I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!
I notice the similarity between your chosen user name and the only article you have edited and would like to notify you about policy regarding 1) choosing a user name belonging to a real person and 2) editing your own article if you are the subject of the article.
1) It is Wikipedia policy that you may only have a user name of a real person if your real name is the same as that real person. You must either state that you are that person, or make it clear that you are not that real person. You may use the WP:OTRS system to verify your identity. Your username is subject to being blocked if you do not clarify your identity.
2) It is best not to edit your own article because of inherent conflict of interest. While it can be helpful to maintain accuracy of information by having a real person read their own article, it is often too tempting to attempt to rewrite the article in a manner to suit yourself. Wikipedia makes every attempt to be very careful in how biographies of living persons are written such that they are accurately written, and sensitive to many issues. 199.125.109.105 (talk) 03:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
