What Wikipedia is for edit

Dr Diba, welcome to Wikipedia, but there are two problems with what you are doing:

  • Wikipedia user pages are for the individual contributors to say something about themselves, if they choose, in the context of their Wikipedia work. Each contributor should normally use only one account, not start a new account for every subject he writes about.
  • Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, which means that its role is to summarise information already published in reliable sources, It is not a place to publish new ideas or essays. Please read the important policy Wikipedia:No original research, noting in particular the passages:

"If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery."

"Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources."

See also Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought.

I suggest that you set up a new, single account for yourself, rather than use this one. The username can be related to your real name, or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it should not be the name of any other living person, or of any group or organization.

If you want to make a draft article, you can click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title. That will make a draft page where you can work on an article, with a link to send it for review to WP:Articles for creation, where an experienced user will review it and either accept it or give you feedback.

The Welcome page and the WP:Introduction will tell you more about Wikipedia and how you can contribute, and there is good advice at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 12:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

One further point: Wikipedia articles are not signed, because they are generally the product of collaboration and revision by many contributors - nobody "owns" any article. Credit for contributions is given by way of the article history, which is another reason for contributors to have a single account. On talk pages like this, contributions should be signed by ending them with a group of four "tilde" characters ~~~~, which the sytem will convert to a "signature" of your username and the time and date, like this: JohnCD (talk) 12:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
