 * 1) 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.
 * 2) Editing for the purpose of promoting, publicising, or advertising anything or anyone is not permitted by Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia content must be written from a neutral point of view.
 * 3) It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account, for the simple reason that very often people come to Wikipedia and falsely claim to have copyright rights that in fact they don't have. Also, even on the rare occasions when there is no copyright problem, content from an organisation's, person's, or business's own website is not usually suitable for Wikipedia, as it is almost invariably written in terms designed to promote the person or organisation and give a good impression of it, rather than presenting it from a neutral point of view.

For all of those reasons, either one of which alone would have been sufficient, the page you have created will be deleted. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:39, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
