Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself[edit]

Mr Sullivan, I am sorry that this is not explained more clearly to new users, but Wikipedia is not for what you are doing. It is not a place like LinkedIn or Facebook for people to tell the world about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."

The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 19:00, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
