Your user page
Hello, Nathan. Your user page was nominated for speedy deletion as an attack page. I don't agree that it was an attack page, but I have deleted it for a different reason. Wikipedia guidelines discourage us from revealing personal details about ourselves, because there have been cases where other people have used such information to harass or attack the people involved. This has sometimes even involved interfering with people's real life, outside Wikipedia. Wikipedia also has a policy of protecting minors, and if a minor makes the mistake of revealing too much about themselves, that information may be removed for that reason.

Even if you had not revealed personal details that might make you identifiable, the page was not really suitable as a Wikipedia user page, and would very probably have been deleted sooner or later. A Wikipedia user page is supposed to be for providing a little information about oneself relating to one's work for the encyclopaedia. It is true that a fair bit of leeway is allowed on what is considered to be related, but your user page was a fairly long personal page about yourself, not remotely related to editing the encyclopaedia, and was really more suitable for a social networking site.
