You might also want to keep Conflict of interest in mind as you edit. Some people around here get snarky about people editing pages on anything closely related to themselves (such as articles about yourself), especially if there's any bias apparent (and, of course, it's quite hard not to be biased about oneself!). Also, if you know of any external sources (newspaper profiles, biographies, etc.) for your information, those are greatly appreciated.

Again, welcome! -- Jonel | Speak 23:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Each edit responds to factual clarities based on information provided by others. They are free to be edited and verified as needed. (ptim) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.10.84.236 (talk) 00:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later.
