As I am very new to this, my question at the moment is simple: How do I add this information without the "User" prefix on the pages I have chosen to be viewed on?

- The short answer is, you don't. It is not permitted to write articles about yourself on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place for advertising or self-promotion. Feel free to write articles about anything else you know about. DJ Clayworth 03:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to assume you are not indeed the artist known as Priz-One, and assume it's mere poor choice on your part. Personally, I'd suggest using a different User-ID so as to avoid confusion, but if you don't want to do so, it's your choice. However, I do recommend you look at List of graffiti artists and see if there are better examples of artists with an entry already. See for example, Zephyr, Lady Pink, Mephisto Jones for examples of articles that have made at least a somewhat solid claim to notablity. They aren't perfect, but they're better.

Hello Priz-One, Please also take a look at the Graffiti artists catagory which is a much larger and informative listing with correctly functioning links to articles on Wikipedia. Lerner
