Editing my user page

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

There is an existing Scott Ambler page, which is me. How do I automatically redirect my user page to my existing page? Right now I have a redirect set up, but it still seems to require people to click on the link (at least it does in Safari). Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott. I see you've already worked out how to make your userpage into a redirect. However, your userpage is really supposed to be about you as a Wikipedian - there's nothing wrong with having a link on there to the article, but the page should cover your work on Wikipedia more than your real-life achievements. Ymblanter (a.k.a. Yaroslav Blanter) has a userpage that serves as a pretty good example. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:10, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the redirect for the reason explained above. This is explained on Wikipedia:User pages. Feel free to ping me if additional details are required. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:12, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits to Agile software development

Scott, you may want to be careful about adding links to your own website and writings to the Agile software development article. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and adding such self-links can create a perception of self-promotion. One approach that has been suggested in the past for situations like this is to post the links you think should be added to the article talk page first, and let others add them to the article if they think the links are worthwhile. Please note that I'm not suggesting that you should go back and do that for the links you've just added. I'm simply suggesting it as something that you might consider doing in the future to avoid creating unnecessary friction with other members of the Wikipedia community. --Allan McInnes (talk) 17:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Disciplined Agile Delivery

The article Disciplined Agile Delivery has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Term coined by a company/person/author that is not widely used in the industry; article is essentially a promotional piece for a book.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 20:06, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
