The Laura Hartman page
Ms. Hartman, I came across this article you recently created, Laura Hartman. You've done a lot of work, and on another page, I would be very positive about the edits you've done. However, as the page you are working on appears to be a biography of yourself, I have concerns.

Wikipedia has a guideline in place regarding what are referred to as "vanity" articles. Please click on that link and review the guidelines there, and I think you will see what has caught my eye here.

As you may notice when you read that page, normally when a article is found that appears to violate those vanity guidelines it is soon proposed for deletion. In the case of someone a bit less notable than yourself, the article would be a candidate for what is referred to as the "speedy delete" option. Since the information you have listed on your page appears to indicate that you at least approach the threshold for notability and inclusion, it wouldn't qualify for speedy delete. However, the fact that the article appears to violate the vanity guidelines means that a likely outcome would have it still submitted to the normal article deletion process anyway.

I'm assuming that due to the similar timelines and editing style, that the non-logged in IP address 216.80.64.165 is also you.

I hope this note does not come across as antagonistic - I'm hoping only to familiarize you with current Wiki guidelines and common practice in this area. I certainly hope you continue to edit here on other articles - from your CV it seems you could make a large contribution here. Thanks, --Krich 06:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
