User and user talk pages
Hi Dickeyj. I moved the text at the top of this page to your user page. This is your user talk page, and its purpose is for discussion and collaboration about articles. Non-talk content should not be placed on this page.

I should point out that Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'"

You should consider paring down the amount of information on your user page to make it seem like less of an autobiography, which is not desirable on Wikipedia. WP:UPYES has examples of what is considered acceptable content for user pages.

Hopefully this has been useful, and you will continue to contribute to the project. Cheers. --Drm310 (talk) 22:20, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
