Speedy deletion nomination of Paula Moffett cootehill
A tag has been placed on Paula Moffett cootehill requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Using Wikipedia as a blog
I noticed on your recent page Paula Moffett cootehill that you "hope that Wikipedia wouldn't mind me [you] using their site as a blog".

Unfortunately Wikipedia is not a blog site, it is an online encyclopedia. Imagine the chaos if someone tried to use the Brittanica Encyclopedia to write about their day to day activities. There are sites available on the internet where you can blog (ie Blogger, Twitter etc) but do not use Wikipedia, your efforts will most likely be deleted. There is hope though: you can write pretty much anything on your user page, so long as it meets the user page guidelines, but don't use the main article space for a blog. FMI see what Wikipedia is not.

Thank you for understanding, feel free to message me on my talk page if you have any further questions. Oh and er... welcome to Wikipedia :) There's a few handy links posted below ;) Manadude2 : Talk  20:55, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * For now, I have moved the page to your user space. (The Wikipedia policies allow users to keep a limited amount of personal content in their user space; but since Wikipedia is not a hosting service, excessive content unrelated to Wikipedia and user pages of inactive users may be deleted. For further information, see the user space guidelines.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 21:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
