Userpage
Please read WP:NOT. Wikipedia userpages are for Wikipedia editors. Using your userpage as a web host or as your personal wiki not related to Wikipedia isn't acceptable, and it'll get it deleted. I do hope that you'll work on the encyclopedia; see WP:CTW for information on how to help. Cheers, WODU P  06:11, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
