User talk:Shimmer Beryl

In response to your feedback
Hi Shimmer, and welcome to wikipedia. I see that your edits have been mostly about yourself and that you are fond of sharing your news. Well, I'm afraid Wikipedia's probably not the best place for that - we have notability guidelines, and look for the subjects of our article to already be discussed by multiple independent sources. We also think that it's best that you don't edit articles on yourself, to preserve neutrality, see our conflict of interest guide for more.

Could I suggest that if you're looking to get your name out there, something like Twitter, MySpace or YouTube would be a better way to go? &mdash;  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 10:37, 30 March 2012 (UTC) (recovered from edit history of Shimmer Dawn &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:28, 6 April 2012 (UTC))


 * Also on the basis of Goggle searches for all three variant names that you have used, I would warn you that we take a very dim view of hoaxes. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:28, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Notability of Shimmer Beryl
The article Shimmer Beryl has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
There are many sites like Myspace and Facebook where you can write about yourself, but Wikipedia is different: it is a project to build an encyclopedia. That means it has notability requirements for article subjects, and also that writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Autobiography. Even user pages are not intended for extended biography or self-promotion: they are for the users, who are here to build the encyclopedia, to say something about themselves, if they choose, in order to assist communication within the project. They are not for "substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia."

As Worm that turned has already suggested, for writing about yourself or sharing your opinions, you would be better off on Twitter or Myspace. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:57, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
