User pages
Hello, Michael,

Please review User pages, particularly User pages so you might see what user pages on Wikipedia are used for. Please do not copy articles from the main space into your user space. Even if you are intending to improve the articles, you can not just replace an article in the main space with your user space or draft version. Wikipedia has to maintain an article's edit history and "cut and paste" edits of large chunks of content are not allowed.

If you have questions about user pages or editing on Wikipedia, please visit the Teahouse where experienced editors can address your concerns. Liz Read! Talk! 20:44, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
