A comment - it's never a good idea to submit an article on yourself.
I'm having some machine problems and have to reboot, but don't be surprised if your article gets deleted at some point in the next half-hour.
Then again, I only skimmed it. *shrug* DS 15:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome
Hello, Karriejacobs, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!
As noted in the above comment, you shouldn't write about yourself (see WP:VAIN). I've moved the article to your own user page. Best, Sandstein 16:12, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your e-mail
You wrote:
- Well, if my name is listed in a couple of Wikipedia articles, and it says, when I click on my name that we have no article about this person, feel free to contribute one, it seems logical to do so. But if you'd prefer to have links that lead nowhere, so be it.
Thank you for your e-mail. Nonetheless, it is considered bad form to write about yourself (see Wikipedia:Autobiography). If someone feels you are notable enough for inclusion (as per WP:BIO), they will eventually do it. Best regards, Sandstein 16:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
