User talk:Willy turner

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Willy turner may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. --W.marsh 23:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I just moved it to your user page, at User:Willy turner. Biographies in the main article space need to comply with the WP:BIO guideline, while on your user page you can basically write about yourself however you want. So there's no problem with what you wrote, you just put it in slightly the wrong place, so I fixed it. --W.marsh 23:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's somewhat of a complicated issue, but most people feel that Wikipedia is only for writing about topics that have been covered somewhere else, e.g. in newspaper articles, books, etc. Otherwise there's really no way for us to realistically check whether what you're writing about is true. See WP:BIO, that defines what biographical articles are about on Wikipedia. The idea that you can write about absolutely anything is not really correct, sorry. --W.marsh 23:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
