How Wikipedia works
You seem to misunderstand what Wikipedia is about - it's not an alternative to Facebook, it's not intended for writing about yourself. Indeed, there are strict rules on not writing about yourself - have a read of WP:Conflict of interest. Also there are strict rules on whether a subject is notable enough for an article - and there's nothing in your contributions so far that suggest you make it at present. Have a read of WP:NOTABILITY, and the more informal WP:GARAGEBAND. Also you seemed to be trying to turn a category into an article which is not what they're for - have a read of WP:Categorization. Just generally, I would be far more cautious about releasing public data onto the internet - a full name and a date of birth is a great place to start for someone wanting to steal your identity. I'm sorry to throw all of this at you, I'm sure you can become a valued part of Wikipedia - just so long as you understand that it's an encyclopedia and not a publicity device. Best wishes.
