Response
I read your rationale for keeping Carolyn's Hesburgh Project. However, I think you misunderstood my deletion rationale. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to post schoolwork. When I stated that your work duplicates the article Theodore Hesburgh. what I meant is that you created an article about a topic on which there was already an article. If you think the existing article has inaccuracies or omissions, please feel free to make the necessary edits that will remedy the situation, but please do not create an alternate article.

If you have a school assignment that requires that you post your work online, please do not use Wikipedia as a place to do the posting, even if your teacher requested that you do so: you can (and should) create a blog at http://www.blogspot.com instead. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
