User talk:Shane Briant

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article you created at Shane Briant is not suitable for a Wikipedia article, which must have a notable subject and be verifiable, but it may be a good start for your own userpage. I have moved it to User:Shane Briant, which is where you are encouraged to write about yourself. You are free to move it back into the (Main) namespace but bear in mind that if you do so, it is likely to be nominated for deletion.

The purpose of a user page is to enable active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so you should not consider your user page to be a personal homepage. Content unrelated to Wikipedia or its editing may be removed.

Please see the user page guidelines, especially this section for more information.

Please read WP:AUTO. The recommendation is always: wait until someone else writes a biography about you.

OK you probaly are notable and verifiable but I still think it is vanity. The image you uploaded was deleted at your request because you put a {{db-noncom}} tag on it. -- RHaworth 08:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved back to Shane Briant

[edit]

Your article has been moved back to its original place. Thanks for your contributions, and I'm sorry that one user took it upon himself to invoke his opinion as that of Wikipedia. Please be careful that your article does not sound like a glorified vanity piece, only highlighting your best work and avoiding any criticisms that may exist about you (although that probably isn't the case here). — BRIAN0918 • 2006-08-07 00:24

  • Oh, and thanks for twinning Crichton. :) — BRIAN0918 • 2006-08-07 00:32

Clean up

[edit]

Hi, I've copy edited your article somewhat. So that it better reflects the Wikipedia Manual of Style. I removed the bit about your cats, I felt it a bit trivial for an encyclopedia. More the thing for a dust jacket, no matter how much you may love them ;3 Sorry that your first experiences with Wikipedia were a bit naff, but don't let that put you off. It's generally considered bad form to write about one's self. But as Brian said above, if you keep away from the pitfalls it's generally not noticed. If you have some time why not consider improving other articles? I'm sure your life experience would help in making valuable additions to the articles on the Arts. --Monotonehell 06:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the article was not created by Shane Briant. He only edited it.--Dhartung | Talk 13:49, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
