Peter Conover
[edit]Hi,
I think that there are two problems with the page Peter Conover that you created:
- The text that you entered is from the page http://www.peterconover.com/ModernBard.html which says that "Phoenix" owns the copyright. As I understand wikipedia, the text may appear on wikipedia only if we get a permission from phoenix. It is not enough to get a permission to republish it -- we (wikipedians) also may want to edit the text.
- I guess there will be a discussion whether you are "notable" enough for a wikipedia article. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, Wikipedia:Deletion policy, Wikipedia:Guide to deletion.
Also, please have a look at Wikipedia:Autobiographies.
