You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 21:12, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Check of article

Hey, I looked over the article like I said I would, and I noticed a few things that need changing. I'll just list them here and you can go ahead and fix them whenever you get a chance.

Your second source is a Wikipedia article - you can't have that. For another thing, Moore isn't mentioned at all in the Rexroth article: it would be a bad source anyway.
You need to change the caption of the picture - something like "Moore in 2009" or something.
You need more references. Don't get discouraged when I say that - every article on Wikipedia needs more references. But it helps for new articles to have as many as you can find.
I'm kind of worried that the article does not establish notability. See WP:AUTHOR for more information on this - you need to make sure he meets this criteria, and prove it in the article with sources.
I also think much of the wording needs to be changed - sentences like "His parents were, as he later recalled, “. . .like everyone else in the neighborhood, ambitious, racist, xenophobic, and headed for disaster”" really don't belong in an encyclopedia article, especially without a source on them.

Not all of these things should keep the article from going "live," just be aware they should be changed and when the article's up on Wikipedia, anyone coming along is likely to change them. I would recommend you see to 1, 2, and 4 before moving the article into mainspace. If you need anything else, let me know here, or find me in the help channel.
