I want to make a wikipedia page about myself. Not so much to post publically (as it wouldn't last anyways) but just as sort of a personal project to reflect and auto-biographize ...show more

Answer:
You can just take a Wikipedia biography article, select all, copy, and then paste into Microsoft Word. Then, in Word, change it to be about you. Let's say you have some things in common with Abraham Lincoln, like maybe you were born in the same state on the same month of the year. Take the Wikipedia article for Lincoln, copy and paste it into Word, replace all instances of Lincoln's name with yours, delete what doesn't apply to you, etc. Save to your hard drive. It will look like a real Wikipedia article, but it will be missing one vital component: lies about you posted by people who don't like you or who might not even know you at all but decide they're going to hate your guts anyway.

Wikipedia prohibits editing your own bio. Chances are you IP will be tracked and the article removed. If you want to do a bio start a blog, it's easier than editing html.
You shouldn't make a Wikipedia page about yourself. If you want to write something about yourself, and to write your autobiography or reflect on yourself, try MySpace or Facebook. Or, try LiveJournal if you're in for some serious navel-gazing. Writing a Wikipedia page about yourself is against their policies, since you won't be considered a notable subject for a biography.

One way to get on Wikipedia is to to actually do something worthy of recognition. You could write a bestseller or come up with a major scientific discovery and the world would most certainly notice. Someone would write a Wikipedia entry for you. But let’s be frank. I’m writing a blog and you’re sitting here reading it. Frankly, it ain’t gonna happen for either of us. Fortunately, Wikipedia is written by people like you and me, and so there are tons of mediocre people (just like you and me) who are writing their own over-hyped articles on Wikipedia as we speak. And even if you did have the talent to do something worthwhile in life, why would you take the trouble anyways? It is much easier to become notable through Wikipedia than to become notable and then get on Wikipedia. Here are the steps to creating your own autobiography on Wikipedia: Step 1. Start websites with legitimate-sounding domain names. In the mafia, you need a shop to act as a front. In the web popularity game, you need to get your name out on Google by posting comments with your name on as many websites and blogs as possible and starting a few fake websites of your own. If you’re a scientist, write about how great you are on your fake website New Sceintist, which sounds a lot like New Scientist. Steal html templates if you can. If it looks similar, it is just as good. Most people can’t read, so who will notice? By getting your name out in cyberspace, you’re increasing your hits on Google, a primary index used to determine if you’ve done anything worthy of Wikipedia. Step 2. Make a list of important-sounding fake publications. This is the most important step. If you’ve ever written anything in life, you need to put it on Wikipedia. For example the essay you wrote on the cow in primary school should be written up as A post-modern analysis of the sociological and economic importance of Bos indicus var. dudhwali in the South Asian subcontinent. Anything will do, but you will need to use words such as “deconstruction,” “post-modern”, “quantum”, “paradigm”, as well as a smattering of South Asian keywords (preferably with religious connotations). That way later if your article is tagged for deletion, you can always challenge the Wikipedia editors. If they dispute the South Asian part, tell them they are perpetrating colonialist stereotypes. If they attack the science, appeal to the art. No one on the planet understands both Derrida and Bose-Einstein statistics. It is as easy as 1-2-3. Follow my example. By putting some very esoteric words in the title of this article, I am enhancing my own reputation as a pundit. Web agrregators will pick it up and soon enough I will be known as an expert in Deconstruction, quantum mechanics, Sufism, and yoga. Repeat after me: “I am as smart as I fake myself out to be”. If you haven’t done anything creative in your life, then use the approach of making up something extremely important. For example, say that your magnum opus is A Long History of the World (Vol I-XX). Always use Roman numerals for volumes and throw in some French or Latin if possible. If challenged to produce your work, say that it was originally written in a now-extinct Andamanese dialect and that the editor is being a racist, Eurocentric pig. If you’re a woman, claim to be the poor victim of a male-dominated society. You can’t lose! Step 3. Create an account on Wikipedia. You’ll need an account to look legit. Without one, editors will flag your IP address. Choose something distinguished such as Rabindranath_Tagore or S_Radhakrishnan and put an embellished resume up on your page. For example, if you know that Achtung is not the sound of a German sneezing, mention on your page that you have native-level comprehension of the German language.

Wikipedia does not allow you to make a biography of yourself. Try looking at biographies on Wikipedia to get the hang of it. Don't talk about your horoscope, favorite food, blood type... Write about your family, childhood, large events, things that you are good at. If you are a musician, you might consider making a list of your albums and the reaction of the public. See if any of them were famous and the public gave a good response. If you are a tennis player, you might consider listing out your matches and winnings and state the time. You might also want to talk about business with sports companies, charity events. Try it out on word first, then try to make it on HTML. If you really don't want to learn HTML but you are experienced to Wikipedia editing and formatting you can make a subpage in your user page and write it there. Simply type "User:(your username)/(name of page)" into the search box. Once there, click on "Start the User:(your username)/(name of page) page" and start editing. One more thing, never abbreviate Wikipedia as "wiki".

Go to a Wikipedia page that you like, and that is simple. Using your browser click "file" and "save page as", and save it to your hard drive. Then find the .html file and open it with any text editor (notepad, Microsoft word...). there will be a lot of html code there, so if you don't know how to read it, just start looking for stuff in there that makes sense (or use the "find" feature of the editor), that you can see and read when you look at the page in your browser. Then just delete their words and put your own in.
