Welcome! Hello, McManly, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the items you have created and edited on your sandbox sub-page appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians —a s this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Please do not think of ever putting that into main space - or it will be sad for you and others... best somewhere other than wikipedia...

The appropriate links to understand the policies and principles behind this prohibition are at WP:COI and WP:AUTO.
