You need to start with a colon for any namespace other than Template.

In your example, you should put:
     {{:User:Garykirk/ArticlesIStarted}}

to include that page on another page.

We do this all the time, and have done a coop incorporation by  
splitting up the bylaws into sections that different people worked on.

house for fuel when we should be using nature's inexhaustible sources  
of energy - sun, wind and tide. I'd put my money on the sun and solar  
energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until  
oil and coal run out before we tackle that.
-- Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)
