User talk:Simon Edward Smith

Writing a draft article on Wikipedia

Hello, Simon Edward Smith, and welcome to Wikipedia! Just so you are aware, your userpage is a place for you to provide some basic details about yourself, if you wish, in order to introduce yourself to other Wikipedia editors. It is not where you develop a Wikipedia article. This should be done on a separate page as a user draft. Please see this page for more guidance about submitting a new article.

If you're new to Wikipedia, you can see our Introduction page, which will introduce you to what Wikipedia is really about, and you can learn how to edit in a fun, interactive way by playing The Wikipedia Adventure. And finally, if you have any questions, you may ask at the Teahouse, a friendly place for newcomers where experienced editors can answer your questions.

Further advice

I should explain that Wikipedia pages don't go into categories at all until they become articles, and then they should be allocated to a few existing categories. Please don't try to create new categories. Categorisation is a complex system and best left to experienced editors.

I would add that contributors are discouraged from attempting to create articles about themselves. Many of these attempts prove not to satisfy our requirements, including the notability criteria for articles about people: Noyster (talk), 16:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, as you did at Category:Photographic Artist, you may be blocked from editing. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 16:59, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked this account. Wikipedia does not exist to act as a webhost for a small promotional 'press release' about you. User pages are generally reserved for editors who actually contribute content, so other contributors of content can find out useful information and more easily collaborate with each other. If you do wish to contribute to Wikipedia, rather than just advertise yourself, please reply with details of what it is you intend to do. Nick (talk) 17:09, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And in return for sending abusive e-mails, I've removed e-mail and talk page access. You may discuss your block via WP:UTRS instead. Nick (talk) 17:26, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
