Greetings, and welcome to Wikipedia. Are you the creator of the Michael Collins (broker) article? You may wish to note Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. I do not believe your article is suitable for inclusion, as it appears to be either a vanity page or a piece of fiction. Neither are acceptable; I could list in on WP:VFD for deletion, but if you agree after reading the page that it does not belong, you can paste in {{db|requested by author}} and an administrator will come by and delete it for you.
If you'd like to edit other articles, here are some pages you might want to visit:
- Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset: A simple overview of the guidelines of the Wikipedia community.
- Wikipedia:How to edit a page: Everything you ever really wanted to know about formatting and markup, but were afraid to ask.
- Wikipedia:Manual of style: Now that you know how to edit a page, how should you write in it?
- Wikipedia:Sandbox: Here's the place to do editing tests without worrying about messing anything up.
- Wikipedia:Glossary: Words specific to Wikipedia and wiki culture (for example, the tendency to stick "wiki" in front of everything!) and frequently used abbreviations that you might encounter.
- Wikipedia:FAQ: Questions and answers about various topics, including technical aspects, copyright, and a general overview of the project.
- Wikipedia:Help desk: Got a question not answered in any of the help materials, or just can't find it (understandable, even for someone who's been around a while)? Ask it here!
- Wikipedia:Village pump: Want to see what's going on around Wikipedia? Here's where people are talking.
- Wikipedia:Community Portal: Just about anything else you as a Wikipedia editor might want to find is linked from here.
