Writing about yourself
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) --Jayron32| talk | contribs  03:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Please do not use your userpage to advertise yourself
Please read the Wikipedia Userpage Policy at User page, especially the section titled What may I not have on my user page?, which specifically asks that you do not use your userpage to advertise yourself or your own products. We welcome you and your contributions to Wikipedia, especially towards improving it as an encyclopedia. Though Wikipedia is open to editing by anyone, there are rules as to what is and is not apporpriate for Wikipedia. --Jayron32| talk | contribs 03:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
