Hi, Emihle. Welcome to editing Wikipedia. I hope you have a good time here. It was interesting reading about you on your user page, but, unlike a social media site or a blog, Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself. Many editors do write a bit about themselves on their user pages, but that should be mainly connected to their work for the encyclopaedia, and not just about their personal lives. You should also never put information about yourself into articles. Another thing is that Wikipedia discourages young editors from giving too much information about themselves, to avoid possible problems. For those reasons I am afraid I am going to delete your user page.

If you would like to contribute to the encyclopaedia then I suggest the best way to start is to find articles with small improvements you can make, such as putting right little mistakes. Once you get used to how Wikipedia works you can then move on to making bigger contributions. However, if you are not interested in doing that, but are only here to write about yourself, then it will be better to go to a social network site or a blogging host instead of Wikipedia.
