Your user page
As a result of the discussion linked at the top of this page, I have moved the content of your user page to a user sub-page at User:Daniel TIsdale/Daniel Tisdale. Our User-page policy lists among things that a user-page should not contain "Generally, you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to Wikipedia." and "Extensive self-promotional material that is unrelated to your activities as a Wikipedian"; this page looked more like a draft for an article.

Assuming that that is your intention, please read WP:Autobiography for the reasons why it is discouraged, and the guide to writing WP:Your first article, noting particularly two important considerations:

Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:54, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Verifiability: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth&mdash;that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true." Claims in an article need to be backed up references. WP:CITE explains how to add them.
 * Notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." More detail at WP:Notability (people).
