Welcome!
Hello, JohnRaymondBarker, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Hi there--I definitely have a lot to learn, but I am confused. The deleted page was not intended to be an article. I thought it was the userpage for where I would place my bio which I carefully crafted to include items that would indicate my areas of expertise, qualifications, and/or areas of interest. I was not trying to promote myself. Perhaps, I should have been more brief--though it was no longer than others' I've seen. With absolute respect, I think instead of a complete deletion, perhaps reinstatement with possible edits requested would be more fair? JohnRaymondBarker (talk) 10:34, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You might wanna check out WP:UPGOOD and WP:UPNOT as those tables generally lay out userpage policy. Wikipedia is not a web host, and so userpages should generally reflect that. As an example, you may like to check out the userpage of admin . Curbon7 (talk) 15:42, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for all of your help. I hope this new userpage is better suited for the work we are all doing here. Best regards. JohnRaymondBarker (talk) 17:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
