Hi, Bill, and welcome to Wikipedia. I left the boilerplate above for you because it has some helpful links. I see you've been editing the article on yourself — that's how I started out here, too, but it's a bad idea. See WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Your expertise would be of better use editing articles on which you have less of a conflict of interest. I also noticed that you tried to add a photo to your article — the correct way to do that is to upload the image to commons.wikimedia.org (so that it can be used in the Wikipedias of all different languages, not just English) using their upload wizard. But to do this, you need to have explicit permission of the photographer to release it under a suitable creative-commons license (CC-BY-SA is the usual choice). Owning a physical copy of the photo is not good enough to be allowed to release it in this way — the person who took the photo (or whoever owns the actual copyright on the image, in case it's a work-for-hire) must agree. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:02, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * PS Oops, I looked at the picture you tried to add and I see that it's not a photo. So I guess no photographer release would be required. I'm not sure how copyright works for mii images, though. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:17, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
