Eric S. Raymond

Well I've never heard of the guy, but one thing you'll notice from the page history is that Eric S. Raymond didn't create the article himself: someone else did because they thought he was notable enough for an article, and other people have contributed believing him to be notable. One of the golden rules here is that even if you are notable enough to have your own article on wikipedia, don't start it yourself. If you're not (and I'm sory but nothing in your edits gave me cause to believe you are encyclopedic in any way) then ou have your own user page to use but if you're looking for an article for yourself, start your own website, it's easy enough these days. We don't have even redirects from main namespace to user namespace, apart from very exceptional circumstances. Hope this helps. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 23:16, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
