I notice that you created a biographical article about yourself on Wikipedia. This is one of the most common actions of new Wikipedians and indeed I thank you for your contribution to the project. However, Wikipedia has guidelines as to what may and may not be included in the "main" namespace (where most of the articles are) and it appears that your own article did not make it clear whether you met the guidelines.

As a result, I have moved the article and it is now on your userpage where you can add to it and expand it if you wish. This process is called "userfication". If you want to test and experiment with Wikipedia, it is appreciated if you use the sandbox. Unfortunately, your biographical article on the main Wikipedia namespace is not at this time a valid entry in Wikipedia.

Once again, welcome, and I hope you enjoy Wikipedia! Stifle 13:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Humble Pie
Sometimes, Wikipedians have to eat humble pie, also known as eating crow. This is one of those times for me. In my haste to move an article out of the main space, I did not realize that writing five "for Dummies" books qualifies you for a biographical entry. The page will shortly be restored.
