Greetings, and welcome to Wikipedia. Are you the creator of the Michael Collins (broker) article? You may wish to note What Wikipedia is not. I do not believe your article is suitable for inclusion, as it appears to be either a vanity page or a piece of fiction. Neither are acceptable; I could list in on WP:VFD for deletion, but if you agree after reading the page that it does not belong, you can paste in and an administrator will come by and delete it for you.

If you'd like to edit other articles, here are some pages you might want to visit:
 * Simplified Ruleset: A simple overview of the guidelines of the Wikipedia community.
 * How to edit a page: Everything you ever really wanted to know about formatting and markup, but were afraid to ask.
 * Manual of style: Now that you know how to edit a page, how should you write in it?
 * Sandbox: Here's the place to do editing tests without worrying about messing anything up.
 * Glossary: Words specific to Wikipedia and wiki culture (for example, the tendency to stick "wiki" in front of everything!) and frequently used abbreviations that you might encounter.
 * FAQ: Questions and answers about various topics, including technical aspects, copyright, and a general overview of the project.
 * Help desk: Got a question not answered in any of the help materials, or just can't find it (understandable, even for someone who's been around a while)? Ask it here!
 * Village pump: Want to see what's going on around Wikipedia? Here's where people are talking.
 * Community Portal: Just about anything else you as a Wikipedia editor might want to find is linked from here.
