Dear , Welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, using your e-mail address as your username is not a good idea. Wikipedia content is extensively copied and the site itself is one of the most visited sites in the world. Any edit you make on Wikipedia will have your username attached to it, and using your email address will make you a tempting target for spammers. We recommend that you change your username at Changing username in order to prevent abuse. However, if you have very few or no edits, it might just be easier to create a new account. If you need any help, simply contact me on my talk page, or go to Help desk. Another option is to place helpme on your own talk page, and someone will come shortly to help. Remember to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). Again, welcome! -- Merope Talk

A tag has been placed on Matthew Russell St. John, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Matthew Russell St. John is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Matthew Russell St. John. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template  to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. -- Merope Talk 20:03, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tags

If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

Since the article you posted appears to be about yourself, I have moved it to your userpage (located at User:Matthew@scofield.org). -- Merope Talk 20:45, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
