Specifically, you may want to take a look at Wikipedia's guidelines on user pages. It is fine to include some content about yourself, but excessive promotional content is not allowed. Here are some general guidelines for what to include on user pages. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

December 2016[edit]

Hello, I'm Viewmont Viking. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please refrain from making test edits to Wikipedia pages, such as the one you made with this edit to Fume event, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Mike1901 (talk) 15:24, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Aerotoxic syndrome. sciencewatcher (talk) 16:04, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

December 2018[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. 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. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
