Wikipedia is not for that sort of thing
Wikipedia is not a place to write about yourself, for reasons explained at Autobiography, and it is not a place to promote anything, especially yourself. There are plenty of sites like Facebook and Myspace where you can post that sort of stuff, but Wikipedia is different: it is a project to create an encyclopedia, articles need to be about notable subjects, to be written from a neutral point of view by people without a conflict of interest, and to be verifiable from reliable sources. Your user page is not for that sort of thing either - it is intended to help communication with the other volunteers who are here to build the encyclopedia, and is not for "substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia".

See the links above for more explanation. JohnCD (talk) 15:48, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
