Inappropriate use of userpage

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I noticed that your user subpage at User talk:InfinitelyWhipped may not meet Wikipedia's user page guidelinebecause Wikipedia is not a webhost for your personal blog. If you believe that your userpage does not violate our guidelines, please leave a note here and we can discuss it. As an alternative, 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 userpage guidelines. Thank you. Yunshui (talk) 08:23, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for the inappropriate use.

I will refrain from writing on this site for a week to punish myself.

We aren't interested in punishing you or in seeing you punish yourself. Instead, please read the userpage guidelines and ensure that your talkpage complies with Wikipedia's policy. Thank you. Yunshui (talk) 08:41, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Which part of it exactly didn't you like?

The user guidelines page is very long...

Per WP:UP#NOT: "Generally, you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so your user page is not a personal website. Your user page is about you as a Wikipedian, and pages in your user space should be used as part of your efforts to contribute to the project... Unrelated content includes, but is not limited to: A weblog recording your non-Wikipedia activities. Extensive discussion not related to Wikipedia. Extensive personal opinions on matters unrelated to Wikipedia... Extensive writings and material on topics having virtually no chance whatsoever of being directly useful to the project, its community, or an encyclopedia article." The current content of this page reads like a personal weblog, and is unrelated to the Wikipedia project. I would suggest you either blank or clear the page (place the {{Db-userreq}} tag at the top of the page to have it deleted). You have made no edits to the encyclopedia outside of this talkpage, which leads me to believe that you are not interested in contributing constructively to the project. If you wish to record a blog, please use a service such as Wordpressor Blogger - Wikipedia is not a webhost. Yunshui (talk) 07:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had this discussion with the Hebrew wikipedia...

I think I contributed a lot.

I'm not going to delete anything I wrote. You can if you want to.

I'm willing to write less "personal stuff" - that's all.

Very well. In light of your apparent willingness to comply with Wikipedia's guidelines, I have redacted all entries on this talkpage barring the welcome template and this conversation. I'm happy to hear that you are willing to write "less "personal stuff"" - please take a look at WP:CTW for some suggestions as to how you might like to contribute in future. Happy editing!

I see that you've chosen to continue treating Wikipedia as your personal blog-hosting service. I have placed a request for a third opinion on this matter. Yunshui (talk) 18:33, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Yunshui (talk) 18:51, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I logged back in in order to dramatically close down my account (see previous history)

But guess I'll stay since everything worked out.

& I'm still Avril Lavigne's slave of course.

Deletion explained

Just so you see what the problem is, I've deleted all the content added that was problematic. It's still in the history of course, should you want any of it. Things to avoid are

Twitter type "what am I doing" posts (use Twitter)
Blog type "this is what I think about..." posts (use Wordpress)
"Lets meet up" type posts (use Facebook)
Posts in other languages (this is the English Wikipedia)
Family history (use Ancestry)

The purpose of this site is to create an encyclopaedia. You need to edit some articles. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 19:31, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
