Vanity articles

edit
 

Please don't create articles about yourself or your friends. We're building an encyclopedia here, and it's very unlikely that your article fits in with that. Creating such articles also makes work for others as we rush to delete them. The Wikipedia policy on vanity articles can be reviewed here and here and the reason your article was deleted can be reviewed here. If you have any questions or need any help, please contact me. Thanks.➨ REDVERS 20:34, 27 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. ➨ REDVERS 20:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes, you can write about other people. In fact, we encourage it! Here's our standard welcome message:


Welcome!

Hello, Jimusthe1st, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

By the way, you replied on the right page, but in the wrong place. If you'd read any of the page before you started writing you'd have seen the prominent message telling you how to reply and where. But nevermind that now. ➨ REDVERS 20:49, 27 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
