 * I regret doing this to your first article, but (although we do not make it as clear to new users as we should) Wikipedia is not a notice-board site like Myspace where people write about themselves and announce their projects: it is a co-operative effort to build an encyclopedia, so that it is selective about article subjects. The general criterion is called WP:Notability and requires evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." For films, the standard is explained at WP:Notability (films). In order to maintain a neutral point of view, users are discouraged from writing about themselves or any subject with which they are closely associated - see Wikipedia is not about YOU and WP:Conflict of interest. Good luck with your film, but Wikipedia is not the place for you to write about it. JohnCD (talk) 22:10, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
