Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not about YOU

Wikipedia is not the place to write about yourself or your personal projects

While we're happy that you have chosen to contribute to Wikipedia, you need to remember... Wikipedia is not about you.

Sure, you see Wikipedia articles on all sorts of individuals, films, companies, projects, etc., but it is strongly urged that those articles not be written by involved persons. Yes, it can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement, and perhaps you might feel your personal knowledge uniquely qualifies you on the subject, but that involvement and that personal knowledge reflect a conflict of interest. That you might "know" something is fine, but for inclusion in Wikipedia, we require confirmation that the world at large already knows about it too.
