In today's meeting, the admin team decided that a rule must be put in place about disallowing users to create an articles about ones-self. Due to a recent issue with a user who created an article about himself and then requested it's removal through sockpuppet accounts.
So, from henceforth, unless you are a notable micronationalist (internationally, not micronationally), do not create articles about yourself!
I think that this is a good idea, but one thing i dont get:
dont you always say that the page can be deleted by the writer?, if it involves their privacy, which a page covered with your name and pictures would be

I don't understand the question.
Like, if the writer/author wanted it to be deleted, and it wasn't something that was constantly contributed to by other people, like a page about yourself wouldn't, couldn't they delete it? Espicially if it had your last name and pictures.

That's more of Wikia's issue than ours.

The person cannot create an article about him/herself.
This rule should encourage micronationalists to spend the time making a page about themselves instead filling out their user page with the relevant information. That is what the user page is for, correct?

Excellent question! You won't get banned for having a pre-existing article about yourself, just send the article to an admin.
