Speedy deletion of Annals of the Western Shore
A tag has been placed on Annals of the Western Shore, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Hi. This article has been redirected to the Ursula K. Le Guin article. It's still there, under the redirect, so that when you have assembled your material enough to expand it into a full article it'll be good to go. :) As a new contributor, you might not have attempted to edit a redirect page before. When you click on the link to Annals of the Western Shore, it will automatically carry you to the relevant section of the Ursula K. Le Guin page. Scroll up to the top of the page and you'll see "(Redirected from Annals of the Western Shore)" If you click on that wikilinked page from there, it will carry you to the redirect page, which can be edited like any other Wikipedia article. To retrieve the material you've already placed, you can click the "history tab". It will bring up the list of contributors & contributions. Select your last version, and it will bring it up on the screen. Click the "edit this page" tab, and you can resume work where you left off. You might want to take a look at Your first article and How to write a great article. The Tutorial will offer you some guidance in properly formatting the article. If you have any questions about editing Wikipedia (with regards to these policies or elsewhere), you can seek assistance at the help desk. It is manned 24 hours a day by volunteers, and generally questions are answered pretty quickly. Good luck, and happy editing. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
