Wikipedia is not a web host for holding personal web pages unrelated to work on building the encyclopaedia. You are, of course, welcome to make contributions to the encyclopaedia, in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but if your purpose is to write a personal web page, then you would be better advised to use one of the many web sites which do provide that sort of service, such as a social network site or a web hosting service.

Tell about yourself?
I wasn't trying to create a webpage for myself. I already have one of those. I thought it would be better to use my bio to introduce myself? Did I misunderstand what it means to tell about yourself? Sondaicr8tive (talk) 15:03, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


 * OK, I have restored your user page. The trouble is that when a new editor starts by creating a user page about himself or herself and posts stuff in it about themselves totally unrelated to Wikipedia, 90% of the time it is someone who is here just to use Wikipedia to write about themselves, not to contribute to the encyclopaedia. However, your user page is not a blatant attempt to treat Wikipedia as a blog or social network site, which is what we get from some people, and if you are here to contribute to the encyclopaedia I am willing to let it stay. I am also giving you (below) a notice which includes links to various pages which may help you to get going on contributing to Wikipedia. Don't try to read and learn everything there before you do any editing, as there is far too much to take in, but do have a look at any pages which look relevant to what you would like to do, and come back to it as and when you find a need to know about something else.

 * There has got to be a better way to gage that. I was all set to just chalk it up. Thanks for restoring the page.

 * After five months you have still done no editing at all apart from creating a user page which is unconnected to editing Wikipedia and commenting on it here. It therefore seems that after all you are "someone who is here just to use Wikipedia to write about themselves, not to contribute to the encyclopaedia", so I have deleted your user page again.
