on your user page, and encyclopedia entry is disruptive to Wikipedia, since every single page with the "philosopher stub" entry on it will display that text, that is over 800 entries. Citing your own additions to the stub as a source for your own article is also bad form.

You are very welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but please read up on the basic rules of Wikipedia, and what is expected and allowed. --Wingsandsword 14:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
