[edit] Timothy Michael Powell
Hi there. Your first contribution was Timothy Michael Powell. Unfortunately the article doesn't conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, and it was moved to your userspace at User:Powelltimothy. Please do not be disheartened by this. Please continue to edit Wikipedia and add articles which conform with the inclusion criteria. For more help, see Help:Contents and to find out what will probably be deleted, see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks, and if you have any questions, please ask them on my user talk page. To do this, click on my name (just after this sentence) and click discussion at the top and then the (+) button at the top. Carcharoth 01:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
It is felt that the article you created at Timothy Michael Powell is not suitable for a Wikipedia article, which must have a notable subject and be verifiable. It has been moved to User:Powelltimothy, which is where users are free to write about themselves. You are at liberty to move it back into the (Main) namespace but bear in mind that if you do so, it is likely to be nominated for deletion or deleted immediately.
Note, however, that the purpose of a user page is to enable active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so your user page is not a personal homepage. Content unrelated to Wikipedia or its editing is likely to be removed.
Please see the user page guidelines, especially this section for more information.
