Wikipedia is not a web host for holding personal web pages unrelated to work on building the encyclopaedia. I am perfectly willing to believe that you originally came to Wikipedia honestly believing that treating as a social network or blog would be acceptable, but after you had been told otherwise and your user page had been deleted, you knew that it wasn't acceptable, yet you went ahead and did the same again. 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. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 08:25, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
