From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I have read what you wrote on your user page, and I see that you want to contribute to Wikipedia, but there are things you need to understand:

  • Wikipedia is quite choosy about subjects for articles, see WP:Notability and WP:Notability (summary). References in the articles you have been posting either do not work or have only brief mentions of the subject. You may find WP:No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability helps to explain this.
  • If an article you write is deleted, you should not simply post it again. That wastes everyone's time. You can ask the deleting administrator about it, and he or she may be willing to "userfy" the article - restore it to a page in your "user space" where you can work on it; but sometimes you will just have to accept that it is not a suitable subject for a global encyclopedia.
  • You should not write articles about yourself or your friends - this is not a social-networking site. See Wikipedia is not about YOU and WP:Autobiography.
  • If your account is blocked, it is you who are blocked, not just that account. Simply starting a new one is block evasion and "sockpuppetry" and the new account will also be blocked. If you want to be allowed to edit, you should read all the links I have provided, then go back to your first account and make an unblock request at the bottom of its talk page, by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. You will need to explain that you now understand why setting up sockpuppet accounts and re-posting deleted articles is not helpful, and explain what sort of edits you would make if unblocked.
