Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Donald Vandergriff. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Thank you. – S. Rich (talk) 14:51, 25 June 2013 (UTC)14:53, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

Don, the guidance on Wikipedian userpages is at WP:UP. With the guidelines in mind, some might find it promotional. Still, your userpage has been viewed (only) 21 times in the last 90 days, so I don't think it many editors will find it objectionable. (For comparison, my userpage has been viewed 1249 times in the last 90 days. The difference is based on the fact that I'm a pretty active Wikipedian and editors want to check out my background.) Anyway, I've added "no index" and {{userpage}} templates to the bottom. This is in keeping with WP policy. The templates will serve to keep the userpage out of search engines. If you have concerns or questions, please comment here. Or you can use the email link on my userpage. Regards. – S. Rich (talk) 16:12, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
