From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

User pages are for communication and collaboration. While considerable leeway is allowed in personalizing and managing your user pages, they are community project pages, not a personal website, blog, or social networking medium. They should be used to better participate in the community, and not used to excess for unrelated purposes nor to bring the project into disrepute.User pages are pages in the User and User talk namespaces, and are useful for organizing and aiding the work users do on Wikipedia, and facilitating interaction and sharing between users. User pages mainly are for interpersonal discussion, notices, testing and drafts (see: Sandboxes), and, if desired, limited autobiographical and personal content.

User pages are available to Wikipedia users personally for purposes compatible with the Wikipedia project and acceptable to the community; Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. Wikipedia policies concerning the content of pages can and generally do apply to user pages, and users must observe these policies. Users believed to be in violation of these policies should first be advised on their talk page using Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively you may add {{Db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline. Thank you. when immediate action is not otherwise necessary.

[edit]

I don't think I am violating the guideline. Wanted to keep the guidelines on top so I can improve the page.

Be up-front about your close associations If you are going to engage in substantial editing on a subject you have a close association to, you should declare such up-front: place a note on your user page disclosing your associations, and mention it to editors you work with in any depth. However, you must disclose "your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation" under Wikipedia's Terms of Use.

Let me make note here that I have been asked to help Team Task Tracker get listed among the other software that are being compared on Wikipedia. The current list is incomplete.

I am not employee, but independent. I am interested in general contribution to wikipedia in the future and am trying to learn where I can add value.

Don't create new articles[edit source] Avoid creating any new articles (or recreate any deleted articles) on any subject related to your associations. Similarly, avoid creating articles that discuss a company, product, or group you are affiliated with. If no article exists and you believe one should, you can make a request for someone else to post one at Wikipedia:Requested articles. You may make a draft in your userspace (e.g. a page like User:yourname/yourcompany) to mention in your request, but be aware that material that looks like it belongs on a company's web page, or advertising, will be deleted even in user space. As an alternative to this, consider compiling a list of usable reliable sources for others to use, instead of a draft.

How do I do this?
