Jawed Karim
Hi, I'm Wham2001. I removed the content that you added to Jawed Karim, because I'm not convinced that the website you based it on it meets the Wikipedia criteria for a website to be a reliable source. Source quality is particularly important for a biographical article such as this one. From your username it also appears that you might be the author of the content that you were linking to, which creates the possibility of a conflict of interest. Please read the three policy pages that I've linked to in this paragraph for some more detail about what I am saying.

I'm going to leave you a welcome message, which includes information about how to contribute to Wikipedia. It's best to avoid writing about things that are too closely connected to you, or using your own work as a source, because doing so can make it hard to be objective and neutral. Writing from a neutral point of view is one of Wikipedia's core policies, so it's important to get that right. On the other hand, contributing to Wikipedia can be fun and educational, and I would encourage you to do so! The welcome is general, and I look forward to seeing you around.

Please feel free to leave me a message either here or at my talk page if you have any questions. Best, Wham2001 (talk) 15:48, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
