Thank you for your email, you seem very nice. One thing about Wikipedia is that you cannot create an article about yourself. It is called a conflict of interest. Basically, it is hard to be neutral about yourself. Someone else can write about you, but that may not help. I will still take a look and see if I can help.

Best Regards,

To clarify, you can create an article about yourself, but we highly discourage people from doing it. As Bfpage noted, it is difficult for a variety of reasons. It is hard to:

• Form an article about yourself based solely on what others have written about you, and avoid inserting your own unpublished personal knowledge and experience
• Be an objective judge of your own notability and write about yourself from the required neutral point of view
• Avoid the temptation to embellish or emphasize the positive aspects of your life, whilst avoiding or downplaying the negative

I suggest you step back and leave the writing to other uninvolved editors. You can post suggestions on the article talk page, which will allay any concerns about conflict of interest. In the meantime, I suggest you review these guidelines and essays:

• Wikipedia:Autobiography
• Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not about YOU
• Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing
