I did notice, however, that you appear to have created an article about yourself, namely Rick Ringbakk. (I am assuming that your login name is indicative of your real name). While you appear to meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion of biographies, we must ask that in the future, you refrain from editing any article about yourself. You are welcome to submit proposed additions to the article's talk page, but per Wikipedia policy, please leave the editing of the article Rick Ringbakk to others. The relevant policies can be found at WP:BIO.

One way you can help is to upload a picture of yourself (unencumbered by copyright) to the Wikipedia servers. If it is a self-made photograph (meaning you own the copyright), you can choose to release it into the public domain or under the GFDL; the latter will limit distribution of the photograph to Wikipedia and other GFDL-compliant media. This is entirely optional, of course.

If you aren't really Rick Ringbakk; you may wish to choose another username; Wikipedia disallows usernames which may be confused with other people (including celebrities).

Thanks, and welcome again to Wikipedia!
