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 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.)

WARNING

Your attempt on 21 Feb 2007 to edit the Wikipedia article on the False Memory Foundation violates numerous Wikipedia policies. Please read the following very carefully:

1. Wikipedia has a policy against editing or writing articles about subjects in which you are personally involved. As the Executive Director of the FMSF, you are personally involved, and have a serious conflict of interest. If you or your proxies persist in editing this article this dispute will be taken to a higher level for arbitration. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Autobiography.
2. Your changes violate the Wikipedia policy which requires a neutral point of view. See Wikipedia:Neutral Point of View. You cannot simply delete sections that deal with a real controversy, as if to pretend that the controversy does not exist.
3. It is Wikipedia policy to report both sides of any controversial topic, with negative material usually placed in a section entitled Controversy. See Wikipedia:Guidelines for controversial articles.
4. I have tagged the discussion page for the article on the False Memory Syndrome Foundation with the "controversial" category, so that it will be monitored by Wikipedia administrators.
5. Please refrain from any more edits to the False Memory Syndrome Foundation article, or any other articles about yourself and your activities. You have a severe conflict of interest, which by Wikipedia policy disqualifies you from editing these particular articles. —Aetheling 04:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
