RESPONSE TO SPEEDY DELETION NOTICE I have been asked by many of the people who worked with me on Boston Computer Exchange to document our work and to write my own bio. I have read the bios of many "Internet Entrepreneurs" in the WIki and I have done pioneering work that predates the work of many of the so called pioneers. Given my history, my projects and my teachers- four entried for my four major professors and tutors - I can see no reason why my bio should not appear in the Wiki. Anyone who wishes to delete it - please direct e-mail to me at alex@islands.vi otherwise, let it stand...

Speedy deletion of Alexander Randall 5th
A tag has been placed on Alexander Randall 5th, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD a7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Tckma 03:00, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

You might want to try putting that sort of thing on your User Page. -- Tckma 03:00, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

It looks like you could be notable enough for a Wikipedia article as an academic. However, the article was written in the style of a resume, and Wikipedia is not a resume publishing service. In addition we get so many bad articles with serious conflicts of interest that Wikipedia editors don't have time to find the sources and style for you. However, the article can be recreated if it meets criteria for encyclopedic content for Wikipedia. If you go to my talk page and post 3 completely independent sources about yourself, say reputable newspaper articles and a major journal citation, and I agree that the sources establish your notability (as it appears they will), I will write up a brief and good article about you for Wikipedia, and have other editors who monitor biographies in the arena of living academics monitor the article to prevent vandalism. Here is my talk page: User_talk:KP_Botany  Post on it by clicking the "+" button at the top and simply paste the urls to the relevant internet sources or bibliographic citations. I know the Wikipedia Manual of Style requirements, and guidelines for notability, sufficiently that there will not be any problems including the article--again, if you supply the sources, as my time is rather limited. I think you will be pleased with the articles that experienced Wikipedians can write about academics in general. KP Botany 04:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry
It is considered in bad form to use multiple accounts. Please choose one account and stick to it. As this was the first account you created, and the one with the most edit contributions, I'd suggest this one. When you have agreed to this please post an unblock request here... something like this: without the nowiki tags, and your chosen account name for USERNAME. Your unblock will be granted relatively quickly.`  ALKIVAR &trade; &#x2622; 05:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

unblock|1=I agree to only use my USERNAME account. Alexanderrandall5 03:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC) Excuse me. I had no inkling. i log on from home and from the university and sometimes I sign in and sometime not. I had no idea it mattered. I can easily sign in and be just me. I have been tweaking the data and details for some time. Alexanderrandall5 03:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

So why am I still blocked??? Alexanderrandall5 21:39, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

You have to copy the entire tag, including the double brackets. I'm overwhelmingly busy right now, but still have your stuff on my talk page and will look at it as I can.

Copy this from this page just as it occurs here, not from the edit menu! Then select the edit tab in the upper right and paste it.:

 * Ahh sorry about that... I forgot to add your talk page to my watch list when I added my message. You have been unblocked.  ALKIVAR &trade; &#x2622; 02:09, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Article
I'm outrageously busy right now. You can write the article in your user space, and I will check it. KP Botany 02:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
