Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

The edit you made to the List of climbers, of adding your own name, has been reverted because you make no claim to notability like a first ascent of a major route, leading a major expedition or other notable mountaineering feat. If every climber with 30 years experience were to be listed here it would go on forever. It is intended for well known figures in mountaineering. Inclusion rationale has been discussed recently on the talk page. Besides if you are notable, adding yourself is regarded as vanity and you should wait until someone else writes about you instead, and no one has done that yet. Your entry was a redlink, so article had been written. However, you have correctly added information about yourself and your mountaineering experience to your user page as is appropriate. Please continue to contribute to subjects you know about. You could write some biographies of notable mountaineers who are already on the List of climbers as constructive contributions as you have a lot of mountaineering experience and no doubt know some of the people who have not had an article written about them yet, like the Burgess twins, Riccardo Cassin, Wilf Noyce, Nick Estcourt, Dick Renshaw to name a few.
