Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

 * To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own business, read Business' FAQ.

Carrie Tolbert's biographical sketch of Lee Pierce Butler
I have turned the first version of your article (with a small "t") into a redirect to the other. However, Wikipedia already has an article on Lee Pierce Butler; it would be better for you to edit that and add any new (referenced) information you have, rather than start a new parallel article, which will probably be nominated for deletion or for merging with the existing one, in order to avoid confusion. Also, note that we do not give authors' names in the titles of articles, because no article is owned by any one author, and articles may be edited by any user. May I suggest that you compare your article with the existing one, and see what you can add to that? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
