seppuku Writing a wikipedia article about yourself is like stabbing yourself in the stomach with a fork. You're allowed to try, but it's a bad idea. It'll be a lot more painful than you expect, you'll look stupid, and in the end it'll be a mess that someone else has to clean up.

The general rule is one editor, one account. Do not use multiple accounts unless secondary accounts are clearly identified as legitimate alternative accounts of your main account. Do not ask your friends to create accounts to support you. Do not revive old unused accounts and use them as different users. http://enwp.org/WP:SOCK
sofixit The Wikipedia community encourages users to be bold when updating the encyclopedia. Wikis like ours develop faster when everybody helps to fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure wording is accurate, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:SOFIXIT
sources As an encyclopedia, we summarise what other people have written about a subject, and for that we need multiple published sources which have significant coverage of a subject, are independent from the subject, and have editorial oversight and a reputation for fact-checking
