User talk:Richvreeland

December 2012
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your userpage does not violate our guidelines, please leave a note on this page. As an alternative, you may add  to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's userpage guidelines. Thank you. —S MALL JIM   12:41, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for tidying up the page a bit, but I must emphasise the part of the guideline which says that user pages should only contain material relevant to your work as an editor here: they are not to be used as a personal website, nor for self-promotion. It sounds like you should read our conflict of interest guideline, too. Remember that Wikipedia consists of an online community of individuals interested in building a high-quality encyclopedia. —S MALL JIM   13:18, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
