Welcome!

Hello, Manhattan, NYC., and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Joy Bridenbaker, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

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 have any questions ask me on my talk page or you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!  JavaHurricane 02:06, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dear Manhattan, NYC:

Here's a copy of User:MER-C/ENC. Please read and enjoy!

WIKIPEDIA IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA

You cannot advertise your business here!
Wikipedia is not a means of boosting your ego!
Wikipedia is not a marketing or public relations tool!
Wikipedia is not a free web host!
Wikipedia is not a social networking site!
Your official bio is NOT an encyclopedia article!
Your LinkedIn profile is NOT an encyclopedia article!
You are NOT entitled to a Wikipedia article!
WIKIPEDIA IS CURATED BY VOLUNTEERS
