Just wanted to welcome you to Wikipedia. As I am sure you have noticed, your user page have been nominated for deletion. I can appreciate and understand the basic rational for the nomination; many people come to WP and create an article or userpage for self-promotion -- your user page does have a bit of that feeling, have a read of our guideline conflict of interest. The community does give a certain amount of leeway on self-promotion on a userpage to active and contributing users. Perhaps to address some of the conerns, why not remove the link to the external site -- at least for now -- until you have "proven" your contributions to the community. Hopefully you will become an active users. Have a look at some of the links listed above to help you work yourself going forward.

Please don't let a small bump set you off on a wrong path.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 01:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Your userpage
I've speedily ended the deletion discussion on your userpage, keeping it. Please see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Joelporter for more information. Please take a moment to review the userpage guidelines for what Wikipedia User space is for. I've made the assumption that you are the Joel Porter being talked about in the userpage, and changed it from 3rd person to 1st person. Assuming this is you, note that is is generally not appropriate to write autobiographies on Wikipedia. If this is not you, and you want to work on this as an article, you can use your own personal sandbox at User:Joelporter/Sandbox. Thank you, and as others have said, Welcome to Wikipedia. — xaosflux  Talk  16:17, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
