[edit]

Wikipedia is not a web host for holding personal web pages unrelated to work on building the encyclopaedia. Also, any kind of editing to promote, publicise, or advertise anything is not permitted; that includes creating pages to promote oneself or one's career. You are, of course, welcome to make contributions to the encyclopaedia, in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but if your purpose is to write a personal web page or to publish an online CV or résumé, then you would be better advised to use one of the many web sites which do provide that sort of service, such as a social network site, a web hosting service, or LinkedIn.

If you continue to try to use Wikipedia as a medium for publicising or promoting yourself and your work, you are likely to be blocked from editing by an administrator. Almost all of us, when we start editing Wikipedia, know little or nothing about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so nobody can be blamed for starting out doing things that are contrary to policies and guidelines that they don't know about. However, continuing to do the same things after being told about the relevant policies and guidelines is a different matter. JBW (talk) 20:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
