Your "message" on my talk page

OK first of all calm down and don't SHOUT!

There are no profiles on Wikipedia. To have an article about you on Wikipedia you must be notable as that term is defined on Wikipedia, see WP:N and WP:BIO. Even if you are notable, you are strongly advised not to create an autobiography because you have a conflict of interest - someone will write an article about you sooner or later. If you are not notable, you are allowed briefly to write about yourself on your user page, see WP:UP. If you want your bio to appear somewhere on the net that is indexed by a search engine, try Wikipopuli and Wikibios. Does this help? – ukexpat (talk) 01:27, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
