This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Go promote your act elsewhere, please WuhWuzDat 17:01, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Your user page

I have deleted your user page, which was inappropriate for many reasons:

• Users are volunteers who are here to help build an encyclopedia. User pages are for them, if they choose, to say a little about themselves to help communication with other users about the project. User pages are not for extended material unconnected with Wikipedia - see WP:User pages.

The material would not have been suitable for an article, either, because:

• The content was extremely promotional. Phrases like "catchy songs and superb stage presence... infectious charisma, versatile style, and positive attitude... " are PR-speak, puffery. That was an advertisement, not an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia requires a WP:Neutral point of view and is not for promoting anything.
• Wikipedia only reports on things that are already established. We don't do up and coming. See WP:MUSICBIO for what a performer needs to have achieved before they can have a Wikipedia article.
• Writing about yourself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained here.

The links in the Welcome paragraph above will tell you more about Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 17:03, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
