Reverting edits
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.)  -- Orange Mike   &#x007C;   Talk  15:37, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry to have reverted the recent edits you made to Scott Adams. The problems here are two-fold. 1) We have no way of telling whether User:Browserguy is indeed, as you claim to be, Scott Adams; and 2) counter-intuitive though it may sound, we cannot rely on the personal word of anybody, even the subject of an article, as to facts. Especially in the case of biographies of living persons, we require verifiable information from reliable sources, such as books and newspapers. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:37, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Blocked to confirm identity
Hi Browserguy - I notice you're claiming to be Scott Adams. As you can imagine, especially if you are him, we don't want editors gallivanting around Wikipedia claiming to be celebrities; this is for the celebrities' protection. Accordingly, I've blocked this account. To be unblocked, please send an e-mail to info-en@wikimedia.org from an e-mail address that is verifiably Scott Adams', and I'll unblock you. I apologize for this inconvenience, but, as I'm sure you can appreciate, this is necessary to prevent impersonation. Steve Smith (talk) 16:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
