User page[edit]

Hello, Donnalangton. We are glad you registered an account with Wikipedia and we thank you for uploading some images. One of them, Image:MINOR STRIKE SEPT29.jpg, I have added to some relevant articles. However, I notice that almost all your other contributions is to your user page, which appears to chart the history of a punk band you were involved in. Please have a read of WP:NOT#WEBSPACE, user pages are to facilitate contributing to the encyclopaedia, not for hosting non-encyclopaedic material. If you are not interested in contributing to our encyclopaedia, it is likely your page will be deleted soon. Do drop me a line here, on my talk page if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hello again. Thanks for your message. If you think the information you have about the Paisley punk bands are notable (and you have sources to prove it), then please create articles about. Keeping the information on your userpage is not particularly helpful, as it is not part of the encyclopaedia. Others will help you create good articles, so you do not need to worry about being a novice. Note also, that when you uploaded Image:MINOR STRIKE SEPT29.jpg you licensed it under the GFDL copyleft agreement. Therefore you are not in a position to delete this from Wikipedia. If you think you may change you mind about sharing your images with us, you should not upload them in the first place. Rockpocket 22:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
