Slovenliness
I have moved Jack d. rollins to User:Jarollin/sandbox. In fact full professors are usually deemed notable enough to qualify for an article but this piece was so totally slovenly that I felt something had to be done. Please read our standard advice about autobios below. But if you insist on writing about yourself, please take the time to create a proper article - look at the bios for comparable people. We do not want ugly, unformatted lists of your works and citations - those go on your website to which you are allowed to link. &mdash; RHaworth 14:16, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

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.) Thank you. &mdash; RHaworth 14:16, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
