Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself

Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like LinkedIn or Facebook for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction. JohnCD (talk) 20:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple accounts

I presume you are the same person as user Shahzaib Jamal (talk · contribs). Please choose one account and use only that one. Use of multiple accounts may be considered "sockpuppetry" and lead to the accounts being blocked. JohnCD (talk) 20:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On checking further, I find that your first account had its user page protected for repeated self-promotion, and its Commons uploads mass-deleted. This account is evidently an attempt to evade these restrictions, and I have blocked it as a sock-puppet. You should edit only from user Shahzaib Jamal (talk · contribs), but if you persist in trying to use Wikipedia as a social-networking site for self-promotion, that account will be blocked, too.

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of Shahzaib Jamal (talk · contribs · global contribs · page moves · user creation · block log) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here. ~~~~}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
