Hi David, Wikipedia is not a social networking website. Therefore, it is not the place to post your biography. You might have noticed when you added your name to the "David Thomas" disambiguation page that all the other David Thomases are notable figures on the national and international stage. To that end, I've removed your reference and deleted your article. You are welcome to edit Wikipedia, and I've provided links above to help you get oriented. Just don't use Wikipedia to create articles about yourself. Thanks, Rklawton (talk) 14:13, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Castle house.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
