User talk:Bbockertats

Welcome
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

If you move the page you created about yourself to the article mainspace, making it a "live" article, it is very likely to be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a directory, or a means of self-promotion and new articles must be written according to Wikipedia's notability guidelines for inclusion. Even if you believe that you meet the notability criteria, writing about yourself, or any subject where you have a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Beloved Freak  08:12, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
