There's a couple of other things you need to read up on

edit

They are called WP:3RR and WP:OWN. Since you previously never bothered to read WP:COI, WP:GNG, and WP:POLITICIAN, I am not getting my hopes up you will you read these either but here's the kicker and it comes from 3RR. You can get blocked from editing Wikipedia for violating it....William 17:40, 5 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ford, welcome to Wikipedia

edit

Ford, welcome to Wikipedia, but you are making a mess of things. Others are trying to clean up after you, but their patience will wear thin. Please consider visiting the Teahouse where editors would be happy to help you.

However, if you persist in adding material not suitable for Wikipedia, you will get blocked. Please ask if you want to know how to do something.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:22, 5 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I agree with you that we have accumulated too many rules. however, I think some of our rules do make sense. For example, many articles, especially articles on cities and towns, have a section to list notable people from that town or city. Many people decide to become an editor to add their girlfriend or their best friend or themselves. If this were allowed without limitation, the articles would become a mess. So we have a rule that lists of notable people can only include notable people. And notable means there have qualified to have an article written about them.
There is no article written about the former first selectman of Pomfret. If there is enough written about him in reliable sources, someone can write an article, then his name can be added.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 13:41, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
