Alli Joseph
Hi! I find it easiest to reply to messages point by point, so bear with me... "Thanks, Geniac, for the welcome to Wikipedia." - You're welcome! "I uploaded a page under my account name that appears not to have published," - It was published, but I see you actually posted that information to your user page, User:Alli Joseph instead of the article Alli Joseph, which currently redirects to Anthony D. Weiner. (To see a non-redirecting version of that article, try here.) "...even though the formatting appears to be correct and when I preview it it looks fine." - The formatting looks fine, yes; you did a great job making wikilinks, sections and category links. "Could you please advise on why this is? I am assuming either it is being "fact checked" by someone/some engine or that I did something incorrectly. Thank you." - When editing any article or user page or talk page anywhere on Wikipedia, your changes will be visible immediately after you press "Save page". Could you verify that you are, in fact, "the" Alli Joseph? Any further questions, feel free to ask. --Geniac 13:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If you are not, please read Username, in particular "Names of well-known living or recently deceased people".
 * If you are, please read Autobiography; creating an article about yourself is discouraged. I personally don't see a problem with it as long as the information is neutral and verifiable.

"Geniac, per below, I am Alli Joseph." - Thank you for confirming that. "The information on the user page I created is factual, as it is my bio." - The content of your user page was deleted by User:Mailer diablo. See User page. "I can't seem to make my user page into an "article" page." - Go here, remove the redirect and type away. Just be sure that what you write is neutral and verifiable. --Geniac 14:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
