Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. 'To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable'', that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (people) for more detail.''' Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more: JohnCD (talk) 20:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own business, read Business' FAQ.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

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.
